INDIANA POSTAL BUSINESS.
Revenues of the Principal Postoffices During
the Past Year.

Revenues of the Principal PostOffices During
the Past Year.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
WAsH1NdToN, Jan 10.-The statistical in
formation compiled by the postofhce people is
very interesting, not alone as showing the growth
and development of the postal establishment,
but also because it affords an insight into the
business prosperity of the country. 1t is well
understood by the officials that for postoice bus
mess to be good, the business community must
be prosperous, as the receipts depend largely
upon this fact. In looking over the departmental
compilations, there is much to be found of inter
est to Indiana, and consequently it is reproduced
for the benefit of the readers of the Journal.
Owing to the network of railroads in the State
over which the great through mails are trans
ported, the service is not sustaining but
there can be no doubt that for all facilities fur
nished to the people of Indiana, the department
is amply repaid.
During the last year the total postal receipts
in Indiana amounted to 81, 1872, 992 O3, while the
total expenditures were 81, ,323, 1866 GA, making an
excess of expenditures over receipts of $l30,
37461. The principal source of revenue was of
course, from the sale of postage stamps, stamped
12S611.79. From box rents the department. Sc
cured $63, 1872 &c, and from the sale of waste pa
per, $886.09
AS already indicated, the principal item of ex-
penditure was for the transportation Of the
mails, for which there was paid $639, 904.5 So The
compensation of postmasters reached the sum of
1891, 48l a. and the payments for clerks in post
offices, rent and fuel amounted to $l06 026 SO.
Letter carriers received $G5, 050. 81, and railway
postal clerks, $3.50 9O267
All the leading cities of the State are much
more than self-sustaining returning Uncle Sam
good profit for the advantages furnished
The gross revenue of the Indianapolis Office
was $l95, 06l. So, while the total expenses were
but 81 SO5. 49, leaving net revenue of $l23,-
25567. The percentage of expense on the gross
receipts was only 81 per cent The office ex-
penses were $40, 15l.2O and the free-delivery
service $3l, ,654.69.
The other cities of the State also make good
showing
At Evansville the gross revenue was $40, $40 20;
the total expenses, $17984 0S, and the net reve-
nue. $22, ,3S6. II; the Office expenses, $40 4s6 10,
and for the free-delivery, 81, 1875.
Fort Wayne had gross revenue amounting to
$685. 87555, and total expenses $17, 748 93, making
the net revenue, $21, 1862 Office expenses $40,
149 20; free-delivery, $7,59973.

THE OHIO INFAMY.

Mr. Warner Gives His Views in Terse and
Vigorous English.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13-The nomination of
Mr.. Payne to succeed Mr.. Pendeton by Ohio
Democrats, continues to be the theme of discus
sion here, and rumor prevails to the effect that
bolt is probable when the time for the election
arrives Representative Warner who was at
Columbus during the progress of the senatorial
contest, has returned to Washington, and is out
spoken in his denuncation of the methods by
which Mr.. Payne succeeded In the course of a
conversation on this subject, Mr. Warner is re-
ported by the Post as saying:
Il protest that what has been done at Colum-
bus is not the deliberate act of the Democracy
of Ohio; on the contrary, l affirm in the face of
all that has been DONE that the great
body of the men composing the Democratic party
in my State have been, and still are sincere in
their opposition to monopoly and the corrupt use
OF money to gain political advantage, and in their
declarations in favor of better civil service.
The nomination of Payne was the result of
cut-throat combination between Mclean and the
Enquirer crowd of Cincinnati and the Standard
Oil Company. 1t was brought by methods which
every one who is in favor of free institutions,
and has faith in popular government must
abhor and condemn. The truth is, that the
Ohio Democracy has been deceived and
basely betrayed by certain men to whom it had
confided sacred trusts. 1 should not be sur
prised if there was a bolt. believe in abiding
by honest caucus action. If men take part in
legislative caucus which is not controlled by dis
honest means they are in honor bound to accept
the result, even if it be not wholly to their
their thinking; but when caucus results are
brought about by dishonest methods; when
caucus action is influenced by bribery, as 1 be
lieve can be proved in this case, do not see how
self-respecting men can permit themselves to be
bound by it. l do not believe that any one
should make himself an accessory to the crime
of bribing by assisting in the election of the
very man who hopes to profit by its commission.
There are some honest, determined men among
the Democrats in the Ohio Legislature and
shall not be surprised if they lead successful
revolt against corruption and jobbery. Mistakes
honestly made may be overlooked; but those
who corruptly destroy trust involving rights
and liberties can never be forgiven"

The letter-carrers are universally conceded to
earn their salary but very few have any ade-
quate idea of the vast amount of work they are
called upon to do The figures, though, will
tell the story palmer than words, and the city of
indianapolis will be taken as the illustration.
In indianapolis there are thirty three letter
carriers. During the last year they delivered
from the mails coming into the city 3,23S, 500
letters, 983, 995 postal-cards, and A, l47
registered letters. In addition the local mail
delivered numbered 514, 449 letters and $40, 358
postal cards. The newspapers delivered num-
bered 2,308,6l7 During the same time they col
lected 9, $50 645 letters, 1,00S,04 postal cards,
and BOA, 895 newspapers. The total number of
pieces of mail matter handled was IL ,263 929, an
average for each carrier of BAL 331. The cost of

AMERICAN PORK ABROAD.
A French COnsul's Statement of the Reason
Why France Excludes Our Product.

ST LOUIS, Jan 13.-Emile Karst, the French
consul to this city in an interview regarding
the action of the French government in rela-
ton to American pork, has made the following
statement: IAN entirely erroneous impression
prevails in the United States on the French
governments course. 1t is generally believed
here that the prohibition of American pork i'm
portation was the result of unscrupulous lobby
ing in the French Chambers This is all wrong
Lobbyists are unknown in France. The whole
truth of the matter is my government was in
formed that 100000 pounds of diseased
American pork was about to be shipped abroad
The French minister at Washington was noti-
fled to inquire into the matter. and found, al
though perhaps not so great an amount
had been, or was to be exported, still very
large proportion of that sent abroad was the
meat of animals which died from hog cholera
The American inspector at Chicago himself
declared that s per cent of the hogs exported
were diseased. These facts being tranmitted to
France, an embargo on the American hog was
the result Rather than take the chances of
eating trichin@ in affected pork in Paris, they
decided to have none at all. That is the whole
secret of the much agitated and much less un-
derstood American hog question in France

THE FREE-TRADERs.
Reasons for the Attack Mr.. Randall by
the Speakers Secretary.

Special TO the indianapolis journal.
WAsHINGToN, Jan l3.-The second dispatch
of Mr. Nelson, private secretary of Speaker
Carlisle, attacking Mr. Randall is attaching even
more attention here than at first While Mr.
Carlisle did not know the first was to be printed
he said after it appeared that it expressed his
views AS to the second it is declared to be
with his knowledge. The Interpretation put
upon it is that the revenue reform Democrats
are determined to force their free trade notions
on the next national convention, and with them
also the nomination of one of their own
leaders. For these reasons they have begun an
attack on Randall because they fear he may ap-
pear in the convention with the support Of the
conservative elementof his party. The sharp at
tack made on Mr. Randall practically by the
Speaker himself is causing general ferment

THE MUTT TRIAL.
Dukes's Slayer Transferred to Pittsburg
The Defense Confident of Acquittal.

PITTsBuRe, Jan. 12-James Mutt, the avenger
of his fathers murder, arrived in this city from
Uniontown, this morning in charge of Sheriff
Curling of Fayette county. Tney were accom-
panied by Stephen r. Mutt, an uncle of young
Mutt. The party left the Uniontown Jail about
z o'clock this morning, and, as it was not known
they would leave so early, there was only a
small crowd witnessed their departure The
train pulled out from the depot amid the waving
of hats. When Connellsville was reached Sher-
iff Curling took Mutt from the passenger coach
and placed him in the mail department of the
baggage car. in order to escape the crowd of
curiosity seekers.
BY this time it had been teiegraphed all along
the line that Mutt was the train, and at every
> station crowds of people were waiting for the
train to pass, hoping to get glimpse of the pris-
oner. AT Dawson Station number of people
loudly cheered the train as it passed by. AT
Suffers Station bevy of young ladies were as
sembled at the window, waving handkerchefs to
the inmates of the car. When the train reached
West Newton three young girls passed through
the cars with bouquet of natural flowers. which
they presented to the young hero, and then
alighted, and the train moved on. When the
train reached the Grand-street station, in this
city, large crowd was assembled to get q glimpse
of the famous prisoner. but they were disap-
pointed, the party did not come out on the
platform, and the train again pulled out but
stopped at Ross street. where the party all qui-
city got off and proceeded up that street to the
Jail. He has little to say, and speaks only when
spoken to. He has been in Jail at Uniontown
213 days
This morning, Drs. Ayres and Wiley, late of
the Dixmont Insane Asylum. spent two hours
with him with the object of making observations
from which to testify for the prosecution con
cerning Nuts mental condition. He did not
know this and talked freely. The balance of
the day was spent in reading and keeping
closely in his cell, Mayor Brown, Nuts
counsel, says everything is ready for
the trial. He claims the evidence supporting
the theory of emotional insanity and other testi-
mony, the character of which he declined to
state, will be so strong that conviction is impos-
sible Representatives of the Commonwealth
have nothing to say, but Dukess friends claim
Judge Stowe will weaken the insanity theory in
his charge to the jury. The same council that
appeared at Uniontown will have charge of the
ease Nuts mother, and his sister Lizzie, who
was the subject of Dukes's letters and otherrela
tives, will arrive tomorrow and remain until
!. the verdict is announced. How long the trial
will last can not be stated. A hundred witnesses
have been subpRnaed.

THE MEXICAN TREATY.
Serious Objections Raised to Its Ratification
by the Senate.


WASHINGTON, Jan 13--Tt is expected a con-
siderable portion of the present week will be de
voted by the Senate to the consideration of the
Mexican reciprocity treaty A proposition has
been made in executive session for the discus
sion to take place with open doors. Many sena-
tors expressed themselves in favor, but prece-
dents, with one exception, are against such a
course and il is uncertain what decision will be
reached. 1t is believed the treaty will be rati-
fed. but serious objections will be made in the
progress of the discussion. There are senators
who apprehend that war and prospective annex
alton will result from complications which they
think sure to grow out of attempts by
Americans to establish themselves in Mexico
Others hold the opinion that if the President
and Senate may establish free trade relations
with one nation it may with all, and thus ex-
clude a popular branch Of Congress from any
participation in the exercise of one of the most
important functions of the government, that of
raising revenue. 1t also will be argued that re
ciprocity treaties exist between Mexico and other
powers, comforting upon them all the advantages
granted the most favored nation and ratification
of the present treaty would not therefore confer
upon the United States conspicuous advantages
since other treaty nations must be admitted to
share its benefits. The provisions of the treaty
declare that the ratification must take place the
present week or the matter falls.
