hopeful 10 its tone throughout. In eoncIu.
sion the Governor says:
The measures which deem most essen.
tial to the present welfare Of the State are /:

REMARKS.
TOBACCO EXCHANGE.
RICHMOND, November %, 1877

RICHMOND, November 70, 1870.
Tobncco.-The break of tobacco to-day was 40
hogsheads and tlerces.
The offerings at auction on 'Charge to-day were
80 packages, Of which ~ were sold at prices
ranging from Sll to $3l. Bids on Il packages
were rejected. Market dull.
The quantity of loose tobacco weighed at shockoe
Warehouse from the 1st instant to the Goth Instant,
inclusive, was 7s6, 500 pounds. There was fall
Ing off, however, in the last few days. The scene
around Shockoe Slip for several days recently
reminds one forcibly Of what was seen there
In anti. bellum times. There was the sane ''old
Niger" and the same old ox-cart; the same boat
shaped four.wheeled, canyas.covered wagon the
same bivouacking around the log-fire; the same old
rye, and the same old corn.cob pipe, and the same
tracking in pctry, poultry, eggs, and other coun-
try products.

THE PosT.OFrIcE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

tons to Congress. Mr.. Jewell will refer to
the operations OF the Department during the
wear in terms of satisfaction ; will reclte the
changes and improvements in the manner OF
making contracts and the transportation OF
the mails, most of which have been reported
from time to time, and will call attention to
the very creditable financial exhibit. DE
will treat at some length Of the tast.mal
service throughout the country, which he
approves in the most earnest manner. q
portion Of his report will also be devoted to
the new system OF preparing newspaper posi-
age and its operations. No change in the
method will be recommended. The Post.
master. General looks with regret upon the
practice of postmasters who receive large
salaries ranging from fifteen hundred 10 lour
thousand dollars, who devote only few
hours each day TO their duties. de strongly
condemns such officers as come to their
offices late ip the afternoon, hastily turning
over their mail. signing such documents as
EtIullc tuCll pNehi SSS N"SA 49, .
their duties to subordnates and giving their
time to their private pursuits. Mr.. Jewell
is of the opinion that officers paid BY the
Government should give their whole time to
the Government, and that those who cannot
do this ought to retire. In this respect he
will, without probably intending, it, hit
sundry Administration editorial post
masters some severe blows. In re,
gard to what is known as the third
class matter" upon which the rate was SO
unreasonabIy increased during the last ses,
sion of Congress, the Postmaster'G GENERAL
will make some important Recommendations
The present postage on all printed matter
and packages is cent an ounce, or iraction
of an ounce, on all transient matter, SO that
it not unfrequently happens that transient
newspaper will require four cents postage, or
as much as the original cost of the paper.
Mr.. Jewell will recommend return to the
old rates namely, half cent an ounce on
newspapers, but will ask that the law remain
as it is IN regard to other articles, except,
perhaps, books and upon this he has not yet
decided.
