General Jewell's Administration

WASHINGTON, Sept. A.-The accounts
for the transportation Of the mails for the
last fiscal year have been made up, and
show such result, General Jewell proving
that there has been no increase in the cost
of this branch of service, as compared with
the year 1874, but an actual decrease Of
forty-eight thousand doll.rs, or saving to
the Government on this item alone of over
one million dollars. This has been accom-
plishcd by the cutting down of the pay of
contractors and the abolition of service on
routes not needed, and wherethe service was
duplicated. A few years more of General
Jewell's administration will go far towards
making the Post-Oflice Department selfsus-
tanning.

The Postoaice Department.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-Two years ago
Postmaster General Creswell estimated that
the cost of transportation of mail service
for the fiscal year ending June 80, 1875,
would be increased about per cent. over
the year 1874, when it amounted to fifteen
millions one hundred and forty-eight dol
lars. When General Jewell assumed
charge of the Department he deemed it
practicable to cut down. the percentage of
increase. 10,

was held in Cooper Institute, tonight, as 8
popular demonstration against the proposed
resumption of specie payment. The hal
was densely crowded and in point of mum.
bers the meeting was great success. TIE
platform was occupied by many noted ad-
vocates of imitation. Hon. Richard Schell
acted as chairman. The principal speakers
were Hon. Edward Crane, Of Mass; Hon.
T. E. Tomlinson, and Mr.. J. K. Magee, oil
Illinois, and Mr.. Boynton, of Ohio. A let
ter was read from Ben. Butler, expressing
regret at his inability to attend. A letter
of sympathy was also received from Wen
dell Phillips. The remarks of the orators
against resumption were frequently ap-
plauded, but there was discordant element
present and Kisses were not infrequent. II
was considered that New York must re-
spond to the wishes of the great West and
oppose all efforts tending to a return to
specie payments. Ig .l,f.sr.J
Resolutions were adopted as follows: @
Resolved, That contraction of the currency
heretofore made and further contraction
proposed, with view to forced resumption
OF specie payments, has already brought
disaster to the business of the country, and
threatens general bankruptcy. We demand
this policy be abandoned and volume of
currency made and kept equal to- the wants
OF trade, leaving restoration Of legal ten
ders to par of gold, to be- brought about
by promoting the industries Of the people
and not by destroying them, y
.Resolved, That the policy already initiated
OF abolishing legal tenders, and giving Ma
tional Banks power to furnish currency, will
increase the power of an already dangerous
monopoly, and the enormous burdens now
expressing the people, and that we oppose
this policy and demand that all National
Bank circulation be promptly and perma-
nently retired, and legal tenders issued in
their place.
Resolved, That public interests demands
that the government should cease to dis
credit it's own currency and make its legal
tenders receivable for all public dues,
except where respect for obligation
OF contracts requires payment in coin,
snl that we favor payment of at
least one-ha!f customs in legal tenders
Resolved, That we demand the extinction
Of present national banks, and the establish
ment in their stead of system of free banks
Of discount and deposit, under such regula-
tion Us the States may respectively prescribe,
and no paper currency, except such as may
be issued directly by and upon the faith Of
the general Government.
Resolved, That we send cheer and sympa-
thy to the great Democratic party Of the
West, and that we hail their success as a
triumph of the people over a monopoly
which threatens the safety of the country.
Resolved, That we recommend electors
throughout the State of New York to assem-
bic in their Various districts, and form legal
tender clubs in conformity with resolutions
adopted by this meeting, to give strength to
the great Democratic party in Ohio and
Pennsylvania, in prosecuting the canvass.
The meeting then adjourned.

To the Editor ofthe Union. 49, s.. -.
5 was quite interested in an article in a
recent issue of the Union On the subject
Of County Oranges. We have long felt
the necessity of tie link in the chain. We
first organized what we term I; county
Grange in this county, and I believe il
was the first county organization of the
kind in the State. We elected the same
officers that are elected in the sub Grange
except the lady officers, and the only
change that VIC have made since was. to
change the name to County Council I
have been member of that body most of
the time for the past three years, and We
have accomplished great deal; but the
Council is not at present what it should
be. 1t is very lhuch like train of cars
without a locomotive, or steam boat
without an engine. We can load up and
run down grade, or float down stream !;
but when it is necessary to climb the
grade Or travel up stream, We lack the
motive power. We have splendid boat
in this county. She is well built, firm,
substantial and durable; noble and
brave crew; a No. i pilot and compe.
tent engineer. AS for the captain, I have
nothing to say, but il the proper authori-
ty will furnish US an engine, we promise
great results. i +, IS r.. !.
