b, matter of duty "a we'll IA NJ inteicat W con
,iler what has heen accomplished by Tho Hipa
mart of a. JoLn Ihose Who urged tho nominal
ian of a sapa,ate ticket reasoned that II would
mnniiest the power at tho temperance move
ment, particularly in Maryland, Missouri ANA
other Southern States, Those who especially
urred the nomination of st. John believed that
il would carry the State of Kansas, and secure
heavy vote in Iowa. Mr.. st. John himself
pretended to believe that at least l,OOo,ooo
votes would be pollcd for him. Had some OF
these expectations or promises been realized,
the effect of the performance upon the temper
ahcc cause would not be what it is.
Instead of one IN ion votes Mr.. st. John has
received about 10000. He has been a
practjscd politician, and it is not possible that
ne was deceived to that extent The truth Is
that he pretended TO be sure OF large vote III
order to get n few more, ana thus serve the
Democrats more eiicctually.
Bnt there were Others who were honestly mis-
taken i'm their beliefs. Instead of carrying
Kansas, the st. John ticket polled there about 4
in 100 of the temperance vote previously cast
and less than Is in 1000 of the total vote OF
the State. This did not tend to display the
strength of the cause" Instead of heavy vote
in Iowa, the ticket had about l in 100 OF the
temperance vote previously cast and less than
| in 300 of the total vote of the State. These
and similar results in many other States
tended, not to manifest the strength OF the
cause. but to make it appear insignificant in
importancc and destitute of rational manage
ment
n,t otr iI, all
Southern States The temperance cause really
has much strength in Maryland and Missouri.
Bnt the st. John ticket pOlled only 1-3vOtes IN
100 of the total vote of Maryland, and less than
| in 900 of the total vote of Missouri. More
over, it received only 1867 votes i'll the whole
South so far reported. though the number may
be slightly increased by full returns. 1t is evil
dent, at all events, That about nnc-tcnths OF
the vote for st. John was cast ut the North and
only about One-tenth at tho South, though
cunning Democratic managers promised great
vote from that section i'll order to induce
Northern Republicans TO throw away their
power to govern the country. part or them
listened and were deceived. Now they can see
that they were simply used as catspaws by the
Southern politicians who promised much, but
on election day carefully concentrated their
whole vote for Cleveland and Hendricks.
If the sincere advocates of temperance can
find any satisfaction in having been thus used,
they are not of the mind we suppose 1t can
hardly give them pleasure to feel that the tom
perancc cause has been rendered insignificant in
appearance, has been used ~ "A tool by the
Solid South and the party of free liquor, and
has made hosts of enemies instead of friends.

The deficiency in the Post Once Department
for the fiscal year ending june 80, 1854, Is
considerably less than was expected when the
reduction i'm postage from three to two cents
was contemplated. The Postmaster-Generals
report shows that the deficiency is five mill
ions. The actual loss of revenue owing to the
change of rate is something over six millions,
while decrease Of eight millions was anticl-
patcd. Owing to the reduction more letters
and fewer postal cards and unsealed circulars
have been sent This was counted on. The most
important recommendations in The report favor
an increase of weight to ounce for all letters,
the reduction of local postage on letters by
carriers to one cent. and a special rate tcn

from that State, makes the total vote of the
