- Henry d. LYMAN. Second Assistant

Henry D. Lyman, Second Assistant
Postmaster General, has submitted his an
nual report for the fiscal year ended June
80, 1884. 1t shows that the cost of inland
transportation for the year was as follows: !:
For II, ,729 Star routes, aggregating 226, ,179
miles, s5,0S9,94l; III steamboat routes ag-
gregating 1851 miles, s596,573; for 1878
railroad routes, aggregating 1l7,l6O miles,
$l5,O12GO3; total s20,G99, III. Comparison
with the last annual statement shows for
the Star service an increase of 4O2 routes, a
decrease of eighty-siX miles and an increase
of $780, 1863 in the annual cost for the steam
boat service an increase of two routes, a
decrease of 502 miles, and of $l1, ,O4S in the
annual cost for the railroad service an in
crease of 60 routes, of G,952 miles, and of
81, ,O24,SO3 In annual cost, the Star SER
vice in operation at the close of the year eX-
ceeded in extent the average of the preced-
ing five years and was performed at di-
minished cost. Mr.. Lyman estimates that
SIS, ,6S4, ,205 will be required to defray the
cost of railway transportation for the fis-
cal year 1885, including payment as Pacific
Roads, and he recommends that $266, 764 be
appropriated for special railway facilities,
the continuance of which. he says, is re-
quired by the interests of the people.

THE INDEPENDENT REPUBLICANS.

The Independent National Committee
have prepared, and will soon present, an
address to President-elect Cleveland. The
address has been approved by Carl Schurz
and other leaders, and the Independent
State committees. 1t is strong, cogent
argument in behalf of administrative re-
form, and leaves the Presidents hands en-
tirely free in the choice of cabinet officers
and advisers. 1t is thought that its effect
will be to further widen the breach between
the Independents and Blaine Republicans.
The address, after congratulating the coun-
try on Cleveland's election, and expressing
the belief that in his hands every interest
is safe, says:
"The Republicans and Independents, who
co-operated in your election, voted for you
on the single and preeminent issue or OIL
cial integrity and administrative reform,
because they believe your election necessary
to purify the Government. They will up
hold your administration so far and so long
as it is based upon those principles which
should underie all political parties in a
Government Of and by the people, AND
believing that an honest and fearless oppo-
sition is as necessary to free government as as
an able and vigorous administration itself,
ministration when it commits itself to
principles they cannot uphold.
"The Republicans and independents who
have supported you rely with confidence
upon you to maintain above all the prlnci!,,
pies of administrative reform in the civil
Service. They look to you to maintain
against all party pressure the. principle that
a public servant, like an employee in prl-
vate business, shall be free from the polite
al terrorism to which he has been subject,
and shall hold his place, whatever his party
affiliations, providing he has earned his pay
by doing his work we'll and has retralned
from using for party the time and skill for
which the public pays.
"They look to you to select from among
those who agree with your principles and
aims, the advisers and aiders by whose aid
your State policy must be determined, and
through whose cooperation it must be car
ried out.
ave heartily agree on our part with
these views, and we remind you that II any
of our number should claim your favor by
reason of his connection with this move
ment, and seek office at your hands, he, by
that act. ceases to represen, the principles
upon which the Independent movement
was founded, and because of which it has
co-0perated in your election"

VS.. r.. S. Hope, administrator of the estate
property will also be sold the same day.
On last Tuesday night, Mr.: &. \. Dren-
nan, of our town, departed this life. His
health has been feeble for many years. The
funeral services were preached at the house
on Thursday morning by Rev. Mr.. Sum-
mey. The remains were buried ut Fishing
Creek Presbyterian Church on the same day:
The extraordinary drought that prevailed
here for about ten or twelve weeks was
broken on last Thursday night by the fall of
rain, that continued throughout the night
and part of the next day. Farmers were
highly delighted, and turned their atten-
tiOn at once to sowing grain.
The decision by Judge COthran, sustain
ing the motion to quash the indictments
against several parties charged with selling
intoxicating liquors in violation of law, was
attended with the anticipated result. There
is no trouble in getting here, without pre-
scription, all the whisky any one wants,
provided the money is forthcoming. The
Temperance men Of our town will endeaVor
to bring such influence to bear upon the
Legislature to SO change the existing law
that no room can be found for any doubt III
regard to the provisions Of the new law for
bidding the sale of liquor within the linz
its of our town.

RLAINE AFTER THE ELECTION.

On the first page of this paper is printed
the remarkable speech made by MIR. Blaine,
at his home in Augusta, after the result OF
the election was fully determined. The
enunciatiOns contained in this speech clear
ly show Mr.. Blaine in his true colors, and
the country may regard it cause for con-
graduation that so blatant a denagogue as
he is was defeated in his aspirations for the
highest office within the gift of the Amer
lean people. The speech has received gen.
eral condemnation by the press. The New
York UeyulN says of it:
We believe that no patriotic citizen, be he
Republican, Democrat, Peoples Party man,
or Prohibitionist, will read the speech
Blaine made at Augusta last night, with
out thanking God most fervently for the
deliVerance of the people of the United
States from the danger and disgrace OF hav-
ing such demagogue and incendiary for
their resident.
1t is the first instance in which Il Presi-
Dental candidate, maddened by defeat, has
tried to inocculate his country with section
al passions in revenge for its choice of an
other man.
Unless we underestimate the patriotism
of the people, North and South, they will
greet it with such scornful anger every
where that it will be the last instance as
we'll as the first, and no future disappoint-
ed mscreant will dare defy the warning.
In the civil war one great crime was at
tempted which honorable beligcrents on
either side regard with unanimous horror.
We mean the attempt to inocculate the coun-
try with yellow fever But it pales in wick
edness beside Baine's attempt to inoccu-
late the country with sectional passions, to
tear open the healed wounds Of the Rebel
lion, to permeate the North with a sense OF
humiliation from the election of Govern
or Cleveland to the Presidency, to infect
freedom with the fear of reinstatement,
to inspire white workmen with the dread
of the freedmcn's competition in their
fields of labor, and to impeach the sincerity
of the allegiance of all Southern white men.
: No rebuke is too severe for this vilainOuS
Speech, and the shame of it is aggravated by
the fact that it was as deliberate as it is das-
tardly.\ Blaine's words are not an unprc-
medtated harrangue of hot temper. They
are the studied utterance of cold-blooded
malignity. Since he cannot rule he would
ruin. He would curse his country with
jealousy, and discord, and misery, because
he, himself is jealous, discordant and mis-
cradle.
But we believe that there is small danger
of harm from such words as his at this day.
We have faith that the evil he would wreak
upon his country will be visited on his own
head. If the Republican party does not un-

GROVER CLEVELAND's SENTENCE.-The
Barnwell People says: The following quaint
and curious endorsement was found on the
back Of Il Cleveland and Hendricks ticket
cast at Barnwell on November 4th:
Grover Cleveland, stand up! A jury OF
your countrymen have found you guilty OF
designing and conspiring with divers Dem:
Otrats to become President of the United
States, to the great harm and personal in
jury of over one hundred thousand loyal
office holders of the Republic. And more
you have caused anger, hatred, ill-will,
curses and maledictions to spring up and
live among the hitherto united Republican
family Of this country.
Your advocates have defended you with
great zeal and ability, indeed such zeal and
ability have never before been known in
the history of Presidential campaigns in
these United States.
AS the jury have recommended you to
mercy l make your sentence as lenicnt as
the law allows.
1t is, That you, Grover Cleveland, be con-
fined at hard labor within the walls of the
White House, in the City Of Washington,
District of Columbia, for the term of four
long years And may the Lord have mer-
cy on your soul.
