The Estimated Receipts and Expen-

WASHINGTON, October 31.-The Of
fetal estimates of the amounts which
will be required for all the various
branches of the postal service during
the next fiscal year have been COM
pleted at the Post Office Department
and will be transmitted by Postmaster
General James to the Secretary of the
Treasury Tomorrow. They foot up a
grand total of S43, ,661, 200, of which
amount, however, it is estimated that
the revenue of the service from the
the sale OF postage stamps, etc., will
furnish $42, TAI, 722.05, leaving "a defi-
cheney to be supplied from the general
treasury of SO 0,077.95. The amount
appropriated by Congress last winter
as an estimated deficiency in the reve-
nues for the current fiscal year was
50, 152 1858, and the actual excess oi

President Of Council and City Treasurer

President of Council and City treasurer,
and they then need not concern them
selves about Republican control OF TINS
city. Against Messrs. Fraim and las
tings as Standard bearers of the Ke2un-
lican party we have nothing to say per-
sopaliy. and III Republicans had to be
elected, do not think the Democrats
could select from the Republican party
less Objectionable men, as they are botn
men OF integrity and possess the neces-
sary qualifications for the posltlons
named. ~.
But the Democratic party have plenty
of men in their own ranks Just ~ honest
and capable for Mayor and President OF
Council as either Mr.. Fraim or Mr..
Hastings, and out Of the materiali thelr
own party they intend to elect their ofh-
GERS for Wilmington In June next, and
no. only elect the Mayor, President OF
Council and City Treasurer, but a good
working majority of the City Council,
which they can easily do If the party
goes to work in earnest, which they will
undoubtedly do. Remember that the
State election takes place in November,
1882, when Governor, member OF Con-
greas and State Legislature Is to be
elected, which will have to elect United
States Senator for six years, in place OIL
Mr.. Salisbury, whose term expires IN
1888, and on that account the Republl-
cans will leave no hing undone to secure
the M ayor and police force in June, to
intimidate Democratic votera at the cleo
ton in November next. Therefore, let
us go to work and see that our men are
all assessed and have the necessary quail
| ificatiops to make tn m voters ON the
day of the city election. The Republi'
