POST ROUTES,

The consideration OF the bill to establish
post routes throughout the country was
resumed, and Mr.. Morrill,, of Maine again
urged that the service be diyested Of all
express and freight system.
MIR. Ramsey said there were but six OF
seven States in the Union which paid the
expenditures for the transportation ol the
mail in them, and he desired to say to the
gentlemen from Maine and Vermont that
their States were not Of the number, yet
the Department had not been in the habit
OF curtailing the service in those States.
Mr.. Hamlin thought the post route bill
should be carefully guarded. He would
offer an amendment at the proper time Ia
provide that the service should not be
established on new routes until an exami
sary.
Pending the discussion the morning
hour expired and the Senate resumed the
consideration Of the resolution reported
by the Finance Committee. -

A Wasted Life.

The Baltimore american gives the fol-
lowing concerning Samuel w. Mcdonald.
the alleged murderer of Berry Amos. the
gambler: upon the death of his father
the late William Mcdonald. who owned a
very large and valuable estate, this, his
only son, who now stands charged with
the crime of murder, inherited very large
fortune, amounting, ii is said, to about
s2S5,OOO. Although still very young, be-
ing just twenty-five years of age, it Is no
torious that for years past he has been
leading very wild and reckless life. in
dulging in all manner of extravagances,
and consorting habtually with evil COM
panions of both sexes; and thus it comes
that i'm the very bloom of his early man
hood, with large possessions of earthly
goods and many capabilities for honorable
usefulness, this young man is now com
mitted to a felon's cell. charged with the
awful crime Of murder. On the 9th day
of March, 1870, Samuel w. Mcdonald, the
accused, celebrated his twenty-first birth
day by grand dinner, given at the then
country residence of the Mcdonald family,
Guilford, on the York road. Cards Of in
vitation we've issued, and the guests pres
ent comprised some of the leading citizens
of this city and Baltimore county. When
young Mcdonald came home from Eli-
rope, before attaining his majority, where
he had received an education, he had open
ed to him the best society in this city, and
his career seemed promising one. but he
