THE HARD MONEY CLAP-TRAP
LEADERs.-"he clap-trap leaders of the
Republican party who were piping their
hard-money notes for the past five years,
were brought up by sound turn and at
short notice In the Senate by the intro
dnctlon of the resolution of Senator
Bayard to repeal the legal-tender clause
of the "rag-baby." They have turned
away from the resolution as though it
concealed SINE horrid political danger.
Why is that these "hard money" men
view with distrust this resolution, and
will not hear the proposition of the
President to REDEEM and cancel the
greenbacks with the coin in the Treas
uryP This latter proposition is merely
In the interest of "hard money" The,
fear that these measures will put a sto
to the deception they have been enable
"a. use to forward their ends. They ar
not honest in their professions. We fin
few such "hard money" men. as tt

THE PosT OFFICE DEPARTMENT.

A comparison of our Post Office De- |
partmen. returns and that of England is
both interesting and instructive. For
the year ending July 1st, 1879, the total
revenues of our Post Office Department
amounted to $30,04l, ,9S2, while the ex-
penditures were $33, ,073, ,437, deficiency
of over $3,000,000. The British Post
Office Department on the other hand
shows surplus Of l2,l70,00O, with the
receipts about the same for both coun-
tries. On the face these figur s would
seem to indicate great extravaganza in
the United States Post Office Depart
ment. This difference shows that the
same system of rates of postage are not
appropriate TO both countries. The
United States ought in justice to our
heavily taxed laboring population who
receive very few letters, but are taxed as
much on their tea, sugar, coffee, tobacco,
whisky, clothing, &C., as the wealthy, to
return to the original system of making
the PostOfiice Department pay its own ex-
peuses. An idea of the difference between
England and the United States may be
gathered from the fact that in England
the number of Post Offices is not quite
$4,000, while in this country they num-
Der upward of 10000. We give some
interesting facts from the English Post
Office Report. Nearly 100000 more
letters, 100000 more postal cards,
7,775, 900 more book packages and circu-
lars, aud 2,337,OOO more newspaper.
were delivered than in 1877. The in
crease in rcspondence of all kind
was hard on 60,00U,000, an average o
forty five letters per head of the popula
ton. Actual counting shows that day.
work in the East Central District offic,
of London consists of one million let
ters, and the largest number of letter!
and mail packages of all sorts received
daily by any one firm or company il
London is about 5000. The averag
number of letters, exclusive of posts
cards, books and newspapers, delivere
yearly per head was in the London dis
trict, 70; in the Liverpool, 43 in Epe
land and Wales, 81; in Scotland, 2e
in Ireland, IA; in the United Kingdom
so. The postal telegraph forwa, ded du
ing the year nearly 25,000, 900 message
over 100000 of which passed throug
the Central Telegraph Office in Engan'
Near two hundred and eighty-six mi

the newspapers, clubs, &c. The Post
Savings Banks had 1,S92,756 deposito
at the end of the year, and the amou
to their credit was the vast sum
$152,057, ,8l5, the average balance to
credit Of each open account being oy
$50.

New York Sum-
Three weeks ago Moses Isaacs, a
cigar maker, quilted his home at 116
Hester street, threatening to never
return. Since then his wife and six
teen-year-old son have kept up a con-
slant search for him. Learning that
he IA at a Hebrew meeting in Essex
street, near Broome, last evening,
they went to the Eldridge street DO
lice station for an officer, but Sergeant
Chrystie refused to send one on the
ground that a warrant must first be
obtained. Half an hour later Isaacs
was dragged into the station by nine
stalwart Hebrew matrons. Lifting
him bodily from the sidewalk, they
had brought him struggling and cry
ing loudly for help through the streets.
They flashed their eyes s~cornfully at
the sergeant, and demanded that he
DO locked up, saying if the police
were afraid to arrest a wife. deserter
they were not.
All, mein Gottl Sergeant, ex-
claimed the trembling Isaacs, mein
frau she say me no good looking, mein
so1 he beat me, and | couldn't stay in
no such house like dat"
He was allowed to go amid the loud
protests Of the women.

OUE neighbor published last week
few extracts from the speech of Gar
field on the appropriation bill. The
position lily becomes Mr.. Garfield, for
he occupied and contended for the
very same thing in 1867, that he now
so bitterly denounces the Democrats
for. The New York Herald, the
leading Independent paper of the
country, has this to say of it:
Even if all Mr.. Garfelds state.
ments had been true and given with
out exaggeration, the speech would
have become almost any other mouth
better than his, inasmuch as his own
previous declarations and votes on this
subject come within the scope Of his de
nunciations. If facts, logic, candor,
and personal consistency are of any
value in parliamentary eloquence, Mr..
Garfeld's speech lacks them all. 1t is
mere passionate harangue, better
suited to the stump than TO legisla'
tive assembly.
