WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-During the
last session of congress Superintend,
ent Thompson, of the railway mail
service, wrote letter to the post
master general advising an addition
al appropriation for the southern
fast mail service, which letter was
transmitted to congress and the ap-
preparation made. Up to the pres
ent time it has been impossible to
make arrangements with the southern
lines to put it in operation
there was meeting to day of south
ern managers in this city at which
an arrangement was completed and it
was agreed to put it in effect on the
28fh instant. By the terms of this
arrangement the fast mail will leave
Boston at six p. m. and New York at
4:35 a. m, arriving in Washington
at 1850 a. NJ, and leaving
Washington at II a. M. it will
arrive in Richmond at 2:46 p. NJ, At
lanta $50 a. m. and New Orleans the
following morning, which will be
equivalent to the saving of one busi-
ness day. By this arrangement not
only New Orleans, but all intermed-
ate points between Washington and
New Orleans will be benefited, as
this line will perform local service.
The mail which arrives at At
lanta, by the present arrange
ment, at II p. m. will arrive
at $50 a. NJ, and all other cities and
villages will receive corresponding
benefits in the saving of time, Not
only will towns on the line of this
route receive such benefits, but by
its connections with lateral lines, the
entire service in the south will be
greatly improved. This train will
also, by connections from Rich
mond, continue south via. the At
lantic Coast line, via Washington,
Charleston and Savannah to Jack
sonville, decreasing the time to the
extent of one business day to the
cities named, together with their in
term points, also to points on
lateral lines. In addition to the
above train, there is also special
fast train on the Virginia Midland
railroad between Washington and
Danville, which leaves Danville at
1O:4O p. M, ON the arrival of the
train which leaves New York at
4 p. m. This Virginia Midland
special train arrives at Danville, Va,
at 7:45 a. m. in time to connect with
the Piedmont Air Line train for the
south, which takes in the connection
with other fast trains and gives the
south a double daily fast mail SER
vice that is unsurpassed elsewhere.
The southern railway managers very
kindly placed trains at the disposal
of the department, which it prompt
ly accepted, knowing and appreciat-
ing the value of such service to the
patrons of the postofice department.

Our Court HoUsE.--It is to be hoped
that the commissioners of Nez Perez county
will consider the Importance and the ne
cessity of the sought for object prayed for
in the petition to them now being SO gen.
orally circulated and signed by the citizens
and give us that much needed requirement
for our future Importance, respectable
county buildings. Nez Perez county alone
and it is not possible from its lack OF i'm
portance-is poorer furnished in the matter
of county buildings than any other county
in the Territory. Certainly it is not from
its inferior position in the Territory or from
its want of wealth of tributar, and rich re-
sources; then it must be an occasion of lack
of energy on the part of the inhabitants, a
sensible spirit of Indifference to advance the
degree of wealth and influence of the coun-
ty by enhancing the value of public and
private property. A photograph of the ex
terror of Lewiston would most certainly re
pei any favorable impsession that might b.
made in the mind of distant capitalists
gathered as it must be from the truthful re
ports that continue to GO abroad to tn
world pertaining to those requisites pos
sessed by us to SO great degree, in tn
matter of climate, soil and natural resources
but was it generally known to capitalists tn
true inwardness of our commercial working
our greatness in this respect would overcom
our weakness in the other.
