POSTAL AFFAIRS.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23-The annual
report of Postmaster General May
nard was made public to-day. It
presents large amount of statisti-
cal information concerning the oper-
atoms of the department., most of
which has already been published in
abstracts of reports of his subordi-
nate officers. The postmaster gen
eral approves the action of Assist
ant General Brady in spending upon
the star service last year more than
the amount appropriated therefor,
and says that, under the
circumstances, to have re-
stricted the postal service to
the meagre appropriation for
1879 would have rendered it entire
ly inadequate to the wants of the
people. He also approves of Gen.
Brady's estimates for the next fiscal
year, and recommends an appro-
priation for continuance OF special
mail facilities on railroads. It is
also recommended that congress
authorize the postmaster general
to pay reasonable subsidies to such
lines of American steamers as may
be employed under contract with
the postofice department in trans
porting mails of the United States to
Mexico, Central America, South
America, and trans-Paciic ports.
The postmaster general says the
money order system continues to
grow in popular favor, its operations
| having been increased from about
one million dollars in 1866, to more
than one hundred millions in the
past year. It is recommended that
the fee for money orders not exceed
ing five dollars be reduced to five
cents, and that the maximum limit o.
orders be increased to 800. He
also suggests the establishment o!
"postal savings system" of posta-
telegraphs, and of foreign "parce
post" by means of which small
packages containing dutiable mer
chandise shall be e1changeable
with foreign countries through
the mails. Mr.. Maynard renewE
the recommendation Of his
predecessor that privileges of The
registry and money order system be
denied by law to all lotteries, wheth
} er the latter be fraudulent or not
and that newspapers containing lot
terry advertisements be deprived o.
the privileges of the mails. The re-
port concludes as follows; "The
department has, from it's beginning
exhibited continual growth CORES
ponding with the develop pment of tht
country, and at the same time con
slant Improvement in methods ane
: results. It has been the unvarying
aim of the administration to correc
abuses, to remedy defects, and to Sc
! cure increased efficiency. In future
I am persuaded no efforts will b.
t spared to bring the service to
3 state Of ideal perfection, when moth
irg entrusted to it shall be lost O
even delayed"

Our readers are eonversant with the
facts of the attroci0us double murder
of Chae. Brown and young Andy
Heck, at Marble Hall, near Roger :
vile, Monday night. AS to the cap.
ture of Harris, the PerpetEator, tae
following letter gives further partic-
ulars:
BULLS GAP, Nov. "A, 1880.
Mr.. EDITOR: Yesterday, while the
inquest was being held over the bodies
of Brown and Heck, there was man
present by the name Of Harris who
seemed to be very restless and etarted
off. The sheriff got some one to ask
him where he was going. He said he
was going to q grocery near there, and
started off. The sheriff seeing that he
did not go to the grocery, followed
him about three miles and arrest ed
him and placed him under guard.
Harris mad brother who assis ed
Brown in getting some hogs to Whites
burg the day before that he had sold,
and he was missing. The sheriff and
one of his deputies started to Hancock
county, where the Harrises come from
thinking they would find him there,
and on their road they heard Of him
passing at the foot of Clinch noun
tain about daylight. They followed
him and captured him that evening or
night and lodged him in Jail at Rog-
ersville this morning before daylight.
He had about $500 that he said ne took
| from Brown after he was killed. He
said he got check and hid it under a
fence corner. He said he did not do
the killing; he said it was ruffian.
| but would not tell his name. Tho sup
| position is that the two brothers did
| the killing, and the first one that was
arrested had started to tell the other
how every thing was. After they had
murdered the men they set the bed on
fire, and would have burned the
house down had it not been for Mr
Price living within few yards OF the
house. He smelt the feathers burning
examined his house, but could not
find anything on fire, and went over
to the house where the murder was
committed and asked the lady
Of the house what that was,
She said she did not know, and told
him to go in the boys room, maybe
it was something in there. AS he

He went to the bed to wake them, pu;
his hand on Browns head and found
it was mashed up. He then raised the
alarm that they were murdered, go'
them off the bed and threw the por'
ton of the bed that was not burned out
in the yard. There were two whitt
ladies in the house. II they had
walked while the murderers were in the
house they would have probably beer
treated likewise. J. J. K.
From Mr.. II. M. Aiken, who re-
turned from Rogersville on yesterday'l
noon train, We learn that every thing
is now quiet, aud Harris is in jail
There was strong feeling and euspi'

but the sheriff succeeded in quellinl
the spirit and persuading the indig

course.

OF No Reputation.

What guarantee have you that the
substitute offered you may not at one
time contain one thing aud at another
something else, for you can be blindly
deceived by fraudulent medicine which
is only made to get up something
cheap to take the place of the genu-
inc of high reputation The genuine
has been manufactured for years-a
half million of dollars expended to
secure its reputation; and too much
money is invested in Simmons Liver
Regulator by Zeilin & Co. to risk the
loss by allowing the medicine to fall
from its high standard. The best part
of life time has been spent in securH
ing this reputation, which will last for
generations. The substitutes having
no reputation to lose will be made OF
the cheapest and poorest materials to
enable the dealer to buy what il
