The Up COUNTRY MAlLs.--Mr. Belcher,
Post Master at Port Byron, has lengthy
communication in this mornings Union in
regard to the vexatious mail delays between
this city and Cordoya. Having received
many complaints in regard to the non're'
ceipt Of our paper at Cordova, we requested
Mr.. Osborn to drop the post master at that
| place a line on the subject. This he did
with his usual courtesy. An investigation
has resulted, but has done no good that we
can see, except to demonstrate what we have
been stating for weeks and months past
| that our mail facilities have been miserably
managed between this city and Cordova,
and demand the early attention Of the Post
Office Department. Mr.. Belcher's statement
on the authority of Mr.. Osborn, that the
WEEKLY ARGUS of July Odd dated the l4th,
was not in the office at this city in time tC
be mailed on that day, is a mistake. The
WEEKLY ARGUS has never missed mai
since the l4th of February, this spring, tc
our certain knowledge. Mr. Osborn states
that our daily edition missed the mail OF
July 23d, and thinks that is what he told
Mr.. Belcher. The statement that the Cor
dova post office is not managed in prope'
manner, we gave on the strength of severa
statements to that effect from citizens o
that town. In commenting on the bung
ling, laundering, nonsenscal mode of hand
ling mails on this route, rendered perhap
imperative by existing regulations, Mr.
Beleher profoundly says:
Ny opinion is that this state Of thing
will exist just as they are until some gooc
and sufficient reason is given to the depart
ment at Washington to make change.
With the present outrageous condition Q
postal affairs before him, how long will i
take to forward "some good and sutticien
reason to the department at Washington

FINANCIAL STANDING OF THE ROCK

For six months past the Argus has been

eiated Press. The other paper for reasons
best known to its managers, has been un'
able to keep up in this respect. Despairug
Of ever getting u considerable amount of ar
rcarages from it, the Associated Press has
recently made an attempt to force the ARGUS
to help pay tie debts Of the Union. We
have publicly exposed this outrage, and hay
ing the documents flied away to prove our
assertions, if necessary, that sheet has not
the temerity to deny them. We have re
fused to submit to any such al unheard o
! proceeding, and cannot be dra9ooned into
it. This comparison Of the financial condi
ton OF the two papers should not be los
upon the public. The ARGUS will Away

THE ENGINE QUESTION.

a meeting Of the Western Engine Com
pany is to be- held this evening, and it 10 re-
ported that the question of receiving the
new steam FIRE engine is TO be brought up
and voted on. This engine was uniortun-
ately named AVN. EGGLEsTOS' instead Of
"CAPr. l.. NJ. HAvERsTICR," a heroic mem
Der of our fire department, and hence quite
little tempest in tea pc; has been ex'
cited.
Ever since the ARGUS published the fact
that such an engine had been purchased
and so named in honor of one of our heavy
property holders who has perhaps done as
much for cur city as any other man in it,
the Union has persistenty endeavored to
excite discon,ent among our fremen. In
fact, q prominent member Of the Depart.
ment told us few days ago that no
body would have thought Of making
any objections, had it not been for
the Unions pertinacious agitation. What
does the whole thing amount TO that such q
Juror should be kicked up about it? The
engine is splendid one, and will be alike
an honor to the city that has purchased it,
and the company that runs it. Could any
name short of "HAyRRsTIcK" be put upon
it to countersct its merits? We have never
said a word to Mr.. ERgleston on the subject
but have no reason to believe that he cares
| one straw what the engine ia called. II II
| is named for him, he will doubtless fee
grateful for the compliment. lfit is named
"HAyERsrIcE," he will probably survive the
inhietion, il the engine can. Our fremer
are hardly the men to be made tools Of BY
an establishment Boosting so light a calibrt
as the Rim. That paper has made this on
slaught on Mr.. Eggleston solely from de
sire for private revenge of the most infnit
esimal kind. A personal feud is the origin
OF the whole thing We are reliably in
formed that the publisher Of the UHioI
once sent an advertising bill to Mr.. Eggles
ton, which that gentleman believed to b
outrageous, and took exceptions to. Som
illfceling ensued on the part of the publish
er of that paper, who declared that he woul
eventually "get even with him" He isno
trying to get even with him, and is tryin
to use the fremen Of Rock Island to heI
him do it. What contemplate source fC
public question to spring from? An
get how worthy Of its propagation.
