Nat Mail Service

Postmaster General Gresham is ex-
pected at Jacksonville, Florida, this week.
He has been strongly urged torecOmmend
an appropriation for the continuance of
fast mail service on the Atlantic Coast
line. His trip over this line may con-
vince him that this fast mail service is
necessity to the people of Charleston,
Savannah, jacksonville and the adjacent
country. Not long ago he arranged for
fast mail service for the section of coun-
try northwest of Chicago-a section
that already enjoyed exceptionally
fine mail facilities. Why should this
section be neglected while that
is given additional advantages? The
Boston Herald, in a late issue, called the
Postmaster Generals attention to the in
justice OF denying % the lower Atlantic
coast region postal advantages which the
people appreciate 50 highly, and which
they cannot conveniently do without.
The Herald directed attention to the fact
that as late as March there were $4,000
visitors in Florida from Northern and
Western States. \ great many Of FlOrida's
visitors are business men, who are obliged
to keep a close supervision Of their bust
ness affairs by means Of the telegraph
and mall The withdrawal of the fast
mail service would be a great de-
privation to them. The average
number Of letters which daily
leave Washington on the Atlantic Coast
Line for the South Is 1850. Surely this
number is sufficient to justify a fast mail
service. The time between Boston and
jacksonville is now only A hours. If the
fast mail is discontinued the time will be
increased to G6 hours. So great a delay
beyond the present time is not pleasant to
think Of. and is certain to be attended
with serious business embarrassments.
All the relations Of the people with the
coast line mails are now adjusted to the
present condition Of affairs. The people
have right to look for improvement in the
mail service whenever such improvement
is possible. They certainly ought not to
be deprived of the advantages they
already have.

Public Buildings at Washington.

The government is all the time putting
out new branches. Notwithstanding the
size and number of the government build
ings at Washington, they do not contain
sufficient room to accommodate all the
government employees there. Not long ago
the Post Office Department rented an ad-
joining building in order to provide ac-
cOmmOdatiOns for a part of its force.
The Pension Office, which is a part of the
Interior Department, has long occupied
rented building. A magnificent structure,
however, Will soon be completed for pen
sion purposes. The treasury building is
not large enough to meet the needs Of the
Treasury Department, and branches Of
that department are located in rented
buildings in different parts of
the city. A few days ago
a bill passed the House creating
a Bureau of Labor Statistics, and on last
Tuesday a bill passed the House creating
another bureau, to be known as the Blu
reau of Navigation. Doubtless the action
Of the House in both cases will meet with
the approval of the Senate. These new
branches will have to be furnished with
quarters somewhere, and as there are no
places for them under the roofs already
owned by the government new buildings
will have to be erected. The departments
of the government grow as rapidly as the
country grows. The outlook is that the
work OF constructing public buildings in
Washington is nowhere near completed.
In fact, there is no present indication that
it will ever be completed. A Con-
gressional library building must be
erected in the near future, and an Execu-
tive Mansion built. Already there is talk
that the capitol is too small, and it is not
improbable that before many years there
will be a demand for new capitol build
ing.

A Town sinking into the Earth.

A special of the goth inst. from Saline
vile, Ohio, says: Intense excitement was
caused here yesterday afternoon by the
discovery that large section Of the town
was slowly sinking into the earth. For
many years Salineville has been a great
coal mining centre. The town stands on
an immense hill, which is undermined by
several large coal banks. The ground
Immediately over Kinks mines was OBJ
served to crack and break in several
places, and persons living in that section
of the town were startled to find their
yards and houses sinking into the ground,
and also discovered that the wells had no
bottoms. Many people moved to safer
quarters.
There are no developments to-day. 1t
is feared the new school house, a three
story structure, will be destroyed, and
parents say they will not allow their chill
dren to attend school tomorrow. Great
anxiety exists.

Riding at Government Expense


Not many years ago Attorney General
Williams, better known as Landaulet
Williams. was run out of Washington by
the newspapers because he appropriated
a government carriage to his private use.
Times have changed. The use Of gov
eminent carriage by an official for private
purposes is no longer the occasion for
scandal. 1t is alleged that thousands of
dollars are spent annually by the govern
ment to furnish not only heads of depart
ments, but also heads of bureaus and
chief clerks, with carriages. 1t
is said to be not an unusual thing
to see the family Of a Cabinet
officer taking a pleasure ride in a govern
ment carriage. 1t must not be supposed
that these carriages are cheap and
rickety like the famous Williams
landaulet. They are the finest that
money can buy. Last year the Interior
Department purchased a siX-seated rock
away for which 500 was paid. If Will
Jams were a Cabinet officer now he could
use a government carriage to take his
family shopping, visiting or on pleasure
trips without fear of criticism. He would
be laughed at if he showed any scru-
pies in the matter. The Republican
party has beenin power so long that Re-
publican officials act as if they owned the
property ofthe government. That delicate
sense Of honor which once characterized
the conduct of officials in their public
capacity is fast disappearing. 1t is full
time that the Republican party was re-
tired from power. 1t has not only broken
down nearly all constitutional barriers,
but it has introduced reprehensible prac-
tices into official life. 1t has done more
damage in one way and another than the
Democratic party, if it should come into
power next March, could repair in
quarter of century.

Teachers Of deaf and dumb children
have, in various instances, succeeded in
developing the hearing faculties of their
pupils in a most remarkable degree, and
il is now claimed that a very large per-
centage Of the sO-calied deaf and dumb
may be taken entirely out of that class
and be educated TO hear and talk as other
people. Prof. ". d. Williams, Principal Of
the Georgia Academy for the Blind, firmly
believes that idiots can be so educated as
TO make them useful and self-sustaining
members Of society. He has studied the
question thoroughly, and it is to be hoped
he win have an opportunity some day to
give his theory a fair test.

The Isthmus Canal.

PARIS, December 2.-The official bull
letin of the Panama Canal company
gives a resume of the statement of Com
mander Gorringe, formerly of the
United States navy, which was pub
lished some time ago in America, Civ
ing the result of his inspection of the
work on the canal up to July, this year.
AT that time only one-seventeenth part
of the actual cutting of the canal has
been finished, while the expenses SO far
incurred amounted TO one-sixth of the
estimated total outlay Commander
Gorringe concluded that the canal
would eventually cost S120,O0O,000, and
be completed at the Latest by January
LIST. 1880. The American contractor,
Nathaniel Mckay, reports 10000 natives
of the Carribee Islands employed in
piercing the ISthmus They are
mostly occupied in cutting immense
trenches through the hills, which will
be carried down to level with the
ocean. When the work IS finished, and
