RISK OF SENDING LETTERS By MAIL =
ARREST Of post Office clerk-he con-
fe,ses his guilt" Such is the pleasant
announcement to people who are con-
staItly entrusting to the mails their
private correspondence and letters con-
taining money or drafts. But it is no.
thing new; and what is worse is, that it
is not infrcquent. Every littlo while,
there is fresh discovery of somo depre-
dation by O clerk in post Office; some.
times here in New York and sometimes
elsewhere, for they are scattered all over
the country. The breaking open Of
letters and examining their contents,
and stealing them if they arc of any
vnlne, has come to be regarded as O
trivial cuence. In most cases, "inEu-
cnce. rs it is callcd-that is the inter.
ccssion Of some politician-saycs the
culpr!t from that saiutary severity of
punishment which the law provides for
this oGonce. The derclict clerk is either
bailed or permitted to escape, or, if
convicted, he is speedily pardoned out.
This is oil wrong. Any position in q
post Office is one Of great trust. More
care should be exercised in appointing
clerks, and when they are found guilty
Of criminal betrayal Of tho trust re-
posed i'll them, the severity OF the law
should be Invariably inflicted, without
regard to political influences. We be.
lieye the mails were never before so IN.
safe as they arc at present. Loose
ideas pcrvade the administration of the
Government generally, and they extend
into the minutcst rami6cntions. Petty
clerks rob hundreds in imitation OF
Cabinet officers, who, to cay the least of
1T, wink ut the misappropriation OF
thousands and of millions. Whoever
sends valuable letter by mail now does
1t with the knowledge thnt ho incurs no
inconslderable risk of losing its con-
ents.-New York Sun.

w"rse, or Better:

w0rse, or Better.
Conservatism and Radicalism, in the
rural order OF things. correspond, re-
spectiyely, to the centripetul and centri.
fugal forces in the planetary system.
Our ongoing is the compromise Of their
conflict; but whittier tends it? Readers
OF Gibbons Decline and Fall OF the Ro-
man Empire, or of Leckcy's History Of
Morals, are naturally deeply impressed
with the depravity OF ancient times. But
do our own times, as reflected in the
daily Journals, appear in pleasing con-
trast? Suicides, murders, deiaultings,
matrimonial infidelities, not to speak of
innumerable minor cases of violence
and improbity, crowd the columns of
the morning papers. The morbid appe-
tite which demands every day fresh
tale Of horror, is of itself sufficient
proof Of the low moral tone which per-
vades great part of modern society. If
we turn to the business world, we find
that, though it is theoretically admitted
that honesty is the best policy. men for
the most part are unwilling to test its
practical value. Tt ie-a provcrb that
there are tricks in all trades, and every
shop-keeper hos word of censure for
his ncighbor. Not even a patent medi-
cine is recommended without warning
against counterfeits. In politics, the
constant and mutual abuse Of rival par
ties argues common insinccrity and
unfairness. The prevailing practice is
based on the. principle, measures, not
men," and SO tho guardianship of virtue
is committed to the care OF the vicious.
Despotism gives place to licentiousness,
and tho arrogance of the aristocracy
yields to the brutality OF the mob.
The mighty machineries of our power
react and oppress US, as for instance,
our great railroad corporations. If we
..ccccaa to science for relief, we find re-
spectacle Sdpdnts with q numerous fol-
lowing, who teach that man is only
highly developed beast; and some who
declare that our ultimate destiny is only
dust and ashes. Both pictures are
clothed in hues OF darkness and terror;
but, nevertheless, there is reason to be-
lieve that the earth moves, and moves
towards the better. For one thing, in
ternational comfy is almost purely
modern conception. The nations Of
the ancient world regarded each other
as natural enemies; q shipwrecked TO-.
reigner was legitimate prey; prisoners
of war were only spared to be used as
slaves; the balance of power was un-
heard of-Rome or Carthage, one or the
other, must be destroyed. Trade,
again, which, as we have said, is full of
knavery. is an unconscious promoter Of
civilization, international harmony and
the propagation of liberal ideas. The
demonstrated inability of all forms Of
government to secure communities
against their own wickedness gradually
convinces mankind that its hope is in
individual culture and elevation, and go
directs it to the true reform.
