Postal Car Service Threatened

WASHINGTON, November 2s.-Postmas-
ter General Key says that in three months
most of of the postal cars now running will
be taken offunless Congress makes a speedy
and considerable appropriation to retain
them. He fears that nothing less than the
withdrawal OF these cars will cause Congress
to treat this branch of the service with suf-
ficient liberality. He is determined not to
overdraw the present appropriation, for if
the service is crippled he wants the respon-
sbility located at once where it belongs. He
says that ii the postal cars should be with
drawn for lack of funds, it will cause clam
or which will bring Congress to terms in
short order. He believes that the people en-
Joy the conveniences afforded by postal cars
sufficient to be willing to pay for the service,
and they will compel their servants so extend
the necessary rellei when once they see the
service crippled. Judge Key is trying to OPP
crate his department at the lowest sum pos
slble, but the service grows rapidly, and
economy which destroys the efficiency of the
Department is quickly noted by the people,
who are more intimately connected with
this branch OF Government business than
any other.

We have always been opposed to the pol
icy OF biennial sessions of the Legislature.
In this progressive age, there are matters
presenting themselves constantly for con-
sideration, which may not be of sufficient
Importance to Justify the Governor in call
ing an extra session, but which ought to be
shaped for the good of the State. The diff.
flculty has always rested, not with the an
nual sessions of the Legislature, but with
the men sent to Richmond to constitute the
Legislature. If our most prudent and we'll
balanced citizens were elected to that body
those who felt sincere interest in the well
fare OF the Commonwealth, and who would
devote their time and labor earnestly to
the necessary legislation, and then adjourn,
annual sessions would be far better than
biennial. AS it is, it would be just as well
not to have any session, for there is gener-
ally more harm done than good.
We hope the present session will be an
exception to the general rule, and that an
early adjournment will be reached, after
all essential legislation called for shall
~ oo'io"'h iA"'eu' Liz people are
beginning to understand their interests and
will closely watch the proceedings of the
body now in session, as we'll as the course of
each member. Hereafter there will be higher
standard demanded for members of the legis-
nature. Irlflers have been in the front long
enough, and the average voter is consider
ing his own responsibility for the manage
ment heretofore. We will have more con.
science in politics in the future.

1t is stated that there is a League OF Social
lists, Communists, and NihiliSts ramilied
throughout all Europe, pledged to assassi-
nate all the Kings and Emperors in the
East. The recent attempts on the lives of
the Emperor Of Germany, King Of Spain
and King of Italy was but the intiatory
step of the plot. We do not doubt the
nth of the statement, nor are we surprised
that it is so. The repressons of despotlsm
cannot last forever; and while the assassin's
dagger or bullet may not be the best means
to throw off the tyranny, nor could it, if sue
cessful in its bloody work, yet it is but a
method of expressing the deep undercur-
rent Of feeling that exists throughout the
realms of the crowned heads. The senti-
ment will grow and strengthen even under
such repressive legislation as was recently
enacted in Germany, and will surely some
day be felt in the aggressiveness OF it

Mr.. Moody has been preaching some very
practical sermons in Baltimore. Last week
his theme was laying up treasures in
Heaven" and in the course of his remarks
he said that A. L. Stewart and Cornelius
Vanderbilt died paupers-that they could
not take copper of.their worldly goods with
them, and if they had not laid up treasures
in Heaven, they were poor indeed. 1t is well
enough to think about this patent truth, es-
pecially is it appropriate that those who are
grasping and grinding, and restless in the
search for what men call riches, to ponder it
at this season of the year. They have more
than their wants require, and if they desire
to put it out at good interest, let part of it
be given to the suffering poor-let it bring
gladness to some sorrowing heart-some
desolate home. 1t will be well invested-a
treasure stored away that will DEFY the
corroding of time and the assaults of rob-
bers, for it has been said of just such invest
ments-'iliasmuch as We did it unto one of
these ye did unto me-" More men are
made miserable here and hereafter by
their inordinate lust Tor gain--their craving,
delying after riches, than from all other
causes. And when accumulated and the ar
Engagements about completed it was calcu-
lated would make the possessor comfortable
and happy, summons comes to leave it all
for others to squabble over and disslpate. Is
it not wiser anG better to lay up some of these
treasures in Heaven, by giving to those whom
Providence has afflicted with poverty, and
whoare so situated, il may be, to draw out and
cultivate the better nature of the more pros
porous and highly favofed in this worlds
goods. The winter season is a good time to
lay up treasures of this kind.

tBy the Governor,
flames McDonald,
Secretary of the Commonwealth"


The iStaIe interviewed several United
States Senators from the South few days
ago on the political situation. Gen. Nor
gan, of Alabama, Gov. Garland, of Arkan-
sas, and Congressman Manning, of Missis-
sippi. Each and all of them declared that
the unity of the Democracy il the South,
was the primary thought-that there should
be no division on the currency, the tariff,
or indeed any principle or policy or gov
ernmept administration, but a solid DEM
ocratic South in 1880. They seem 70
regard all other phases of the political sit
uation as secondary, and treated them quite
indfferently when questioned about the cur
rency, the tobacco tax, &c. With this spirit
prevailing in the South, is it not natural that
there should be solid Republican North?
1t is sectional crime to subordinate the
material interests of the South to the fanat-
icism of sectional politics and politicians
So long as the politicians insist upon solid
Democratic South, SO long will there be a
solid Republican North, AID just so long
will the practical, business progress and
prosperity of the South be impaired and
paralyZed.

All accounts from Washington unite in
the conclusion that an humber set of states
men have never assembled in the National
Capital than the present Democratic rep
resentatves. Their course for the past two
sessions had so thoroughly Disguised the
people, that it was found necessary to offer
a severe rebuke to such trifling with the
public interests, which was administered in
the recent election. The clamor about fraud {,
the farcical exhibits of Glover and Potter,
with their investigating committees, the
reckless disregard of the public service id
the sham economy legislation, and the en-
tire absence of everything like statesman
ship in the conduct of the business of the
country, aroused an earnest resentment
from the people, which has had very sub
DUNG effect upon the Reformers and Fraud
shriekers. Instead of the jubilant and i'm
perious manner which distinguished the
Democracy year ago, we find that be-
coming modesty, if not humiliation, char
acterizes them this session-instead of ag-
crossing and defylng, policy of lodging
will be adopted, and all the ingenuity they
possess be called into action to prevent an
exposure of their shortcomings. The Re-
publicans are confident, well disciplined,
with able and experienced leaders, and will
make it anything but agreeable to the re-
trenchers and Reformers for the next three
months.

that IN this country there are the sure 1ndica-

Richer harveStS than were ever garnered are add

ant crops of corn and cotton are Just being gath
cred, peace and plenty are within borders,
and the year so swiftly passing will be
membered as being the dividing line between the
depression OF the past and the hopefulneS of the
future. The assured return of specie payments
will add to the confidence and stability of com.
mercial affairs, and also become the chief agen-
cles in promoting renewed activity in trade.
