VETS GETTING TOO OLD.

Shortly after the war Congress passed a law
to the effect that man had 10 have a military
record to enable him 10 become 4 member OF
the police force in Washington. For the last
five years this law has been dctrimcnt 70 the
city, because the men whom the law was in
tended to benefit have become too Old to ell
positions on the force, and recruits had TO be
obtained from the Regular Army. Many Of
these had no interest in Washington, and made
poor officers. On Monday, June l. Judge
James, Of the District Court in General Term,
made a decision which declared this law null
and void. In giving his opinion regarding
this matter, Judge James says that the con-
sideratiOns which induced Congress TO pro-
vide this qualification of service in the Army
or Navy are matters of public history, Of which
this court may take judicial notice, and in our
opinion, il was the legislative intention % make
an honorable discrimination in favor of the
men who had then recently returned TO the
competitions OF civil life after service in the
late war. On the other hand. there IS no reason
to suppose that Congress would thus discrimi-
nate in favor Of the men who enlist in these
services in time of peace" The Judge also
thought that men whom the law proposed to
benefit 30 years ago (as il was passed in 1852
were now too aged 20 bo serviceable on the
police force. Grand Army comrades think
Judge James's decision a wise one, and do not
object 10 it,

THE SEA PosToFFICES,

One OF the first inquiries made by POstmas-
erGeneral Wanamaker after his return from
his Western trip related 10 the development OF
the sea postofiices and he found that there are
now in successful operation 10 Of these on as
many vessels Beginning with the arrival of the
Hayel on April 9, there have been Ii inward
trips made frsm Bremen and Hamburg to New
York. There have been brought on these trips
100000 unregistered and 1000 registered let
tiers, besides a vast amount Of printed matter.
The mail was all worked ready for delivery
either TO the addresses in New York City or
TO the railway pOstoiiices running in every di-
rection out Of New York according to a dis
tribution scheme which has been furnished the
clerks in charge. The United States Clerks
have been carefully selected from the New
York pO5tofliee and the Railway Mail Service,
and they have done their work well. The time
gained in getting correspondence TO distant
cities is about two days. The United States
clerks have enjoyed remarkable immunity
from sea sickness, reporting none in the last 10
trips, but the German clerks have not been so
fortunate. The sea pOstofiices have thus far
proved q success. There has been n constant
improvement in the thoroughnGss with which
the mails are worked, until now very little
mail reaches New York which is not ready for
immediate dispatch.
