Who is to Blame P
It is welt known that at. the late ses
sion of Congress the annual appropria
tion for the support of the Post Office
department failed to pass. What effect
this will have upon the workings of
th - at useful and necessary branch of the
Government, time must determine ;
certain, however, it is, that very many
persons employed in the transportation
of the malls will suffer severe losses,
and that portions of our country will
be deprived of postal facilities.
That the people may know upon
whom censure should be bestowed for
this failure to perform necessary legis
lation, we copy the following paragraph
from a dispatch by the agent of the
Associated Press in Washington—a
source certainly not disposed to do more
than justice to the Democracy :
" The misery which contractors will
be subjected to by the failure on the
part of the Government to meet its en
gagements is incalonlabic, and the dam
ages which they will be entitled to will
amount to millions. All this can be
charged__ to Mr. Grow's movement in
e House on Friday- night, ir. seni:Ung
an insulting message to the Senate, and I
doubtless with a view to forcing un ex-
tra session. Grow is a prominent 'Re
publican' candidate for Speaker."
The Washington Union, in an edito
rial on the defeat of tit% bill making
appropriations to conduct the mail ser
vice of the government, says it piaci!'
it out of the power of the Executive ta
maintain the existing mail service, and
then adds:
The department, at most, can use the
accruing receipts up to the close of the
fiscal year, the 30th Juno. Nearly an
moneys appropriated at the last session
have been exhausted, so that the ac
(ruing income •is alt that k is available,
and even this income will not be avail
able after the Lit of July next. Of
course it is the duty of the administra
tion at dace to adjust the service to the
means in its hands. This will require
a prompt suspension of a great many
routes, and a general reduction of all
others. Within *few weeks the country

That before Mr. Buehanan's election,
the .New York Tribune declared that "as

were elected all our territories would bo

awd deiligeedly false and wicked decia

point of the letter. and tees fact that it contains
certain politimsl allusions does not_render it
liable to a construction different from what
the writer puts upon its fees.. This letter
the President sent to tho Secretary of the
Navy, with a simple endorsement calling his
attention to its esittente, and yet this act of
the President is made the sulooet of column
after column of abuse in the Black Republi
can journals. If the President had accented
a letter containing suggestitins of an objec
tionable character, and concealed that letter,
and these conduced to influence the Secretary
.of the Navy, that would have been a cause
for Just complaint. But ho acted as any hon
est roan would have done. Ile received the
letter from Mr. Patterson, endorsed it. sent
it to the Secretary of the Navy, where it
would be placed on the files of the Depart
ment, open for public inspection. There was
ns concealment in the whole matter—no at
tempt to mislead the Secretary. There is
not even an allegation that too President
ever spoke to the Secretary of the Navy upon
the subject. The contract was awarded up
on the merits of the bids, and neither the
President nor Secretary Toucer is shown to
have acted in a manner not entirely consistent
with the duties and responsibilities of their
high positions.
The letter of Mr. Baasa, Collector of this
Port, is also produced as evidence of a desire
to influence, in an improper manner, the Sc.,-
retnry of the Navy in awarding "coutracts.
This letter, like that of Mr. Patterson, mist
distinctly asserts the principle that the
public interests are to be first regarded in the
awarding of all contracts, and when that is
done, then the claims of party men may be
considered. What is there lit this position
that is objeotionahle? Neither Mr. Baker
nor Mr. Patterson urged upon the Presideut
or Secretary Toucy to award the contracts to
certain men because they aro Democrats, if
titers/die interests will he prejudiced there
by. But this is the inference the Minority
places upon the letter, and they attack Mr.
Beceanste and the Secretary of the Naty
from that position. But the whole attempt
has proved a failure, and the originator?' (if
the vile, disreputable political scheme have
received the acorn and contempt of all hon
est men
The fact is, there is nothing proved, so ;
far as we have seer, showing that in any of
the contracts, the interests of the Govern
ment hare been sacrificed. On the contrary,
the contracts were given to responsible par
ties, at fair prioee, and the political opinions
or the different persons engaged in them
demonstrate that this consideration was sec
ondary, and not paramount as is charged in
the Report to which we are alluding.
With reference to the management of the
Brooklyn Navy lark, there appears to be
some cause of complaint, which should be
remedied at once. This, however, cannot be
charged ppasrrticularly avtinst the, present Ad
min. no, as it Is no new matter, but tole
result of long-established custom. The mi
nority fail to establish a single instance of
mismanagement in the officers of the Navy
Yard at this Port. The large number of men
employed in both yards. and especially at
this port, was owing to the amount of work
to he completed. Each year the force at the
different Navy Yards fluctuates. At one
time the number of hands will be small iu
eonseqeence of employment being scarce, at
another all that can he worked with con
venience and profit will be ordered into em
ployment to finish old work or begin and
push forward new. These facts are known
to all, were understood by the minority of
the Committee, hut they Wok a different view
of the matter in order to make out the sem
blance of a case on which to build a charge
of official malpractice. The motives are
transparent, and the attempt will fail of
' success.
With all the ingenuity of the minority
there is not a particle of evidence developed '
calculated to reflect unfavorably upon the
purity of motive, and integrity of chitracter
of the President. His conduct is free from
all censure. His constrict in all the tramline- t
tions were marked by that bold, fearless
manner which always accompanies upright
ness and devotion to principle. Cons,:loos
of the rectitude of his intentions, he scorns
concealment, and ',hoc's upon record all the
evidence. ITN All possession, ut whatever char
acter and from whomsoever received. It the .
object of the President had been what is
charged by the minority, the letters in (inc.
tion would never have seen the light. But
such was not the course pursued by Mr Bu-i
(Altman, and the facts presented by the Com
mittee are . an ample vindication of the Presi
dent frotu partisan charges made by reckless'
men to further their own political purposes,
, and advance the interests of that party which
is willing to stoop to anything in order to at
tain power and place.
But from whence come these charges, and
by whom are these efforts made to injure the
standing of the Chief Magistrate, and throw
impediments in the progress of his Adminis
tration ? Who are these sinless persons who
aro casting stones at their neighbors ? They
are the representatives of that party which

As the train of can was nearing town on

track about thrty yards beyond Rock Creek

accident demonstrated two things—sound
judgment in the engineer and peat strength
in the bridge. The ear, it is supposed, worn
over-loaded, and that the truck wheels
.4 mounted" the track by the breaking of the
bolster.
The brakeman on the burden car, noticing
that hid ear was of the track, and that the
train would inevitably have to cross tho
bridge, jumped from the platform, and rolled
down an embankment of some 15 or 20 feet,
but escaped without injury.
