Of tho system of delivery by carriers, that the busl
ness of the Department to Civ the public the best
possible service not merely to transport The mails,
but to deliver them promptly. To him the office Is
aot n sinecure or merely honorary position, the
labor ana responsibilities of which devolve upon
subordinates. He evidently conducts the office on
business principles and considers himself SIMPLY an
agent in a great and important business department.
The efficiency of the carrier system under bis adj
mnstIatiOn is due to his own personal supervision
and the enforcement of the most rigid and some
times eXaCting requirements upon the caTlleIs and
all other s1bordinates in the Office. There is the
best authority for saying that in all ether respects
the Now-IIaven Office stands equally high and is
considered by tie Department a model. Experience,
after ALL when united as in this case with fidelity
aud capacity, is worth something In the public
service. The advocates of q reform carrying long
official terms or fixed tenure may find here strong
argument for their cause. Postmaster Sperry is

Acknowledgement Brewster's letter to George
Bliss on the Star Route cases has the right
ring. The civil and criminal prosecutions, MIR.
Brewster SAYS, "must be earnestly pressed"
The public will be happy to see some speedy
and tangible results of the pressure thus plainly
promised.
II is gratifying to be able to note that one
of the many memorial movements in honor of
the late President Garfield, started immedi-
ately after his death, is certain to be success
fully carried out The fund for the endow-
ment of a Garfield Professorship in Williams
College has already reached $4,000 and will
undoubtedly soon attain the full amount of
$4,000 originally contemplated.
The smallpox epidemic is confined to no one
locality. Numerous cases are reported in nearly
ali the principal cities of the country, and the
scourge has appeared in rural districts in the
Far West. Medical science has not yet found
a reason for the occasional outbreaks of this
Dreadful disease, following long periods of
almost entire exemption from its ravages.
Perhaps the cause lies in a condition of the
atmosphere favoring the activity of its germs
and rendering the human system unusually
liable to their absorption but this is a matter
of mere hypothesis. One thing is singular
about the present epidemic: Cold winters have
heretofore been thought to render the disease
peculiarly vrulent and contagious but the
present winter has thus far been a remarkably
mild one. In fact, it can hardly De said that
we have had any winter at all up to this
date.
The Board of Estimate and Apportionment
has made up the final estimates for 1882, and
the amount which the city is to spend is,
therefore, now settled. The sum is larger
than it might have been made and should
have been made There should be extensive
reductions every year until we get ON bust
ness, instead of a political, basis The total for
1882 is $29,412,831., For 1881 it was
$31, 759,205. The decrease, however, is
chiefly in State taxes and in the apprOpria-
tons for interest and redemption of the city

Mr.. ScOyillo publishes communication in
Washington paper complaining that he and his wife
have been misreprescnted by a statement of United
States Marshal Henry that Mrs. Scoylilc has re-
ceiyed $500 from the Government as witness fees !;
whereas, he SAYS she has received only $iO2 OF
which 800 went in payment of our board bill"
IIc~fces aggrieyed that the Marshal should have
commented upon the fact that the Government IS
paying the witness fees of the defence. He says this
is done under the same law that provides for the
payment OF the MarshaPs compensation out OF the
public treasury. and that the latter has no more
right to complain of tho payment OF Guiteaus wit
nesses by tho Government than Guiteau has to COM
plain of its paying the Marshal. lie thinks more
over that witnesses for the prosecution VIII cost
the Government three times rs much as those for
the defence" All of which goes to show that the
consider ite and even generous treatment which
the assassin has received has been wasted on his
friends as well as himself. This man having muir
dercl the President of the United States they EVIL
IDENTIFY think it is the duty Of the Government to
pay the expense of satisfying n jury that he was
inspired and, upon that fact being established, of
supporting aim in some comfortable asylum for the
remainder of his miserable existence.

h Mint Bureau of the Treasury Depart
ment has authorized the Superintendent of
the Mint In San Francisco to collect statistics
Of the production of the precious metals in
the States and Territories of this Coast. In
accordance with this authority, eireolsrs ask
ing for information will be sent to every in
~corporated and private mine; to Wells, Fargo
* Cos agents and to prominent merchants in
mining localities for estimates of the produce
ton of the Chinese, small producers by aras-
tras, the pan, ETC.. byiwhich means it is hoped
to receive returns of the entire scheme.
Circulars are sent from the mint every six
months-January LIST and July lst-for the
reason that the production of the government
fiscal year which ends June 30th is six months
each Of two years.
The productions will be classified as to the
manner or mode Of production-whether ar
gentiferous, lead ore, vein quartz, drift, pla-
Ger or hydraulic. etc. But what will be of
most advantage to every county will be the
publication for each fiscal year of the produc-
tion of the ~precions metal for each county
only, however, in the aggregate or the totals.
Individual returns will not be published, and
are seen by no one but the Superintendent
and his assistant, the statistician in charge,
by whom any communication relative to the
production of a mine will be safely guarded.
This publication Of the yield by counties
will be of benefit in attracting the attention
OF men of means who are each week arriving
in San francisco from all parts Of the world,
and who are often imbued with the desire to
invest in mining property-of which we have
SO much awaiting the advent of eapital-and
who will naturally look for statistics of the
production Of gold and silver, and will in
many instances go TO those localities known
to be productive. They can by this means
often be induced to invest, and will thus help
develop the main industry which has been
the means of making us known to the world.
1t is therefore hoped That every mining
company, large or small, and every person
receiving a circular Of inquiry from the Mint
will promptly and freely make returns of
productions, and impart such information as
will give each county full credit for all it is
entitled to, and by this means assist in aiding
the mining industry of the country.

James ii. Clinton, a miner at the
Star, who, by the way, is m of the
best posted men in this State on rae
ing matters, bought in a pool in New
York, stalking his coin On Lorrillord's
Iroquois winning the Derby race, and
won 3 5000. Mr.. Clinton also tried TO
get in a pool on Jim Keene's Foxhall
winning the Grand Prize at Paris,
but sent his money to late. We will
wager a big red apple that Clinton is
TO the manor born, and his pride as
an American in American stock has
evidently stood him in good luck for
once. He bets his coin on Brother
Jonathan stock againstthe world, and
we heartily congratulate him on the
result of his venture.

Wood River.

A correspondent of the Carson Index, writ
ing from Wood River. says The longer one
lives here the less he knows and the more
puzzled he becomes about the mines. 1t is
the p~rettiest looking mountain country / ever
saw, and | would liket o make a home here ii
the mines prove good; but these nice green
mountains can't support much Of a popula-
ton unless good mines are found. The trou-
BILE is the mines don't go down; to-day you
seem to have a good one, and tomorrow it is
gone. Yet have faith that some will prove
permanent. The mountains are full of men
prospecting. Some have confidence; others
say it is all humbug. There are about 1000
persons here from all parts of the world,
and from every station in life. Building is
brisk, but all kinds of business is oyerdone.
II is no place for a mar who has a home and
can get a living elsewhere.

The Minstrels.

The first performance of the ANA
teur Minstrels Saturday evening drew
a good house, and the entertainment
seemed TO give general satisfaction.
Some of the acts were really merito-
riouS, while on the whole il proved
far better than could have been ex-
pected from amateurs. The most de-
tective part was the too great delay
between acts. This, we suppose,
could not have been avoided on their
first appearance. Weber and Adams
as end-men and Clayton as middle
man played their parts well. Pete,
however, is in his native element
when personating the jolly Teuton,
while Adams would pass a creditable
muster for a plantation darkey IKE
cutting a h~oe-down. Professor Fisher
treated the audience to an excellent
solo, which elected a hearty encore
More practice and study will no doubt
smooth off the rough edges of the
Amateurs, and in time they will make
their entertainments worthy in every
respect of public patronange.
Tonight the troupe will again APP
pear before the public in an entire
new programme, which will be sure
to draw a good house. The curtain
will rise precisely at 8 o'clock, and it
Is especially desired that the audience
be seated at that hour.

HAMILTON NOTES.

From Our Regular Correspondent.
The drift from the main EDerbardt
and Aurora Tunnel is steadily pro-
crossing, and is now run west several
hundred feet, with variations in the
formation, but as far as I know MOTH
ing else.
The parties who have the contract
of running a tunnel for Col. Grandel-
myer on the G. o. ID. mine, have
made 100 feet in the last % days
(size 5x6 feet). The Colonel is de-
voting his whole time to the work.
A number of miners who have
"faith that knows no waning'' are
doing assessment work on their
claims, while others are chloriding
with more or less success.
Mrs. W. s. Grey is dangerously ill,
and has been so for the past "a hours,
and but little hope is entertained of
her recovery.
Citizens Strickland and Wray have
overhauled their old craft, repainted
her, and expect to "weigh anchor
in a week or so for a cruise to the
Wood River country. The old salt
deferred sailing till after the 10th,
fearing Mother Symptoms prophesies
might come true. If these two navi-
gators of many q billowy ocean don't
like the Timber Stream country they
will steer north and perhaps hunt up
the Jeanette party in the neighbor-
hood of the North Pole.
We have now a neat and well-kept
restaurant, where we can eat, and
which our sojonrning friends from the
outside will, 1 think duly appreciate,
whenever business require their at
tendance here. Mrs. Dick Smith has
opened the restaurant formerly kept
by John Molitor, and it is certainly
enticing to drop into her costly ar
ranged rooms and partake a nicely
gotten up meal. She deserves praise
from the travelling public for supply
ing a want long felt in our town.
