MAIL CONTRACTS.

By the Eureka Sentinel, of July I'd,
We learn that the mail arrangements be-
tween this place and Palisade are greatly
altered. Instead of daily mail put
through with all reasonable speed, in
future the mail is to be carried, accord
ing to the Sentinel, in "a rickety, two
horse, 'jerk.water concern-indicates
the terms of the contrsct-a tri-weetly
and will, perhaps. be able to make the
down trip one week and try to get back
the next" We also learn that the con-
tract for this service. such as it is, has
been taken for 81. 400 per annum, sum
that might possibly pay for horseshoe
ing, but certainly not for more. The
amount of the so.called remuneration
shows at once that there is cat Of the
largest dimension in that meal-bag. This
will in time be eliminated and then the
public will know something of the why's
and wherefores of this extraordinary
contract. In the mean time the effect is
that the people of Eastern Nevada are to
be caused the loss and inconvenience of a
mail service that is detained from one to
two days longer than is necessary on the
route. To remedy this evil, the Senti'
mel advises immediate action on the part
of the communities affected by the
change, course that We heartily second.
The business men of Phoebe, Hamilton
and Eureka should at once stir them
selves in the matter. Care, however,
should be taken that whatever proceed.
ings are had, that they should not re-
dound to the benefit Of the men who
have caused this inconvenience. Steps
ought also to be taken toward making
proper statement of the matter to Con-
gress next December, asking that an in
vestigation be had into the letting OF
this extraordinary contract at price,
which of itself, surely indicates there is
something more beneath the surface, if
it ever can be got at. May be it is like
that granite contract of Mulett 's-less

Neither of those conditions exist in your
case; you are not publishing paper

The STRIKE At LANGLEY. The
strikers at Langley factory returned to
work Monday afternoon, and every
thing is now proceeding as usual. The
stride, it will be recollectcd, was caused
by the company's charging rent for

instead Of reducing the wages of the
operatives, as has been done almost
universally in the North and East, the
reduction generally being from ten to
twenty per cent, and the hands sub.
mitted sooner than have the mill shut

The CITY registrar OF Charleston fur.
nishes the latest evidence of the de.
cadence of the rane for which Congress
would jaopardize the liberties of the
white people and the peace of the
country. He shows that the rate OF
mortality among the colored popula.
tion is twice as great as among the
white inhabitants. The number OF
deaths in that city from May l. 1873,
to May l, 1874, was 1855. The popu-
lation OF Charleston is some 50, 600, OF
whom about 81. 900 are whites and &C..
Coo arc blacks. The deaths among
the whites were 4S5 in number, and
among the blacks 1,07O. This gives
q mortality rate Of little over two per
cent. for the white, and moro than
four and one-tenth per cent. for the
co!ored population.

RETURNS TO THE CHARaE.-The New
York Times does not seem inclined to
withdraw its rebuke Of pisrule in. the
South. by what it calls the puerile
alarm of q few Republican journals
| whom questions like these are disco
vered." In late issue, it says: "If it
were possible for both the political
parties OF the day to unite in the en-
deavor to put right whatever may be
wrong in the condition of the South
ern States, it would be an exco!!en.
thing for the whole country" Such q
combination, however, it looks upon
as out OF the range Of probability. 1t
says that it has no desire to see politi-
cal capital made by the Democrats out
of existing evils at the South, and that
it ID the business OF tho Republican
party to deal with them. II SAYS of
South Carolina:
eff we can believe the evidence be.
fore US in relation to thut State-and
il seems impossible to reject 1.-THE
negroes have not been behaving we'll.
Now, if they once understand that the
Republican party will not staud by
them through thick md thin-will not
countcnanoe any attempt to establish
organized corruption in South Carroll
ma or any other State-it cannot be
doubted that the warning would have
q very salutary effect upon their
minds. Indeed, the remoustrances
which We have already uttered upon
the subject have not been thrown
away. Tho Republican journals in
South Carolina Lave quoted our re-
marks, and have plainly told the CO.
lored people that the government OF
the State must be reformed, or they
will lose tho support Of the great party
which gave them their freedom and
their political rights. The party will
not and cannot justify measures WHICH
lead to the wholesale coniscAtiou of
private property"
journals, that ''they seem to think that
1t is very dangerous thing to tell the
truth. We believe. Oh the contrary,
that it is very dangerous thug to
conceal it." Onr Republican contem-
porary adds:
III Republicans in the South wish
tcrecelve support. they must act as We
wish and expect Republicans IN the
North to aot-that il, with good faith
and due regard to the responsibility
which every party owes to the people
who put it III power. Here and there
a Republican paper may think this is
q very dangerous doctrine 10 pro-
nounce. We cannot help that. We
have not labored to suppress Tweedism
in this State, merely that We may give
either nn open or u covert support to
Tweedism elsewhere. Nor can We see
that corruption, when it is practiced
in the name of Republicsnism, is in
any degree better than corruption
when it is practiced in the name of
Democracy. It is our duty to con-
demn it wherever We may happen to
find it,"
This is sound doctrine. aud it is to
be hoped will be duly needed by both
the open and covert supporters of q
system Of wholesale robbery and plum
der in the Southern States, compared
with which Tweedism in New York
dwindles to petty larceny.
