POSTAL TELEGRAPHY.
Postmaster General Wana-
makers Scheme.
A RECENT LETTER MADE PUBLIC
The Plan Defended in the Most
Earnest Terms-lts Constitu-
tionality Undoubted.

WAsHrSGroN, Oct. o. Post master Gem
orll Wauumaker tonight made public
the letter recently addressed TO the chair
man of the house committee on post
offices, embodying an elaborate orgu-
ment in favor of his limited plan OF
postal telegraph. Appended to- the lot
ter is n mass of matter pertaining to the
subject making altogether 223 pages,
closely printed.
The postmaster general in the letter
says, in part: "After standing for the
year past in the midst of controversy
over postal telegraphy that for every
forty years has gone on with sharper
tone and widening range | am more
than ever convinced of the wisdom and
practicapility of restoring the telegraph
to the postal service and making II what
il was originally intended TO be-a part
OF the postal system. | say this after
closely studying the arguments
against the bill made so vigorously by
the great telegraph company, which is
now its only visible opponent. l don't
believe it is possible to argue this ques-
ton down. There is deep and far
reaching conviction among the people
that the telegraph service is by right
part of the postal service.

case of Dillon, o. 'Brien and Others 10
being heard, re-conyened this morning.

uealy. were absent, in consequence Of
an important engagement elsew here.
In behalf OF O'Mshoney, Dillon pro-
duced certificates from two colonial
doctors, stating that ho was seriously i'll
and that itw was impossible for him to
attend the trial.
Roman, prosecutor for tho crown, OBJ
jccted to the certificates, as not valid,
because, he insisted, the doctors should
be summoned to testify as to the
patients condition. Dillon and the
doctors certificate would have been ac-
cepted as evidence, but the doctors
themselves had distinctly refused to
come to court to substantiate the state
monts already made.
Roman then asked that the court ad-
journ for an hour to enable the crown to
decide whether the charge against o. Ma
honey be Withdrawn or an application
be made for u warrant for his arrest.
The request was granted.
Upon the rsassembling of the court
Roman stated that the prosecution had
telegraphed two odoctors in Clonmel to
examine " Mahoney. He expected the
doctors would appear In coart later and
testify as to o. Mahoney's condition. lie
therefore asked the court to take further
adjourn ment. Roman said that OMa-
honey, through his solicitors, had placed
the court at defiance.

OF Dickens "A Christmas Carol given by
Locke Richardson at the Unitarian church last
evening, it is but just to say that nothing ever
written by Dickens could be given with greater
force. Mr.. Richardson possesses in q singular
degree the faculty of investing his multitude of
characters with those qualities of goodness, love,
JOY, lonz Isl ffaring and kindness that thrills the
heart of every nearer, and as has been said 1.-The
sweet melody of the Christmas carol was waited
ito every soul; many tears were shed and
many hearts were made glad
This evening the great play of Othello will be
given, at the same place. What a wonderful
memory Mr.. Richardson possesses-never the
least hesitation. He reei.es tragedy. come6y
both-everything. with the same command of
language. and matchless grace of manner. A
master of dramatic action. proficient in Delsarte
physical culture, also thoroughly acquainted
with theatrical work, he possesses advantages
that make his several readings highly profta-
ble from an educational standpoint. as well as
entertaining.

Graves reported from the special committee on
census the action which had been taken in
making canvass Of the city to find out those
who hal not been enumerated
Mr. Rochester, from the same committee, re-
ported that in the Second ward of which he
had charge, he had found, as near a. could be
determined, 500 persons who had not been emu :
uerated.
Mr.. Prosch said that In his opinion the re-
count in three districts was sufficient 10 warrant
recount in three or four more districts. He
recommended that the chamber endeav0r to
secure it As it was impossible to secure the
figures. it was agreed that the meeting adjourn
subject to a call for special meeting as soon as
the figures can be sscertained. This will be
when the papers have been forwarded to wash
ington City and compared with these OF the
first count The officials viii then be able to
determine whether further recount is neces-
sary and the chamber viii hold meeting for
that purpose.
The following letter from Senator Allen, ad-
dressed to Vice President Graves and Secretary
Dodge, was read:
"Your telegram was received at o'clock p.
m. July 3. The 4th being a legal holiday, had
not the opportH ity OF visiting the census Office
until SATURDAYS morning. when LEARNED that the
records had been forwarded from Seattle june
%, as recall, and received on July 3. This en-
harnesses the situation very much, these records
having passed from the control of the supervis-
or OF the census. and it seemed difficult TO find
any way of aiding you. 1 insisted, however,
that they should auth the supervisor to
make call for all unenumerated persons in
your city, have them identity themselves prop
erly and after that was done their names could
be forwarded and decided here at Washington
by search of the schedules and q comparison
with the same, as well as at Seattle. 1t was
agreed this should be done nc once and tele-
graphed to that effect hope it will result in
affording the needed corrections and give you
faithful census. have taken pleasure in doing
all in my power to correct the blunders and
mistakes that have been made, as indicated in
your telegram"
The Chamber of Commerce canvass in the
First ward. one district excepted, gives 1858
names of persons believed to be unenumerated.
In regard to the census of manufactures, it
appears that Superintendent Porter is to blame
for the delay in taS ng it. He withdrew from
Mr.. Jenkins the power Of appointing man for
this work. He appoint ID Mr. Prosch and. when
that gentleman declined, he failed to make
another appointment Mr.. Jenkins suggests
that the Chamber OF Commerce take steps to
hasten the appointment
