A Convention of Postmasters.

There was 20 have been a grand convention
of Fourth-class Virginia PO.tmasters in this
city Yesterday bnt ont If a hundred delegates
expected only handful arrived There are
about twenty-six hundred tourth-class Offices
in the State, and four delegates were expected
from each county. 10 be elected by county
conventions. The purpose Of the convention
to-day was to elect State delegates 10 =
National convention to be held at the Ebbitt
House in Washington, January 18th. and the
purpose of the whole move, which was worked
up by the United States Mail. newspaper
devoted mostly 20 postmasters, is for the pur-
pose Of agitatlng reforms in the fOurth-class
service and better pay for the postmasters.
Just where the room for this appears how
ever, is not clear. even 10 the best informed
in postal matters.
This may have been the reason the meeting
was failure. Those present, however. attrl-
buted it to the TACT that nearly all postmasters
of this class are stOrekeepers. and their hOll-
day trade prevented their attendance.
The several delegates present met az
o'clock in the United States courtroom. but
feeling the oppressiyeness OF space they adj
journed, and ut 3 o clock met IN No. 6, a much
smaller room IN the same building
With the assistance of Postmaster Russell
as umpire they held an informal meeting,
and elected w. n. Sebrell. Of Southampton
as chairman, and left It to him 10 correspond

polntment Of delegates 10 the Washington
meeting. They then adjourned sine die

It's conceded on all sides that one OF the
| Democrats in Congress is the redu ton OF
expenses. Reeds bilion-dollar Con 6 :ess did
all IL could 10 fasten upon the country obli-
cations which would require every dollar and
moro of the present enormous revenue to
meet, and they did this both from selfish and
partisan reasons. They hoped not only TO DO
ablo to scatter the public money recklessly
among their friends and party fayorites. but
that the Democrats in the ffty-frst Congress
would be forced 10 increase taxation to meet
the expenses which they had created. In
fact. the New York Tribune said, just after
the billion-dollar Congress.ad iourned, that the
obligations which they had placed upon the
Taxpayers of the country were irreyocable.
and that as that Congress had surplus OF
over eco 900 900 to draw upon. which has long
since been dissipatod tie coming Democratic
House would he compelled to brave popular
odium by increasing taxation TO the extent
necessary to raise that amount Of money each
year in addition TO tho present tremendous in-
come OF the country.
But il the Tribune and its Repub-
lican allies thought they would. by
their wild legislation, prevent the DEM
ocrats of the fifty-second Congress
from practicing economy and reducing ex-
pcnses they were very greatly mistaken.
Chairman Holman. Of the Appropriations
Committee. who has long since won the repu-
tation Of being one Of the most Jealous
watch-dogs of the Treasury, IS already matnr-
ing his plans for system of economy that
will present a marked contrast to the reck-
lessness of Reeds men. He estimates that at
least one hundred million dollars can be
saved. and without the slightest injury 10 the
Government. From the Indian appropriation
bill the trifo Of 5000 900 can be cut off; from
the Notifications another trihe Of IS, 900 900 can
be saved; from the sundry civil. legislative,
executive and judicial. the pension and
the District of Columbia lists the
saving of another trihe of S12,-
600 900 can be effected. Thon in the ex-
penses of the light house service, naval af-
fairs. 'postofice. Agricultural Department
and foreign affairs cuts can be made so
small in each case as not to be felt. but IN
the aggregate amounting TO very consider
able sum by these and thousand and one
other judcious stopping up Of unnecessary
leaks a very handsome reduction. as compared
with the acts of the Dillion-dollar Congress,
can be saved to the people, which will, by
contrast show up the evils of Republ-
can rule 10 a very striking manner.
So il seems that the present Democratic
House will not only be able to eaectually
checkmate all the pretty schemes md plans
Of their enemies to embarrass the Democratic
party, but 10 make a most favorable showing
before the already overburdened taxpayers
besides. And probably when the verdict of
the people against them is as emphatic and
overwhelming in 1882 as it was in 1890 the
Republican leaders will begin to realize that
they have overreached themselves in cunning,
and that the voters have rights.

threatened the existence of the society itself.
Having been authorized by the committee to

credit which the litigation and
embarrassments of the society had created.
and the uncertainty of regular income to meet

mOuntable obstacles, notwithstanding the
well known sufficiency of the sOcety's real

effort in several of the Northern cities with

asking the City Council of Richmond to guar
antee the interest on the loan. which, after
much delay and trouble, was finally done, and
some start was made in negotiating the bonds

There was quite sensation at the peniten-
tiary a few days ago when number Of
chsels. files and other tool were discovered in
one OF the cells. How tho prisoners secured
them is not known. and as they declined TO
to tell it will probably never be known. IL
is quite certain that a well-laid plan for es-
cape had been made, aud that these tools were
tn first preparation. Quite large number Of
workmen are engaged in adding IA story to
one Of the large building IN the enclosure
for the purpose OF making more room for the
Oyercr0wded conyicts, but it does not appear
that they are suspected in any way II connec-
