L ELEoTING PosTMAsTERs.-Ab BILLS now
pending in the House of representatives
that proposes the election of postmasters
in every city and incorporated town by
the people OF the municipality, by ballot.
This election is to be held every four
years, concurrent with the Presidential
election. The person elected is to be
commissioned by the President on pre-
senting the Postmaster Generals certifi-
cate of election, and giving bond as now
provided by law. Postmasters thus
elected are to be removable for cause by
the President and Postmaster General;
and on such removal, or on failure to
nualify according to law, the President
is to appoint another person to fill the
vacancy until the next stated election.
/, Such a law would doubtless relieve
rthe Department. of much labor and re-
sponsibility, in the matter OF making
the numerous appointments required by
the postal service. 1t is also probable
that the people of any city or town would
he as well qualified to select suitable
persons for the office as the Department
now is under the present system of petit
.tion and recommendations. OF course,
like every other office, it would immedi-
sately fall into the pool of politics. But
that would render the matter little less
Objectionable than the course now is,
where appointments are almost inYaria-
bly made on political grounds.
One result of the elective plan would
be to make postmasters somewhat more
independent; and it would likewise, in
"a great measure, prevent the post
al service of the country from being
made the medium of electioneering
for any particular Presidential nominee.
1T would moreover produce a spirit of
greater vigilance and accommodation on
the part of postmasters towards their
constituency, upon whose votes de-
pended their election; and this is con-
summation most deVoutly to be wished
An regard to that branch of the public
service. Their fidelity to the require
ments OF the law and the rules of the
Department would likewise be secured
by reason OF the power of removal for
cause, still held by the Department. 1t
lwould give the elected incumbent the
4. assurance. of at least four-year term,
provided he gave no cause of removal in
The mean time; and he could therefore
address himself to his dutues with no
misgiyings of mind as to being ousted
by the maehinations of any rival, during
his elected term. Upon the whole we do
not see but that the people and the pub
lic service would both be benefited by
such law.

WE understand that His Honor Mayor
Johnston was treated to carriage ride
yesterday through Hunt-street saoamp. 1t
is reported that he enjoyed it hugely, es-
pecially the crossing the hump-backed
rails of Route No. 10, and the snake
heads of Route No. 13; and that His
Honor Tejoiced with exceeding great joy
that he got through without an upset
and broken bones. His horses, and car.
riage, however, when he got through,
bore striking resemblance to dilapi-
dated brick-yard.
The call for a citizens indignation
meeting, to take measures for abating
the nuisance, is nevertheless receiving
due attention; and the Mayor and Coun-
Gil will probably soon be saluted with a
clap of popular thunder that may hit
somebody, and hurt where it hits. The
outrage is simply insuferable.

GEN. SCHENCK is making a clear
breast of the whole Emma Mine bust
ness; and thus far his testimony. before
the committee completely exonerates
him from any knowledge OF partici-
pancy in any fraud connected with the
transactions. He contradiets Lyon
most positively and supports his state
ments by documentary proof Of a con-
elusive character. His only mistake
seems to have been in allowing the other
parties to use his name as one of the
Directors; and even for so doing he cites
the precedent Of the Minister to Portu-
gal doing the same thing in similar
case.

WELL POSTED IN PoLITIcs.-The Bos-
ton papers are always blatant about
their accuracy of information concern
ing public affairs. The Boston Times, oil
March 5, announced the following:
"It is said that Ex-Governor Todd is
likely to receive the appointment Of Sec.
retary of War;"
Now, seeing that Taft had then beer
appointed, and Ex-Governor Todd had
been dead some eight years or so, this
may be set down as tolerably correct in
| formation-for Boston!

FROM present indications the bill in
Congress, authorizing the granting of
immunity from prosecution for crime to
witnesses testifying before Congress
sional committees, win probably be de-
feateG, on the ground Of its unconsti-
tutionality. We never had faith in the
validity Of such proceeding when il
was agitated in MarsRs case. Some
called it "pardon" from the President;
but such it could not be, because the
President has no power to grant spar
DOM except in case of crime ''clearly
ascertained" by legal conviction.
