The New Post ONCE.

According to The promise of the superintend-
ing architect of the new Post Office, to whom
the Treasury Department has entrusted the
erection Of the building which is to be located
in The City Hall Park, the first work on that
ediGce will commence tomorrow. If we can
rely upon the statements of Mr.. Mullett, aud
we presume that his intentions In tho premises
are sincere, the structure will be ready for
roofing in the fall of 1870. He proposes to
hold all the contractors to the strict letter of
their engagements as to the time Of furnishing
the material. This will be an important thing
to accomplish as beginning, and if the arch-
tect can only succeed in getting the contract
OTIS to furnish the right kind of material It will
be better still. We have notable example Of
the failure TO do this in the contracts for the
iron work in the new Court House-thst monu-
ment Of fraud, extravaganza and procrastins-
ton.
The plans which Mr.. Mullett has adopted en-
brace many desirable points, particularly the
| idea of rapid distribution Of the newspaper
mails by means of pneumatic railways running
| from the publication Offices to the Post Office.
| 1t is designed by this means to save time In the
early hours of the morning, when the work Of
sending of the mails BY The early trains is most
pressing on the Post Office employees. Such q
process would undoubtedly be great saving
of time The details, however, are matters for
future consideration. The important fact to
be accomplished now is the immediate erection
| of this much needed Post Office. We hope
that Mr. Mullett viii be able to fulfil his
promise, if it is only to show how public
| building of this character, which we know by
the plans and drawings will far exceed in
architectural beauty aud elaboration the Court
House in the same park, can be erected in q
tenth part of the time, under the prompt whip
and spur Of the federal government, which it
required our corrupt city government to half
complete the Court House structure.

in one case out Of dvs he may DO arrested.
provided that large reward is offered, when
will compensate the detective officers Tor their
valuable time. But in quiet little town like
Port Jervis this murder becomes sensation.
Every inhabitant is interested in the fate OF
the victim, and every one there will probably
see to il that justice is done TO his slayer. The
murder OF Mr.. Swinton was most aggravated
case. The Coroner's jury have declared that
the crime WAS committed wholly without pro-
vocation, and upon this verdict We can presume
that the law win vindicate itself should the
murderer survive his injuries.

The sudden cutting off by pistol shot in
the hands Of worthless rowdy'of respecta-
BILE citizen of Port Jervis Is one Of the tragic
events which do not frequently occur.in our
country villages. II only proves that the
same causes produce like effects, whether in
the country or the city. Drunken runians
shoot down unofending people here almost
every day, aud the incident il hardly taken
notice Of We might cite here the case of
poor Mr.. Rogers, and the impunity OF his
murderer. There Is, Of course, an account Of
II 10 the papers, and there is q temporary
hustle at Police Headquarters. A few de-
teotives are on the track Of the murderer. end

The SARATOGA RQces.

Wednesday, the opening day Of the sixth
annual meeting Of the Saratoga Racing Asso-
citation, will DO memorable for its bright, ex-
hilarating weather. its numerous entries,
which indicate that ere long the entries at
American races will equal, if not surpass,
those at English races; its extraordinary ex-
hibition Of speed Ctwo out Of its three contests
having been the fastest that ever took place in
this country, and, finally, its crowded assem-
blage of representatives of beauty, fashion
and wealth. On Thursday, another delightful
day for racing, the weather being fine and the
track in excellent condition, three capital races
were run, but the beautiful contest for the
Saratoga Cup was unhappily marred by foul
play, which required and received strict and
immediate investigation. In consequence Of
the proved fraudulent riding of vauxhalls
rider, who, it was manifest, designedly lost
the race, it was decided that call bets, pools or
Otherwise, on or against Vauxhall, or q pool
of horses in which vauxhall is included, are
declared of, and the rider himself is ruled of
and will not be permitted to ride again on the
course" One notable incident of Thursday is
that leading fashionable lady won five
thousand dollars on the first race and lost it
all on the second. On Friday the interest Of
the spectators was concentrated on 1.-TWO races
and walk over" and yesterday three OF the
most exciting races of the week came off.
Fashion displayed again her latest novelties
and the streets and hotels Of Saratoga pre-
scented the same animated appearance as on
the previous days Of the meeting. The per-
feet order and decorum which have prevailed
throughout the meeting are subjects Of uni
versal comment.
For Eve years past the Saratoga races
have steadily grown in popular favor.
They have fully reaped the peculiar advan-
tages Of being held at favorite summer re-
sort for visitors from every section Of the
United States. They have now so firm hold
upon the interest of all classes in our commu-
nifty, and so vast capital Is directly or indi-
rectly devoted to sustaining them, that they
have already become almost national in their
character. Our Saratoga correspondent says
that the success Of this opening day consists as
much in the promise il gives Of the organiza-
ton of national racing association there as
in the brilliancy of'the occasion itself. We
take pleasure in watching the growth Of an in
terest in horse racing az one of our noblest
national SPORTS because we hope that here 1t
may be freed from evils incident to the
English turf, but by no means insepara-
bly, connected with 1t. The ruin wrought
by these evils to many English noblomen and
to many more victims of humber rank, has
recently been illustrated by shocking instances
which seem almost to justify the late poet
laureatss TRADE against horse races. But
soulher should rather hare directed BIZ TRADE

without q national injustice. Since the Revo-
lutionary War all our political agitation has
had more or less direct reference to slavery,
and in the last thirty years il was the one
topic that was under everything. Having ac-
comp!ished the destruction OF that Institution
the people have dropped out OF the political
arena and are already brooding an onslaught
at some other part OF our system thai, per-
haps, is not yet recognized as an evil. Our
graadlathers, be 1t remembered, were quite
satisfied with the humanity of slavery. Mead
while the platform makers and orator puffs
have the field, AMI these merely follow one
another up aud down the gamut OF political
dispute in appeal to popular favor.
Our political contests will tor some time
partake OF this auctonecring character OF
higher and higher bids of successive party
leaders on the same subject. Ia England we
sec Dsraei and Gladstone agreeing in the
necessity of reform. Disraeti takes Glad
stones place by adopting his politics and
Gladstone gets it again 10y promising more
than he had ventured upon before, only, per-
n5pS W 10 outohu ny htotoo iu VAC tnsoA0'
We are moving in the same line In this
system there is always the guarantee Of a
certain social progress, since party leaders,
Gazing mainly for place and power stand on
their good behavior before the nation, and,
studying the wishes of the people, endeavor to
secure them, even though they point toward
honesty in Office. In the present agreement OF
all parties on the main points of our foreign
policy, as the recognition Of Cuba, the status
of our citizens abroad and the Alabama
claims, those especially interested may see
that it is the opinion Of the shrewd ones OF
both parties that nobody can go so far in the
assertion of our right on these points as to be
beyond the people, and this may warn those
who would take sides against us on these
points that they would have to oppose the
American people as unit.

Tho Riot In MObiic-Tlo lrreprcssao'<
COadict Agatu.

The serious riot in Mobile, Of which we pub
lished a telegram report yesterday, is but one
of many similar occurrences in the South. 1t
is the natural fruit of radical reconstruction.
The efforts made by Congress to reconstruct
the Southern States in manner to secure the
political power Of that section for the radical
party have failed, but have left terrible leg
acy Of disorder and bloodshed. Setting aside
the native and intelligent white people and
crushing them to the ground, while placing
their late slaves, semi-barbarous and igno-
rant race, in power, could have no other result.
II was the most monstrous political experiment
ever tried. The crazy, dwelling dosmas and
friphtful course of the sons culotte regime of
the first French revolution never exceeded in
folly or recklessness the radical in the South.
Nature, common sense, the experience OF the
world, all protest against the insane attempt
to govern the South through ignorance and
semi -barbarous race, and to make the intelli-
gent majority of our own superior race political
he!ols on their native SOIL What could come
of such monstrous and desperate policy but
cOuAlctS between Suo rdceSs
But such scenes as this one at Mobile might
have been avoided had there been no outside
interference in the local affairs of the Southern
States and had the white people Of that sec
tion.--the former masters Of the negroes-been
permitted to exercise healthy influence over
the ignorant blacks. Even with the ballot in
the hands of the negroes these riots might have
been avoided; for the white Southerners could
not have failed to see that it must he for their
own interest as well as for that Of the blacks to
give their former slaves good advice and to
harmonic with them. But this was not al
lowed. A radical Congress and the radicals
of the North were determined to destroy the
influence Of the Southern whites in their own
Safes, and hence radical carpet baggers poured
into the South and by Misrepresentation and
bad advice arrayed the negroes against their
old masters and best friends. These emissaries
of disorder are the cause Of the riots and other
troubles that af1ct the South. They have in
augurated an irrepressible conflict between the
races, and so long as the intelligent whites are
deprived of political power and these wretched
carpetbag offscourings of the North are per-
mitted to deceive and influence the passions OF
the negroes there will be trouble and blood
shed. But what do these wretches care il they
can accomplish their political objects? In the
| conflict the negroes must go under, and it. un.
fortunately, it should be continued long, they
! will be swept out Of existence. That must be
| the inevitable result. That is what the So
called Northern philanthropists and radica
Jewellers are bringing upon their deluded
| protigSs. The negroes are the victims of I'M
principled carpetbag politicians, and the sooner
they discover the fact The better for themselves
| and the country.

The Fashions,

Our Paris fashions correspondent has dis
covered that the clergy have either set the
present styles or are following those set by the
Partisan eEgantes. ''The abbes have phsse
white loose tunics, lace over violet, lappcts
under the chin, the scarlet waistband and no
ends, no criuoline and buckled shoes" But
few Partisan 6l5gantes, however, are now visi-
BILE at their devotions in the Madeleine, st.
Roch or N6trs Dame. Most Of them are at the
seaside. Princess Clothilde and her small
family are at Villers-sur-M where Prince
Napoleon has chosen a residence. In this con-
nection we may add that Carlotta Patti. ac-
cording to private letter which we have just
seen, sis living like a princess at Boulogne-
surMer, where she has pair Of ponies which
she drives herself, to the admiration of every
body" Carlotta Patti, we may further add,
will leave by the steamer Vile de Paris on the
Goth Of August for New York, where she will
give, with Theodore Ritter, orchestral concerts
under the direction Of Max Strakosch, who 10
now in Paris. The costumes of the Partisan
sea bathers are duly described by our cor
respondent, who dwells particularly upon the
convenience and Oriental beauty Of the pied-
d-terre, which ''has not yet got to Newport"
but might we'll be adopted there and at Long
Branch, Cape May, Coney Island and Nahant.
TIE BRITISH PRESS ON CUBA.-When the
London Morning Star and the Daily Neos
counsel Spain to sell Cuba they only reflect
what public opinion Is coming to throughout
Europe. That Spain cannot continue to hold
Cuba Is the conclusion freely expressed in
every European capital except Madrid, and
even there there is a party that has the
courage to pronounce the war against the
Cubans hopeless one. With so many causes
Of anxiety at their ewn door, with three or
four aspirants for the vacant throne and law
lessness little better than anarchy reigning
everywhere, Serrano aud his Cabinet have
decided to continue the struggle. They are
sowing the wind and will reap tho whirlwin
instead of the twenty million dollars that in
the opinion Of the London Daily Nsws would
prove fair compensation for the loss of the
island. Spain has iadeed acted foolishly in
rejecting every effort made by General
Sickles TO bring about compromise. When
the British press counsels course that practi-
cally means the annexation of Cuba To DUR
republic she may well consider her case
hopeless

against the guilt and misery that arise from
gambling. This, in fact, must have been what
he had in mind when be said that 'horse races
excite evil desires, call forth evil passions,
encourage evil propensities, lead The innocent
iato temptation and give opportunities to the
wicked" In almost the same breath be said. In
alIusion to the meeting OF families at the Dom
caster races, s'ft is not to be disputed that such
an assemblage contributes greatly to the gaye'y
and prosperity Of the town itself and Of the
country round about, and be admitted the good
which arises from such amusemeats, either az
mere amusement (Which is in itself uneqaivo-
cally good, when altogether innocent), or by
circulating money in the neighborhood, or by
tending 70 keep up an excellent breed %
horses for purposes Of direct utility The
severest moralist could not deny that the anil
mated scenes at tho Saratoga races are en-
couraging. Brother Jonathan is manilestly
beginning to learn that ''all work and no play
is not the thing. Healthful outdoor anass-
ments in general, and horse racing in particu-
lar, must now be set down as destiued to
acquire national popularity in America.

GOES COUGH BALSAM!

This long tried and popular Remedy is again
called TO the attention Of the public. As often
the year rolls around, the proprietors annually
make their bow TO the people, and remind them
that among the many things required for the
health, comfort and sustenanee Of the family
through the long and tedious months Of winter,
Goes Cough Balsan should not be forgotten. For
years 1t has been a household medicine-and
mothers anxious for the safety of their children,
and all who suffer from any disease Of the throat,
chest and lungs, cannot afford 70 be without IL.
In addition to the ordinary four-ounoe, so long
in the market, we now furnish our mammoth
family size bottles, which viii, in common with
the other size, be found at all Drug Stores.
