Mr.. Wanamaker's Mail Facilities Very

TN n,e Eiitor Of he Dlsnn,eh.

TO the Editor Of he DlsDnch:
With a great flourish of trumpets much
has been said In boast of our Postmaster
Generals performances in giving to the
people improved mail facilities" But
while something of this kind may have
been done for the large towns and cities OF
the State, how IS II with our country pos
tai service? A few facts will suffice TO
show that along the line Of the Chesapeake
and Ohio railway, at least, his manage
ment has been uniformly bad. and, | may
say, the worst we have had IN twenty years.
For example, the little village Cuckoo,
distant three miles from SAID railroad
(populatiOn from fifty to seventy-hyel. ~
supplled bv daily mail line $50 called)
from our railroad station TO Elk Hill Mills,
but II so runs that a letter sent
to said station, only seven miles
east Of Louisa Courthouse, has to
lie over there TILL the next day, aud an
answer TO the same. IN no case. can be had
until / 7. NJ. the day following, and soue-
times not sooner than tine day after. That
Clifton Forge directly on the SAID railroad
line) is within SIX and one-haif hours time
OF our stations, and letter from that
point should reach Us the same day, but II
Is never less than two days coming and
often from three to five days; and the
same length Of time is required between
Lexington, Va. and this place. and SINH
lar nuisance prevails. though not 10 the
same extent. between Richmond. Va, and
our post-ofiice-the delay sometimes two
and three DAYS.
We have made complaints and petitions
time and again 10 no purpose until we are
forced to conclude that spirit of spite is
the chief obstacle, and the prevailing one,
with this department of government
(sald to be- the best the world every saw. "

WARRINGTON. d. c.. January 5.--The

ness and such other matters AZ might come
before them. The meeting was au inter-
estipg ono and resulted in steps being
taken that will begin bitter Eight for the
control of the next Senate.
If there has been any belief that the Re-
publcans intended 10 permit the organi-
zaiion of the next Senate 20 90 by default
that belief was shattered by the action
taken to-dav. A committee consisting Of
Nessrs. Teller. Hoar, Mitchell, Chandler.
and Higgins. oil Republican members OF
the Committee on Privileges and Elections.
wss appointed 10 take special charge of
the subject of organization, and incidental
thereto the matter OF the election of sena-
tors III the western States where the fight
Is now on. These senators. all astute poll
ticiaus, will see that nothing Is done 20
leernrdize the chances Of the Republicans
and will prepare all cases so that In the
event Of contests which are inevitable, the
best possible front can be made.
The question Of the order of business
was secondary TO the more important mat
ter of organization, but committee 10
agree upon some working plau was ap-
pointed IN the persons of Senators Sher-
man. FRYE. Dolph. Cuilom. Plat, Wash
burn. and Quay. They vii, canvass the
situation ana report at another caucus to
be called early next week In the mean
time nothing will be lost, inasmuch as the
proposed sanitary legislation has an order
for tomorrow and saturday, and the anti
option bill will be resumed the fret of the
week, and probably forced 20 vote.

with Sasser The latter used knife freely.
Brogden picked up a small stick with
which 10 defend himself, and untortu-
netely struck q blow which resu d in
death twenty days after. Sasser asked that
Brogden be not punished, as he was some,
what TO blame. The jury recommended
mercy and now ask for pardon.
JOINED IN by ALL
This request is Joined in by nearly oil OF
the ueople OF Wayue on account OF Brog-
denis high character which he has not lost
on account Of the unfortunate occurrence.

long confinement in Jail and his deep hu-
initiation. pardon IS granted.
WENT BY HIMSELF
