THE POSTAL SERVICE.

The annual report of the Postmaster-GeD-
eral has been published in advance Of the
meeting of Congress. Among the recommen
dations contained in the report are the fol-
lowing: .....
That necessary authority be given by law
to enable the Postoffce Department to accept
the general rules of the Postal Union respect.
ing the payment of indemnties for registered
articles lost or destroyed. That foreign books
by mail be made duty free is another recon-
mendation. 1t is suggested that it be made the
duty of the Department to give and take re-
cepts for registered matter only when request
ed by the sender. 1t is pointed out that the
Department cannot be expected to be solfsus-
tanning. With reference TO the recent minority
report of the special Commission on Railway
Transportation in connection with the aggre-
gate payments for the mail service, that the
South had more than her proportion in 1860,
and less in 1875 the Postmaster General says
that from this it might be inferred that there
had been unjust discrimination against the
Southern roads in the adjustment of pay for
carrying the mails, but such is not the case.
The rates of pay are the same on all the
roads on which the amount and character of
the service are similar. Itris true that great
er rates of pay are allowed elsewhere than in
the South, because the service is greater. On
one route from New York City, the average
daily weight of mails is thirty-six tons, while
no road South of Maryland carries more than
six tons of mail a day, and the same dispro-
portion exists between nearly all the North
ern and Southern Railroads,

GOVERNOR SIMPSON.

Under date of the 18th instant, Governor
Hampton publishes his proclamation, trans
ferring the Office of Governor to Hon. W. D.
Simpson, Lieutenant Governor. In his proc
lamation announcing the transfer, Governor
Hampton says:
1t is my duty to make public announcement
that serious injury, resulting from painful
accident, has produced physical inability on
my part to discharge the powers and duties OF
| the office of ''the Governor of the State OF
South Carolina" and that the Constitution OF
| this Commonwealth in such case, devolveS the
same upon the Hon. w. D. Simpson, Iieuten-
ant-Governor of this State
| 1t is my pleasure to add that the honors and
burdens thus transferred by the organic law
of the land, could be transferred to no more
worthy or competent hands.
In conformity with the proclamation OF
Governor Hampton, Lieutenant Governor
Simpson has assumed the duties of Governor,
making official proclamation of the fact. in
which he says:
In making this announcement, no words
can express the sorrow which pervades this
entire Commonwealth at the occurrence OF
this calamity to our beloved Chief Magistrate
ana State sorrow Snareu more largely NY
no one than him to whom the hOnors and bur-
dens of this high office have thus been trans
ferred.
1t is generally conceded that the cares and
responsibilities of the Office of Governor
whether temporarily or permanent y-could
devolve upon no more worthy man, as sue
cessor of the patriotic Hampton, than him to
whom the office has thus been transferred "by
the organic law Of the State
1t is not probable, in view of the circum'
stances, that Governor Hampton will qualify
as Governor for the second term to which he
has just been chosen by the people of bis
State. The Legislature to assemble next
week, will ndoubtedly elect him to the posi-
tion of U. S. Senator, to supply the vacancy
to occur in the Senatorial representation from
this State on the 4th of next March and,
much as the people may regret to lose the
services of their "beloved Governor" it will
be source of pride to them to know that
they are represented in the councils of the
nation by one so patriotic, conservative, no.
bic and good.

A number of pudding" tickets, social in
alleged to have been used by the Democratsed,

Several gentlemen have taken samples of them
to the White House for inspection by the
President. He examined them; with much
interest, and was anxious to know the manner
of their fraudulent use. If he had sent for
one of the Cincinnati ballot box suffers whom
he has released, he could be initiated into all
the mysteries Of the business. The "stal-
warts in the Republican party think now
that the President has thrown himself into
their arms. One of them said to-day, after
reading the Presidents views as given last
night, that the old-line Republicans had not
seen anything emanate from the White House
since Lincoln proclamation emancipatng the
slaves, which would give them SO much pleas

White House to-day, including Representa-
tive Harry White, of Pennsylvania, Post
master SnOwden, of Philadelphia, Col. Mosby,
Col. Keogh, chairman of the North Carolina
Republican Committee, Commissioner Raum,
President devoted nearly the entire day to
conversation with these gentlemen, and was
warmly congratulated bysome Of them on his
change of views. ~, .,lnq .lr; .4.X
The President took occasion to observe that
he does not consider that there will be any
change In his policy, because his policy has
always been to uphold the constitution and
the laws and enforce the eC'lal rights of all
citizens. Col. Mosby said to-day that in his
opinion the battle Of 1880 is already fought and
won, and Grant is the man. The new crusade,
which it has been determined by the Repub-
lican leaders shall be inaugurated against the
''SOlid South, !" has now formally been entered
upon. Of one thing these leaders. are con-
vinced, that the best way for them to secure
'''Solid North" is to keep up ssSolid South.''
This is the plan upon which the last two cam
paigns of the Republican party were conduct
ed. Mr.. Zachariah Chandler managed the
campaigrr ii{ 1915. When the Southern Re-
publicmrs applfedto him for funds he refused.

on the same principles exactly, but was more
diplomatic in his language. When the South
ern Republicans came to him for money, he
talked sweetly and said he would see what
could be done, and nothing was done. It is
said, by the way, that the Republican cam
paign 0 committee did aid the cause I'm, the
