ton of Hon. Stevenson Archer, of Hartford county,
who received sixty-one votes to thirty seven cast
for Hon. John S. Cuttings, of Baltimore county.
Less than a month ago it was generally believed
that Mr.. Cuttings would have no opposition and
that he would be chosen his own successor with
out difficulty. But the ways of the politicians
are past finding out. Suddenly, about two weeks
ago, the Hartford delegation brought Mr.. Archer
into the fight and went to work for him vigorous
ly. Soon it was apparent that the Archer people
were making extraordinary Roadway and then it
gradually became noised about that the managers
had espoused his cause. This put the Cuttings
men on their metal and the Baltimore county
members went to work earnestly for their choice,
assisted by many other strong friends, but the
fat had gone forth, Archer must win-and he did.
Naturally the many friends of Mr.. Cuttings in his
own county are not pleased at this result. They
think that he justly entitled to an election at
the hands of the Legislature, as he had shown
himself-during his short term-a thoroughly
competent and worthy officer, discharging his
responsible duties in manner that reflected credit
upon the State as well as upon himself. Notwith-
standing all this he was turned down, and it
would be worse than useless for us to attempt to
explain why or how it was done.
Hon. Stevenson Archer, the successor of Mr.. Git
tings, is gentleman we'll and favorably known
throughout the State. He was four times mem
Der of Congress, and possesses every qualification
necessary to a successful discharge of the duties
of the Treasurership. He will be as popular in
official position as he is in the private walks of
life, in which latter he is esteemed by all for his
| many excellent qualities.

%8~ Mr.. Hazen, the third Assistant Postmaster
General, makes the following suggestions to the
public "Write or print your name and address, on
the contents, if package, upon the upper lett
hand corner of all mail matter. This will insure
its immediate return to you for correction, if i'm
properly addressed or insuficiently paid; and If
it is not called for at destination it can be return
ed to you without going to the Dead Letter Office.
If the patrons of the mails would avail them
selves of this privilege it would enable the De-
partment to restore to the sender at least ninety
per cent of all the undelivered matter. Letters
would be returned free, and parcels upon pay
ment of the return POSTAGE"

G9~The Philadelphia Times says the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company has organized a relief
department which must prove of great benefit to
every employee who takes advantage oft, and it
is not likely that any will refuse. The plan has
been admirably conceived and is chiefly the work
of General Manager Pugh. 1t is backed by the
whole authority of the company, having received
the sanction of the directors. This railroad com
pany has in its employ some forty thousand men
who are within reach Of the benefits of the relief
department. They will not only be brought into
closer and better relations with their employers
and with each other, but they will be we'll provi-
ded for in cases of sickness or accident. The
movement is one to be thoroughly commended.
Like everything else undertaken by the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company it is certain to prove
an entire success to all concerned.
