WHAT KILLED When Caleb
Cushing wrote the following recon-
mendation for a friend of his, 10
"Hon Jefferson Davis, President Con
federate States,'' he little thought
that it would come forth some day to
blight his prospects. Those rebel
archives have blighted more than

WASHINGTON, March 90, 1861.
Dear Sir: Mr.. Archibald Roane,
for the'last six or seven years clerk
in the Attorney Generals Office, de-
sires from me a letter of introduction
to you, and he desires it not in view
of anticipating administrative favors,
but that he may have the honor of
your personal intercourse. OF this
l take pleasure in assuring you; he
is eminently Worthy-a Southern
man by birth, family and affection !;
he has carefully studied and ably
discussed in Mr.. DeBoW's ReUieU
and other Southern works the la
mentable events which have been
gradually undermining and have at
length overthroWn the American
Union. Whilst a practical man, he
is also a ripe and accomplished
scholar, with, indeed, predominant
literary taste and habits. In the dis
charge of his official duties he has
combined, in a singular degree, the
purest integrity and most eniighten-
ed intelligence, with a modest con-
tentment in his lot, having moro than
once declined offices of more con-
spicuous employment in the public
service. He now resigns his present
Office from sentiment of devotion to
that which alone he can feel to be
his country, namely, the Confederate
States, from one of which (Texss)
he was appointed. I most heartily
commend him as a gentleman and a
man to your confidence and esteem,
and / am
With the highest consideration,
Your obedient servant,
CALEB CUSHING.
Hon. JEFFERSON DAVIS,
President Confederate States.

For CHEF JUsTIcE.-At last the
the President has chosen a man for
Chief Justice who is worthy to sue
ceed the late lamented Chase, and
the choice could not have fallen up
on one more worthy Of the appoint
ment. The name of Morrison R.
Waite, of Toledo, has been sent to
the Senate, and there is no doubt
but that he will be speedily confirmed
by that body. Thus Ohio again
furnishes the right man for the right
place. From lengthy biographical
sketch of his life in the Toledo Com
mercial, we CLEAN that he is son Of
the late Chief Justice Waite of Con
necticut, one of the leading jurist of
New England. He is in his fifty
eighth year; graduated at Yale Col
lege at the age of twenty-five;
came to Toledo in 1888, studied
law with S. N. Young, now
of Toledo, with whom he practiced
for eighteen years. He has for many
years stood at the head of the bar
of Northwest Ohio, and twice has
declined q seat on the Supreme
Bench of Ohio. In Is49 he was
elected member of the legislature,
serving with distinction. In 1862
he was candidate for Congress, and
though defeated he received q ma
jority of twelve hundred in Toledo.
In December, 1871, he was appoint
ed as counsel to Geneva, which Do
sition he filed with honor. he is
now serving as a member and as the
President of the Ohio Constitutional
Convention, to which he was chosen
by the unanimous vote of both par
ties. The present appointment like
all other public honors, has come to

a LETTER from Denver claims the
population at 10000 and rapidly in
creasing, 100000 acres of govern
ment land were sold the past year.
Railroad building increases rapidly.
In fifteen counties alone there are
nearly 100000 acres of improved
land, valued at 100000, and upon
which are sheep and cattle assessed
at fully $4,5OO,OOO. There was also
a marked increase in taxable values
during the last year, amounting to
$4,5OO,OOO. These facts are set forth
as reasons why Colorado should be
admitted as a State.

in session at Baltimore have, through
a committee, recommended to Con-
gress that no more irredeemable
currency be issued; that steps be
taken to- redeem, retire and cancel
so much of the legal tender as has
been taken from the reserve fund;
to restrict expenditures, and to re-
quire National Banks to hold the
coin they receive as interest on their
bonds until it reaches thirty per cent
of their circulation.

his part, he having discouraged his
personal friends from efforts to Sc
cure the place for him. His neigh
bors feel every assurance that in this,
as in every other trust, be will
abundantly justify the confidence
reposed in him.

CoNeREss.-On Wednesday, the
18th, in the Senate, the Postal Sys-
TEN came up for consideration and a
proposition was made to cut of all
routes which did not pay half their
expenses; proposition afterwards
withdrawn and referred to Commit
tee on Post-oRces and Post-roads.
The consideration of the financial
problem was resumed, and Schurz
made a speech in which he took
grounds in favor of resumption, and
opposed to the reissue of any of the
$44, 100000 reserve. He favored
economy in every department. In
the House the Naval Appropria-
ton bill was taken up. Time was
consumed, but no progress. made.
On the 18th, in the Senate, Post
routes came up for consideration
again, and again the question of dis
continuing routes which only paid a
percetage of expenses, was proposed.
The Morrills Of Vermont and Name
favored the proposition. Ramsey
said that there we're but six or seven
States which paid expenses, and the
States of Vermont and Maine were
not of the number. Hamlin thought
new routes should not be established
until such service was necessary.
Morton reviewed Schurz's speech on
the financial situation and opposed
retrenchment. Howe offered bill
to provide for redemption and re-
move restrictions from banks Of is
sue. In the House, after severl un-
important matters, the Naval Ap-
propriation bill was taken up in com
mittee. The amendment to punish
for making expenses not provided
for was discussed and an attempt
made to amend it. Both failed,
when committee rose, reported bill
to the House, and it passed.
On the 10th, in the Senate, after
discussing the Post-route question
Senator Sherman delivered a speech
on the Finance question. He IA
vored resumption, and desired to
the 5-20s into some kind of
a gold bond, redeemaBle at the pleas
ure of the holder-a very nice theory,
but a very uncertain practice, as evil
denced by the fact that if the gov
ernment could redeem in gold there
would be no aeed of the gold bond.
The House did nothing ofnote. The
Senate adjourned till Monday, and
the House employed Saturday in de-
bate.
On the 18th, in the Senate, after
the presentation OF bills and petit
lions, the discussion Of the financial
situation was resumed. Senator's
Wright and Logan arguing against
at the present time. In
The House bills were introduced to
amend the National Banking law

proper security; to give bounties to
soldiers who had enlisted for nine
months or three years without boun

office of delivery in the large cities.
II the law is construed to declare
that mail mater has not reached its
destination in large cities until it
reaches the residence or place Of busi-
ness ofhe receirer, the same con-
struotiou must apply in the country,
or smaller cities, or the law does not
recognize equal rights on the part of
receivers /; but from the fact that
the office of delivery is recognized
as the destination of mail matter, in
nineteen -twentieths of our terrific
rial extent, it seems but reasonable
that that should be regarded as the
recognized construction of the law.
How then shall the department obey
the law and continue free delivery
in the cities, when that law forbids
the carriage OF any free mail matter ?
Justly, we do not think it can.
Laws, to be just, must be univer-
sal in their application, so far as
the limits of the government by
which they are enacted extends. The
Department has made a close and
rigid application of this law to news
papers throughout all our domain,
now let it make an equally close
and general application of the same
provision to all that it will cover,
even to the abolition of the free de-
livery system in the larger cities !;
or else recognize the provision of
free delivery as applying generally,
and permit the people every where
to enjoy its advantages. Lay the
axe at the root of the tree.
