WASHINGTON July 21.-A long conference was
held on Saturday between Secretary Sherman and
Mr. Brady, the Second. Assistant PostmasterGeneral
at which tie subject of the transportation of coin
By mail from the Pacific coast was discussed. 1t
has not been learned what conclusions if any, were
reached
The transportation of specie from one point to an
other under the near approach to specie resumption
becomes an important question for the consideration
Of the Treasury Department. Heretofore the ex-
press companies have been relied upon for this pur-
pose, but their charges while perhaps not extrava-
gant, have necessarily aggregated large sums Two
three years ago Congress directed the transpOrta-
hon of mutilated currency and the distribution of
internal revenue stamps by the registered letter sys
tenn, aud the experiment proved entirely satisfac-
tory in the matter Of security, promptness, and
economy. The proposition of the Secretary Of the
Treasury to transport coin as thirdcass postal mat
Ter has already been alluded to in dispatches to The
Tribune. The law regarding the transportation Of
thlrd-elsss mail matter limits the weight of each
package to four pounds, upon which the rate of
postage is fixed at one cent per ounce.
package of four pounds of gold coin or
bullion would amount in value to about
$1,000 upon which the postage would be Ga cents,
while by express the charges for the same service
would reach So or $40. OF course any number of
iourpOundpsckages could be made up, SO that there
would really be no limit to the amount that could
Be 80 transmitted.
The Post Office Department would prefer TO han
de the coin sentasit does IT'S own stationery, enve-
opes, postal caids, postage stamps and other ma
tEial-in registered packages; bat this would make
the nominal expenses about six times great by
toe method proposed by Secretary Sherman. 1t is
maintained that there would be no actual increase
0expeuditure IN this arrangement, rs the apparent
outlay would be simply from one department of the
Ooyemment To another, and that the com might
thus be transported IN any ay most convenient for
ihe postal authorities 60 handle.
IL IS not improbable that the discussion Of this
Question may result in sOue arrangement by which
bot only the Government, but private individuals
nag have a safe and cheap method of transporting
com aud bullion through the mails.

Ex-Governor Tilden is interesting himself most ac-

will be to carry enough of these to make majority
of the delegation in the House Democratic The OBJ
ject most prominently before the minds Of these
managers is not so much TO increase the Democratic
majority in the next House of Representatives, as to
secure majority of the state delegations with
