Penny Postage.

There is no good reason why Congress
should not reduce the rates Of postage
uDCn several classes of mail matter.
But certainly the law in regard to let
ters-first- matter-should be SO
changed as to allow letters weighing an
ounce to be sent through the mails upon
the payment of one cent each. One
cent per ounce is sixteen cents pound,
or sixteen dollars per hundred pounds.
Evidently, then, the present rate OF
two cents an ounce was not based
upon the cost of transportation,
but upon some other considera-
ton. What was that other considera-
ton? We can only guess the an
swer to this interrogatory; but We sup
pose that there was in the minds Of the
members of Congress vague notion that
there was some other and greater respOn
sibility involved in the transmission Of
letters than in the transmission of malta
BILE matter of the other classes. But this
is not the fact for the Government
does not hold itself responsible
for the safe carriage or delivery
of mailable letters OF any class-not even
registered letters nor postal orders, we
believe. II letter is lost in traRsitu
from Washington to Richmond the
sender and the sendee have upon the
Government no claim whatever based
upon the fact of its loss. The letter has
been lost, and that is the end of
it. Matter Of the other classes
cannot well fare any worse than
matter of the first class. There is no
doubt that the Post-Oflice Department
would still receive liberal pay for the
transportation OF letters even if the rate
of postage were reduced to one cent per
ounce. Besides, the people ought to be
encouraged TO write letters. The writing
of many letters is sign Of civilization
and enlightenment. II is an educating
process. 1t tends to elevate the whole
community and to render the body-poli' \
tic homogeneous. 1t is bond OF union
between the several States. 1t is anti
sectional iii its operation. 1t preserves
the unity of families separated by dis
lance. II benefits even little children.
How can the question of cost be allowed !
TO influence any congressman vote upon |
such a measure p?
Editors now pay only one cent
pound for the privilege of sending their
papers through the mails. Why should |
anybody be made to pay more

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.I
JANUARY ~, 1888.
The annual convention OF the Young
Mems Christian Associations OF Virginia
will be held in the rabb-Street Presby-
terian church, in this city, on the Nth OF
February, continuing three days. A
meeting was held tonight to make ar
Engagements for the accommodation
of the visitors. ID is expected
that many delegates will be pres
ent, including the secretaries OF
the various associations Ii is also
learned that a number of secretaries and
fraternal representatives from the States
of New York, Tennessee, North Caro-
lima, South Carolina. and the District OF
Colupb ia will attend the sessions OF the
convention and take part in its proceed
ings. Questions of importance as to
association work and the good results
that have been accomplished will be dis
cussed.
The funeral Of Miss Kate Williams
took place at IL o'clock to-day from the
1abb-Sueet Presbyterian church, and
the very large assemblage present of peo-
pie of all denominations gave evidence
of the high esteem in which the deceased
was held in the community. She was
lady of great excellence of character,
whose life was devoted to good works
and the advancement of religion.
A number OF retail. dealers were sum-
moned before the mayor this morning
to answer the charge of violating the
market ordinance in selling fresh meats
at their stores during market hours.
Where the fact of such sales was estab-
lished fine of 81 was imposed.
Mr.. Morris Levy, well-known mer-
chant of this city, has gone to Florida
for the benefit of his health.
The young mems prayer-meetings this
week have been so largely attended that
it has been found necessary to hold them
in the main room OF the Washington
Street church. Last night some six or
seven hundred persons were present.
General Malone to-day presented the
Young Mems Christian Association with
a large number OF valuable public docu-
ments.
Several northern gentlemen interested
in the establishment OF the water-gas
works here arrived in the city this after
noon.
Bishop Randolph will visit the Epis-
copal churches in this city next month
and administer the rite OF confirmation.

A Singular objection.

A gubernatorial boom having been
started for Congressman HENDERSON, Of
the Seventh North Carolina district, the
Hickory Press and Coroiinian objects.
II says: "All that has been said of Mr..
HENDERSON is true, but We want him
to remain in Congress. AS Governor
he could do nothing towards repeating
the abominable internal-revenue in
iquity, but as a member Of Congress he
may do a great deal. This is rather a
singular way of showing friendship,
that is provided Mr.. HENDERSON has gu
bernatorial aspirations. Yet it goes to
prove how intense is the feeling in the
Old North State against the internal
revenue system.

A correspondent who says he is a
Know-Nothing asks us if it would not
be Il shame for the Democrats to unseat
Mr. Houston ? Not il he is not entitled
to the seat. We would not decide such
q question on party grounds. We have
not said word rs to whether MIR. HoUs-
TON ought to be unseated or not, but
simply claimed that the Senate had full
power over the matter. In the Gooch-
land case We objected decidedly to any
action on the part of the election
officers looking to q decision as to
the eligibility Of the candidate re-
turned. In that case We took the
ground that as the House Of Delegates
was the sole Judge of the qualifications
of its members, no other body had any
right to pass upon it. The candidate
whose cause we espoused was a Republi-
can. His case came before the House OF
Delegates, which very properly refused
to seat him. We make the same claim
in the HoUsToN case-nameiy. that as the
Senate is the sole Judge of the elections
of its members, the two houses
together-that is to say, the Legis-
lature-cannot rightfully interfere with
the exercise of that power. This, our
correspondent will observe, is not saying
that Mr.. Houston ought 10 be unseated.
We leave that question to the Senate.
1t must be decided upon its merits. All
we contend for is that the Senate has a
clear right to unseat him.

How TO Pay the Interest On the Rid
dIebergers.

To the Editor Ofthc Dispatch:
Under the high-license lawof Illinois
the number of saloons in the State has
been reduced from 1900 to 10000, and
the revenue from the liquor traffic has
increased from $1,000 to S5,OUO, 600.
From this Increased revenue the cities of
Chicago, Springfield, Peoria, Quincy,
Bloomington. and Jacksonville have been
able to pave their streets, beautify their
parks, and improve theirpolice force and
sanitary condition"
1t is doubted by many well-informed
persons if the agitation of prohibition
and It's partial adoption in many local.
ties in Virginia has resulted in less
drunkenness than would have been oc-
clsioned by an improved civilization and
the united action OF all the Christian
churches in that direction. Indeed, If
less liquor has been consumed through
ont the limits of the COmmOnwe alth for
the current year than heretofore, Stats
tics have yet to be aIduced to prove the
fact.
Admit these facts, admit that they are
doubtful, or even that they are partially
true. then does it not behoOve the Gene
raj Assembly of Virginia in its wisdom
TO inquire into this matter, and ii it will
do half for us that it has done in Hi
nois, to adopt it?
The only possible plan to legislate
men sober is to stop distllling altogether,
which will never be done. 1t is con-
ceeded by all but professional tenn
perance lecturers that the next best plan
is high License, connected with stringent
laws regulating the sale, which would
insure a more respectable and RESPONSE
bic class OF men to be engaged IN the
liquor traffic.
The tax on foreign drummers is gone,
and let the tax on liquor dealers gO, even
in large part, and the probable deficit in
the Treasury will make it necessary to
add to the public revenue further tax
on land 10 meet the interest on the pub
Tic debt, as ascertained by the Riddle
berger settlement (for | presume that
both parties are now too sOlemnly
pledged to that settlement to advocate
any other and if the taxes are raised
upon land it will be followed by howl
of indignation from the people such as
was never heard before. All the clamor
upon the subject of temperance has so
far done no good, except that the agita-
tation has caused more stringent laws to
be passed and caused them TO be better
executed. Now, "nothing succeeds like
success, and let the Legislature pass a
hlicense law, snd let 1t lead to the
results it has done in Illinois, as doubt
not 1t will, and it will be hailed with Joy
by the temperance-men, except the pro-
fessional peripatetic temperance lecturer
and q few extremists. SRNEx.

Suggestive.

Terrible as was the Haverhill railroad
disaster, in which ten persons lost their
lives and several more were injured, there
is one consoling reflection connected
with it. Such was the nature of the aC'
cident that had the cars been stove
heated instead of heated fire would
have been added to the other horrors,
and some of the wounded and many of
the passengers who we're uninjured
would have been burned to death before
they could have been gotten ont Of the
wreck. There is a suggestion here not
only to railroad companies but to legis-
latures.

Civil Service Reform.

Mr.. HALE's attack upon the President
on "Wednesday was converted into a
boomerang by Mr.. BUTLER, who showed
that the man who WAS censuring the
President had himself committed an
offence against what is called "civil-ser-
vice reform" We do not consider MIR.
HALE's speech as one calculated TO
damage MIR. CLEVELAND in the slight
est degree in the estimation Of
the voters generally. There is an
unexpresSod apprehension in the pub
lie mind that civilservice reform points
out the route and leads the way to huge
civil-pension list. Also. that "the inso-
leuce of Office would become intolera-
BILE under such system. There are 50
many good men advocating this alleged
reform that it is not pleasant even TO
hint that it might prove to be costly
experiment. We cannot but wonder
at the fanatical earnestness which
chaIacterizes some at least of the
advocates of lfe-tenure for all
Government officials as distinguished
from Government officers. Their I'M
doubling confidence that theirs is the
only genuine remedy for the evils of the
body polite is hardly surpassed by the
confidence OF &C. g." Of Boston, The
Nations well-known correspondent, that
the presence of the Presidents Cabinet
in the House of Representatives would
cure all tho evils of legislation. Mr.
CLEVELAND likes the Mugwumps so well,
We suppose, that Mr. HALE's attack Will
not cause him to desert them but all
the same we must believe that he would
be quite as popular with the masses if all
that Mr. HALE said Of him on Wednes-
day had been true.
