THE post-office Engine.

,fr +. VI. Epacsps, OF Washington city, -
postmaster. and he holds the Office Of secre-
sary to the "Union Republican Consref-
ssoua, Committee Pa position of great ID
nor. reaniriuc the constant attention OF the
man who oils IL.
II e very main that Mr.. EpMusDs was Sc
,ected for the Office because OF hi kho"'e'se
Of the nails and the facility with wnlch nc
could bring ssrc whole Department, inelu-
d,ny postmassers everywhere, to aid In the
nartisan service Of helping on Che cause OF
the GxAxr party.
In other days II was considered great
breach Of eropriety for a prominent Federal u
officer to be engaged fl this service. In MI
nresidential elections the men in power are
put upon trial, and it used to be considered
against ail precedent and outrageously 'mpu-
Gent for the accused to thrust themselves De-
fore the people as witnesses in their own
cases. Had the postmaster at Washington
thirty years since become secretary TO
congressional executive committee 1t woh'o
have raised storm about his head that would
have driven him to his own office. People
would have regarded it az scheme 10 turI
over the post-ofiicc to n party and TO Use ttie
public means against the people, TO whou
they belong.
But these ideas are nearly Obsolete, ano
there is no fastidiousness now that restra'hs
any public officer from entering the arena OF
politics and not only giving bis own ihhl'
ence and talents, but all the power OF his o.
fee along with them, in behalf OF the men
in Office, and of course himself, as he Is one
of them.
Autograph letters Of Mr.. EpMUEps nave
been captured by the editor of the "ashihS
ton Patriot, which show his activity IL
making the best use of the mails Tor party
purposes. One of them, addressed to posi-
masters and others, directly employs the
postmasters in the work of gathering W
names of men opposed to Mr.. GREELEY ano
who would likely cooperate with the LOUIS
willie Convention. These are wanted ut wash
ington for the purpose of engineering the
aStraight-o Out" movement.
.Asthe Washington Patriot says u 10 Slr.
EpxUxps's duty to guard the post-offiee ano
protect the service from abuse. Yet, neg
,ecting his own duties, he is employed as TIT
colleague Of set oil men who are using thu
franks OF members of Congress In violation
of the laws.
The great abuse Of power and official sta
ton has grown by degrees until 1t has reach
ed It's present magnitude. 1t has long wa,
exceeded oil example. Never before in tn
history of the nation has the Post-Office DE
partment been used so thoroughly as part!
machine, and never before has it been uset
In so open and undisguiseda manner.

The Tltusville Press defends the Pipe
Lines 10 long article. and calls upon the
people and the press Of the oil regions to
t'stop this kind of talk" about the short
oomings Of the pipe lines, &C., to which the
people will assent probably because the
Press says 90.
Alter ell the cheating around the bush''
10 the attempt to shield Harley, Abbott,
and the balance ofthe pipe line monopolists
by the Titusville papers, the question as ia
whether said pipe lines have issued certisl
estes with full knowledge that they had
not the suount OF oil 10 their tenks claim
Cd, remains unanswered.
The Press carries the idea that the pipt
lines have right to do ss they please, and
no questions should be asked. For infor-
nation we would like to know II the pipe
llnes are not common carriers, and 40 such
servants Of the people. and have DOT the
people right to question the acts Of theL
servants.

Y A correspondent of the Meadvills Rspub-
can, writing from Foxburg, says 10 regard
ottts pipe line frauds:
This shutting down movement has ju. +
brought to light new fraud practiced
against the producers BY the Pipe Line
Companies which bave now run short many
thousands of barrels, according 10 current
reports. II this be the case, the producer y
certificates Of oil, the amour. of which they
suppose can be drawn at sny time, is of )bnt
little use 10 them In their present critical
position, and they thus God ibemse
compelled to:dght over production, and the
different pipe lines to save what they have
already taken from the earth. 1t the shove

has not IS yet been questioned, It would
appear that they have beeu selling, fraudn.

HUsKING,

The yellow sun Of AUTUMN fall
Across the orchard and che wood;
The still air echoes every call,
The vine lies painted on the wall.
And all the naples drip with blood.
The neighbors come from far and near,
And gather on the broad barn floor,
TO celebrate the ripened year
And strip the husk from off the ear,
That turns to gold the farmers store.
This Ia the merry husking time,
. For old and young, so laugh together;
And voices all seem now to chime,
As If they had been set to rhyme,
On purpose FOE this autumn weather.
The old folks smiIe.and work.aud smile,
To feel their blood so newly stirred;
The younger feed the yellow pile,
Hunting the red ears oil the while,
And blush and kiss without word.
The golden corn that makes this play
A bullion bar is every ear
Twas dropped % seed 10 early May;
And 10 the blazing August day
1t ripened for tie ensuing year.
Twas fun to ride the horse to pillow,
And set the scare.crows in the held;
'Tis better fun to be here now,.
And laugh and chat a. 6nding g how
The corn has brought q generous yield.
Bring In fresh basketsfull of ears,
Aud let them spill about the floor;
Push on ths husking-have no fears
But corn will grow these msoy years,
As corn has always grown before. \
