Postal-Seryice Reforms.

While General Brady is under the fire
Of enraged men, who have failed to use
him or to displace him from his position
as Second Assistant Postmasier-G General,
it may not be amiss to call attention to
some ofhis good work in the Department.
He found gangs of adventures securing
contracts and subletting them, and then
cheating the subcontractors out of the
pay for their work. They would go on
and pay up to the last quarter, because, if
they did not, the subcontractor would
cease performing the service. But
when the last quarters work was finished
the swindling gang made no payment.
To remedy this General Brady's recon-
mendation caused the enactment of pro-
vision of law whereby the filing of the
subcontract in the Department became
lien upon the contractors compensation,
and the latter could draw no pay until he
produced the formers written assurance
that he had been paid, or was satisfied.
The head of one of these pestiferous
gangs is now throwing mud at the author
of this provision.
Again, at the session of last year, Con-
greSs enacted a provision, which had
been previously recommended more than
National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1881-03-10

once by General Brady, restricting the
amount to be expended in expediting the
service on any given route to fifty per
cent in the original contract price. Be
fore the passage of this law there was no
limit to the amount that could be so ex-
pended.
Another improvement-wh Congress
establishes new postal routes, which 1t
does at every session, the Postmaster
General has authority to make contract
for temporary service on every one of
them until the next advertised contract
letting, at whatever terms he deems best.
General Brady urged upon Congress that
this temporary service ought not to be
let until advertised at each terminal sta
tion of given route and at the Post-of-
flee Department. This was to prevent
the Government from being left at the
mercy of the few knowing ones lying III
wait in Washington for such contracts.
The committee of Congress changed
it from newspaper advertisements
to bulletins, and now no tenn
porary service can be contracted for
until it is advertised by bulletins posted
as above.
These are most important and practical
reforms, and we choose to call attention
to them Just at this time to show that
there has been a strong man with clear
head in charge of the postal contract sys-
tenn

National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1881-03-10

The Southern political situation has
ceased to bear any relation to party di-
visions of the past. 1t has now reached a
point where the struggle is between civili-
zation and barbarism, between order and
anarchy, between the viii of the majority
and the organized violence and fraud of
the minority. The Democratic organiza-
ton is itself domineered over and dragged
in the mire at the tail Of the bandits
horse. The desperate outlaws who con-
troll, hurry that party forward to acts
which will destroy society, and in its
stead set up hell Of anarchy and brute
force. In self-defense the Well-inten-
toned men of the Democratic party must
break loose from their desperate leaders.
They can resolve that decent and lawful
methods shall prevail. They can leave
the foul crew which, claiming to be the
Democratic party, issubjecting peaceable
majority to the control Of mere fighting
force. They can rise in revolt against
tyranny which would enslaye all who
dare to question its authority, and can
establish an American State where law
and order shall prevail. They can lead in
majestic and peaceful charge. They can
show a strength too formidable for the
bull-dozers to contend with. Let them
have no political opinion but tofayor fair
elections; LET them have no name but that
of Law and Order men; good citizenship
against criminal practices, elections that
elect, decency against brutality. If they
do this the Republicans will follow them
and vote for their candidates. They will
be so strong that they can, if necessary,
meet violence with violence. Govern
ment means force. When good men be-
come weary of being governed by outlaws
they can themselves govern, by reason of
their numerical and physical strength.
These reflections do not relate to the
civil war which ended years ago. Our
inspiration is from eX-confederates who
groaH III bondage and who desire to ex-
tend their hands to other eX-confederates
and to Republicans, that, by united ac-
ton, they may be delivered from the
body of the death of Southern Bourbon
ism. Any Democrat who is not guilty of
crime against the ballot-boN nor of de-
Tending or concealing it does not come
within the description above given. But
every Democrat whose only reply to
simple statement Of the truth is sneer
at the outrage. mill . is paTticeps cTimiais
with the worst Of the perpetrators of the
outrages and crimes which constitute the
policy of the Democratic party in some of
the Southern States.
