This is quite an army of people occupied
in the general diffusion of intelligence.
Some of them " ork constantly with their
lives in their hands, as it were, whirling
and speeding through the country at the
rate of forty miles per hour. Their sggre-
gate annual compensation is about $13,-
40O, 900, and this is an average of about
1915 per capita per annum.
And yet, because this great postal sys-
TEN of ours is not selfsustaining, because
it does not quite pay all expenses owing to
the sparsely-settled condition of large
portion of the vast area of country sup
piled, and the large percentage of ignorant
and illiterate persons in some sections who
are Just being brought under the
influence of the system Of COM
mon, school education, but are not yet
so far advanced as to enjoy the benefits
of this postal system, the Democratic House
proposes to reduce the service, and strikes
at those portions of it which are appreciat-
ing most rapidly. Does a Democratic
House wish the people engaged in the
postal service to work for less than $315
per annum average, when its members are
paid $1,000 per annum7 Our postal SER
vice LIST year cost the people nearly thirty
four millions. of which nearly seven millions
were drawn from the Treasury, in addition
to the revenue earned. This amount is
an advance of seventeen cents per capita
by the people from their general revenues
in order to provide postal facilities for
those who live in the remote and sparsely
settled regions of the country. But the
Democrats, who were never able as a
party to discriminate between true and
false economy, or else never desired to
practice it al all further than to enable them
to use it as catchword for the purpose of
attaining power, now propose to cut down
the postal appropriations to the self sus-
tanning point. They are aware that this
course must necessarily deprive many of
tleir constituents OF their present mail
facilities. If they go upon the principle of
cutting off those routes that do not yield
revenue enough to pay expenses now, and
stopping free delivery in those cities which
are too small to make it pay, they will find
that the result will be to curtail the service
most in Democratic sections of the coun-
try. Ifthey think cutting off the service
in their own districts will aid in their re-
election perhaps they ought to be allowed
to do it, but we do not think so. The truth
is that the Confederate House wishes to 60
before the country with the demagogical
cry of retrenchment and reform, and will
point to the insane and ridiculous record
they are now making in the House, not with
any expectation that the measures will be-
come laws, but that they will be defeated in
the Senate, as evidence of their sincerity.

HARpER's FERRY WATER.PowER.

Through our advertising columns it will
be seen that the Harper's Ferry water
power, embracing the power entire at the
confluence of the Shenandoah river with
the Potomac, together with the sites of the
old Government armory, foundry and
arsenal buildings, and all the land formerly
held by the Government by the devisees of
Robert Harper and others, will be sold at
public sale on the Goth of July. The sale
is by authority of DEGREES of the United
States District Court for the district of
West Virginia, and will doubtless attract
many representatives of our Northern
manufacturers. besides moneyed men from
abroad.
The great value of this water-power
cannot be overestimated, since better
natural advantages for large manufactures,
foundries or work shops cannot be found
in our country. Its inexhaustible water
and timber supply, lis contiguity to the
coal and iron fields of Maryland, Pennsy,-
vsnia and Virginia, and to the rich agricu,-
tural lands of the Shenandoah, Capon and
South Branch Valley. and its unsurpassed
railroad and canal facilities, cannot fail to
be appreciated by our enterprising manu-
facturers of the North. And it is safe to
predict that not many years will pass ere
fourishing, prosperous manufacturing
city, teeming with business and life, will
occupy the place of this town made forever
historical, yet desolated and deserted by
the rebellion. The coal, iron, timber and
agricultural products of the Shenandoah
Valley alone are all sufficient to sustain
a city of hundred thousand inhabitants
at Harper's Ferry. Since Northerners have
begun to discover the true worth of the
Old Dominion, only a few years since,
she is fast becoming rehabilitated, fast re-
stored to her former position of life and
prosperity, and what is to prevent Har-
per's Ferryfrom becoming a Lowell, a
Lynn or Pittsburgh

The death of NJ. Ricard again throws France
into political struggle. NJ. Ricard was the
Minister on whose appointment the organiza-
tion of the present Republican compromise
Cabinet turned, and his demise will undoubt-
edly revive the factional difficulties which so
disturbed the political equilibrium of the Re-
public before the present ministry was formed.
The most ridiculous assertion of the nine
teenth century was made by the Captain Gen.
eral of Cuba, when he said the foreign resi-
dents must pay the extraordinary tax be-
cause there is no war on the island. The
last report we had from there was to the ef-
feet that the patriots were as efficient and
more determined than ever before. When
men fight to disenthrall themselves from the
CALLING chains of tyranny, they forget the
words "give up" and "defeat."
