There is much in these figures that
are very suggestive. Nebraska, with but
one member of Congress, has twenty-six
Presidential pOstOfices, while Tennessee,
with ten members of Congress, has but
seventeen Presidential pOstOffices. In
Nebraska there are twenty-siX Presiden-
tial pOstOffices to one Congressman, and
in Tennessee there is trifie less than
two. Colorado has one member of Con
gress to twenty-One Presidential post
offices, and North Carolina has seven
members of Congress to thirteen Presi-
Dental pOstOfices. 1t will be noted how
vastly the Northern States Overtop the
Southern States in business and intellec-
tual growth as shown in these figures,
as pOstOffice receipts are regarded as
a pretty true criterion of the business
and Intellectual activity of respective
localities.
Even in the past eight months there
has been marked increase in the num-
Der of Presidential pOstOfiees in several
of the States:

THERE is prospect of some contest
over the confirmation of several census
supervisors. These Offices are of small
consequence, and the pay is but $500; but
from the amount of warmth displayed
in making selections, one would
think them equal to foreign missions OF
the first class. The Democrats say that
it was the understanding when the law
was passed that they were to have some
of the fat. Speaker Randall is on his
ear about several of the Pennsylvania
appointments, and had an interview
with Pendleton, requesting the Senate tt
sit down heavily upon such as were dis
tasteful. There has seldom been so mucf
feeling about $500 offices.

This increase, it should be remembered,
is only for eight months. Should the same
rate keep up for the next ten years it
would work out some startling results.
1t will be noted that Illinois ranks next
to New York, and, in the past eight
months has swelled her Presidential
pOstOffice list 10, while the Empire State
swelled hers IA. Massachusetts,, which
is now considered of slow growth, gained
4, while Michigan gained IA. Kansas
jumped from 33 to 90 and Minnesota
from q to 80.
The increase of Presidential postOfices
in the past eight months has never be-
fore been equaled in the same length of
time

THE Senate Finance Committee last
week, by vote of five to four, decided to
report adversely the Bayard legal tender
resolution. Senator Jones, of Nevada
was absent, but, in view of his we'll.
known position upon the question, his
vote, by agreement, was recorded against
the resolution, with those of Voorhees,
Beck, Ferry, and Allison. Messrs. Bayard

LUKE PRYOR, the new Alabama Sena-

arrived Thursday, last week, to take his
seat. The same day he was sworn in,
and upon attempting to return from the
Capitol to the hotel he got lost and wan
dered about the numerous avenues and
intersecting streets putting him off the
track. He finally got young man to

The Postal Service.
Special Telegram to the Inte,-Ocean.I


and Post Roads has agreed upon a bill
providing that the Postmaster General
Shall establish three or more return
letter Offices" to which all miSdirected
letters shall be sent, opened and return
ed to writer, instead of having them all
sent to the Dead Letter Office, as is now
the rule. 1t is the purpose to establish
one at New York, another at San Fran
cisco, and third at Chicago. Mr.. Mon
ey, of the committee, has written very
interesting report on the subject.
OBLIGATION OF THE GOVERNMENT.
The carriage of the mails is not only
a government function, but is in the ma
ture of contract with the citizen; upon
prepayment of price the government
engages to deliver letter to the person
addressed, or to return it to the writer.
1t engages to do this with certainty, &C.
lerity, and security, in fact, in the best
possible manner; and the obligation is
increased by the fact that the govern
ment has assumed the monopoly of this
business, prohibiting and Furnishing
competition. 1t must, therefore, spare
no means or appliance to secure the full
discharge of this important duty.
BUSINESS OF THE DEAD LETTER OFFICE.
The business of the Dead Letter Office
for the year ending June 80. 1877, was as
follows: Number domestic letters for
warded to Dead Letter Office, 2,688, $3.50,
containing cash to amount of SOL ,957
drafts, checks, and bills, 81, 40O.738; num-
Der containing receipts, legal documents
etc., 23,O25; postage stamps, jewelry, etc.
1926.
For the year ending June 80, 1878:
Number of domestic letters forwarded to
Dead Letter Office, 2,484, Sol; containing
receipts, legal papers, etc., 21,S16; jewel
nv and other valuables, 1925; postage
stamps, 1854; cash to the amount OF
S29. 995. aud drafts, checks, etc., to the
amount of 81 ,4O5,301. For the year end.
ing June 80, 1879: Number of domestic

CONTINENTAL OIL AND TRANSPORTATION
COMPANY

CONTINENTAL OIL AND TRANSPORTATION
COMPANY.
The Continental Oil and Transportation
Company of California conducts business
of the foremost rank and Importance upon
the coast. The main Office of the company
is at l20 and I'D San Francisco, with
branches at Sacramento, Oakland, Marys-
vile, Stockton, San Jose, Los Angeles,
Reno, New, etc. The branch Office in this
city is at the corner OF Eleventh and E
streets. The company deal exclusively at
wholesale, and their transactions are fabu-
lousy large, and far in excess of all
other similar companies doing business
upon the coast. Although largely occupy
ing the entire field, the tendency of the
business of the company is not to an in
crease of price from monopoly of the
trade, but on the contrary a large reduc-
ton has been effected through its plan of
operation. The leading feature OF the COM
pany, and its claim for success lie in its
reduction of the cost of transportation
of its supplies from the East to this
coast This is accomplished by the oil be-
ing brought in cars of peculiar construc-
ton for the purpose of transporting oil in
bulk. These cars are owned by the Cont
mental Oh Company, and their exclusive
use is secured to them by patent. OF course
oil could be shipped in bulk in the oil tank
car, but the transportation of these tanks
in returning thence to the East empty
would be heavy expense, while the pat
ent car is so constructed that it is returned
to the East loaded with merchandise. This
gives the company under notice the ben
eft of cheap and quick transportation of
its supplies by rail, with no competition
from bulk shipment except by the usual
mode of transportation around Cape Horn,
which results in deterioration and great
loss of time. The advantages of this COM
pany are therefore readily seen. They
ship at low rates in bulk, and put into cans
and cases of their own manufacture upon
arrival here, for supplying to the trade.
With these advantages the business of the
company has increased during the last
year about 300 per cent. The business of
the office in this city is often so large in
single week as to be phenomenal

MILLINERY.

THE MISSES BROTHERS, WHOLESALE AND RE-
TAIL MILLINERY, Gil STREET
Eighteen hundred and seventy-nine was a
prosperous year with the Misses Brothers,
who are thelargest millinery merchants out
sdethe city of San Francisco and west of the
Mississippi. They carry on large and ex-
ceedingly attractive establish ment. They
buy exclusively for cash, and Ii kewise sell
exclusively for cash, and in all their ex-
tensive business have not single book
account. This, they say, is the secret of
their success. 1t enables the firm to sell
to customers at a more advantageous rate
than they could purchase elsewhere. Their
entire stock is imported, and from the East
and from European marts they receive the
choicest goods, and one of the ladies an
nually makes trip to Europe for the pur-
pose OF securing stock at the lowest pos
sible rates, In foreign as well as home mar
kets, which cash always commands They
keep full line of general millinery.
and have constant orders at the East and
Europe for the very latest novelties to be
forwarded to them without special order.
They keep large number of hands con-
stantly employed. They do large bust
ness in the way of selling goods in quantity
as received from the East Some interest
having been taken by others as to the ex-
tent OF business done by this firm, Eastern
CORES pondence, on examination, shows
that the New York shippers say TO the
Misses Brothers that, except to San Fran
cisco, they ship no such large bills to the
Pacific coast as they do to this firm. This in
dicates a cultivated taste on the part of
Sacramentans and interior Californians who
patronize this house. The proprietors
began business here about three years
ago, strange to the community. but by their
excellent method built up the trade de-
scribed. The per cent. of increase of their
business exceeds that OF any other mil
linery establishment on the coast. While
their business system is very correct, and
their energy and skill undoubted, yet it is
certain, too, that they owe as much to the
advantages of locality as they do to other
causes for their success.
