SINCE the Court House Ring was broken
up we notice every once in while some
poor pet bowling through their favorite or
gan, the Democrat Last week we had
another specimen in a communication in
that paper. The writer evidently must
have been pet of the Ring clerk, and in
his delirium imagines that somebody has
an interest in running the Treasurer's
Office. We would advise Mr.. McEliece to
hunt up the correspondent, for if he did
not steal from him he will make an excel
lent witness. provided he is willing to tell
the truth. Judging, however, from his
assertion that the blank registry books had
been ordered from us by the clerk, we are
inclined to think he exaggerates, for we
know that no orders have been given for
the printing of them by anybody, and that
none are yet being printed.

days since, by the distinguished gentleman from
Massachusetts, Mr.. Dawes, to the increase in
the gross expenditures of the post-office from
1887 to the present time, but he omitted TO give
us, along with his general statement of the ex-
penses, any information in relation to the in
creased receipts of the Department during the
same period, and, what WAS far more important,
in my opinion, he failed to make any reference
to the wonderful development of the country
which has so largely and imperatively demanded
corresponding increase in our postal accOmmo-
datOns and facilities.
ut the commencement of the period he has
seen proper to select we had population of less
than S15, 900 200, who were accommodated with
about II 900 post-ollices, supplied by 125,000

recognized as railroad service. At the end of
the second period US55) our population did not
exceed 27 ,0J0, ,000, and We had but "a, 40 post
offices, employing about 22S, 900 miles of post

post offices, with 256, ,2l0 miles of pOst-routes,
63, ,457 miles of which were upon the railroads of
the country.
With post-ofiices more than treble in number,
with a population much more than double, with
postal service twice and thrice Il day in place Of
twice as long as they were thirty-scven years
ago, ii is not surprising that there should be the
increase spoken of in the amount of the eXpendi-
lures of the Department.

established by the United Colonies on the 10Th
of July, 1913, when Benjamin Franklin was

it would but serve 20 prove the still more aston

That the question Of the postal revenues and
expenditures may be more fully understood, |
also ask attention to a statement made from the
records of :he Department, showing the number
of post-offices and length of post-roads in the
United States, the annual amount paid for mail
transportation, and the amounts Of postal revc-
nues and expenditures, at periods of five years,
from 1890 to 1910. inclusive, and in each year
from 1910 to 1878, inclusive, with the length of

of railway post-oflce lines, and the cost of the
railroad portion of the transportation, from the
date of the commencement thereof.

THE postal bill reported by Mr.. Packer,
chairman of the committee, was lost by
majority of two votes, but came up for re-
consideration on Thursday, and will no
doubt be passed. The defeat OF the bill
was caused by the tactics Of Gen. Butler,
who is in favor of restoring the old frank
ing privilege without any restrictions.
Mr.. Packers bill permits the free circu-
lation in the mails of newspapers published
in the county, and also allows the free dis
tribution of certain documents, which is a
boon claimed by the South, where few pa
pers are published. Mr.. Packers bill
guards against the abuses practiced under
the old system, and will no doubt unite
a majority in its favor.
