nnd friendly way extended his hand cordially TO
his "SuYefintendent OF Agriculture and Conn
missioner TO the American EXPEDITION" They
descended The stairway, and beckoned US To ap-
proach. What was the King going to greet rs

a citizen Of Wisconsin calling upon him

piled that that tiue could not now be, and
expressed regret that In his earlier lie lie had

NO FAST ETENING TRAIN.
Time that IL Satisfactory TO the Cities of tho
West and New England.

The Board of Trade met yesterday, with
President Opdyke In the chair. Secretary
Clarke stated the object Of their meeting, and
thereupon Col. bangs said In substance that the
Post ONCE Department considered the ~ after
in all It's bearings before deciding upon the
morning hour. II the afternoon had been
selected nearly all the leading cities In the West
would be reached in the night. II was use
less to run fast train to furnish people
with newspapers when they were asleep. Az Il
Is, Pittsburgh, Cleveland. Chicago, Toledo, Gin
are reached In the morning. They also save
.everai hours IN their connections. Now
but II they left New York In the even,
ing they would have to wait in the
The Government pay nothing extra for the fast
trains, and he considered II IA very liberal act ON
the part OF the railroad companies to furnish
them. He presumed they had a selfish m olive
however. as IL was a good advertisement for the
railroads ana besides IL was n Ind for the West
orn trade. Tue first day of running they had a
mail bag from Nova Sco,iN awaiting them 1T
Albany, and the announcement had stirred up
the lateral roads to unusual eXertions
TO connect with them. Again, the New
England states were benefited by hav-
ing the trains run In the morning (;
and they were emitted to some consideration,
"a they furnished a very paving business to the
Government Ia their maiis. There Is more mail
matter to the square mile furnished by six New
England States than all the rest OF the States
put together. The Government was also en-

Every car ifty feet in length cost the
Government $50 per mile per annum. by the
new System TWO extra cars were tanned gratis
| from each of the two roads-the New York Cen
| trail ind the PENNSYLVANIA. The first ton of
mail matter transported costs $50 Der mile per
| annum. Congress will be asked to change the
| law so that the Post once Department may be
authorized to nay for extra speed. At present
no such authority exists. Many persons sup

number of trains they thought necessary. This
| Is a mistake. The number II limited to the
quantity OF mail matter TO he transported. Two
| millio Of dollars appropriated annually would
buy the speed required for all parts Of the coun-
try. The subject Of the obj ctonable postal law
| was then taken up. The Secretary OF the Board,
| q. w. G. Clarke, read the report of a committee
appointed at the last meeting OF the board To
consider the subject saying that It was a trick
of the express companies to plunder the people.
Under the present law the postage On small
| packages was doubled, and merchants and
others were compelled to send small parcels by
| express or pay the exoroitant rates of postage.

Significant Facts.

The blighting effects OF the reconstruc-
ton policy adopted by GRAET-which con-
sisted in affording the utmost support of
the Administration TO horde Of unscru-
pulous adventures in their schemes TO
hold possession OF State Governments by
violence and fraud-cannot find better
illustration than by contrasting the condi-
ton OF those Southern States which have
emancipated themselves from the rule Of
the GRANT politicians with that which
previously existed there, and which now
exists in the States which are still held in
subsection by the representatives OF the
Administration.

No newspaper can expect to long ex-
ercise influence unless IL IL inspired by
honor and sincerity, flxity OF principle, and
real earnestness. That IL almost an axiom.
The absence Of these qualities is what
makes JAY GoULD's Tribune so feeble

two ways at once, to sing two tunes at the

Sun, rs the TrOy Times says 1t docs il has
wofully failed 10 catch the spirit Of this

gious-ought not to be in doubt to any man
who knows the meaning of English words.
We do not construe Independent journal
ism 30 mean neutral journalism, by any
means No honest mind can be neutral
in politics; aud at the present time TO pre-
tend to be so Is to conspouously advertise
r3;i: insincerity.
As to "slashing around" " that means
pursuing with perristency and relentless
assault all sorts of frauds in politics and
society, with the inileXible purpose of
pricking their bubbles, then The SUN
slashcs around. II II means, however,
simply whipping up the social waters TO
produce sensational splashing, then THE
SUN must be counted out of such
journalism. IL means business every
time, and the people know 1t; and
this explains why II leads all other
American newspapers in circulation 1t
has no favors 10 ask Of anybody, has re-
ocived none from anybody; and If IL sup
ports one party rather than the other. II Is
because II believes that by so doing II
best subservcs the interests Of the people,
who intrust it with their confidence be-
cause they recognize this honesty OF pur-
pose.
If the young editor shall, with like sim
cerity, conduct the Tribune, and conduct il
with real ability and force, he may event
| ually regain the influence OF that journal
now dissipated by dishonesty and its weak
ness. But so long M JAY GOULD dictate,

present unhappy position is impossible.

and ever since he got thee the Spanish Govern
ment has been prosecuting not only the
