Postmaster james, of New York, has
called the attention Of the department
To the rema1 kable decrease In the sale
Of postage stamps in that city, which
for the quarter ending September 30 fell
from $5a2, GA to $3.50 487-a decrease of
$30,127.. Postmaster James attributes
this to the corrupt practices of country
posttnasters, who, he alleges, dispose OF
large quantities Of fraudulent postage
stamps In the city.
This affords the Administration rare
chance to 90 for Conkling's friends IL it
IL really anxious to get even on the
Rochester business, which we are dis
posed to doubt, however.

Virginia, at last, has got an indepen-
| dent candidate for Governor In the per-
son OF David Miller. An administra-
ton candidate has been promised from
Washington week after week, but some.
how he never came. In his place steps
forward Mr.. David Mill with appeals
to the repudiationists to support him.
The basis Of his platform appears to be
desire to get rid Of the State debt In
,me way or other; he Is not ct all par
tlcular how, II the debt is only wiped
OFT. In fact, he announces his willing
ness to accept the plan of any body
VAC will get Virginia out Of debt on the
cheapest terms. He suggests as an ad-
,stment that one-third OF the debt be
k rocked off on account OF the loss of
West Virginia, and that the residue
bs scaled in proportion to the loss Of
taxable property by Virginia during the
wr; If this does not suit he is will.
log to pay the bondholders what they
bought the bonds at, after these bonds
have been scaled.
This or some other adjustment, Mr..
Miller thinks, should be insisted on. It
can easily be enforced by legislation.
'Let the Governor and Legislature sus-
pend the collection Of taxes" he de-
clares, "refuse TO appropriate money for
the bondholders, and they will have to
come down at once"
''Such compulsory adjustment" Mr..
Miller winds up, twill save the State
from the ignominy Of reputation, and
also save the taxpayers millions of dol
lars"
After the debt of Virginia has been
cut down one.third, then scaled, etc..
there will scarcely be need for repudia-
lion. Such, however. is the platform on
which the so-called independent candi-
date for Governor will run against Col.

COL r. 3. Williams, who Is SO favor
ably remembered by our citizens as the
former superintendent OF the jackson
Railroad. and as one OF the most ex-
perlenced and successful railroad mana
uers and engineers In the South, Is on q
visit to our city, having recently return
ed from Costa Rica, Central America.
Several years ago Col. Williams was
engaged 10 take charge Of the great
enterprise Of constructing q railroad
from tho Caribbean Sea to the Pacific.
through this the richest and most pros
porous of the Central American States.
This enterprise was originally undertake
en- by Henry Meigs, the great railroad
contractor Of Peru, but the Costa Rica
government having declared the grant
ID Meigs forfeited, assumed charge of
the work, and Mr.. Minis and Col.
Williams, both of this State, were EN-
ployed to superintendent it..
rho difficulty of obtaining iaborers on
the low sea coast on account OF the
prevalence OF levers, and tho straiten-
ed financial resources OF Costa RIGA,
have impeded the prosecution Of the
work, but Of It's eventual and early COM
pletion and Its great value to the Gen.
trail American States, and as a new
route for travel and transportation
across the isthmus which separates the
two oceans, Col. Williams gives the
strongest assurances.
The terminus Of this road on the
Caribbean Sea will bring much nearer
TO our port the valuable commerce OF
the Central American States, the ex-
ports OF which have, hitherto, been mo-
nopolized by Great Britain. The coffee
production alone Of Costa Rica Ia very
large, and IL the export thereof could
be directed to this city, where 1t would
lind its nearest, best and most profita-
BE market, 1t would add largely to our
trade. Owing to the want of this avenue
of communication to the Caribbean
Ben. all the foreign trade with Costa
Rioa has hitherto been conducted
through Pacific ports.

The proposition referred to in the
DEMOCRAT Of many OF our leading mer-
chants to their landlords. the owners Of
the stores occupied by them, to obligate
themselves to pay twenty five per cent
advance on their present leases when the
subscription to the New Orleans Pacific
shall be made up, meets with general
acquiescence among the merchants. It
remains to be seen IL the property own
ers will act upon this proposition by
completing the comparatively small
amount needed to assure early compile
ton Of this most important enterprise.
The owners Of the stores, where re-
sponsible tenants make this offer, are
thus rendered handsome bounty for
their subscriptions. II they will SUBJ
scribe but 10 per cent Of their rents
the required amount would be made up,
and the landlords would realize an i'm
mediate profit Of Is per cent and
eventual profits Of still larger per
cent. 1t will be marvellous il there
should be any hesitation or delay on
the part of our property holders in act
ing upon such proposal as this. When

bales of cotton produced by Texas last

SENATOR STANLEY MATTHEWS is conf
dent of Republican victory in Ohio
this fall. He says there is not the slight
est doubt about the result of the cleo
ton, and that the Republicans are GER
tain to carry not only the gubernatorlal,
but the legislative ticket. The silver
question will absorb all other issues in
the campaign, but the Republican Con-
vention will adopt as plank in the plat
form resolution declaring in favor of
the RECOMMENDATION of silver, which will
be acceptable to all Republicans dispos-
ed to be dissatisfied on account of the
financial outlook. The very pronounced
policy which Secretary Sherman is pur-
suing in relation to the resumption of
specie payments, Mr.. Matthews thinks
will have an injurious effect upon the
party, and probably create considerable
dissension. This will lose the party more
votes, Mr.. Matthews thinks, than the
Presidents Southern policy, and if de-
feat does overtake the party, it will be
attributable to the financial policy now
being pursued. In regard to the Presi-
dents Southern policy, the opposition
is daily growing weaker, and by the time
the election occurs all evidences will have
disappeared.
