chinery and expensiveness of the Internal Rev
enue Bureau, would be popular. The Journal
has frequently urged this, when the officials
to be affected would be Republicans, and is
free to again call attention to it now. The
President advises the passage Of the bill allow
ing the issuance of national bank circulation
on the face value of the bonds deposited, which
is certainly wise and prudent. Other meas
ures are needful for the perpetuity of the
national bank system-if it is to be perpetu-
ated-and to make it more easily adjustable
to the demands of business; but care should
be taken that the security for the circulation
is in no wise impaired, while there might well
be an inquiry whether some legislation is not
necessary for the protection of depositOrs, if
national banks are to continue to be practical
ly the only banks the people have.
The country will approve the recommends
ton for the reduction of the rate oflocal post
age to one cent, and the enlargement of the
unit of letter postage to one ounce. 1t is well
that both the President and Postmaster gen
eral are imbued with the idea that the postal
service is public convenience, and the more
convenient it is made the better it subserves
the purpose of its existence and maintenance.
1t is also gratifying that the wild scheme of
postal telegraph disappears from discus
sion, both in the department report
and in the message. That idea gen
orally aflicts the minds of neophytes
who know little of the practical workings of
the service or of its proper relations to the
public, or of those who, with autocratc incli-
nations, think the government should do ev-
erything, and that they should be the govern
ment. Let us hope we have heard the last of

The recommendations for the rebuilding of

objections will not continue, but that some at
tention will be paid to the necessities OF ma

IT is by no means the happiest way of put
ting it that General Grant should be pen
stoned" What Congress should do is to put
the General on the retired list of the army
with the rank and pay of genera-the rank
he gave up to answer the demand of the coun-
try to become President. Surely, if Fitz
John Porter can be placed upon the retired
list for failure to do his duty, General
Grant should be extended an equally delicate
