The POst-Omce.

Postmaster-general James retired from
office on the 4th instant. During his ten
months tenure of the office he has won
reputation that will make his name his
toric. For the quarter ended September,
1880, in the last year of the Hayes admins
tration, the excess of the expenditures over
receipts in this department of the govern
ment service was S1,3S6,000. For the cor
responding quarter under Mr.. James man.
agement the excess sunk to $4,000, and
for the last quarter it is expected that the de-
partpent will be self-sustaining. The report
Of second Assistant Postmsster-g general Elmer
for the month of December shows net
saving effected in the star route service of
Sl71, $50, and in the steamboat service of
$S,460. The gross reduction in cost of the
star route and steamboat service from March
l, 1881, to December 81, 1881, amounted to
$2,047 400, while the increase for the same
period was S60S,259, leaving net reduction
isl ,439, 163. From this showing it appears
that but for the thieving which had its
inception under democratic postmaster
general, taken into his cabinet by President
Hayes in pursuance of his policy of univer-
sal Cancellation, the post-office would have
been substantially self-sustaining during the
last presidential administration. In retiring
from the Office, Mr.. James generously er-
pressed his great Indebtedness to Mr.. Elmer,
General Hazen, and Mr.. Van Wormer, re-
spectively second and third assistants and
chief clerk of the department. Without
their energetic and skillful assistance he
could not have achieved so great measure
of success. Since there must be new
head Of the post-ofiice, it is to be hoped Mr..
Howe will retain these faithful and expe-
rienced subordinates.

A Court Of Claims.


With the growth In population and in the
variety and multiplicity Of this nations in
terests has come corresponding increase in
the demands on congress for legislation.
During the forty-fourth congress more than
six thousand bills and joint resolutions we're
introduced. With each succeeding congress
the number has steadily increased till In the
last congress IL rose to more than ten thou
sand. The inflow Of bills at the opening Of
the present congress has been unprecedented.
Nearly three thousand were introduced in
both houses before the holiday recess. OF
this number about one-half are private bills,
chiefly for pensions. The population Of the
country has become so great congress should
no longer undertake to legislate on the per-
sonal and private matters Of Its citizens ex-
cept to ratify by its final sanction the deci-
sions Of special tribunal TO which all such
claims and matters should be referred.
Congress would be proportionately relieved
by the transfer of this immense mass Of
business to body specially authorized to
hooi oihilhSj oilb eNluouco ahu iohuot uccl-
sions More exact and speedy justice would
be done, it would seem, to claimants, and
the best interests of the government would
be safer in the hands of a judicial body
constituting a court of claims than in con-
gress, with its slow and unwieldy forms
Of procedure and its opportunities for
jobs and frauds. A bill creating such a
court was introduced several years ago, but
in the violent political antagonisms and jeal-
ousies which then prevailed. like some other
important measures, it failed to pass. Mr..
Hewitt Of New York has now introduced a
similar bill. 1t seems to be a necessary
measure of relief to congress, of justice and
equity to claimants and protection to gov
eminent, and it is to be hoped that bill,
with proper provisions, will be passed at this
seseion

Measures Before Congress.

Among the three thousand bills already
introduced in congress, some of the more
important are the following: In the senate
MIR. Becks for free ships and the payment of
customs duties in greenbacks, and by the
same senator bill relating to presidential
inability; Mr.. Coke's to allot lands in sew
crafty to the Indians and make them indi-
vidually amenable to the laws; Mr.. Sher-
mans three per cent funding measure; Mr..
Morrill's and Mr.. Garlands tariff commits
sion bills; Mr.. Edmunds' bill providing for
better method for electing the president;
Mr.. Pendleton's civil service bill, and bill
authorizing cabinet members to hold seats
in the two houses; bills by various senators
providing for subsidies to ocean steamers,
unlimited silver coinage, and relating to in
terstate commerce, have also been introduced.
In the house, Mr.. Hewitt of Alabama has
introduced bill to repeal the internal rev.
enue tax on matches, bank checks, tobacco,
snuff, cigars, and spirits distilled from
apples, peaches and other fruits; Mr.. Phelps
of Connecticut to repeal the tax on savings
bank deposits, and another to authorize the
importation free of all materials used in the
construction Of ships and the purchase of
foreign-built ships bill to reduce letter
postage to two cents; Mr. Randall to pro-
vide for refunding at three per cent. Bills
have been introduced to restrict Chinese i'm
migration, to repeal the tax on bank deposits,
to pension Mexican war soldiers, to equalize
pensions, to extend the provisions of the
arrears of pension act, to require stated pub
LEGATION of names of pensioners, to author
ize commission to arrange treaty Of
commerce with Mexico, Canada, and Bra
zil; to reorganize the supreme court; bills
to appropriate many millions for the i'm
provement of navigation on the Mississippi
and other western streams, and many others
affecting duties, internal taxes, the shipping
interest and every other interest, in short
which the American citizen has or is likely
to have. The plethoric condition of the
treasury seems to be the melting cause Of
much legislation already proposed, and will
doubtless inspire much more as the session
draws on.

International Conference.

The general character of Mr.. Blaine's
circular to the republics OF Central and
South America has become known. 1t sets
forth the attitude of the United States to-
wards her sister republics, and, while ex-
pressing desire for friendly commercial
relations with them, disclaims any wish to
interfere in the domestic concerns of these
nations. The letter discusses the question
of the great influence of European powers
on the two American continents and sug-
gests mutual understanding in regard to
this matter and mutual guarantees against
any interference from abroad. The Span
ish republics of South America should
highly prize the protection Of their big sis
ter of the north. The most insignificant
naval power of Europe could gobble up the
whole southern continent while this nation is
building a fleet to make its protection
worth the paper it is written on, and in
case of our interfering between two sisters,
like Peru and Chill for instance, either
could steam up the Pacific coast and bonn.
bard San Francisco while we were scurry-
ing round for ship to protect it. Any
entangling alliances with the Spanish
republics of the character referred to would
very likely be the source of much vexation
and little benefit.

The SUPREME CoURT.-In respect to the
vacancy on the bench of the supreme court,
occasioned by the death of Judge Pierpoint,
the public mind will inevitably revert to
Judge Barrett who 80 long and so ably
filed the position of first assistant jadge,
and the error, not to say injustice, of the
legislature at its late session will stand out
more conspicuously than ever. But for this
there is probably no remedy now In seek
ing for new judge, Gov. Farnham will most
probably fix upon Hon. John W. Rowell OF
Randolph as a gentleman well qualified fol
the position, and also one who received Q
very liberal support at the last session OF
the legislature ..... Since writing the above
it is announced that Governor Farnham has
appointed Mr.. Rowell to be sixth assistant
justice, Judge Royce has been promoted te
the chief justiceship, and the other judges
advanced one grade,--Judge Redfield being
now first assistant justice.

FITz john PoRTEs.-General Grant has
written a letter TO President Arthur ex-
pressing the conviction, as the result of an
examination of the case by the aid of per-
feet maps, showing the true position of
Pope's and Porter's armies, that injustice
has been done General Porter. The ex-
president asks that the testimony before the
Schofeld court martial be reviewed by the
attorney-general, and an effort be made to
remove the stain unjustly attached to Por-
ter's good name. General Logan, however,
it is reported, is not able to see the force Of
the reasons which have operated to change
General Grants mind, and will still oppose
the reinstatement Of the disgraced general.

THE WHITAKER CAsE.-A Washington
dispatch states that Judge Advocate General
Swaim's review of the proceedings and find
ings in the Whitaker court martial recon-
mends that they be disapproved-first, on
account of informality in the appointment
of the court; second, irregularity in the
first charge and last, because the testimony
is not such as to establish the guilt of Whit
taker beyond reasonable doubt. 1t is stated
that the acknowledgements review Of
the case handles severely Whittaker's treat
ment by his officers and comrades at the
military academy and criticises sharply the
circumstances which led to the commission
of the outrage upon the oolored cadet.
Another dispatch says classmate Of Whit
taker at West Point, but not now in the
army, recently said to congressman at st.
Louis that Whitaker did not cut his own
ears, but he had to be got rid of in some
way that would prevent the sending of any
more niggers to West Point

with that it is doubtful whether since De

discounting of underwriters hopes as De

the wear.
