DEAR TELLER:-I was not made
aware Of the change in the time OF the
departure of the mails from this place.
TIL 10 o'clock to-day. The mail to>day
had then left. and hence the letters
had prepared for Lewiston will be ono
day behind. The mail us now arranged
with the stage leaves here at 6 A. NJ,
proceeds to Dayton ts-day, remains
there till to morrow morning and ar
rives in Lewiston at 6 or 7 in the even
ing Of tomorrow. This makes it abou,
q hours longer than usual on the rad
The same is true with the return mail.
1t leaves Lewiston a, an early hour in
the morning. arrives at Dayton at nigh,
and starts for this place S, as to get
here at 4 p. NJ. making full 6 hours
longer in the transit. We can stand
this it all mail matter is put up in the
through bag. that is destined for
Lew ston and Walla Wnlla respectively.
Bnt as Wait,hurg is now made dis
tribufing office f r mail matter cast of
this place. II it has to be orerhauled at
Wni'shurg, unless the stage awaits for
the Distribution at ,ha, point The Lew
isten and Walla Walla mnils will have
TO lie over at Waitshurg till the next
| trip Of the stage. which would add 81
hours to the present timc for the trans
it. Hence the Importance Of having
all through matters going and return,
ing nlacel in through bag not 10 be
orerhanled at Wait>bury. The TEL.
i.rn arrived here to dav at ! r. NJ. instead
of 10 A. NJ. as formerly. The express
hoy il always sure to como through
with the stage and If any ssoppage nc
ours with the nnil all mater requiring

AT o meeting Of the leading Dem
oerats of the State, held at the Girard
House. Philadelphia. on Sunday OF
last week, on a comparison of NOES,
it was conceded that Dill and tie
Democratic State ticket were certain
ly defeated. IL was then agreed that
while keeping up a bold from. on the
State ticket, TO direct special atsen-
ton 10 their Congressional aud Leg
islative tickets.
Chairman Speer was then directed
to make a combination with Chair
man Devices, to arrange a coalition
with the Greenbackers; but this was
Indignantly refused by Devices, when
it was finally resolved 10 try and
make the fight on an anti-Cameron
howl. This accounts for the fierce
beating of nti-Cameron gongs now
going on in the Democratic camp.
Remember, friends, that the Dem
ocrats eoncede that their State ticket
is already beaten. Now for a rousing
majority for the district and county
tickets.
