THE MAGNITUDE AND MINUTI/E
OF THE UNITED STATES POST
OFFICE DEPARTMENT.
EDITOR
Thirt ,
thousand miles of railroad mail routes,
twenty-one thousand miles of steamboat
mail routes, one hundred and seventy
thousand miles of other routes, on which
the mails are required to-be etirried with
"celerity, certainty and security," requir
ing, altogether, an annual transportation of
mails over one hundred and seven-and-a
half millions of miles of mail routes, are
facts which enable the mind to grasp but
faintly, the magnitude of the General Post
Office Department of the United States.
Then look at the rapid yearly increase of
this Department : The new post routes by
rail put in operation during 1869 embraced
3,519 miles; in 1870, the increase was
4,190 miles, and in 1871, it amounted to
6,107 miles, thus adding, in the aggregate
13,816 miles to the 36,018 miles in opera
tion on the let of July, 1868. Here is an
increase in three years of 38 per cent, and
in the last year alone of 17 per cent. These
arc significant evidences, first, of the mag
nitude of the country, the general diffusion
of intelligence, and the vastness of its in
ternal commerce; and secondly, they af
ford the very best proof of the amazingly
rapid development of the country under
our present judicious system of protection
to all our home industries, and to the
working classes.
And while this remarkable progress is
made in the postal extension and facilities
within the Union, our foreign postal sys
tem has undergone vast and most impor
tant improvements during the last few
years. Take for illustration the reductions
made by recent postal conventions, in the
rates of postage to foreign countries. Below
we have the rates of the usual half-ounce
letter between the States and the principal
foreign countries, as charged December 31,
1867, April 1, 1869, and November 1,
1870, respectively, together with an addi
tional column showing the reduction :

These are grand results ; and they are
fraught with immense benefits not only to
our commercial relations with the world,
but to the millions of families already here
and those coming to our shores, leaving
relatives and friends beyond the Atlantic
and the Pacific oceans, with whom they
are in regular correspondence. But we
cannot dwell upon this noble achievement
of cheap ocean postage, only to say that
the day is not far distant when the ocean
postage will be still furthpr reclnced to the
uniform charge of two, qr at most three
cents per half ounce.
We shall now glance briefly at other
branches of the General Post Office De
partmput, and note the extent and pro
gress made in each within a very brief
period.
THE POSTAL MONEY ORDER SYSTEM.
The money-order system was unknown
in the United Status op to the first of No
vember, 1864. From that time to the
end of the last fiscal year (June 30, 1871,)
there ware 2,076 money-order offices put
in oporztion. On the 31st July, 1871,
there were 376 additional money-order of
fices established, making together 2,452 of
these business-facilitating offices now in
operation. The immense benefits of this
modern improvement may be gathered
from the fact that the number of domestic
money-orders issued and paid, during the
last year, was 2,121,664, amounting in
value to $41,705,667.03. Compared with
the previous year the increase is a fraction
over 23 per cent. Small as are the char
ges for transmission of funds through this
channel, the profits accruing to the De
partment from this source from its incep
tion down to the end of the last fiscal year
were $337,419.86.
INTERNATIONAL MONEY ORDER SYSTEM,
A vigorous start has been made toward
the completion of a comprehensive system
of international postal money-orders. The
first arrangement was made with Switzer
land, and went into operation September
1, 1869. To the dose of the last fiscal
year, a period of twenty-two months, the
amount of orders issued by United States
offices fns payment in Switzerland was $60,-
679.26, and the amount of orders paid on
remittances from that country was $32,-
454.45.
The next similar arrangement was made
with Great Britain. and want into opera
tion October 2, 1871. From that date to
October 28, a period of four weeks, the
value of the orders sent to that country
was $63,061.13, and of those received the
value was $14,684.19, showing moat con
clusively the necessity, the convenience
and th.: importance of this arrangement
for the transmission of money in small
sums and at a low cost for conveyance. A
similar arrangement is now about comple
ted with Germany, to go into operation
October 1, 1872. And se the system will
be eatended between the United States and
all other nations with which we are con
nected by commerce or immigration.
THE FREE DELIVERY SYSTEM.
This is another modern improvement,
and its benefits are acknowledged wherever
it has been introduced. Here aro some
of the returns: During the last year the
free delivery system has been in operation
in fifty-two of the principal cities, viitla the
following aggregate results :
Number aflutter carriers,
Mail letters delivered,
Local letters delivered
Newspapers delivered,
Letters collected,
Amount paid carriera, &c.
Postage an Local Matter..
This is the result of last year's experi
ence, and it indicates a large increase, over
the previous year, showing conclusively
that the new system is fully appreciated
by the public.
RAILWAY POST OFFICES.
Here is another modern improvement
in postal expedition, the importance of
which cannot be over estimated. The cars
appropriated for this service, are fitted up
as traveling post offices, with everything
complete to secure expedition in receiving,
sorting, distributing, making-up and deliv
ering mails alon t ., the routes. These post
offices now travel over 27,596 miles daily,
or 10,072,540 miles annually, by railway
and steamboat routes. The number of
clerks employed last year was 513, at a
cost of $442,600. The system is now be
ing extended.
The total number of letters exchanged
during the last year with foreign countries
was 20,295,998, an increase of 1,936,620
over the number reported for 1870. Of
this number 10,461,868 were sent from,
and 9,834,130 were received in, the Uni
ted States. The rate of increase in the
total number of letters exchanged with
foreign countries in 1871 over 1870, was
101 per cent., while the decrease in the
amount of postages, owing to the reduced
rates, was 11 2-3 per cent. This will be
more than overcome this year by the great
increase in the number of letters carried.
The recent improvements in reference
to the management of the dead letter office,
have resulted in an earlier return of un
called-for letters back to their writers.—
Formerly letters not called for did not get
back to the writers earlier than from three
to six months after they were written and
mailed. Now they are usually returned in
from thirty to forty days.
The number of dead letters received at
the dead letter office in Washington, du
ring the last year, was as follows :
Ordinary letters 2,931,224
Drop 492,300
Unmailable 373,363
Hotel 26,732
Fictitious 66,264
Registered 6,162
Returned from foreign countries 77,010
Foreign letters *21,673
Of these 18,577 contained money in
sums of $l.OO and upwards, amounting in
the aggregate. to $78,812.98; of which
17,082 letters, containing $74,420,90 were
delivered to the writers or persons address
ed. The number enclosing less than $l.OO
was 14,956, containing $3,808.92, of which
$12,413, containing 23,04,90 were deliv
ered to the writers, and 2,543 letters, con
taining $714.02 were filed for reclamation.
The number of dead letters containing
bank checks, drafts, deeds, &c., was 19,193,
of the nominal value of $3,075,869.23; of
which 17,905 of the nominal value of $2,-
855,030.31 wero delivered to the owners,
and 1,288, of the noplitpl value of $220,-
838.92, were outstanding or filed for re
clamation.
The number of packages and letters con
taining jewelry, books, and other proper
ty was 6,498, of which 4,298 were deliv
ered, and 2,200 were filed for reclamation.
The number containing photographs was
42,119, of which 36,544 found owners,
and 5,575 were filed,
Of the unavailable letters 301,472 were
detained for postage, not being pre-paid,
as required by law, They were either
wholly unpaid, were not pre-paid one full
rate, or were stamped with illegal or reve.
nue stamps; 68,373 were misdirected, the
post office, State, or some necessary part of
the address being omitted; and 3,518 had
no address whatever.
We have ever been opposed to the law
that compels a postmaster to retain and
return to the dead letter office, any letter
or mail matter, because of a deficiency in,
or the entire absence of pre-payment. Se
rious and most aggravating consequences
have resulted from this practice. It would
be much more reasonable to allow the let
ter, or paper, or package to go forward to
its destination, under a charge of double
rates to be paid by the recipient. The in
consistency of the law may be inferred
from the fact that all unpaid letters for
Canada are passed on without any deten
tion; while unpaid letters mailed for any
part of our own country, are sent to the
dead letter office !
PROSPECTIVE PROGRESS.
Efforts will be continued for a reduction
of postage between France and the United
States, and for greater reductions of post
age on letters to and from Russia, Den
mark, Sweden and Norway, and for a
penny postage system with Great Britain.
The penny postal card, now in use in
England, is also under consideration. 13y
this system a card containing a message, or
other information written on one side, and
the address of the party for whom it is in
tended, inscinted upon the other side, will
be carried from one part of any city to
another, by the letter carriers, or from one
part of city or country to another, through
the mails, for one cent.
Another, and by far the most important
improvement under contemplation, is to
make the telegraph a part of the postal
system. England and ether European
countries, aro ahead of us in this matter;
but there is good reason to believe that
the telegraphs of this country will, ere long ,
be so controlled by the General Post
Office Department, us to secure to the
public the transmission of correspondence
by telegraph, at about one-fourth of the
rates now charged by independent corpora
tions.
Post Office Saving Banks are contempla
ted. The system was introduced into
England in 1861 and has so far proved to
be a great success, the Government having
now on deposit, as the saving of the.people,
$80,000,000, for which depositors receive
21 per cent interest, per annum. In the
United States 4 per cent could be allowed
to depositors. All deposits received at the
post offices are to be forwarded to the U.
S. Treasury, and by that department in
vested in U. S. seenrities. The system
has safety and economy to recommend it
to the people, and if introduced it could
not fail to become universally popular.
We have thro7n together, in brief coin:.

gers and mail agents. The whole system
is controlled by one central head, the Hon.
JOHN A. J. CRESWELL, to ‘71101:h the

portion of the improvements indicated
above, and introduced or extended during
his administration, us well as those, in
prospect, referred to as now under consid
eration, and only awaiting the action' of
Congress for authority to put them' in
operation.
In conclusion, while the State and Treas
ury departments have accomplished great
results, during the last three years, the
post office department has achieved a suc
cess equal to either, and far beyond that of
any former period in its history. -

The reader will observe that the Fi
nance Committee adheres to its former ac
tion in retaining a part of the duties on
tea and coffee, coal and salt, and all the
present duties on pig iron and steel rails.
The reduction oflo per cent. of the duties
on other kinds of iron, steel and metal,
will be opposed by Senator Scott and oth
er members of the Pennsylvania delega
tion, who will have a very large support
from the members from all parts of, the
country. The proposed reduction will, it
is believed, be abandoned. And as an
offset to the retention of all of the present ,
duty on these articles, Senator Scott and
many of those who are opposed to a re
duction of the duty on iron, steel and met
als, will introduce and support an amend
ment transferring tea and coffee to the free
list, a change which all but free traders
and revenue reformers desire to see made.
On Monday, two weeks from to-day, the
bill will be taken up and considered.
TEE TARIFF IN THE HOUSE.
The Committee or Ways and Means
have not yet made their report on the
tariff; but a member of the House last
week introduced a resolution to place tea
and coffee on the free list, which was done
by a large vote. A similar motion was
made in reference to coal and salt, but the
vote was in favor of continuing the duties
as at present imposed.
THE INCOME TAX
The Committee of Ways and Means
have decided to recommend to the House
to continue the Income taxfor another year.

paugh, keeper of the celebrated elephant
Romeo, who is known to be the most vicious
animal ever publicly exhibited, and whose ti
tle among showmen is the "champion man
killer," entered the building as usual to at
tend to the wants of big huge pet. The
brute was apparently in the best of moods,
and Mr. Forepaugh apprehended no dan
ger. However this fancied security, while
peering through an aperture at the per
formance of some members of the troupe
who were exercising in the ring attached
to the building Mr. Forepaugh was re
minded of Romeo's presence and danger
ous instincts by suddenly finding himself
encircled in the coils of
THE TRUNK.
of the animal. In an instant the unlucky
man was hurled through the air with tre
mendous force, in his ascent reaching the
roof of the stable. Fortunately he fell on
a pile of blankets. But he was now in
more imminent danger than ever—direct
ly under the feet and completely in the
power of the infuriated beast. A single
tramp, one blow from the terrible trunk,
and he was a dead man. In this perilous
situation, with the weapon of the treacher
ouvinimal raised to deliver the blow, re
lief came from Mr. Charles Forepangh,
who was in the rear part of the stable.
A COURAGEOJS MAN
With rare presence of mind and unusu
al courage this man seized an immense
pitchfork, with which Romeo is occasion
ally tamed into submission, and dealt the
mad monster thrust after thrust. Writh
ing with pain the brute turned upon his as
sailant, but his chains prevented him from
reaching him. Howling with rage he es
sayed to deal the new-comer a deadly blow,
but, alert and active, this gentleman con
tinued his merciless thrusts until the flanks
of the beast streamed with blood. All the
time Mr. George Forepaugh was crawling
further and further away from his position.
He was painfully bruised, and moved slow
ly and cautiously away, but finallysucceed
ed in reaching the middle of the floor and
a place of safety. Other assistance then
came, and additional chains were thrown
around the feet of Romeo, and he was made
periectly secure, but ho continued to Fhow
signs of rage for some time, and his keeper
says the fit may last on him for several
days.
THE DEN OF THE ANIMAL,
Romeo is kept chained by the logs in a
stable adjoining the department appropri
ated to the cages that contain the lions,
tigers, panthers, &0., and in ono portion of
this stable the performing horses have their
stalls. This stable is divided from what is
called the performing or practice ring by a
wooden partition, and the elephant is con
fined in a corner or angle of the stable in
such a manner that he faces the partition
that separates the ring from the stable.
ROMEO'S RECORD,
The Press has more than once recouuted
the bloody deeds of this animal when in
censed, Not a year ago, in a country vil
lage in Ohio, he killed a man and destroyed
a house or two. A few years back, when
the establishment at Tenth and Callowhill
was used as a circus, he demolished one of
the walls and assaulted some half dozen peo
ple. Two years ago, while quartered for the
winter near Germantown, he got into one
of his sulky moods, and when approached
by his keeper he seized the unfortunate
man with his trunk, tossed him into the
air, and then placing the lifeless body un
der his hoot; trampled it into a shapeless
mass.
After overturning a few cages he was
finally brought under subjection when
briskly plied with thrusts from a harpoon
pr other sharp instrument.. Be is a dan
gerous animal, and it is about time he was
Press 34th inst.
a, State after State is declaring for
the renomination of President Grant,
Maine and Ohio having just spoken unan
imously. The earnest discussion of his
character and his policy seems more fully
to vindioate the one and to strengthen the
other. The last attempt in the Senate to
involve the Secretary of War in the sale
of tho French arms is so transparent a
failure that it can only react in favor of
that accomplished officer, and add a new
element of power to the resistless move
ment in favor of his chief. It would be a
happy termination of an unhappy demon
stration if the eminent Republican Sena
tors who started it would frankly admit
the mistake they have made, and so open
the door for that reconciliation which only
requires to be commenced to secure com
plete harmony and assure victory. There
is no virtue more befitting an exalted lead
er than Magnanimity, and he who is first
to show it will be longest remembered.
Twenty-six years ago Senator Benton, of
Missouri, rose in his place and moved the
indefinite postponement of one of his favor
ite measures. Mr. Clay taunted him with
having killed his own offspring. "Yes, sir,"
said Denton; "I have killed it; I have
killed it dead, sir; dead as a door nail.
I am always ready to sacrifice myself for
my country." President Grant showed
the same spirit when he gave up Santo Do
mingo. Sumner shows it when be reso
lutely perils his chances for national hon
ors by advocating the cause of the perse
cuted freedman. The people are weary of
the personalities between their „leaders,
and deserve and demand some sacrifice of
punctilio and individual resentment for
the sake of the common cause. Who will
be the first to set the good example ?—

The Ku-Klux Report.'
The Committee of Congress, appointed
to investigate the Ku-Klux outrages in the
South have prepared their final report, an
abstract of which has been published. It
will furnish the future historian with the
material for the darkest chapter of our
history. Such a reva.ation of man's inhu
manity to man, of devilish conspiracy and
black crime, was never made before. Such
an insight into the principles, motives, and
policy of the rebel Democratic party will
never be had again. When before, in a
civilized and Christian country, have men
deliberately organized assasination and
struck for power through the persecution
of a whole race ? Christian men and wo
men, read the report !
What the report shows can be summed
up in a paragraph: That in the States re
cently in rebellion there aro secret bands
of disloyal men organized to prevent the
execution of laws relating to reconstruc
tion ; that the organization embraces about
forty thousand men in one State, and
probably not less than two hundred thous
and in all the States ; that they are bound
by oaths to executesuch orders as may be de
cided upon in secret sessions; that in obedi
ence to these decrees, and in accordance to
their oaths, they burn and destroy the
property of peaceable citizens; they seize,
bind, scourge, shoot, and hang innocent
men; that these hellish outrages are com
mitted only against the poor timid blacks
and white Republicans; that for such deeds
of violence and blood no conviction has
been had and no punishment inflicted,
save in the United States conrtsand under
martial law.
It also shows another fact, and that is
the need this country has of the Repub
can party and of having its affairs admin
istered by Republicans. That party is an
organization of the best elements of this
nation. It abolished slavery and preserv
ed the Union, it restored peace and gave
the negro the ballot, and it has promised
that peace shall not be disturbed tier the
ballot invaded; and whatever irrelevant
topic may show discord and widen breach
es In the ranks, upon this.it is resolved—
the rebellion shall not be revived nor the
negro stripped of citizenship. And so this
unholy alliance of the rebel Democrats
must dissolve and its barb.atitiot cease.—

31.1:ir CrrusNs this ,uunty who, had been
persuaded to buy other kinds of Sewing Machines,
which seemed at Jim to work well on a tolerable
.range of work, have expressed to me their regrets
that the genuine original Elias Howe Sewing Ma
chine—the best in the world—had not been brought
to their notice before purchasing. And judging
from the number of offers I have, to trade Howe
machines for all other kinds, I estimate that the
people of this county have lost snore than Ic2o.tlCo
by failing to get, at the first, the genuine Howe
Machine. It is made on sound mechanical prin
ciples, avoids rickety cog-wheels, and is PO con
structed as to have perfect control by adjustment.
and provision made to restore lost motion when it
wears, thereby securing extraordinary durability,
and adaptation to the greatest range of work. Now
as my traveling agents mey not be able to visit
every person in time, and ns many inferior ma ,
chines of different kinds arc still being urged on.
the public I hereby GIVE NOTICE, that before
you speudyour time or money on any other ma
chine, the safest plan is, either to wile to me di.
reel, or inquire of agents for the famous Zicies
Hour, machine, from Brown's Carpet dory Linn
tingdun, Pa., and take no agent. word, for it, that
the machine is genuine, unless it has the medal
