Mail Mnitcrs.-Representatives Elol-
ton and McComas and reporter Of the
Baltimore Sun had III interview last week
with the Postmaster-General on the sub
iect of the much-ne eded additional mail
facilities from Baltimore. The Postmas-
ter-Gcncral said lie recognized the need
of better mail service, but he could not
extend any help unless Congress made an
appropriation. The Postoffice appropria-
tiou bill was passed by the Senate OIL Fri
day, but neither of the Maryland Senators
had interest enough in the matter to ask
for tile special appropriation. The bill is
now before the House, and Representa-
tives Holton and McComas say they will
do all in their power to secure the neces-
sary appropriation. We hope that our
Congressman, Mr.. Wilson, will give them
all the help he can, for the people up III
this district are greatly interested.

" The bloody Shirt"

Under the above caption the Boston
Globe makes the following hOme-thrust:
II has been waved quite extensively I'm
in Ohio during the last three or four days,
and it ought TO impress upon the minds OF
Messrs. John Sherman, George +. Hoar.
and even upon Mr.. James G. Blaine, that
il must be taken out OF the. canvass in the
presidential election Of the present year.
1t should be washed and " laid up in law
ender," for il will subServe no useful pur-
pose 10 their party hereafter. The riot in
Danvilie, Va, which a congressional
committee is now investigating, was
nothing to be compared TO that which
has Just occurred in Cincinnati; and
all the other disturbances in the
southern States during recent years,
where for time there was prevalence
OF mob violence, do not furnish such dis
play OF disregard for law and such an eX-
hibition OF innate cusSedness" on the
part OF the popuace rs the reports OF mob
law violence in Cincinnati present. TAX
ing the facts as furnished by all the reports
from special correspondents and by the
Associated Press. it does not appear that
anywhere in the South, even under the ku-
kluX regime, which years ago was happily
abolished, that there has been such reign
Of terror a. has prevailed in Cincinnati
during the past three days. Human nature
is much the same all tie world over, and
occasionally Satan gets the upperhand; but
II Is unreasonable to form an opinion OF the
average state OF society from events in a
single county or in single State by one
outbreak OF mob violence, and pass indis-
criminate condemnation upon whole COM
murities. The lesson Of the hour seems TO
be that il would be well for the congress
sional investigators of the Danville out
rage before they make up their report to
take coguizance Of the recent unpleasant
mes" IN Cincinnati, and conclude to obey
the Scriptural Injunction, First take out
the beam that is in thine own eye and then
take out the mote which is in thy brothers
eve" In this connection it il fact to be
remembered that the leader Of the mob
which attacked the Cincinnati jail WAS a
stalwart negro, whose life was forfeited to
his aw.breaking zeal.

Encouraging the Mob.
INew York World. |


IL is not 10 be wondered at that spirit
OF lawlessness pervades Cincinnati. On
Monday morning last, while the city was
still red with blood OF men slain in the
streets, and the ruins OF the court house
were smoking, the Cincinnati Commercial
Gazette printed the following double-leaded
editorial i'm its most conspicuous column {:
GONE WORD.-If the attack on the jail
had been made on Friday night by band
OF men who were thoroughly organized
and knew their business, like the Vigi-
lance Committee OF San Francisco, the
murderers would have been taken out in
an orderly manner and hanged.
1.-THE murderers were for time in the
power OF those who made the attack, vut
when the Jail was taken there was a rush
on the courthouse. Men who mean busi-
ness must know what they mean 10 do.
zone more word this morning to all
whom it may concern! The quoting
down OF the city does not mean that the
murderers are TO escape-not at all Pass
the word that that is not what peace
means"
II this meant anything II was IN incite-
ment TO further riot. II was public no.
tice served on bowling mob that the
butchery OF the felons in the jail would be
countenanced and endorsed. In view oil
this sort OF encouragement It is not strange
that the life OF the deputy sheriff who took
Berner away from the mob was threat
ened. Indeed, it will be strange II the
Cincinnati jail is not forced and the muir
derers hanged before the week is out
There is to be no peace, and we presume
the officers who defended the Jail against
the recent assaults will be strung up tc
lamp-posts by way OF emphasizing The
dignity and majesty Of public sentiment
as represented by the Cincinnati Com
fnerciai- Gazette.
