As might be expected from the character of
the new Mayor of Chicago, the message of Mr..
Medill, upon taking the oath Of Office, is emf
nently sensible and practical, judging from
the brief epitOme which we have by telegraph.
Retrenchment in salaries is wisdom in the best
of times, and is especially necessary In city
which has just suffered great calamity. One
of the lessons of the Chicago fire was the dan
ger of crowding structures of inaammable ma
terial inside the city limits. "NOt another
"wooden building" is the watchwOrd of Mayor
Medill. The suggestions are wisely made; and
the financial situation, according to the Mayor,
is cheerful, after all.

THE POST-OFFICE.

Mr.. Crcswelis report is long and in large
measure statistical, but IL is interesting. The
Post Office Department is about as far as ever
from paying its own expenses; but the service
has been greatly extended and improved
and new features are to DO introduced
which will still further increase it's con-
venence to the public. The system OF
railway post-offices, and tho sorting and
distribution of mails in transit which has
been for some time in operation On few
principal routes. will soon be established all
along from New Brunswick to San Francisco,
and from the Bay of Fundy to the Gulf OF
Mexico. How enormous are the distances
which our mail service has to cover
may be Judged from the fact that
these two trunk lines Of railway Of
fees alone are respectively 1889 and
s,10s miles in length, while one Of our foreign
routes (that from New-York to RiO) is $500
miles long, and another (San Francisco to
China and Japan 1000 miles. Mr.. Creswell
gives excellent reasons why the Brazil and China
services should be made seni-monthly instead
of monthly. He recommends the encourage
mont of American steamship lines by offering
their projectors "a reasonable compensation
)" for conveying the mails in excess OF the
"postage receipts" But it will be observed
that tho postage receipts earned by all tue six
English and German lines which carried the
mails from the United States to Great Britain
in 1871 amounted to only e174,1SS-an average
of about $500 q trip.
OF Mr.. Crcswells scheme for placing the
tclegrapls under Government control we have
spoken elsewhere. 1t is mischievOus plan,
which we believe the good sense OF the coun-
try will reject. Returns are cited of the great
increase in the number Of messages trans
mitted over British wires since they were
united with the Post Office department; but
the increase results from the reduction in TOLLS
and not from the change of management. Mr.
Creswell could increase the consumption OF
bread if no would buy up all the bakeries and
sell lOavcs at half price.

THE HOUSE COMMITTEES.

Speaker Blaine was confronted by dif1cult
and invidious task in the assignment OF his
fellow members to tho respective Standing
Committees of the House, and he has per-
formed it with Judgment and tact. OF course,
every one could not be placed as he wished
to be-indeed, few, we presume, were en-
tirely suited in the arrangement we herewith
announce; for Mr.. Dawes, who is Chair
man of Ways and Means, is under
stood to have preferred bis old place at the
head of the Committee on Appropriations, where
he did such excellent service in the last
House. Wo do not know another man who
would he 80 generally acceptable as Mr.. Dawes
in his new post; but, unless We are misin-
formed with regard to Mr.. Burchard's views,
the Ways and Means Committee is no longer
Protectionist, rs we think it ought to be. Mr..
B. stands about midway between P(QtSction
and Free Trade; but that, we understand, is
where the House chooses for the present to
stand; 80 the selection may be fair one.
Gen. Garfield is made Chairman of Appro-
priations. and will prove good one. He has
to choose between pleasing the taxpayers and
obliging the tax-oonsumcrs; but MIR. Dawes
has set him 90 admirable 4 pattern and been
90 firmly upheld in his upright course by the
country that no can hardly 60 wrong il he
would, and we think he would not IL he
could. INFRINGEMENT wherever possible, but
especially in the expenditures in and about
tho Capitol itself, Is the work plainly de-
manded Of Gen. Garfield and his Committee:
we hope to say at the close Of the scssion
that Gen. G. has proved worthy sue
ceesor of Mr.. Dawes.
Our State has two important Chalrmanships !:
Nh. Wheeler retaining that Of Pacific Railroads,
while Gen. Ketcham IL advanced to that Of

THE NAVY.

Mr.. Robson repeats tho stereotypcd demand,
of Secretaries of the Navy for an increase Of
our naval force, but he makes suggestion
for the gradual reduction Of the number OF
officers, partly by adding two years to tho
term Of study at Annapolis, and partly by al.
lowing the grades Of Admiral, Vice-Admral.
present incumbents. Tins he calculates
we shall save about $4,000 q year
and dispense with nearly 800 unnecessary off,
GERS. Of the present condition Of the Navv he
says very little. We have 10 ships. OF these
80 are sailing vessels, 81 are monitors, II are
under repair, 10 have never been launched,
and several of them never will be. The list
includes every sort OF craft, down to dispatch
boats, receiving ships, floating hospitals. and
80 on, and embraces very large proportion
of wooden vessels which are actually not worth
putting in repair. We have 50 vessels in
service (including all sorts), and these are
armed with Col guns; six others arc fitting out
and nearly ready for sea. The offensive
strength of the Navy at the present moment
10 represented by the five squadrons in com.
mission, comprising in the aggregate 40 vessels
and AS guns. No information is given in the re-
pOkJ tS 10 CN0 luCoTudi clLCHuCJ VI tnC oCi 'iScs
though it is we'll known that tho Navy has
been distracted by intestine disputes. Mr..
Robson acknowledges the failure Of the CO.
rean expedition, but believes that it has
" contributed materially in its effects to
" tho consideration and comfort, and per-
" haps to the safety, of our citizens
located thero"-a pleasing and sanguine
assurance which it would be cruel to disturb.
He regards both tho surveys for ON inter-
oceanic canal with satisfaction, but gives No
decided preference to either the Tehuantepeo
OF the Darien route. Both arc practicable.
and the choice between them must bc gov
erned chiefly by considerations of expense.

The French people have new cause for COM
plant in the declaration Of state of siege in
all the provinces still occupied by the armed
forces of Germany. But they have only them
selves to thank for this new grief, as it has
been made necessary by the frequent muir
derOus assaults on German troops by French
citizens. 1t would be unfair to hold the whole
nation accountable for the state of things in
the interior Of France; but 1t must be con-
fesscd that the brutalities committed by the
common people are only the legitimate express
sion of the national hatred.
