The SteubenyIIIe Post Office.

1t now appears that there is to be n
vote all round at Steubenville as to who
shall be Postmaster. The Gazette Of yester.
day evening announces in doublcleadcd
editorial that the Postmaster General al
Washington has been communicated with
by the Secretary Of the Democratic Coun.
" Committee in reference 10 the elec.
ton ordered by the Republican City
Committee for the 18th, and that he
ia, replied to the following effect:
"Thc order was not authorized by the
PostoiIice Department, nor by the Presi-
dent, nor upon consultation with them.
AZ the notice for the election was not
officially ordered or authorized, the result
would Of course not be binding upon the
Department, nor upon the President.
The Department recognizes the right Of
the patrons Of that Postoiiice to hold an
election IL they are disposed to do 80
upon their own motion, and il report
Of the result Of such an election should
be forwarded to the department it would
he considered in case Of vacancy or
change there.
On the strength Of this letter from The
Postmaster. General, the Chairman Of the
"Democratic City Central Committee" at
SteubenSiIIe appears in print with
rival notice to that OF the Chairman Of the
Republican Committee, setting forth that
on Saturday next, the 18th, there will
he an election for Postmaster Of the city
OfSIeubenvilIe "aI which all pltrons Of
the ice,Iirrespective Of party, race or
color mark the vNstueSs oil Democratic
liberality these days. will be entitled to
vote"
"ln case no candidate receives u ma.
jOrity OF all the votes cast, there will be
second election held on Saturday Oct.
2Olh, at the same hours and at the same
places, the candidates being the two high.
eat candidates at the previous election"
We presume that next Saturday will
be lively day at SteubcnvilIe. The
great rivalry will be to poll as many votes
as possible at the competitive voting
places. The Democracy have opened
wide the doors and called on the vox
pOpnli 10 roll in freely without fear OF
interruption. They interpret the Post
master Generals letter as encouraging
them 10 give expression to their prefer.
ence, and while it will bear that interpre.
tation it is about as guarded a docu.
ment as we have read for some time.
The wise thing for the Democracy to
do is to pick out the very fittest Rcpubli.
can they can find in Steubcnville for the
Office, and let the people Of that city, as
well as the Department at Washington
zee that they are not after anything in
the nature Of partisan victory, but sim.
ply desirous to get capable officer who
will be acceptable to all classes of patrons.

THE CHARTER ELECTIONS.

One Of the valid objections 10 tho charter
that waa forced npou Chicago by tho ballot
box stui1ing Of the bummora who thought 1t
would temporarily serve their purposes was
thai It br,ngs the municipal election in tho
spring, and adds another elemont to the po-
litica1 turmoil Of largo city. Two bills
have hcon introduced into tho Legislature 10
correct this objection. One, introduced by
Mr.. RIDDLE, provides for changing the day Of
tho charter election 10 the ganno tlato ns tho
gone1ni election In tho fall +; tho other, intro
tl,,ced by A1r. KEnoE, provides for changing
tho charter election from the third Tueslay
in April to tho first Tuesday in April, whom
the town election is held. Either bill dis
1sonses with one extra and needless election,
but of tho two Nlr. KEuoE'a will DO OF much
groater service TO Chicago. II tho town
elections Of Inst spring had occurred
on tho same day as tho city election,
wo would havo boon spared tho dis
grace and outrage Of tho ballot-bo1
s.utI,ng md tho tedious litigation that has
grown out Of 1t. In caso both elections woro
held OIL tho Same day, the entire voting pop
,1lation would voto for town officers, while,
under tho prcscnt system, only tho ot1lce-
seekers and their clans Of rotatners can be
t1sumtuod and cartod to tho polls. Tho city
election, too, would afford The full number
of yotinu.places. and would rcoufre actua1

number Of voting places Ia small, not uccos-
