oA' AOA, cuAy OOs
To the Editer of the Globe.
Isee that Thomas Cochran, Jr., in his
homily upon the May Fisk exhibition won
ders, among other things, how the proprie-
tors of the Opera House could let their
building for such purpose. Mr.. Cochran's
right to make this criticism is not question
ed, but what strikes me as little singular is,
that in ennumerating the different agencies
responsible for the exhibition in this city,
Mr.. Cochran should have entirely overlooked
an agency controlled by two members
of his own church denomination
the Pioneer Press, owned and edited by
Fred Driscoll and 10 Wheelock. which adj
vertised the attractions of the show for DAYS
in advance, and in language that no paper
having any honest pretensions to decency
would admit to its columns. And, having
contracted for this business, no element was
more pertinacious in the collection of it's
pound of flesh for the services rendered this
s'vagabond troupe of strolling danseuse''
than the element named. I have read some
where about plucking the beam out of ones
own eye before calling attention to the mote
in the eye of his brother, and I would
suggest to Bro. Cochran the propriety of
purifying his own church associates before
indulging in more homilies of the character
of that which called out this little screed.
Yours, IMPART1A11TY.

If we have ever said anything derogatory
of the character of Col. Mosby, now consul
at Hong Kong, we desire to take it back
without reservation. He has been at his
post but short time, yet he has discovered
and told of it too-that forty thousand
dollars of fees which belong to the govern
ment, collected before his arrival, have not
been accounted for, and he reports that, for
the last seventeen years, of the fees collected
under the law regulating Chinese immigra-
ton, in his opinion, at least two hundred
thousand dollars have not been reported to
the treasury. We feel called upon to praise
Col. Mosby's honesty and at the same time
commiserate him on his loss of caste and
position, for no man who exposes fraud can
hope to retain either standing or Office in
the Republican party.

Assuming that after the road has been

they now have through the Duluth road?

nesota wishes to supply the capital to build
the road, we should welcome them, but our
own citizens should not have their hopes or
fears preyed upon sufficiently to invest dol

Washburn, however, is entitled to credit

WdSHBURN'S LAST CONFIDENCE
GAME.

G1ME.
When Bill Washburn was engaged in buy
ing seat in Congress he promised to build
railroad from some point on the Duluth
road to Taylors Falls. He bamboozled the
people by sending out surveying party to
stake out line, and after election the mat
tor dropped. He has now hit upon plan
to have the people along the line build the
road, and he will count it as his compliance
with his PROMISE TO this end he has So
cured the transfer of a paper railroad, known
as the Taylors Falls & Lake
Superior railroad, to himself and
associates. This road is organized under the
general laws of the State, and has cost moth
ing more than the publication of it's articles
OF incorporation. The transfer was made
day before yesterday, and on yesterday Mr..
Washburn, through one of his organs, made
the following announcement:
The towns through which the road passes be-
tween here and White Bear. as we'll as Taylors
Falls, will at once be called upon to vote bonus
es to the extent allowed by law, without which
aid it is not proposed to attempt to build the
road. That the people will willingly and with
aAooAAGy IcbpOuu W ILLS CALL LleTc lS NOT G0o
least doubt.
1t will be seen that he is prompt in calling
on the people to build the road for him, and
he couples the demand with the
threat that he will do nothing himself. II
is generally understood, also, that Washburn
has secured large slice of the water power
at Taylors Falls, on both sides of the river,
which he proposes to hold as personal
speculation after the people along the line
have made it valuable by building railroad
to it.
There ought to be great deal of doubt
relative to "the people responding to this
CALL" The people of Taylors Falls
are anxious for railroad to connect them
with the outer world, and may be induced to
vote bonus. They will be very foolish,
however, if they do SO, as it is only a ques-
ton of time when the st. Paul, Saltwater &
Taylors Falls road will be extended to their
doors, without any bonus whatever. They
should profit little by the experience of st.
Paul, and let the railroads come to them, in
stead of going to the railroads. st. Paul

& st. Paul road to run through the city, Civ

The Fay the Ne,o Orleans CASTOR, House Is
Ram By Witness Marks.
Washington Special. July 2S]
John Sherman will find when he returns
to Washington that he will have some indip-
nant union soldiers to look after, whose
cases, in political sense, may be able to
meet the discharge of legless union soldiers
from the employment of the Senate. Some
time ago it was noted in these dispatches
that Col. Wright, president of an association
of Union soldiers and sailors in New Orleans.
had come to Washington to ask that some
of these men be given places in the custom
house, under Collector Marks. Secretary
Sherman at the time pretended to be verv
much exercised. He addressed letter
to Collector Marks, calling his atten
ton to section l, 754 of the revised statutes,
that provides for preference being given to
Union soldiers in appointments made in the
federal service. Wright actually returned to
New Orleans with that letter expecting to
get some of the soldier boys in; but be
writes back that Marks has paid no atten-
ton to the letter and has not made single
appointment in accordance with it. Wright
has also written that he is coming back to
make it lively for Sherman, and that if he
has no more authority to display in Louisi-
ana he cannot hope to get any of the votes
of the Republican delegates for that State in
the convention of 1880. It also appears
that Wright when he.was here presented q
remarkable showing about the New Orleans
custom house. and the fact that all charges
of Encouragement and corruption
against the custom house people are
ignored by the administration is some slight
evidence of the power of the returning
board rascals who control it. Marks, the
collector, owes his place to the work he did
for Sherman in running down jim Ander-
SOD, and the fact of Gen. Webster's expos
ure of Marks manipulations and connection
with the New Orleans tobacco ring having
no effect shows the value of his services.
But Col. Wright's statements match even
the tales of this tobacco ring. Wright
makes an affidavit, in the first place, that
twenty -seven members of the families of
Welles and Anderson, of the old returning
board, are upon the custom house rolls for
sinecure positions. Some of these people are
school children who have never entered
the custom house in their lives G.. b. An
derson, who has an 81 300 place, lives in the
country and does not come to the custom
house twice year, not even to draw his
pay, it being sent to him. Kenner, of the
returning board, has four brothers in sine
cure positions. Two of the Webers are also
upon the rolls in do-nothing places.
Throughout the entire force are friends of
the returning board. Marks himself, at the
head of the custom house, has been pro.
nounced corrupt scoundrel BY two different
agents of the department. within the last
two months, and yet he is as secure in his
position as he need he.

POSTAL REGULATIONS.

Some Of the Changes Recently Introduced
IN the Postal Servtce.
The new volume of postal laws and repu-
lations, prepared by A. b. Bissell, law clerk
of the department, and T. B. Kirb, of the
postmaster generals Office, has been COM
pleted. Postal officials say that the issuing
of this volume marks the beginning of new
era in the history of the department; for the
changes which it officially promulgates are
in many respects radical, both in depart
mental policy and the details of the service.
This is especially true of the register and
dead letter systems, the classification of do
nestle mail matter, and the regulations re-
speeding the delivery and dispatch Of mails.
Into this latter branch some Of the best fea-
lures of the English service have been intro
duced. The railway mail service, under the
admirable administration Of Mr.. Vail and his
equally capable successor, Supt. Thompson,
has been reorganized, and its regulations for
the first time incorporated into the BODY of
the postal laws.
The new regulations for the entry of SEQ
ond class mail matter are likely to become
of universal application. Although such
entry is optional with publishers, postmast-
ers are reporting to the department that
there seems to be sentiment Of approval
among publishers of this new feature. The
postmaster at st. Louis has reported that
every publication mailed at his Office has en-
tered; while at New York over 300 have al
ready done SO, including many Of the best in
the city. This is the principle which en-
countered much opposition in Congress last
winter, but one which the department has
been seeking to adopt, in one form or an.
other, since the passage of the act Of July
u, 1876, relating to advertising sheets. It
is believed that this, and the new plan for
the collection of efficient postage by the use
OF the postage-due stamps, will result in
considerable saving of revenue to the de-
partment.
The policy Of the department. respecting
the classification Of mail matter has changed
in almost every essential particular. Here
tofore the restrictions thrown around the
various classes were numerous, and the de-
partment was at constant war with the pub
lie respe sting what they regarded as very
iliberal treatment. The line at first class
matter has now been drawn at which it Il
commended is in consonance with the best in-
terests of the service, to-wit: personal cor
respondence and matter closed against in
spechon. Many articles which under the
old law were rated with letter postage be-
long now to the fourth class, and are subject
to Q postage charge Of one cent per ounce.
Another important change is made respect
ing the forwarding Of matter from one post
office to another, on request. Heretofore it
could only be done il case Of first class
matter; now second, third, and fourth class,
II fully prepaid, may be forwarded the OBJ
jeCt OF the department being to deliver,
