revenue, in connection with which the names
of Charles L. Lawrence and Deputy Collector
Des Angcs acquired such unenviablc notoriety
have made their report to the Secretary
of the Treasury, and the substance of it is
given in another column. The story of the
long and energetic searching, and the tireless
watch kept over suspected personally which
these frauds were detected-Of the shrcwdness
with which the cunning schemes of the snug
glers to battle inquiry were defeated, and OF
the pursuit of Lawrence to Montreal and New
Brunswick, and finally to England, where ne
was arrested, is an interesting one. The de-
tectives declare that the combination of which
Lawrence was an agent is very powerful, and
has defrauded the Government out OF very
large sums. Its operations are believed to be
checked for time, not wholly broken up, and it
is asserted that this Smuggling Ring includes
some houses of high standing in this city.
There is probably a tnge of exaggeraton in
the statements as to the extent and power OF
this Ring. but certainly the most unsparing
effort should be used to bring all the guilty to
Justice, be they in high or low position.

THE POSTAL SYSTEM.

1t is only few years since the postal sys-
TEN of the United States was marvel OF IN
efficient and extravagant msmanagement IL
was conducted at heavy annual expense TO
the taxpayers, its cost rising every year higher
and higher above its revenues, while the ser
vice which it rendered was proverbially slow
and uncertain. Yet the system was old enough
to be pretty good one. 1t is three hundred
and fifty years since regular mail was first
established in Germany by the Count OF Ihurn
and Taxis, and even before that date the
public post was an institution in America, for
Pizarro found 1t in full operation between
Quito and CuzcO when he invaded
Peru. England had an official corresponding
TO the modern Postmaster General two hundred
and seventy years ago, and Colonial Post
master General was established at NewYOrk
rs early as ITO. When Benjamin Franklin
held that office, fifty years later, he introduced
n reform which startled and delighted the
people quite as much as the fast mail train OF
Gov. Jewell; it was nothing less than fast
mail wagon, which left Philadelphia every
Monday morning, and arrived at Boston the
following Saturday night, thus getting over
the ground at the unparalleled speed of two
and half miles an hour.
In hundred and twenty years we have
succeeded in multiplying the speed of the mail
by fourteen; but considering the general adj
vance of the age in that century and quar-
ter the progress of the postal service has not
been uniformly rapid. Until quite lately it
was far in arrear of the times 1t is not long
since one of the cOmmOnest sights on the road
tn California was stack of abandoned mail
bags, tons in weight, and a private express
company made large income by carrying
letters on which the Government ex-
acted postage without insuring transportation.
Thus the sender paid twice for the service,
once to the carrier who performed it, and
again to the pOst-offce, which claimed the
monopoly without doing the work. 1t is hardly
year since the newspapers printed jubant
communications from citizens of New-lork
who, for the first time in their lives, learned
that they could mail letter to friend in
the next ward and get an answer the same
day and even now it is a fresh and almost a
surprising experience to see the post carried to
Brooklyn nearly as fast as an average cripple
could cover the distance on crutches. In fact,
the remarkable improvement which is now
bringing the mail service abreast of the tel
egraph, express, messenger, and general rail-
way service in efficiency and safety, is chiefly
the growth of the past five or ten years, and
the work of two or three cOnspicuously able
and active officers. Gov. Jewell has done
more than any Of his recent predecessors to
teach postmasters and route agents that their
principal duty is TO take care of the mails and
not of politics, and he has been fOrtu-
nate in the cooperation of several subor-
dinate officers whose value to the Government
can hardly be ezercstimated. Mr.. Bangs, fol

instance, the general superintendent OF the
railway mail service, may be said to snpIry
the department in great measure with the
commodity in which Government departments
are most apt to be lacking-tO wit, brains;
while as for Mr. James, the Postmaster ut this
great distributing center of the service his APP
pointmcnt is one of the good deeds for which
the whole country should be deeply grateful
to President Grant
The reform which took effect yesterday with
the departure of the fast mail trains for the
West is only the first step, we trust, in series
of similar changes. II has been apparent Tor
some time that the general introduction OF
postal cars must lead to enormous improve
ment in the methods of the mail service, ana
the extent of the coming changes is as yet put
family fOrcseen The first result VIII proba-
bly, be a great increase in the revenues OF the
post office, both from letters and printed mat
ter, and as the separation of the mail from the
passenger service on the trunk railways be-
comes general, as it soon must, this Increase
will be greatly accelerated. Fast mails between
New York and Boston are next III order

Since 1867 the attitude of the true friends
of the Constitutional currency has been that of
mere passive resistance to the schemes of the
inflationists. In 1865 Mr.. McCuloch was pro-
hibited from withdrawing any more legal tender
notes from circulation, and from that hour to
this no step has been taken in the direction OF
specie payments. When the Bank of England
suspended cash payments i'll 1897 date was
fixed for resumption. BY successive prolonga-
tons of the restriction" the reign of irre-
deemabe paper was protracted until
1921, and the final escape of Great
Britain from the evils of paper money with
out any fixed standard was mainly due to the
circumstance that the paper was issued by a
bank instead of by the Government. After a
fourteen years experience with greenbacks
Congress has merely done what the British
Parliament did at the start, viz, fix date for
resumption. No preparations have been made
for resumng on that date. 1t is doubtful
whether a strict construction of the Act of
Jan. ii, 1873, would permit the Secretary of
the Treasury to make any preparations. 1t is
still more questionable whether the Secretary,
if he undertook to provide an adequate
amount of gold coin, would he permitted
by Congress to go on. 1t Is certain that
if he acted on the most liberal construction of
the powers conferred on him by the sO-called
Resumption Act he would only disorder the
foreign exchanges, intensity the scarcity of
gold coin, and strengthen that powerful class

that the Papal NunciO has addressed an AFRO
CANT circular to the Spanish bishops, demand
ing religious prescription and clerical control
