THE COUNTY, is waking up to the
fact that there are too many $4,000
postmasters. 1t certainly requires less
talent to run post office than to rln
a public schoolgirl principals of high
schools and academies are working OF
$4,000 and $1,000 a year. Taking
the salaries of postmasters and COM
pairing them with those of teachers,
ministers, and others, they are found
to be out of all proportion. Postoffice
work in the cities Is generally done by
assistants who get from $1,000 to $500
per year. There is no better chance
for economy, and it is altogether prob
able that it will be taken advantage Of.

had been no opportunity to cross ex-
anime this witness, that it Is not pre-
tended that the original corrupt bar
gain was known to the late Secretary
but came to his knowledge after the
death of his first wife, who was sis
ter G his present wife, and who is the
guilty party in making. this corrupt
bargain, that there was at least pos
sibihtY of some extenuating circum-
stances being brought to light upon the
trial. 1t is specimen of democratic
justice to an opponent They declare
him guilty Of high crime, tell the
witness in their hands to go, furnish
ing him means to leave with thus, pre-
venting any trial and giving the accus-
ed no opportunity to show his side of
the case. They are following the ex-
ample Of Governor Tilden of New
York, who, about year ago, in a
special message, called the attention
of the Legislature to the canal frauds
Of that state, making quite reputa-
ton for himself as a reformer. He
asked for authority to appoint Com
mission to investigate these frauds,
republican Senate gave him the desired
authority. He appointed four COM
missioners who made several reports
showing that the state had been de
frauded of millions Of dollars, naming
the guilty parties, not one Of whom
has been punished and only a mere
pittance Of the money recovered. He
suspended the Auditor for making
known the fact, that after Gov Tilden
had called attention to certain con-
tract as being full of fraud he (Tilden)
recommended the paying of $50, 900,
by the Auditor, upon this same fraud
ulent contract. What contrast with
the republican administration under
President Grants order to sslet no
guilty man escape" Compare the
two.

WASHINGTON, March 9th, 1876. !

Correspondence of Reporter. a.
WASHINGTON, March 9th, 1876. ~
Messrs. EditorS:- ~
The infrmities Of human nature
have again been prominently brought
to the surface by the downfall of the
late Secretary Belknap. 1t is sur
prising that person who occupied the
exalted position in the administration
of the Government, and in the conf
dence of the people, that Gen. Bel
KNAPP did, should betray the trust con-
fded in him by Gen. Grant and the
Republican party, and sell himself for
a mess of pottage. Th ere is but one
sentiment amongst the friends of the
administration in relation to it, which
is, that he should be punished to the
extreme extent of the law for offences
like his. President Grant has given
directions to the District Attorney of
this District to proceed against him
immediately-that his punishment
may follow as soon as possible after
his crime becomes known. The demo-
Gratis of the House undertook to make
political capital out Of Gen. Belknap' 5
down fall by asserting that it was the
first instance of the kind in the history
ofthe country, evidently believing it no
crime for Secretaries Thompson and
FLOYD. under President Buchanan, to
steal their millions from the Govern
ment, as they did previous to going
into the rebellion-their efforts to des-
troy the Union, in the minds of the
democracy, being justification of
their robbing Uncle Sam. The democ-
racy make great display of present.
ing articles of impeachment against
the fallen Secretary but take good
care to have the only witness against
him leave the country 80 that the i'm
parchment muse necessarily fall.
There are many suspicious circum-
stances connected with the running
away of this witness, Mr.. Marsh.
The plea of ignorance cannot be urged
as an excuse for it. as Mr.. Clymer is
we'll aware of the necessity, even in
cases of examination before Justices
of the Peace. of the Importance of Sc
curing the attendance of the witless
at Court, how much greater the nee
essity in case of this magnitude. 1t
should be borne in mind that there
