Another recommendation, or suggestion

Another recommendation, or suggestion,
the postmaster-genera makes, and there IS
much of force in it. He says that post
masters Salaries should bear some proper
I" ton to their duties" and that If the sal
aries of the smaller offices are not excess
i've, those of the large cities are too low.
We do not believe that the postmasters'
salaries in the large cities are too low-four
thousand dollars a year is plenty large
enough-but those of postmssters in the
smaller offices are excessive. The post
master at Philadelphia, whose population
is nearly, if not quite, seven hundred thou
sand, only receives four thousand dollars
per annum. Only the same salary is paid
to the postmaster OF Brooklyn, with pop
ulation of over four hundred thousand of
st. Louis, with a population of more than
three hundred and twelve thousand of
Chicago, with three hundred thousand; OF
Boston, with over two hundred and fifty
thousand and yet the postmasters at Rut-
land and Burlington-the former with
population of some FIVE or six thousand,
and the latter with some fifteen thousand
are paid over three thousand dollars each,
per annum. The salary is out of all pro-
portion, and an equitable readjustment

Bunker Hill Centennial.

The procession was about ten miles long,
and was all in holiday attire, making
finer show than was ever witnessed in
that or any other city, in q military pa
radc and review. The arrangements
were complete, the police regulations per-
feet, and there were said to have been a
million spectators. The procession con.
tanned several southern organizations who
were given a welcome worthy of the oc.
casion, and one which will have ten
dency to break down the barrier between
the north and the south. The public cx-
pressions and demonstrations Of applause
and welcome were all that could be
wished by anybody. The procession was
four hours and ten minutes passing a
given point, and it was not until six
o'clock that the large audience in the
mammoth tent erected on the hill was
called to order, and in consequence Of

were curtailed to about onc-sixth Of the

Of these suggestions would quite account
for such q strange procedure. Tho moro
natural inference is, that Mr.. Hulbert's
letter, so ostentatlously paradcd as con.
firming the HeraldS statement of the
9th ins tant, was not written until it could
be truthlully said that he had accepted
the position rendered him-perhaps upon
the 9th instant and that the inaccuracy
Of the HeraldS statement is rather
rhetorical" than malicious. But even
with that charitable view of the case it is
unfortunate. How much better it might
have been if this editor had only ffnlsEed
his courst at Middlebury college, and re-
ceved the full benefit Of its rhetorical
training, at least so far as 10 be able to
make his statements Of facts with tolera-

An Explanation.

The Rutland HernH rises TO explain
under the above head, as follows:
The following item was published in
the HERALD the 9th inst: "a meeting
of the trustees Of Middlebury College
was held in Middlebury on Thursday
evening June 3, and we are informed
that the presidency of the college was Of
fered to Rev. G. b. Hubert of Bcnning-
ton, and tina. he accepts it." This item
was sent to the editor Of the HERALD by
one of the trustees Of the college who had
told us some time previously that the Of
flee of president Of the college would soon
be filled, md that as soon as the election
was made we should be informed of the
fact. We have not seen single member
Of the board of trustees since the meeting
of the Sd inst. This item was furnished
without solicitation on our part, any fur
ther than an expression Of Interest in the
subject and an intimation that we should
be pleased to have this gentleman favor
us with the intelligence as he had offered
to do. The information when it came
was surprise to us. We had not heard
Mr.. Hubert mentioned as candidate for
this office and had not Guessed" that he
was to be the president. On the con-
trary we had supposed, and if VIC had
guessed at all, should have guessed that
another gentleman would be elected to
this office. We do not mean by this to
be understood as intimating that in our
opinion good man has not been elected,
but that this particular choice Of man
had not suggested itself to us as one like.
y to be made. From the favorable com.
mcnts that have since been made upon
this election, it may seem strange TO our
Middebury Reighbor that we had not
"guessed" as our neigabor guessed we
had. After this item was published, we
received letters from Rev. MIR. Hubert
and the trustee from whom our iniorma-
tion had been received, in both Of which
our statement was confirmed.
The Herald's explanation" needs ex-
planning. If it be a fact that "trustee"
mailed information of Rev. q. b. Hull
bert's acceptance Of the presidency Of
Middlebury College to the editor of the
Herald, on the 4th inst, then this trus.
tee lied like Satan, and knew that he lied
"a very improper thing for a member Of
the corporation to do. Again, if the edi.
tor really had that little note in his vest
pocket, with ample confirmation from
this communicative corporator, and the
president-elect, why, in the name of com
mon sense, did no retract his statement Of
the acceptance" in the issue of June I'll

The ex.secretary says; The actual
debt adjusted and not adjusted at the

disbanding of the Federal army, was not
less than $3,0O0,000,000. On the LIST

this, and rothing at all comparable to it,
illustrates the financial history Of any
nation" And yet, with this splendid
showing, the party that should receive
the credit due to such a magnificent finan-
cial exhibit is denounced for its waste OF
public money and for its lack of financial
ability. We commend the statement Of
Mr.. McCulloch to the Democratic and
