Complaints About the Mail Service.

Complaints About the Mail Service.
Notwithstanding the complaints that are
constantly sent to the Post Office Depart
ment, there is no noticeable Improvement in
the mail service in this section of the coun-
try. The mails fail as frequently as ever.
There is undoubtedly a remedy for this con-
dition of affairs but those in authority are
either not disposed to apply it or else they
do not know how to do so.
The MORNING NEWS receives almost daily
from subscribers complaints that they fail
to receive their papers promptly. The fol-
lowing from Messrs. n. & A. F. Tiff & Co,
of Albany, Ga, is a fair sample of them:
Your favor Of 10Th received. We have
seen the Postmaster, and he is i'll error as

here are in the same box.

NEWS is the most valuable newspaper we
get, but coming as it does, it is virtually
useless to u.s.
If it were not that Irregularities and
delays in the mails are of long standing it
might be supposed that those of the last
few days were due largely to the accident
at Blackshear, but the mail service should
be so well managed that a railroad acct
dent would not occasion very long inter
ruption of the mails. If the mails Cannot
be sent by one route they should be sent by
another. There are more WAYS than one
to reach almost every place of importance
in the entire country. When mails cannot
be sent to Alnany, Ga, for instance by the
regular mail route they car be sent there
by the way of the East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia railroad or the Central
As the mail service is now managed the
slightest mishap seems to paralyze it. A
very great reform in the mail service is
needed in this section, and the Post Office
Department ought to see that it is made.
A reform in that service is one that the
people would understand and quickly an

Conkling and Depew.

The Republicans are not as anxious to
nominate for President one of their ablest
leaders as they are to nominate some one
who is sufficiently popular to carry New
York. They think if they can carry New
York they can elect their ticket.
Chauncey NJ Depew and Roscoe Conking
are receiving some ate ltion 1t is admitted
that they are both very able men, and that
either would make good President. The
chances, however, that either will be nomi
mated are not good Mr. Depew is at the
head of one Of the greatest railroad corpo-
ra:ions in the country. and if he were made
Presidential candidate some of the preju-
dice against railroads that exists in all parts
of the country would be transferred to him
1t is doubtful if he would make as good a
run as any one of a dozen men in New
York who are his equal neither in ability nor
in personal popularity. 1t may be safely said,
therefore, that he is out of the Presidential
race
1t is quite certain that Mr. Conkling
couldn't carry New York His course in
1854 is ainst him. New York Republi-
cans believe that if he had done his whole
duty in that campaign Mr. Blaine would
have been elected A New York paper lately
sent a letter containing number of in
quiries to all the New York members of
Congress and to the members of the Legis-
lature of that State. One of the inquiries
was this: Would it be advisable for Mr.
Conkling TO take an active part in politics
this year, Another was whether it would
be advisable TO nominate him for President
The great majority Of those who answered
the inquiries expressed the opinion
that it would be mistake 10 nominate him
because the friends of Blaiue, and the nun
Der OF them is very large. would take pleas
ure IN bringing about his defeat Nearly
all Of them, however, said that they would
he glad to see him resume his old position
of leadership. They believed. they said.
that with his aid and a good candidate
their party could carry New York, and get
control of the government.
There will be a great deaI>of talk about
both Mr. Depew and Mr. Conking as pos
sible candidates before the meeting of the
national convention, but it can be safely
assumed that neither will be nominated.

character OF those who see proper
to think for themselves, and in
so doing, do not permit the yapor-
ings Of their brain force TO filter
through the same funnel used by
their solt appointed censors. We
have known fright here in White
Oaks, man who was the vilest
spoken and acting person in tho
town, whose presence was blight,
and heath, pollution, who sudden-
ly averred that for the second or
third time he had found his Jesus,
after which he consumed all Of his
spare time, and mnch that he
should not have spared, in black
ening the regulations of men and
women, the latchets of whose
shoes he was unworthy to unloose,
until finally his own reputation was
as black MS the person Of u sweep
just emerged from a dirty Chin
ney.
1t is such men, men who mistake
the braying of a donkey for
" call" to preach Christ and Him
crucified to a dying and sinful
world, that sets true religion back
and causes those who would other
wise earnestly look up from the
windows of their souls to those Of
heaven, in honor to, and adulatlon
of the Lord, withdraw their devo-
votions and despite native innate
promptings, become skeptics.
No Ishmaelite is worthy the
pulpit. None should enter it
whose heart does not reach ont in
kindness to his fellow man. They
turn Christians into infidels, and
infdels into devils. They are
charnel houses breeding naught
but rottenness and decay.

Since ceming here. l have heard the
editor of paper in this county, and a
preaching editor, too, referred to as pos
sessed of peculiar habits.
Even the pulpit is invaded to find sub
Iects for the malicious tongues that wag
their neighbor's undong.
Why, that man is the soul of honor

good and holy man, that educator of the
masses, that magnanimous defender of
the poor, was compelled to take solemn
oath that he could not trust to the judg
ment or justice of Lincoln County jury.
In other words, this good and pious man
had been so slandered and mathematical
that he could not risk the possibility of
finding twelve men in Lincoln County
who would do his cause justice. Or in
still other words, this disciple of the Sa-
viour could not trust "a Lincoln County
jury, even though Chief Justice Long
pronounced our juries the best he had
seen in the Territory.

SAM SMALL-DIXEY.
THURSDAY FRIDAY.

Every body has heard of sam
Jones and Sam Small. They are
links OF the same sausage. In the
name Of religion they give per.
tormances which in a circus tent
would be hlssed. They are vulgar
and profane, yet the clergy OF the
different cities they visit, receive
them with open arms, and by pre-
senting themaelves upon the same
stage, stand as sponsors tor their
Punch and Judy performances.
Each admit that but short pc.
riod since, they were whisky guz-
zlers, gamblers, Democrats, ballot
box suffers, and everything to be
found in right down mean lexi-
con. And now that they profess
to have been converted, they ex-
haust the vocabulary of Billings
gate in denouncing all who do not
give them their hands and dollars.
Sam Small bids fair to get Ro,
land for his Oliver. A week or
two ago, at Kansas City, he ran
against snag which is liable to
shipwreck him. While he was
holding forth in the "city of the
Kaw," giving what might be
properly characterized as a travesty
on religion, the popular Dixey was
giving entertainments with his
troupe, and because Dixey drew
larger pay audiences than San
Small did free ones with a hat col

TRIP TO FORT STANTON.

One day last week, we seated
ourset in buggy alongside of Jno.
A. Brown, with Ft, Stanton as
our objective point. The day was
all that mortal could wish for.
But ore cloud tloated in the heav-
ems and It's white, feecy form
seemed to add beauty to the blue
arch a 1t fitted from position to

The temperature necessitated no

When we left here, we were
somewhat impressed with the con
yiction that upon our back was To-
eating boil, and the ride did not
cont ibute to remove the impress

About 8 a. m, Tuesday, we
turned our carbuncle side to Fort
Stanton and oar tace to White
Oaks. Arriving at Nogal about
noon hour we tarried awhile with
Capt. Roberts, whom we found bu-
sy taking stock of his store goods.
Nogal has increased the number OF
it's houses since our last visit, and
is now a respectable sized town,
but upon what it's future is based
by the builders surpasses our com
prehension. Some OF the citizens
were innocent enough to answer
