LOOKED AFTER,
There is a general compluint here
among the d'sipp tinted. Rppticants for
officii ot (lie Dmnocrutio House, of the
injustice done tlio Djtu.icratie party in
the New England, .Middle, and a grcitl
portion of tho Western States, in the
Belection of the oflwers and the forma
lion of tho committees of the House.
Among the most disappointed members
in tho House, is Fernando Wood, the
oldest member he having been in Con
press twenty five year3 a? . It i
thought that Fernando will not have
many receptions tho coming session,
&o disgusted is ho with condition of
thi nsjs. It is understood that Kerr, in
the formation ot his committees, hid an
eye to beinu the nest Dcnuoewic can
didate fur President. It is certain nbw
that in order to get the nomination, he
will have to reeoncile his disappointed
Lreihcrn.
General Bibcock lias arrived nud
had an interview with the President,
and is now mtcndng to his private
business. It is thought that ho will
ask the President to .'eli-jve him of hi
duties until the result of his ttial if
known.
Mr Hangs, for several years Super
intet)dant of the Railway Mail Service,
will retire from the Department the
Cist ot January to engage in private
busiuess. We rccret this vorv munli as
w j
do all those who ate acquainted with
tho very efficient scrviec-s he has ren
erel tlii (jnennuMt. Tlio postal
car system has been developed by him
until it has become the most important
jpns in tii 3 laricj in ta;) noil trtnf
mis3ion of the mails. More fcceritiy
ho devised a plan for the development
of this system accompanied by a ireat
reduction of expeditures. We refer to
the inauguration of the Express Mail
between New York aud the West. The
plan was originally submitted to the
three great railroads, the New York
Central, Pennsylvania Central, and the
Baltimore a, ou;,.uu ucuii..a u, .i..
Subsequently it was accepted by the
New York Ceutral, aud they contracted
to carry the entire mail between the
East and the West. No sooner was the
nrsarigemeut completed than the trial
roads fearing that they r.houid suflVi
from the prestige thus obtained by the
New York Central, demanded thai
they be allowed to run an express mail
on the same terms, and now "the mad
over the Pennsylvania route crosses the
bridge at St. Louis, and is followed in
five minutes by the express mail over
the New York Central This gaiu of
five minutes is obtained at a cost oi
about 250,000 a year.
One express trail a day was all thai
Mr. Pangs desi.ed and it could havt
been managed so as to perform the
same service in the same time in the
West that is now jeiTormed by the
three express Trails. Yet Mr. Pangs is
arrainei iu the Chicago papers lor tin
expense of a double service for v.hich
he is in no way'responsible. Mr. Banus
has recently addressed a letter to the
Postmaster General in relation to the
receipts and expenditures ot the three
classes of mail matter and shows that
the carriage of letieis is performed at a
net profit of over $1,010,000 a year to
the Department of newspapcis at a
loss of $7 000,000 express parcels at
a loss oi 4,000,000. 1 1 is theory is
'to cheapen postage for the whole peo
ple by such au cmendment as shall not
so increase the cost of the postal service
in the transportation of sr.'ieles iu
which comparatively few are interes
ted as to nullify the propose lower po
tngis." And this he proposes to do by
n. ueing the postage on all transient
ni wspapers, roagaziues, unsealed circu
lars, and pro? peet uses, and ailowiug all
other parcels or express matter :o be
carried at the present rates. The po
tago on third class matter, averas
eleven cents per pound, while the cost
is over twenty cents. The average
revenue from a poui.d of letters is 81.45
and the cost is 31,13. While the num
ber of people interested in the letters
and ciroulars is more than six times us
great as these sending express parcels,
it would seem as though bis conclusion
would be mote logical if he bud pro
posed an advance iu the rates of third
class matter sufficient to make its ex
penses, with a reduction on letter pos
tage, by this change the greater num
ber would be benefitted. We have do
doubt that the same success will attend
Mr. Pangs in the new business iu
which he is about to engage.
Mr. A. M. Clapp, Superintendent of
the Government Priming Offioe, seems
much alarmed as to tbe permanency o'
lis present position. The employing
printers of Washington, vrho are pay
ing ten cents less per thousand ems fur
composition than the Government Print
ing office, will doubtless make r on
Lim this year, showing that the govern
ment work is costing very much more
than tbe same ork would cost in pri
vate printing offices here, and it is due
tv them tbat they shall hare tbe priv-
htfimrfts

more, with one or two exceptions, than
are paid in any other place in the whole
country. To illustrate; in Boston 40
cents per thousand ems are beintt paid
for compodtioii; in l'urkerbnrg 30; in
Philadelphia. 43, and in Washington
50 At the Government Printing Of
fice 60 cents are being paid. The cost
ot living is very nearly as cheap in
Washington ns in any of these cities
named, and the question naturally arises
why the Union should insist on receiv
ing so much mote for their work here.
More than a year Bgo the Postmaster
General assured by letter Mr. Hinckley,
President of the Philadelphia, Wjlmiug
ton & Baltimore Railroad that there
would be less than fifty special agents
ol his Department appointed. It ap
pears now that there are one-third more
agents on the roll thati he proposed. To
keep on good terms w.th the Railroad
President, he has checked off, from the
list of 'special agents sent to Mr. ilinek
ley. several 'peeial agents on the Pacific
slope, some Western Stares and the
Territories, to bring the number within
fifty. So, therefore, it appears that al
though the traveling pass of those
specials commands all railroads, steam
boats and stages that carry U. S. mail,
to carry them free, by direction of the P
M. General, tbey will be subjected by
this Railroad, at least, to the mortifica
tion of being refused.
It has been said that Mr. Dyer, Dis
trict Attorney against the whii-lcy rin:
frauds iu St. Louis, has said that he
would convict Getioial Babcock or leave
ihe State. It is strange that any public
officer should attempt to so predjudict a
ca.se as to anticipate publicly the eonvie
lion ol a man. It has all along been
under.-toood that there is a disposition
'in the part ot St Louis people to con
vict, if posib!e, any person charged
with complicity with the whisky ring,
and to that end the country may not be
surprised to learn of foul means being
used in the prcsecuiion of these cases
If this declaration ol Mr. Dyer is a sam
ple of the feelings ol the court and the
people of St. Louis, against those indic
ted, it u questionable whether in the
iuterestsot justice, tho State would not
bo benefitted by Mr. Dyer leaving it.
