Free Delivery.

For wears we have favored the extension
ot the system of free delivery of letters TO
all towns which are large enough to justify
the appointment of even one carrier. In
other words, every town IN when dally
there are delivered letters enough for their
delivery TO occupy the whole time OF one
man should have letter-carrier. lhere Is
no propriety in requiring even few nun
dred men TO visit the post-office every day,
when one man can visit it for all OF them.
There is no good reason why letters should
be delivered free to persons having the
GOOD luck or the misfortune to reside IN
large cities and be kept at the post-ofnces 10
be called for in towns having only few
hundreds or thousands of patrons OF the
postal system.
We learn from the Washington Post that
the Postmaster General has taken TINS
subiect under consideration, and has I'M
dertaken TO ascertain the practicability
and cost of extending free delivery 10
small towns. He has ordered free-de-
livery service to be testedln Terre Hill and

The Migsissipp, Constitution.

Mr. GEoRon, invthe long and able and IN
tcrestinR speech which no made in the
United States Senate last week. said
great many things worthy of preservation
IN every mans commonplace book, ana
worthy Of being pondered by our brethren
Of the northern States. Constitutional
Convention in Mississippi recently adopted
a Constitution and put it into operation
without submitting il to the people LOT
ratification. Everybody knows that state
Constitutional Conventions possess TINS
power IL they choose TO exercise 1t; out ~
Senator EDwUNDs had stated that the Con-
stitution which 80 lately went into opera
ton in Mississippi bad never been SUB
mitted to the people for ratification. MI
GFoRoE deemed it proper and timely 10
remind Mr.. EpMUxDs that his State OF
Vermont was now living under a Constitu-
ton which was framed in 1898 and never
submitted for ratification by the people.
In this connection Mr.. GEORGE took oc-
casion to remind the constitutional law
yers in the Senate that by the settled law
bv the constitutional law, recognized by
the Supreme Court Of the United States
the highest court in any.State is TO be ac-
ceuted as the interpreter Of its own Consti-
tuition. and that the Supreme Court OF
Mississippi has recognized the new Consti-
tution by putting in force one OF its pro-
visions which did not exist in the old one.
These are unimportant features OF Mr.
GEonoE's speech. which is rich IN histori"
cal lore and loaded down with facts.

Free Elections.

A virginia journal says that even if the
force bill becomes a law the several States
will have power toprotect themselves from
Federal interference with their elections
by passing laws fixing the times for hold
inc their elections at times when there are
no Federal elections held. In the United
States Senate on Saturday last MIR. STEW
ART of Nevada, Republican, said on this
subject:
ain 1872 Congress passed an act DAing tne
time Of eIectiuR members OF Congress on the
Tuesday after the first Monday OF November
every two years. That put the election OF con-
gressmen at day when the Congress well Knew
All the STATE elections we're being held, and most
of them were being held by virtue OF consutu-
tional provisions that could not DO changed Tor a
term OF years. Not only that but Congress has
power 20 fix the time for electing preslden lal
electors. II has fixed tho time for holding the
election Of presidential electors on the Iuesday
after the lrst Monday In November each TOUR
years. so Congress has by these various acls
put the elections all together"
And all this in face of the fact that the
Constitution of the United States provides
in express terms that each State shall APP
point its electors of President and Vice
President of the United States in such
manner as NE Legislature thereof may direct. y

The Peoples Victory IN the Senate.
We have agreeable news from Wash

The closure rule has been "side-traeked"
In the Senate 10 make way for the bull re-
spportioning the representation of the
several States in the House of Representa-
tives, and six Republicans voted with the
Democrats, while another was paired OIL
with neutrality-suspicious. who favored the
rule.
without the closure rule there is no pos
sibility of the Senate passing the force
bill. The former is the breath OF the lat
ter's life, and now unless the Republicans
should by an extraordinary effort be able
10 re6rganize their shattered forces both
are ended.
Az for the reapportionment bill, IL should
be debated freely and fully. 1t is based
upon most untrustworthy census. That
gross wrong was done 10 the city and State
of New York there is hardly any attempt
70 deny; but there are many other suffer
ers. Virginia among them. The truth
should be told and recorded. So here is
proper subject for debate, and unless some
understanding has been or shall hereafter
Be arrived at. by which the closure rule
and force bill are TO be buried together
completely and out of sight. the Demo-
cratic members and the hberal-minded Re-
publicans who have cooperated with them
will be in duty bound to exercise the, right
of discussion to the fullest extent.
great impression has been made upon
the public mind. we have no doubt, by
the action of the legislatures OF those
southern and western States that have re-
solved TO Lave nothing to do with the
Chicago Exposition If the force bill is to
become law. II is q patriotic threat.
With what heart could we take part IN
such show after we had been stripped of
libertyY
Yes, the outlook this morning is cheer
ing.
The extreme Republicans are stricken
with defeat That they will attempt TO re-
organize is probable, but that they can be
successful at this late day seems very I'M
likely. Still we must keep our sentinels
on duty. They Will be on the watch for
some happy accident 10 relieve them, and
we cannot afford TO contribute TO their
chances.
The death Of the force bill will remove
Mr.. HARRISON from the list of presidential
possibilities unless, indeed, the party
prospect becomes so desperate that no
leader of consequence will desire the norai-
nation. That he feels yesterdays defeat
very keenly there can be no doubt, but it
is belieyed--in fact, ii is known-that he
will not receive the sympathy Of all the
senators who voted " no" on the propo-
sition to displace the closure rule by the
reapportionment bill.
Mr.. INGALLS, was one of the Republicans
who was paired of yesterday to the dis
advantage of the closure rule. We put
this to the credit Of the Farmers Alliance
people.

A RurnOr.

We said the other day that it was not the
closure rule but the force bill which justi-
fed the filibustering of the Democrats in
Congress against its passage. We are not
surprised, therefore. by the rumor that
certain senators will vote for the closure
rule who will not vote for the force bill.
If this rumor should turn out to be true
the malignants will gnash their teeth in
impotent rage, for they desired the closure
rule to be adopted only as a means of Sc
curing the passage of the force bill.

Information was received here to-day Of
the breaking of the Jail of Chesterfield
county last night and the escape of two
negro prisonershamed William Drumgoole
and Virgie Rufin. Noparticulars as to the
manner of the escape are given. Drum
goole is somewhat of desperate character.
He was year or so ago arrested for rob
berry, and while being taken to the county
Jail he made a fierce assault upon Con-
Stable Dancy, the officer who had him IN
charge, and nearly made his escape. DE was
convicted of the charge and sentenced to
the penitentiary, but before being taken TO
that prison he attempted to break jail;
He was tried for this offence and sentenced
TO Imprisonment, and it was while serving
out this term that he escaped last night.
Virgie Ruffin was awaiting trial for horse
stealing. She is the woman who was ar
rested here in mans clothing and IN pos
session of thestolen horse. Both tugitlves
will probably be caught before they get out
of the county, as the officers are making
every effort in that direction.
