MR. CRESWELLS oPPOR TJNTTY

Mr.. CRESWELL'S OPPOR TJ1NTTy
Postmaster General Creswell has already |
distinguished the administration Of his de- 1
partment, by energy, skill, and originality. |
1t would seem difficult to add to the prestige |
of a Presidential Administration. by any
ability, however decided and broad, in the
Postal Department, but Mr.. Creswell, in his
prompt termination OF expensive and unne-
eessary contracts, his negotiation of cheap
ocean postsges, his decisive refusal to remain
subject TO the control Of the foreign steam
ship lines, and his earnest advocacy of the
repeal OF the Thanking privilege, has claimed
large share of public attention for his de-
partment, and people are approaching the
fact that its operations are highly interesting
and important
| But, at this time better opportunity than
any Of those suggested above is presented
to Mr.. Creswell, whereby be may perform
| great service in behalf ut the public, and
win new laurels, not only Tor bin,seli, but
| for his department, and the administration
of President Grant. This opportunity lies
in the successful establishment Of the Postal
Telegraph System. We had anticipated,

The Franklng Abuse.

The New York E0eaing Post says:
While the bill to abolish the ranking
abuse still hangs tire in the Senate, il
should be remembered that it Is not
merely TO save the hVe millions def
cheney in the PO5tOftice Department
that this reform is demanded. To the
POstofice Department there might be
next to no actual saving, since there
will necessarily be large annual ap-
preparation for stamps to prepay Off
ciaI correspondence from the different
departments, and, perhaps, for men,
bers of the Senate aRd House.
The real saving looked for is in the
public printing, packing aud pastiug
business, at least one third of which
is now solely on account Of the frank
ing abuse. For instance: last year
lending September l, 1862 the cost of
public printing was 81 100000, one
half of which was for generally use
less documents ordered by Congress,
and one third of it is directly due to
the franking abuse. Out Of S8,5I2, 600
for printing in the past five years,
81, ,000, coo Is estimated to be charge
able to the same abuse.
But this is not all; the House wants
800, coo year, and the Senate S2O, 900
a year, for folding-room expenses, and
il we get rid of the franking abuse we
shall get rid of small army OF pack.
ers and pastors who will stick to the
Treasury SO long as paste supplies are
afforded. The whole matter sums up
money saving and time saving.
Abolish the ranking abuse and
thousands of public documents now
printed will never be printed, and
Congressman will devote themselves
to public business, instead OF spending
their time in making out lists of con-
stituents to whom public documents
are to be sent under real, forged or
stamped franks, or In writing letters
to the same constituents to be sent by
means of the same sort of franks.
