Tbe old one is good enough for me when men like Matthews and Foster get out of it Men who bave not tbe pluck to stand by their friends will be found not to have the courage to stand by principle, and the sooner they get in to a new party, or go over to tbe Democratic party, tbe better. "Tbe argument used to sustain the President s Southern policy are very familiar. Tbey have been urged by the Democrats for ten years, bot no amount of constitutional hair-split ting can satisfy me tbat an armed and organized minority shonld be permitted to override and crush out the unarmed and unorgan ized majority. As to the feeling among Republicans I think it fair to say tbat those holding office and ex pecting office do tbeir best to sustain tbe President.

Postage stamps being a commodity whose valoe is not generally sup posed to be subject to fluctuations, there seemed some mystery about it Tbe explanation, however, is quite simple. It marks one of tbe abuses of law which are sometimes resorted to to overreach the government Under the existing law tbe salaries of postmasters below the first class are governed by the amount of bus iness transacted. This was former ly reached by keeping an account of tbe canceled stamps in the ordiuary course of business. On business amounting to $100 per annum tbe salary was a commission of : CO per cent; on amounts above $100 and less than $400 tbe commission was 50 per cent ; over $400 and below $2,400, 40 per cent ; and between $-2,400 and $3,000, 15 per cent Within a few years tbe law has been changed so that tbe amount of business done is reckoned by tbe val ue of stamps sold instead of canceled. Tbe operation of this rule under tbe practice of tbe sharp politicians who sometimes are found in tbe smaller offices bas been by no means profita ble to tbe government It will be observed by examination of tbe figures given above that post- i masters in the smaller offices can very easily increase their salaries be yoiid tbe figures which the legitimate business of tbeir offices would entitle tbem to, by engsgiog in the traffic in postage stamps outside the limits of their office delivery, aud tbat tbey can well afford to put their stamps upon tbe market at a discount of ten ur filtecn per cent Tbere are bun dreds of offices in tbe country,- possi bly thousands, where tbe postmaster is engaged in trade and keeps the of fice in connection with his grocery or village store, lbe legitimate bust nesuSjf bis office not being enough to make tbe salary much of an object with bim, what so easj for him as to pay fur iis goods purchased in New York or in tbe nearest market town in postage stamps? Upon tbe above scale or commission be can not only bave aiwava at nana a convenient medium for payment, but upon every payment made in stamps be gets from tbo government a commission on sales running from 15 to CO per ceot lbe consequence is a diminu tion jn tbe legitimate sabs of stamps in tne large unices, where, tbe sala aries being fixed by law, tbe govern meotpavs notoing in commmissions, and an increase of sales in smaller of fices, at a cost to government of tb commissions named. More tban 'two years ago the Tri bune called public attention to this species of 6barp practice on the part ot some of tbe postmasters; and Post master-Ueoeral Jewell's attention having been directed to it orders were issnrd forbidding postmasters soliciting orders for stamps outside tbeir otnee deliveries, selling stamps stamped envelopes, etc., under price, or using tbem in trade.. These or ders, the penalty for disobeying which was dismissal from office, were, we are told for a time effective. Bu since the retirement of Mr. Jewell from the department tbe practice has been resumed, and is now carried on more extensively than ever. . We bear of cases wbe-e country mer chants, who are also postmasters, coming to New York to buy goods, offer postage stamps in large quanti ties in payment, and it is a well known fact tbat stamps are daily of fered at a discount in tbe large cities. Tbe provision of tbe law which regu lates postmasters' salaries by amount of stamps sold instead of tbe number canceled is itself a temptation to questionable practices, and ought to be altered, toul tbat can be done, it might be well for Postmaster-Gen eral Key to require vigorous enforce ment of tbe order on the subject is sued by Mr. Jewell about October, 1874.

What makes Cheyenne the wicked est city in the world ? 1. Cheyenno is the metropolis where tbe rich owners and tbe buckskin-clad drivers of five million del lira' worth of cattle rendezvous for a weekly spree. 2. It is tbe nearest point where tbe Black Uillers can Bell their gold duBtand nuggets and tben gamble and spree away the proceeds so as to go back to tbe mines. 3. It is the point to which all the Indian fighting army officers come as a place where they can spree away a hundred dollars in a night and . make up for lost time on tbe Big Horn. - 4 It is tbe stopping place for all swell demimonde from San Francisco, St. Louis and Chicago. In a word, it ia the American paradise for licensed drinking, fighting, gamb ling, &c. Walk with me into one licensed bouee on the principal street in Chey enne at 3 o'clock in the morning. Tbe bouse is a medley. It is tbe Par isian Varieties on Sixteenth street, John Morrlssey's Saratoga gambling bouse, tbe Argyle rooms on Sixth avenue,and the Albambra, with its waiter girls, in London, all crowded into one. The building is perhaps 50 by 130 feet, and two stories high. On tbe ground floor is a theater atage, room for ' three hundred cow boys, soldiers, ranchmen and waiter girls, and just out of it are the gamb ling tables and bars.' At the tables every known game is played. Among the dealers are several French wo men dressed in silk and diamonds. Utterly devoid of delicacy they shuf fle and deal tbe cardsjaod handle tbe chips for tbe swearing drinking crowd wbicb throng around tbe tables. On the stage there is a constant variety of shows going on. Skillful variety actors are employed, and there tbe tight rope walkers, tbe song and dance 1 women in tights, the low-necked ballad singer, the clog dancer, the nigger minstrel tbe model artint, and the female bathers, come out , in a continuous stream from ten at nizht till morn ing. On tbe first floor every drink is 25 cents, and about ttirty hoglisb French and American waiter girls keep tbe crowd constantly drinking Above this motlev crowd of cow boys, ranch men, Black Hills freighters, miners, and soldiers: is a row private boxes filled with rich ranch men. officers, tourists, and fellows who bave come down with gold dust from the Black Hills. These boxe all communicate with the Stage. Twenty or thirty waiter girls sup ply tbe boxes with champagne, the price of wbicb is $5 for pint bottles. All drinks in tbe boxes are 50 cents It is a common thing for a man after selling a thousand cattle to come here and spend a $1,000 on a spree. A Colonel in tbe army who bad been fighting up in the Big Horn country came in tbe other evening and spent a $1,000 and finally left his watch on tbe red. and lost tbat too. Tbe proprietor of this gambling and variety saloon is a very generous man. Everybody likes him, and be is considered a good citizen in Cbey enne. Clergymen shake bim by tbe hand, and bankers chum with bim like an old schoolmate Tbe profits in tbe one building are $1,000 per day.

Sharp A Mark aa rreaiaaat's New York, April 22. Tbe Times furnishes the following letter, written by ex-Senator Benjamin F. Wade, of Ohio, in condemnation of Presi dent Hayes' Southern policy, and which is now published for tbe first time: Jefferson, O., April 9. Mr. HI . Painter, Washington D.C.: "My Dear Sir Your letter ofthe 5th . was duly received. You ask whether I remember what I did in favor of Prnsideot Uys in my en deavor to procure bis Domination at tbe Cincinnati Convention. I do remember it, after what has since trtuspired, with indignation and. a bitterness ol soul tbat I cover felt before. '- ... . ' You know with wbat untiring zeal I labored for the emancipation of tbe slaves of tbe South,, and to procure justice for them before aud duriag tbe time I was iu Congress, and I suppose Governor nayes was in , full accord with me on this subjuct. But 1 bave been deceived, betrayed, aod even humiliated., by tbe course be bas tan, to a degree tbat : I bare not Unguage to exprB8. " "During the first month cf his ad mioisiration we 'find '.him closeted with two of tbe worst and most ma lign nt enemies of tbe colored race tbnt can be found in all that slave curt ei region, and there consulting with these malefactors bow best he can put these colored people under tbo iron beel of tbeir most bitter enemies, and rednce them to - con dition infinitely worse tban before Ibey were made free. . I feel tbat to hive emancipated these people and then to leave tbem noprotected, to be a crime as infamons as to bare reduced tbem to slavery when they were free. And for Hayes to do this to men who had, at tbe , hazard of tbeir lives, giveo bim tbeir votes, witbout wbich be never could bave bad the power to do this terrible in justice 1 No doubt he meditates the destruction of tbe party ibat elected him. A contemplation of all this galls me with amazement and inexpressible indignation. My only cousolauon is that history informs me tbat better men tban I ever pretended to be bave in like manner le -n deceived. Some bave attempted to excuse bim by saying tbat be means well, but hell is paved with juj; such g-Md in tentions." I- f Truly yours, B. F. Wade Mora Caaeeaslaa. Mr Hampton's organ, tbe Charles ton A ctcs and Courier, came out in a double-leaded editorial ' tbe other day demanding tbat "whatever stepi" were necessary to give tbe Uamptonites a majority iu tbe Leg islature should be "taken." Tbis is frack, at any rate, and shows tbat our highly esteemed and pacified friends in ibe Soutb are resolute! determined to carry out the pledges aod help roll on tbe wbeel ot concili atioo., . Ao little matter ot votes is to stand in the way of success, snd so if it happens, as it has happened tbat'members whom all concede were legally elected stand in tbe way of Hampton aud bis plana, tbey must yield their claims aod let tbe auto crat of tbe Carol in as name tbeir suc cessors. As we showed the other day, tbis plao is being enforced in a wav tbat proinines great results. Already ev ery wbits republican has been mark ed for baoisbmeiit from lbe Legisla ture; so has every colored man boldness and influence, and tbe scheme will be pursued . witbout doubt until tbe Legislature of Soutb Carolina, elected by Hampton, will be all that tbis patriotic Governor can desire. And it must not be sappjsed that such an innovation upon republican principles is going to meet with thai universal denunciation aod protest tbat it. would have excited a te years ago. . io. . We are gradually growing to view these things pnilu sopbically. Two rears ago, ou the call of tbe Governor of Louisiana, a file of U S. soldiers walked int the State U use in New Orleans to protect tbe assembled legislators from the vio lence of a mob. Immediately tbe country rang with cries of military usurpation, and a mass meeting in New lurk ret-olved ibat liberty was iu mortal peril. To-dav a Usurping Uovernor : in South Carrlina coolly unseats mem bers uf tbe Legislature having a con fessed majority of thrusands, pats bis tools in tbeir places, aod not a rip ple disturbs tbe serenity of the coun try. The greater number of metrop olitan newspapers either ignore - tbe affair altogether or proceed to de fend it. Here in Cbicago we bave two Hamuton organs. Whatever Hampton does tbey needs must ap plaud Tbey do not stop to inquire whether it is right or wrong, just or unjust t that Hampton does it is suf ficient for tbem. Listen to one of these organs, commenting on the ar- icle referred to . in tbe Aews ana Courier. It says : Tbese necessary steps to give Hampton a majority will include probably the removal of some of. the Returning board legislators, aod tne tilling of tbe vacant places with men in full sympathy with the Executive of tbe State. By wbat process tbis is to be done is not iudicated, but the necessity of a legislative body-, capa ble of harmonious co operation in he w.rk of reform to which Gov. Uamptou is called is too apparent for argument . : , . ( Of course this is famous. : Of course it tramples every principle of a dem ocratic form of government in the mire; but wbat tben r is it not ;a carrying out of tbe doctrine adroea- ed by tbe whole brood ot newspa pers tbat support tbe Mississippi plan in politics? For tbe once they ate eousistent, But imagine for a , mo ment the same newspaper saying of Governor Cullom and our. Legisla ture that ii would be necessary to remove a ' number' of Democratic members of the HoQse,' aod adding J "By wbat process this is to be done is not iudicated, but lbe necessity ol a legislative body capable of harmo nious co-operative iu the work of re form to wbicb Gjv. Cullom Is apparent lor argument' oat would be tbe result ol a serious de mand like that upon- tbe Democratic members of oaf Legislature ? Yel we put to tbe mouth of- oor neighbors the bitter cup. whjcb! we ' ourselves would die before we would taste. . . We confess we q not see where all tbis is to end..
