WEARING OUT THE LAW.
An Englishman Remains Seven Years in
Ludlow-Street Jail. and Grows Weary.

NEW York, Dec. Judge O. German to-day
in the Superior Court, special term, denied a
motion to release Augustine Mcdonald from
Ludlow-street Jail, where he has been confined
since February. 1879 Mcdonald was British
subject in 1874 He had claim against the
United States for cotton belonging to him, which
was destroyed during the war. He employed
Charles E. Hovey and Fl. T. Dole to prosecute
the ciam and an award was made in favor of
Mcdonald for $197, 100 in gold upon which Hovey
and Dole, under written agreement, claimed a
lien for their services. They brought suit
in the Supreme Court of the District
of Columbia, to enforce their lien.
Mcdonald demurred to their complaint,
and, upon its being sustained, the bonds were
returned to him. He then sold them for about
$lO0.OOO, and came to this city. Hovey 81 Dole
appealed and reversal was had, upon which
Mcdonald was directed to restore the property.
He refused, and was adjudged in contempt. and
his answer being stricken out. Judgment was
entered against him for $40 297 90 in the month
of April, 1873. Upon this Judgment Hovey &
Dole sued Mcdonald in the Supreme Court of
this city, and he was lodged in Jail in February,
1879 upon charge of having converted the
money to his own use. A motion in his behalf
to vacate the order of arrest was denied, and
upon appeal he met with better success. He

in Jail for nearly years he applied to Judge
o. German to set aside the judgment and give
him leave to defend the suit and interpose an
answer. The Judge denied the application to-
day In lengthy opinion, in which e says:
1T he has suffered long Imprisonment in the
case, it has been by his own fault. l see moth
ing in his conduct to entite him now to the
extraordinary indulgence of the court The
question seems to chiefly be whether the de-

endurance of the penalty imposed upon him by
another, will succeed in wearing out the author

GRIEVANCES OF POSTMASTERS.
Third and Fourth-C Class officials Arrange for
the Holding of i Convention.

CHICAGO, Dec. "A meeting OF the third and
fourth-class postmasters of Cook and adjoining
counties was held this morning. The object is
to choose town suitable for the holding of a
convention, in the near future at which will be
brought up for consideration some of the griev-
ances of these classes of officials They claim at
present to be under the disadvantage of not re-
ceiving sufficient compensation for the amount
of work they Go. In the first place they clai m
to receive low salaries, have to pay the rent of
the places occupied as postofices, and. when
necessary, as sometimes is the case, to procure
assistance. they are compelled to pay these as
sistants. Therefore. it turns out sometimes,
they say, they are left entirely without compen-
sation
1t was decided 10 hold the convention in Chi
cago, Feb. 15 1885, A committee of seven was
chosen to make arrangements for the convention.
1t was decided to ask the postmasters of each
congressional district to meet at their usual
place of holding congressional meetings on the
second Tuesday in January, and elect their del
egates. 1t was also decided to publish in the
Postal Guide circular letter asking postmas-
ters Of the third-class to contribute ST. and those
of the fourth class. SO cents in order to defray
the expenses. After some other preliminary
work, the meeting adjourned.

THE GENERAL MAIL SERVICE
A Comprehensive Abstract of Postmas-
.ter-General Vilas's Annual Report.
The Cost of Carrying the Peoples Correspond
ence-Details of Various Methods by
Which Mail Matter is Forwarded.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The report of Post
master general Villas ia a voluminous document,
consisting Of 1853 pages Of printed matter. The
portions of the report in which the public is in
terested are appended. Mr.. Villas says:
The annual report upon the affairs of this de-
partment-which have the honor to sub
INIT to your consideration-undertak accord
ing to usage. to exhibit especially the past year
ended with June, and the lessons suggested by
its experiences. the pending operations of the
current year which require any particular men
ton, the estimates for the coming year to begin
with next July, and such discussion OF special
topics and recommendations of legislation as its
officers think may tend to improvement of the
service.
The past fiscal year has witnessed three per
sons at the head of the administration OF the
department 1t was, when the year begun,
under the charge of the Hon. Walter q. Ores
ham, who resigned this Office on the 24th day OF
September, 1884, to assume the duties of the
Secretary of the Treasury. To him succeeded
the Hon. Frank Hatton, whose services as Post
rnaster-general commenced on the 14th
day Of October. 1884, and terminated,
upon the acceptance of his resignation.
on the Eth of March last, at which
date, by virtue Of your commission, took the
Office. The exposition Of the transactions OF the
year must. therefore, be in the greater part de-
rived from the books and records, which imposes
the risk of less satisfactory presentation of the
affairs in which had no part than my distin-
euished predecessors would have given for them
selves-a risk lesseped by their able admnistra-
ton and faithful records.
The financial summary of the year shows
considerable increase in the deficiency of the
postal revenues to sustain the cost of the postal
service This deficiency has now attained to a
large figure, and it will contribute to an under
standing of the causes of its existence and of
the manner in which they have operated their
effects to state the general exhibits of the past
year in contrast with similar showings of the
two preceding years. The following condensed
statements, derived from the auditors Office and
the finance division of the department, show the
expenditures for the two first years, not as, in
part, estimated in the annual reports, but cor
rected according to subsequent facts; while the
cost for the past year is necessarily in small part
the subject of estimate only
