Postal Matters.

1t is matter of public interest that men
in official position should be uniformly
polite and courteous. They are the ser
wants, not the masters Of the people, This
is general rule; but especially is it in
cumbent on gentlemen to be courteous to
ladies. The experience in this respect of
one of the most accomplished and refined
ladies in Louisiana is supplied in the sub
joined statement of
MRS. D. T. RILEY:
Was first appointed postmistress of
Bayou Sara, upon the recommendation of
Generals McCleery and Banks and Sena-
tors Harris and Kellogg; recommended for
the position last April; received my COM
mission last June; have held the office ever
since until the first of this month. when
James Stephens, clerk in &. L. Weber's
store, was appointed in my place. l
met Mr.. Wilcox on my visit to the
city, who asked me if l knew
why / had been removed from the
position of postmistress of Bayou Sara.
answered that l did not know, upon which
he told me that Mr.. Packard had said that
it was because had tempered with docu-
ments that passed through the Office. then
asked him if he would introduce me to Colo
mel Lowell. lie replied that had better
not go near Mr.. Lowell, but gave me no rea-
sons. On my introduction into Mr.. Lowell's
Office | found him seated, and having his
boots BACKED by colored man.
After Waiting about half an hour, during
which time Mr.. Lowell was sitting, hat on,
and discussing private matters with the
clerks, also the price of shells, ETC.. ad-
vanced to Mr.. Lowell and asked if could
claim a moment of his attention. He pulled
his hat down over his eyes between me and
himself, and threw himself back to listen.
told him l had been removed from my posi-
ton in Bayou Sara, and l had been in
formed that it was because had tempered
with mail matters, ETC.. and that wished
for the authority for such charges. He said,
yawningly: eyes, madam, you have been re-
moved, but have heard Of no such accusa-
tiOn." After some hesitation, he said: "Well,
madam, the fact is you have been running
the concern up there in behalf of War
moth" During my interview was treated
in the most abrupt and ungentlemanly man
ner, Mr.. Lowell yawning, and appearing
impatient for my departure. He told me I
refused to introduce me to him: said it was
not necessary for him to go, but that Icould
go and introduce myself. / never was so
roughly treated or in so ungentlemanly q
manner in my life. next called upon Mr..
Packard, who treated me in a civil manner.
gave me about the same answer relative to
nay removal, and said that l had better let
the matter rest for the present, and until
after the election, and that after that time
l could get the Office back without anv
trouble, and could, probably, hold the Of
flee four or five years. He hoped | would
subSist during the summer, etc.

sentation of Republican principles! To
gether with yourself are Charles Sumner
and Reuben E. FentOn, standing separated

both sides are truly representing the same
principles, or are there to be placed before
the people two tickets from the Republican
party! Many things in the present admin

Sir, the young men in this country are

national drama in order to secure good gov
eminent. Upon which side of this political
chasm are they to stand9 should like to
read before our ASSOCIATION your views and
suggestions, which, if you are pleased to
give, will shape the course of many.
Hoping that we may be honored with your
opinions in reference to "us,"
|. Yours, G. w. r.
Buffalo, April -, 1879.
RESPONSE BY THE TRIBUNE. -
Dear sir, your questions are pertinent and
timely. We shall endeayor to answer then
frankly and lucidly.
Political parties are not devised by poll
ticians; they grow out Of diverse conyic-
tons on grave public questions. Ours BE-
gan with our proper national life under the
federal constitution, and related essentially
to the rightful construction of that instru-
ment. Those who had resisted its adoption
naturally sought to have it construed
strictly, rigidly, while those who had
framed and ratified it as naturally gave it
more liberal Interpretation. The former
would have made it the treaty of a league;
the latter regarded it as charter of gov
eminent, rendering us no longer mere
confederacy, but nation. Yet, when those
who while out of power, were literal, vigor-
Gus constructionists, at length came into
power, they broke their own rule, and, un-
der the plea of necessity, exercised power
for which they found no warrant in the
constitution. And this was by no means
the last instance in which a party tri-
umphed on an avowal of principle and pro-
ceededsto act in palpable defiance thereof.
The Republican party was formed in
1S54.5 by a fusion of Wings, Democrats and
original AbOlitiOnists into one organization,
which had for its main object the exclusion
OF slavery from territory which had, up TO
that hour, been free soil The immediate
impulse to this movement was formidable
and ultimately successful attempt to legal
ize or tolerate slavery throughout the vast
Wild regions westward of Missouri. ana
Iowa now known as Kansas and Nebraska;
which region, by the act which admitted
Missouri to the Union as a slave State, was
guaranteed to free labor. As the eontes'

1t appears by the Portland Press that when
Mr. Greeley returned to Portland from his
electioneerlng visit to this city, that there
was no provision made to convey him to the
Falmouth House where he had engaged rooms
and he sat down upon some freight boxes and
read newspaper by gaslight until some on,
could be dispatched for coach.
Is not this a sad winding up of day wher
such "marvellous enthusiasm" was manifested
toward him? Only think oft, Horace Greeley
candidate of the Democratic Party for the
Presidency quietly reading paper in a pub
lie depot, and no one to disturb or interrupt
him in the city of Portland Marvellous en-
thusiasm" really. Poor Horace must while
thus neglected, have exclaimed, in view OF
Presidential aspirations,
