1t is announced that the Superintend-
ent of the Railway Postal Service will
arrange the details of a time table for
the express mail train to the West. This
is a step in a new and desirable direc-
ton. This officer has been visiting the West
and arranging the details for the running of
fast railway trains through that country.
The government is carrying ont the idea of
the New YORK HERALD in its Sunday train.
There is no reason why, with our present
railway communications, the Western States
should not be several hours nearer than they
are at present. The action of the Postmaster
General in drawing the two sections of the
Union closer by the establishment of sys-
tenn of fast railway trains will rebound to his
credit.
But if the government in its wisdom finds
il necessary to unite the East and the West
by system of fast railway trains, why
should it stop here? We have postal sys-
TEN infinitely moro rapid than the railways
that is the telegraph. The telegraph is as
necessary to our modern civilization as rail-
ways. Every year it grows more and more
in value. The people accustom them
selves more and more to use it. We
see in England that the postal tele-
graph system has largely increased the
number of messages transmitted over the
wires. Why should the government cherish,
therefore, the postal system with so much
care and spend so much money in extend
ing it, to strain every effort to bring the
whole Union within it's advantages, and
neglect the great telegraph system, which is
only the post in an improved form The
difference between them is the difference
between steam and lightning
The FAILURES in Baltimore are not likely
TO be as disastrous as was anticipated, and it
is expected that the suspended firms will be
able TO profit by the extensions granted them
by their creditors. The affairs of the Bank
of California, on the other hand, are much
worse than at first reported. There is a les
son in this the Legitimate traders being sup
ported by other capitalists, while the specu-
lators are left to sink. If this rule had been
practised in the past speculation would not
have been 80 freely INDUCED, while regular
business would have been encouraged.
WEsTEEvELT's Tnru, it is expected, will
90 far to unrayel the Charley Ross mystery,
so far as the abductors are concerned,
though it may not restore the lost child to
his grieved parents If this additional re-
suit could be attained one of the most re-
markable cases of kidnapping in history
would be made still more remarkable by q
happy termination.

POSTMASTER JAMES deserves credit for his
systematic and orderly removal from the old
to the new Post Office. There was no con-
fusion, and the removal occasioned no incon-
venience to the public in the despatch and
delivery of the mails. Business in the new
building was conducted yesterday as if il
was matter of mere ordinary routine and
the thousands who visited the Post Office
during the day saw no evidences of moving
day. Increased postal facilities are to mark
the removal, and it is announced that the
first fast mail for the West will leave this
city on the 10Th of September

JUDGE HEBscHEL " JOHNSON of Georgia,
in charging the Grand Jury which is to in
quire into the alleged insurrectionary plot in
that State, commends wisdom and modera-
ton which are highly complimentary to his
judicial foresight and fairness. The poor
deluded negroes, if they have been entrapped
into plot against the whites, must be Sc
verely punished but it is highly important
that neither prejudice nor passion should
enter into the deliberations of the Grand
Jury. If there was no plot there must be no
indictments, and this point Judge Johnson
took care to impress upon the jury.

The Third Term in the Northwest.

The editor of the Chicago Stats Zeitalng
announces that he will support General
Grant for third term upon hard money
platform against any candidate on rag
money platform. If there are two hard
money candidates he will support the one
opposed to the republican party. The Chi
cago Stddts Zetung is one of the most impor-
tant journals in the Northwest. 1t repre-
sents that large German population which
has done so much to give strength and char
acter and patriotism to the Northwestern
States. It's editor has not been in SYM
pathy with the republican party for some
time; but in the presence of this grave issue
now threatening the country, rag money on
the one side and hard money on the other,
Reputation against national credit, he avows
his faith in General Grant. In other words,
he feels that the danger to republican insti-
tutions from the election of the President to
third term is SO remote and indefinite that
umph of any party based upon irredeemable
currency and national reputation.
We regard this announcement of the
Staots Zeit,tng as one of the most important
preliminary features of the canvass. 1t
shows, in the first place, that the Germans of
the Northwest are resolute in their purpose
to defend the honor of the government. 1t
shows also that on the question of hard
money no leader in the republican party
stands so well as President Grant Nearly
every prominent man in the organization
has trimmed on this question. They have
been afraid of it. The republican House
and the republican Senate passed an imitation
bill. The candidates for the Presidency
have trembled over 'the Western influence, "
when they should have boldly spoken their
thoughts in favor of hard money and national
credit If we take the leading men in the
party we find very few now named for the
Presidency who have made their record
reasonably clear upon this issue. On the
other hand, President Grant, by his imitation
veto, put himself ut the head of the move
ment, and therefore, in looking for candi-
date to oppose the desperate and dishonest
schemes of the rag money defenders, the
leader of the Western Germans declares for
| General Grant.
Now, we do not believe that the financial
| question is at all involved in the success of
General Grant. We should prefer to enter q
Presidential canvass fighting Cnsarism as well
as rag money. But in pointing out to poll
ticians the drift of this campaign we have
all along contended that it was bad general
ship to assume that either General Grant
meant to leave the canvass or that there was
strength enough in the party to drive him
out of it, or that if he chose to run he would
have no followers Here he receives from the
organ of the Northwestern Germans an as
surance that he will be supported upon the
question of national honor against any can
didate, republican or democratic, who may
run on q platform of initiation. That is a
! STRONGER point in the preliminary canvass

Reform in an Unexpected Quarter.

Virtue must be in the ascendant and
honesty is assuredly the best political policy,
this year for even the Louisiana Republican
Central Committee begins to see it. That
noble body of patriots, which has superin-
tended for six or seven years the most stu
pendous and audacious system of public
stealing on record has determined to ''stop
off" as Rip Van Winkle said. 1t turned
corner so short as to take away ones
breath, and resolved, in a burst of patriotic
fervor, that ''pillage in public station must
be punished, and that assaults upon per-
sonal rights are wrong.
This is all very fine but what is to become
of the republican party in Louisiana If
'pillage in public station" is punished, and
assaults upon personal rights" are for
bidden? 1t will be party almost without
leaders for it is not an exaggeration to say
that if every leading Louisiana republican
who has been concerned in 'pillage in public
station" were punished the greater part OF
them would be either in State prison or in
the chain gang by the time the next election
is held This would be an excellent thing
for the State, but it would ruin 'the party"
And if personal rights are hereafter to be
respected what will Mr.. Packard do? He is
United States Marshal and Chairman of the
Republican State Central Committee. In
this double capacity he has been accustomed
to harry the democrats just before election
with blank warrants of arrest. Is he going
to deny himself this pleasure hereafter 7
When the Louisiana republicans become the
friends of virtue the party must be very sick
indeed. 'When the devil was sick the devil
monk would be, says an old song. What
is the matter in Louisiana? Are the colored
people leaving the republican party?

A FAcET1oUs GENTLEMAN is Mr.. S. l.. Phil
lips President of the Third Avenue Railroad
Company. He completely bubbles over with
fun, especially where the interests of the
Third Avenue Railroad are concerned No
body but great humorist would say that if
the avenue is chosen by the Rapid Transit
Commission for an elevated road the horse
car line will get the authority of the Legisla-
ture to run steam cars in the street. To use
an expressive colloquialism, this idea is too
funny for anything; but it is not SO Won
derfully ludicrous as Mr.. Phillips talk
about the stockholders of the Third
avenue company as "citizens of New York "
when he went before the commission in COM
pany with most of these citizens, though ac-
companied only by Mr.. Hart, q worthy gen
tleman of Chatham street, who has put SO
much of his earnings into the road that it
earns dividends for scarcely anybody else.
We confess we were not aware there was so
much humor in the President of the Third
Avenue Railroad Company, though it must
be confessed that the management of the
line is something very like practical joke.

than any other candidate, democratic or re-
publican, has yet attained In other words,
if General Grant were running for the first
time for the nomination, and had such an as
surance of support that is now given by the
editor of the Chicago Stats Zeitung, his nom
ination would be beyond question.
