More About Mail Contracts.

The Prince on1s MON very justly
comp that 1, ! large sized Affieaa
is concealed in the manner of letting
mail contracts this year, and we agree
that, an ex plapation from the depart
ment asto how ball contracts in Min
.nesota were let to one man residing
at Warrington, ignoring all bids froul
this state entirely, would make toler7
ably Interesting reading, to the thou
sands Of bidders at least if not to the
general public Would it Lot be ad-
visable; under the. circumstances for
the second assistant postmaster gener-
all to publish a report in detail Of all
BIDS received byhin ana the amounts
respectively at which the contracts
were let, TO- the Washington gentle
man who now advertises to- sublet to
the bidders, He might also add the
information as to how the Washington
monopolist obtained access to tile
amounts of. the 9local1bids IF he did,
if, be, did not how lie happened to I'M
derbid them all. Meantime we would
advise local bidders not to accept con-
tracts from the Washington gobbler
unless he pays we'll for it, and to re-
member that in carrying the mails for
him they have; no security whatever
for their pay from the government and
may get euchered out Of the whole.
We hope, however, the matter viii be
fully and speedily explained, Speak
out. Mr.. P. M. o.. do not let the i'm
preston obtain, if, not true, that any
foul. play was INDUCED in.-Brainerd

The Louisiana Democrat. [volume] (Alexandria, La.) 1845-1918, 1879-03-19

"A SUMMARY of Gen. Buffers re-
port on The electoral fraud has been
given to the press. He fads that a
majority of the votes cast in Louisiana
were given for the Tilden electors and
Gov. Nichols. That If ssthe bulldozed
parishes" were thrown ont portion
Of the Tilden electors would have re-
ceiyed certificates of election, and that
Packard would have been elected as
governor. The general states en-
phatically that the counting in OF
Mr.. Hayes was obtained by a series Of
gross and upjustifable Irregularities
and frauds" As this is the judicial
opinion of an unquestionably able
lawyer, it will deepen the conviction
of the American people--a conviction
long since formed-that the charge of
fraud is not a Democratic Islander, but
a judicially established and historical
Washington Post.
The Louisiana Democrat. [volume] (Alexandria, La.) 1845-1918, 1879-03-19
"P0st" Notes.

The Washington Post, the organ
of the National Democracy, is an
ably edited and exceedingly well
conducted journal, and, in the fight
in the last Congress, with the Re-
publican party, did yeoman service.
Its editors have good cause to
DO s. of services we'll performed, and
from the issue of the 9th inst. we
Gull few paragraphs, to show our
r ld rs, now that we have won, how
the Post editors do some growing:
No more politicel majorities will be
made by Radical bay onets.
Title thieves neen not apply for con =
firmation to a Democratic senate.
The veto power and civil service
patronage are about all that is left Of
the Radical party.
1t was fitting that tue Radical Sen.
ate should die trying tn pcrpetuate
fraud and tyranny ~ the name of
freedo,n. The ruling passion was
strong in death.
Mr.. II. B. Hayes needn't presume
that his reference to himself as s.tie
Pr silent OF the United States" viii be
mistaken for SARCASM. 1t is cool
lmpudenee.
=s -
Backing down from its extravagant
demands on the public Treasury, at
the demand of Democratic lionse,
was the chief business Of the Senate
during its closing hours.
Tie difference between the cold
logic Of established facts aud a howl
OF partisan prejudice is well illustrated
by the n,ajoii !, and minority reports
OF tie Potter committee.
1t is understood that Mr.. Edmunds
W i be lIonored with the Chairman
ship of tue Committee on Private
Land Claims, position where his
nnqnestioned legal ability will find
ample scope. Y
1t is not so much the fact of his po-
litical demise that disgruntles Mr..
Oglesby as the disgracefnI manner Of
his taking off. His sad thoughts con-
stantly recur to the epitaph Of the man
who was kicked to death by jackass.
The officials of The Senate are very
indignant at the conduct of Mr.. Ed
muBds and his associates in forcing an
extra session, and thereby sending
them ont in the cold in early spring.
time when desirable places in official
pastures are all pre.emptod.
We understand that Mr.. Conkiingss
friends are pressing him strongly tor
the chairnlanship Of the Committee on
Revolutionary Claims. The great tall
ents of tire distinguished senator ad-
mirably qualify him for this broad
field of honorable public service.
"There is not so much sneering at
the Administration at the Capital as
there used to be-" remarks q personal
organ of Mr.. Hayes. We predicted
that the time would cone when the
Administration would be less sneered
at. 1t is fulfilling our prediction By
rapidly getting below the level Of an
active contempt.

THE MEXICAN WAR VETERANS.


General Shields, The old hero and
veteran of two wars, a few days be-
fore the adjournment of Congress,
made an appeal in behalf ofthe Mex
ican veterans, though brief, was tru-
1y eloquent and pointed. Rehear.
sing the daring march Of the ten
Thousand over the mountains and
into the valley of Mexico, he said:-
ask thousand six hundred men on
the 18th Of day of September, 1a47,
crossed those ramparts, captured the
city, a city containing two hundred
thousand iphabitants and defended by
thirty thousand disciplined soldiers.
Give me any other Instance of the kind
in history. Why, sir, the army was
hardly sufficient to police the city after
they captured it, When I myself
stand here and look back at that, it
looks even to me more like fable than
reality. l shall never forget the in-
significant appearance we cut when
we got into the plaza of the city of
Mexico. Happily, though, they
thought we were only the advance
guard of some tremendous army. |
recollect an old English miIitare who
was there, and after he looked at the
little band he said, SIS this the army2"
