PROGRESS.

MESSRS. EDITORS:- as not the time
come for the press and the business men of
our community to speak out about the gross
irregularity of our mails? Or has it come
to this-that the people and the Govern
ment have no rights which railroad compa-
MES are bound to respect?
The z. nj. General prescribes schedules
by which mails are to be transported and
delivered; contracts are made in pursuance
of these schedules by railroad companies
and other carriers to transport and deliver
them at the times and places designated
Every POOR man who gets mail contract
feels bound to comply with it and if he fails
to do SO, he is reported as delinquent and
finedl
But how is it with railroad companies
For weeks past the G. & 0. R. R. has been
behind time about one hour every day in
the delivery of the mails. The public con-
venience and their contract obligations are
subordinate considerations compared with
the private interests of the railroad compa-
MES or the wishes of their agents.
1t is to be hoped our new postmaster will
call the attention Of the P. M. General to
this objectionable delinquency and that Mr.
Villas will see that the contracts of the rail
road companies are faithfully complied
with and the rights OF the people TO prompt
delivery of their mails indicated.
The promise of the present Administra-
ton is that the affairs of the Government
shall be administered in the interests of the
people, Here is q case for the fulfillment
of that promise. "Justice TO all-favors to
none" should be it's motto. Laws and con-
tracts should not be like cobwebs, which
catch the little flies, while the big ones
break through! Let the big railroad COM
panies be held to as strict fulfillment of
their contracts and duties as the humblest
citizen.

rested on supports at the door of the
sepulchre, and the casket was deposited
therein.
DIR. Newman and Bishop Harris then

The people of Goodson, Va, have voted
a subscription of $25, 200 to finish the mar
row-gauge railroad from Goodson- Bristol
through Scott and Wise counties to the
Kentucky line. This Improvement will de-
velop one Of the finest regions
in the Virginia Southwest. Twelve
years ago, when General Pridemore repre-
sented that section in the Virginia Senate,
he delivered an address before the Rich
mond Chamber of Commerce descriptive Of
that hidden and unknown region of natural
wealth, and from that circumstance this en-
terprise received its first start. 1t will be
finished and in time, with other projected
narrow-gau railroad schemes, form con-
nected line from Claremount, on the lower
James River, aia Sussex Courthouse,
Clerksville, Danville, and thence through
the border counties of Virginia to Goodson-
Bristol, to Kentucky. These schemes are
some Of the ''coon-tracks, so called in de-
rision. A few years more and the public
will be amazed with the amount of local
benefit they bestow on the interior towns
and country alike.
Staunton has now the opportunity to be-
come the emporium of an immense interior
commerce, of dormant wealth, which mar
row-gauge railroad will bring into full play
for her benefit But it is said she should
not take part in any such Improvement. OF
course she never will unless the effort is
made. Railroads will nevertheless develop
that country, but it's resources will contrib.
ute but little, if anything, then for the ben
eft of Staunton.
