The appointments which the President has made
for Albany are well received by the great body
of the Republicans Of that city. General Warner.
who has hccn named for Postmaster, made gil
LIANT record in the war Of the Rebellion and his
achieved o large measure of success as man Of
business. He is fitted alike by character and
capacity to render the public good and faithful
service as Postmaster. Ex.Congressman John NJ
Bailey the Presidents choice for Collector, is
one of the best known citizens of Albany, whose
popularity is attested by his repeated elections to
office in what has commonly been regarded as
Democratic stronghold. Like General Warner ne
is an old soldier, who did his whole duty by the
flag. And now that the Albany Republicans have
got the Federal appointments of their mind, Will

rest of the Republicans Of the State expect them

THE report of Postmaster-General Wanna
makers negotiations with the Western Union
looking to the establishment of a postal tele-
graph system for the whole country, is OF so
great Importance, and at the same time involves
arrangements of such obvious difficulty, that it
can hardly be discussed igently until nege-
tiatons have been completed and the terms OF
cooperation fixed. At first thought, it seems
somewhat doubtful whether any adjustment
equitable to the Government and beneficial to
the telegraph company can be devised. But 1t
appears that the company already has to spend
a large every year in the delivery OF mes
sages which would be avoided, at least in cities
where the postal service has free delivery sys-
TEN, without materially increased expense to the
Government On the other hand, in conSdera-
ton of this reduction in expenses, the telegraph
company could obviously afford to make some re-
duction in its charges for messages forwarded
through Government officials If the Postmaster
General succeeds in carrying out an arrangement
Of such Importance, it will mark his administra-
ton of the department with signal success. AT
the same time it is proper to remember that all
the squnt-eyed critics in the country, and all the
people of microscopic minds, will be sure to con-
clude that the interests of the Nation must some
how have been sacrificed in any arrangement
whatever between the Government and the Western
Union.
