THE Postal COMMISSION.

CINCINNATI, O., Sept. 30.-The Postal Rail-
way Commission at its session to-day examined
the officers Of the leading railroads terminating
in Cincinnati with regard to the transportation
bnsiness men in % ree:,rd % to the N ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
furnished while the fast mail was in operntion;
also, as to present arrangements. The railway
managers were Of opinion that the com ocnsa-
tion for the carriage Of mails now transported
In pouches without any clerk or agent was q very
much higher ratio than any other service, and
was proportionally too nigh. What was needed
was more thorough service BY postal cars
throughout the States OF Ohio and Kentucky,
az that would accommodate the local mai,
which was Of much greater Importance than
the through mail. There was great conflict of
testimony among merchants, bankers, and
publishers Of newspapers, some testifying that
they were as well served now as when the fast
mail was In operation, and others that there
was delay OF u hours in remittances and cor
respondencc between New York and Cincin-
natl. The Commission left tonight fo7 Louis

THE CATHEDRAL.

RISING BISHOP M'LAREN's TEMPLE TO GRADE.
At the present time the Episcopal Cathedral Of
SIS. Peter and Paul, corner Of Peoria md West
Washington streets, is closed. The edidce is being
raised It has, since Washington street
graded and paved. been about three feet eight
inches below the level Of the street. In order to
bring the building we'll up, it will be raised four
feet The edidce is Of such peculiar design that it
would interfere with its architectural proportions
it 1t were brought up sufficiently to put basement

ing ready for the application Of the jack-screw the
latter part of this week. The work was commenced
the 1lth OF last month. The raisng will rcquire
about four days, when the walls will be put ill.,
The work Is Of that peculiar description that It re-
qures remarkable ulcety in its operation on ac-
Of the building, especially at the chancel end. The
Cathedral is the Oldest stone. edifce in
Chicago. Its style is rare in this country,
being old English in design. 1t was built
about twenty-five years ago. In its present
shape it was put up under the direction OF
Mr. Wadskier, the architect, the late Bishop
Whitehousc giving it his personal attention. The
renewed after the raising is completed was among
the first OF its kind in th. West. The cost Of the
raising will amount to about S., 00U. To redeco-
rate the interior will cost about S. 600 additional.
The amount has not yet all been obtained but it s
believed that it will be before the work is COM
pleted, which will be III shout another mouth. In
