The Postal Railway Con, ention.

LOUISVILLE. October 2. The first ses.
sion in this city Of the Postal Railway
Convention commenced At the Gait
House this morning. Albert Fink, OF
Louisville, one of the most competent
railroad statisticans in the country was
examined at great length. On two
points the commissioners say his
testimony was of great practical
Importance. The board has for
some time been endeayorirg TO
ascertain an equitable basis for COM
pensation to the railroad companies for
postal transportation, but found much
difficulty in obtaining it. From Official
statements of the methods by which they
themselves arrived At what they regard
ed an adequate compensation for this
service, Mr.. Fink announced unreserved-
ly that in his judgement, rate of pay
ment so per cent. above the cost of operat-
ing the roads would be an equitable
compensation to be received by managers
of such roads for other kind OF Trans
portation. On hequestion the speed COM
missioners say that his views were equal
~ explicit anu ClOaTlN CA pEeSscu. Ile
declared in favor OF the practicability of
ascertsining the cost of
Increased speed OF Postal Trans
pOrtatiOn,
and in order to ascertain the rate of
payment for such increased speed,
announced the novel, but
the reasonable theory that
it would involve TO material increase in
the cost of fuel to move a railroad train
fifty miles in one hour than it wcuid fifty
miles in two hours, but as the amount OF
steam required to move the train at the
greater speed would be twice rs much in
the same time, and the steam
generating power of locomotive being
limited, the weight 1t could have at
double the speed would be only one-half.
DR.. +. d Stsndeford, President and
ID. w. G. Rowland, Superintendent of
the Louisville, Nashville and Great
Southern Railroad made interesting
statements in relation to the postal rail
way service.
The session will continue tomorrow
evening when the Commissioners go to
Nashville and Atlanta.

CHARLES FBANCIs ADAMS.


This distinguished statatesmsn and
hfe-long Republican has written letter,
which we reproduce in another part OF
the REGISTER, which will challenge the
attention of the old-line Republicans and
tt ose who are really seeking a pure gov
ernment. 1t is brief but powerful ar
raignment of the party which Is seeking to
give Granlism another lease of four years
upon the country. 1t is the letter OF a
man in deadly earnest. Mr.. ADAMS is
not among those who consider the results
of the election a trivial matter and victory
merely question of public plunder. he
is thoroughly ashamed of the dishonor
which the Republican party has brought
upon this country, thoroughly sick Of its
misgovernment, and thoroughly con-
vlnced of its dangerous tendencies. He
feels that the managers and the office
holders have got control Of it, and that
its better elements are powerless; so that
the whole struggle is narrowed down to
death grspple between the people and
the officials. He speaks out like an
ADAMS frankly and fearlessly, sparIng
neither organizations nor individuals.

THE CAMPAIGN IN THIS STATE

WE have carefully written letter
from an intelligent and observing gen.
tlemsn, who has travelled pretty much all
over the First District, and who has had
facilities TO learn pretty accurately the
condition of the organization of the two
parties He gives it rs his candid juds-
ment that MATHEWS majority, in this
district, will not be less than 1900. This
he regards as rather under than over the
mark. This sccords with our informa-
ton and estimates received from we'll
posted men from all parts of the district.
No estimate yet received puts the Demo.
cratic majority at less than 1000, and
some put it as high as $500.
From the Second District, we have
the most encouraging news also. Here is
specimen of the letters received from
that quarter:
MooREFIELD, WEST VA,
September 29, 1876.
DEAR SIR:-I think you can safely
count on 1000 msjority in the Second
district for the State ticket, and on 5000
for Tilden. 1 cannot see how it will fall
under these figures. My opinion is, it
will be more rather than less | give
you this after campaigning ten days, and
gathering all the reliable information l
can. Our friends are generally united
and earnest, and in good spirits. They
mean business. l drop you this note tor
your encouragement and information.
The vote will be out IN the eastern
counties. Many meetings are being held,
and poles are being raised, and clubs
formed. The people are warming and
enthusing gloriously. l have been in
Berkeley, Jefferson, Morgan, Mineral,
Hampshire and Hardy, and now have
good news from Grant and Pendleton.
Gen. Gott will make no inroads in these
counties

DEAR SIR:-Noticing Il great many

and having reason to apprehend that an
attempt will be made to Introduce them

places for voting purposes, our county
executive committee have determined to

color or race. We have given notice of
the fact and intend to publish it next
week. We mean to station canvassers at
every precinct to notice and report all
violstions of the law by attempts to vote

you may think it expedient to advise a
similar cour in other border counties.
