THE POST OFFICE

aHEeE seems to be some misunderstanding
in reference to the removals of employees now
being made at the Post Office. Postmaster
Bingham recommended some months ago to
tho Postmaster-G General a plan by which
more expedition could be secured in the
delivery of mail matter throughout the
city, and recommended the consolidation
of the five large city sub-post offices with
the central office, and the transportation
of the carriers, either by street cars or
wagons, to their several routes. This plan
has been approved by the Postmaster-General,
aud will go into effect during the present
month. Embraced in the plan submitted,
was the statement that the services of some
fifteen clerks would be rendered unnecessary,

The public attention is still absorbed In the
course of the gold market, and much alarm is
felt as to the probable result of the excitement
which has prevailed for the last two weeks or
more. The rejection of that clause of the
Funding bill providing for The establishment of
foreign agencies for the payment of interest on
the new bonds gives general satisfaction, but it
will add to the difficulty of its final passage,
and no doubt also interfere with the success of
the scheme, If 1t should chance to receive the
assent of Congress- There is tendency in the
gold market to reaction, which cannot be very
agreeable to the vision Of those who are trol-
bled with resumption on the brain"
In the loan market there is an utter lack of
feature. Money is abundant and rates easy.
Gold opened at 1l3, advanced to 1875, and
fiuctuated up to noon between those figures and
1l2$s. The market is excited, and q good deal

A DESPATCH from Washington announces
that the Secretary of the Treasury has autho-
rized the transportation of dutiable mer-
chandise, in bond, by the Union Railroad
and Transportation Company, between the
cities of New York, Philadelphia Baltimore,
Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Louisville,
Chicago, st. Louis, and Keokuk. This is an
important step in the right direction, but it
should be followed up by the grant Of autho-
rity to transport imported merchandise
between New York and Philadelphia, and the
other cities named, in bond, Immediately
after their arrival in the United States, and
before the duties are ascertained. Under
such system the custom house business of
the country would be transacted at the ports
where the goods are actually needed and
the injurious results of the artificial concen-
tration at New York would be avoided I'm
porters would net be unwillingly compelled, as
they are at present, to dance attendance upon
the officials of that sink of iniquity, the New
York Custom House The work of examining
and appraising goods by being distributed
among number of offices, would be honestly
done, and the Government would no longer
be defrauded, as it is now, out of very large
proportion of its gold revenue. 1t is matter
of astonishment that the Senators and Repre-
sentatives of the secondary ports have so long
permitted New York to aggrandize herself at
the expense of their constituents. 1t requires
but asmall degree of wisdom and effort on their
part toprick the bubble of the pretentious great
ness Of the metropolis 80 far as it is founded
on importing interests, and to restore to
every large city its just share of foreign COM
merce. Now that the Secretary of the Trea.
sury has provided safe means for the inter
nal transportation of foreign goods, Congress
has only to enact that such transportation
may be made before the goods are submitted
to the examination of the corrupt officials OF
the New York Custom House.

The CoMsf1TTEE appointed, amid great
flourish of trumpets, TO investigate the oir-
cumstances connected with the passage and
veto of the Metropolitan Police bill, yester-
day confessed in the House that-i had not
succeeded in getting quorum to attend its
sessions, and never would succeed, and it
was accordingly discharged on account of its
confessed inoompetency to transact the bust
ness with which it had been entrusted. This
lame and impotent conclusion is not unex-
pected, but the result is none the less dis
graceful to all concerned Each side is evil
IDENTIFY afraid to let the people know the
whole truth, and they have smothered the
investigation because, if it had been vigor-
ously conducted, their constituents would
have learned too much of Harrisburg ras-
cality.

The HOUSE COMMITTEES on Military Affairs
has been instructed to inquire into the expe-
diency of taking the appointment of cadets
out of the hands of members of Congress,
and making it competitive. We hope it will
be able to systematic this reform. Only
youths who are peculiarly well fitted for mill
tary service should be sent to West Point.
That institution would have been rendered
practically useless long ago if it had under
taken to educate all the weak sprigs OF hu-
manity that Congressmen have attempted
to quarter upon it. The only thing
that has saved it has been the severity of the
mental and physical tests applied to the
cadets, which have fortunately driven away
large number of incapable Congressional
appointees. But for this safeguard the nation

THE ONEIDA DISASTER.

The latest information that has been received
with regard to the sinking of the United
States steamer Oneida by the British steamer
Bombay, under the command of Captain
Arthur Wellesley Eyre, only tends to confirm
the first opinion that was formed with regard
TO the conduct of that officer. The testimony
of Captain Eyre before the court of inquiry
at Yokohama gives an unequivocal denial to
all the charges brought against him. He
swears positively that he neither saw nor
heard signals from the Oneida, and that he
had reason to believe from the effect of the
collision on his own ship that only slight
damage was done. But the man who would
run down a ship and leave her to sink
with all on board without stopping to offer
assistance would not hesitate to lie
about it, and there is evidence to prove that
Captain Eyre did lie. The signal guns of the
Oneida were heard distinctly in Yokohama,
and an officer of the British navy who went
on board of the Bombay Immediately after
her arrival at Yokohama testifies that Captain
Eyre said to him, "I hare tonight cut the
aohoIe quarter off a id Yankee fatgato, and
+ I sereed her bloody soeH right, for I met her
as came up running ont aoih her helm,
G-StaTboaTd," and the steward of the Bombay
stated Immediately after the arrival of the
ship that the Oneida had been run into, and
a hole cut in her to the waters edge, SO that
he could see the men carrying some person
ON deck, and that she must have soon gone
down.
1t appears from all the evidence brought
forward that the Bombay had the right of
way, and that the officer in charge of the
Oneida's deck was Immediately to blame for
the collision. This, however, is no excuse
whatever for the conduct of the British Gap
tain, who undoubtedly ran away from the
wreck in the expectation that he would escape
Identification in the darkness, even if any of
his victims should survive to relate the dis
aster. 1t was a cold-blooded piece of bru-
tality that admits of no extenuation whatever,
and it is gratifying to believe that the force
of public opinion will probably compel the
British authorities at Yokohama to punish
the offender, even if they should feel disposed
to shield him. ..

THE HON. JAMES L. ALC0RN, who was yesterday
inauRurated Governor of Mississippi under the new
Teoine was born in Illinois In the year t9lI when It
was still a Territory. His parents, who were orig-
nally from South Carolina. removed from Illinois 60
Kentucky when he was quite young, and some years
later he agaiI changed his abode emlgrating to
Mississippi In which State he has
continued to reside. Previous TO the
war, he was a successful practitioner at the bar,
and being popular speaker and well TO do in the
world figured somewhat I'm public affairs, his polit
cal affiiiations being with the old Wing party
During the Rebellion he served in the Rebel
army but at its close accepted the situation"
like General Longstreet and Others and
has ever since acted with the Republicans, his for
mer connection with the Wing party naturally lead
Ing him into antagonism with the Democratic party
At the election held In November 1909, he was the
radical candidate for Governor against Judge Louis
Dent, a brother-in-aw Of President Grant, who was
at the head of the conservative ticket The total
number OF voters registered for the election was
1767 792, OF whom 1O0,6S2 were col0red and 6,1l0
white. Governor AlcOrn received 70, i3 votes, and
his competitor only 3S 1888. Soon after the result OF
the election was known, he was requested by Gene
raj Ames, the Military Commander Of the State, to
assume the Provisional Goyernorship, but he de-
cned doing this in a letter which proclaimed his
opposition to military rule, and his earnest desire to
see the State restored to the control OF her own c
zens and her nominal place In the Union. Governor
Aleorn has been elected by the Legislature OF Mis-
ssipp to seat in the United States Senate for the
full term OF six years, commencing March T. 1871 on
which day he wllsucceed Reyes the present coiored
Senator.

that if ne could not find them in the

BESIDES the regular universal
suffrage" candidate, we have nov in
the field a regular Radical candidate
in the person of HENRY J. LYNN.
Neither of them have been formally
nominated, but both profess to be in
dependent, and, we suppose, both
peoples candidates. Both will charge
Mr.. JOHNSON with being nominated
by a ''ring." But the ''ring" con-
sisted of forty-ive gentlemen, elected
as fairly as we have ever seen the
same thing done by regular ward
meetings, and these delegates repre-
Senting not less than four thousand
voters, who now ratify the nOmina-
ton the Convention made. We sup
pose the reason WALKER was not
nominated was that his negro suffrage
friends were too few to come together
for any public demonstration without
being subjected to ridicule for their
Paucity of numbers. Both, however,
hope to draw off a few Democrats.
And so, for the same reason, itmay be,
neither LYNN nor WALKER brought
together their ''cOlored" cohorts. Be
sides, they would have no thunder
about unfairness Of nomination, if
they should get up any nominating
meetings, and could not have the
glory of peoples candidates and
other clap-trap so well. Does any
man in town believe that either
WALKER or LYNN would have re-
fused to run as the nominee of the
Democratic Convention, if the nOmi-
nation had been rendered to either
one of them, instead of Mr.. JOHNSON?
