New YORK. July 23.-With the Times
of yesterday morning ended the exist
ence of the fast mail railway service
and its decease, as well as its benefit. is
made the subject of something of cele-
bralion BY the postal clerks, not on
account of any dislike of the employ
ment, but from a feeling that such an
important event should be duly noticed.
As the train left the Grand Central
depot its course was marked for con-
siderable distance by the noise of fire.

WASHINGTON. July 22.-Hen ndricks has
evidently made vote by the House in
favor of repeating the Resumption Act
on the Indispensable condition of his
acceptance of the nomination. He
wants a practical soft money interpreta-
ton Of the st. Louis platform before he
steps upon it. His labors have had
some success. Wike. of Illinois, a
member of the Banking and Currency
Committee. has indicated that he is
disposed to favor the Resumption Act,
which fixed the date for resumption.

CHICAGO. July "a. A Washington
special to the Tribune says that Mr.. Nc
Pherson. in examining the official copy
of the Democratic platform adopted At
St Louis in order to prepare correct
copy for his manual, has discovered two
changes in the document as read at St
Louis, which are giving the Democrats
much annoyance. First one as in the
fractional currency plank including the
part which followed the charges that
legislation by the Republican party had
always impeded the return to specie
payment, which was read as follows :.
"Such hindrance We denounce as the
resumption clause of 1875. and we here
demand its repeal" In the official
copy since prepared. the word "cladse"
is changed to date, as the general un-
derstandiug that the repeal demanded
was of the entire resumption clause
which involved much more than tho
simple date, and as this has been delib-
erately changed by some one in way
to simply make it demand change in
date for resumption without affecting
any Of the act. it has naturally caused
much commotion among one faction of
the Democrats. The other change is in
the official copy, and is i'll the Mongo-
liam plank. 1t will be remembered by al,
who were at the St Louis convention,
or who recall the report of the proceed
ings, that when Dorsheimer read the
Chinese plank he omitted that part
which he said was in pencil, and which
he said he could not read, but that the
clerk would when he had finished the
rest. Thereupon the California delega-
ton insisted that it should be read. Af-
ter some confusion their demand was
complied with. This part was demand
that the present treaty with China
should be SO modified as to prevent the
further importation of Mongolians.
The Pacific delegates were particularly
persistent in demanding that this should
go into the platform, and it was adopted
as part of this plank but has now teen
left out entirely. aErH's
