II is for the interest of every business
man of Washington to have new post
office building. The present structure is
mere tinder-box. Once ignited, II
might be totally destroyed in spite of the
best efforts of our well-equipped 6re de.
partment. The large business houses
and banks Of tho city collect thoir mail
in the morning, leaving all mail arriving
after o'clock in the afternoon to remain
in this fire trap over night. Business is
transacted here ss in all cities through
tho banks, and every night checks and
drafts of large and small amounts are
locked up for safe keeping in building
that would hardly be accepted for the
storage of secondhand furniture. Busi-
ness men, aud especially bankers, know
the embarrassment often caused by the
loss of single check or draft, and yet the
destruction of this building might bring
embarrassment and loss to hundreds.
1t should also be borne in mind that
all the fiscal agents of tho government
throughout the country reach the depart
pg bhio oulno pObt-
Office, and that all mail arriving for the
departments on the afternoon trains re-
mains in the postofiice over night. The
extent Of the loss and embarrassment to
tho government and it agents should our
city postotfice be destroyed by fire can
only be estimated by those familiar with
the amount of business transacted in a
single day by the departments.
The subject should be brought to the
attention of congress in the light of a
purely business transaction. 1t is not
an appeal for gift If our postofIice
facilities were equal to the growth and
demands of the city, if the quarters were
commodious and secure, then, perhaps,
we might stand upon the same plane
with other cities that are seeking appro-
priations for public buildings. But hav-
ing neither the accommodations nor the
security that is accorded them our re-
quest rests upon higher grounds and Is
entitled to prior consideration. We trust
the business men of Washington will
unite in urging the matter upon the at
ItonSivn vf Svne.s~'.y fs.y JOt--i-.B t,.ir own
cause with the interest 1t must be to the
government to protect itself and its
agents, they cannot fail of securing early
consideration of the subject.

to Mr.. Chalmers's proposition is best OK
emplifed in the following extract from
the samo correspondents letter:
All that's needed now is for score Of demo.
Gratis to put on red shirts, mount horses and
drive through negro settlements at night and
yell and fire oil pistols. BY years of terrible
experience the negroes know what that means.
IL was done In John II. Lynchs district at this
election. Republicans were warned that IL
they organized there would be several graves
dug; aud so the republican executive commit.
tee Of that county Cancelled all Of Lynchs en-.
gagements, and begged Lynch, "iu the inter.
est Of public peace" not to show his face in
the county. Mr.. Lynch is a very intelligent
and respectable citizen. He was temporary
chairman OF the republican national conven.
tion at Chicago.
Being white man, Mr.. Yellowly, the re-
publican candidate for congress in this dis
trict thought that the chvalry Of Coplah
would allow him TO make O speech. lie did
not get shot In the back as Print Matthews
did, but he was made a target for brickbats. A
bowling mob drove him Out of the county.
Northern democrats say that the negroes
down here have learned to vote the demo.
cratic ticket That is not so. Southern demo.
Gratis laugh at the suggestion. l am speaking
of national elections. Basing my assertion on
admissions OF democrats, have no hositancy
in saying that Cleveland did not get 200 col.
ored votes In the whole of Mississippi and
those he did get were purchased In some way
or another.

Mr.. Chalmers introduced bill in the
house yesterday to restore publican
form Of government to the state Of Mis-
sissipp, whoreat from the democratic
sde of the house chorus of derlsive
laughter split the air.
And yet If tho people of the whole
country, both democrats and republicans,
could be made to clearly realize the real
condition of political affairs in the state
Of Missi sippi, the approval of the vast
MAORI that believes in maintaining n
republican form of government would be
with Mr.. CHAIN rs, and not with the
guffawing democratio representatives,
for in that state 1t would be O bitter
mockery of truth to say that there Is
now existent republican form of gov
ernm n. The truth is that a deter
mined minority Of men rules it by force,
selects its oiiicals-county, state, and ma
tional-and inducts them into office with.
out regard to the will of the people they
nre selected to represent. A FREQ and fair
c &c ion, where all the voters could and
express their opinions at the ballot
box, has not been held in the state since
1872.
Before Dixon was killed the republicans
usually pollcd close to 5000 votes in Yazoo
county and had Cloar majority OF about
1000, Al the election two years ago tho
republicans pollsd just four votes in the
county, and for president this year man.
aged to raise their total to six; and yet
the men who formerly voted the ropub-
liCan ticket there have not turned demo-
Gratis. With the exception Of some who
have moved away to escape intolerable
democratic tyranny and some who, like
PriRt Matthews, sleep in bloody graves,
they are still there. They simply do not
vote because they are not allowed to do 30.
IT. by some turn in tho sentiment of tn cir
present rulers, freedom of elections was
restored, these men would vote the re-
publican ticket, as they used to, and tho
state would bo as surely republican as
Iowa or Kansas.
An incident of the late election narrated
by a correspondent of q prominent west
ern journal goes to show how true the
foregoing assertion is. In lettor from
Jackson, in speaking of the election In
the county in which Jackson is situated,
he says:
whito republican, who is popular with his
democratic nelghbors personally, appealed to
them 10 let the republicans have fair deal
this time In their home precinct They con.
sentcd, and put honest men In as judges. Word
was sent out to the republicans that thoy
would not DO molestod for voting, and that
their votes would DO counted, Mark the re-
suit por eight years previously the democrats
had carried the precinct by four to one but
this year, when there was an honest election,
Blaine swep. The precinct by four to one.
Tho good nature that led these demo-
Gratis to try the experiment Of FREQ eloc.
tion in their precinct was truly phonome-
nal, but ii gives significant evidence Of
what might bo confidently looked for II
an epidemic Of the same sort Of spirit
should snrosd over the whole state. But
that is not likely to occur. On the con-
,.trAry, the thing that gives force aud point

The correspondence between Marshal
Wright aud the department Of Justice,
published this morning, shows that in
appointing deputies he was sctuatel solely
by commendable desire to secure an
honest election at Cincinnati in October.
There is not sentiment expressed in any
OF his communications to which any man
who believes in maintaining the purity
of the ballot-box can take exception.
They show an anxiety to act within
the scope of the. law, ana at the same
time use all the force OF the law
to prevent frand. If it had chanced
that Marshal Wright had been o demo-
crat, that the department of justice had
been under democratic control, that the
republicans had the came firm grip upon
Cincinnati that the democrats had in
October, and that Marshal Wright had
used the same lawful means to defeat
contemplated republican frauds which he
actually did use to defeat contemplated
democratic frauds, we imagine that Mr..
Follett would have been able TO perceive
in these letters spirit of upright devo-
tion to the highest dictates of official
duty, and would have viewed q proposal
to impeach such an officer with holy hor.

REPRESENTATIVE PEEL, of Arkansas,
Is getting in his work early. He has in
troduced a bill recompensing certain
persons of his state for losses sustained
during the war. OF course rebel claims
that republican congresses have rejected
will be entitled to precedence when Il
democratic administration attempts to
undo the work of the past. Hence Mr.
Peel intends to advance the claims of his
constituents on tho docket by having
them rejected at this session.

Soon the lobbyists will loom up and
visit corporations to inform them of "a
dangerous bill, sir" which has been intro
duced into the legislature. He will be
engaged" while his angry employer will
rack his brains to learn how the bill came
to be introduced, never dreaming that tho
lobbyist could have told him who origi-
mated it. The lobbyist is an inventive
individual, and knows how to scare up
business when things are dull.-Boston

FoR the convenience Of our citizens and
Dur neighbors across the river it is very
desirable that the free-bridge question be
settled before congress adjourns. The
location Of the Aqueduct bridge is such
that it would probably be found more con-
venient than the projected Three Sisters
bridge, but unless the imperfectious in
the title of the former can be speedily re-
moved Senator Riddleberger's bill should
be passed and the latter constructed.
What we want is FREQ bridge in the
shortest period possible.

Insplred bv Party Hatred.

Tho proposition of the New York Srp,
that the national banking system shall
be abolished Is thought to be inspired by
some high authority in the democratic

inspired by the long-standing democratic
prejudice against those institutions as tho
creatures of republican legislation, and
the supporters Of republican policy in its
most trying times.,-Pittsburg Dispatch.

A Good Suggestion,

Arthur has been good, careful, honest
President of the United States, and it
may therefore be Justly assumed that he
would be a good, careful, and honest SEN
ator. His refusal to enter upon q strug.
gle for the office of senator is not reason
for rejecting but ON excellent rerson for
accepting him. A citizen who respects
tho dignity of one office is not likely to

terly argument yesterday in favor OF the
bill for the admission of Dakota. The
blind pnrtisanship that can find ex-
,uses for denying statehood to the great
fertile territory, with her half million in
