FEE NOT WELL SUPPORTED

The Iloosiers Away Off in Their Fielding and Lose a Game to Philadelphia. UcstOTi Takes tie Lend in the League Race by Defeating Cleveland, While New York Went Down Before the Pittsburgh A LOOSE FIELDING GAME. The IIooKiers Have an OfT.Pay and Fall to Give Young Fee Proper Support, Loose fielding, inability to hit the ball at 4Va rirht. tim n. stnniil nnrl iTT-rn.ihlfl blander by Paul Ilines, who allowed himself to bo caught napping at second base, and a combination of other unfavorable circumstances resulted in the defeat of the Hoosierspby the Philadelphia team, at the League Park, yesterday afternoon. Young Fee was in the box for tho local club, and did exceedingly well, all things considered. Ie had fairly gooa command, of the ball, and kept the nine hits made olFhis delivery well scattered, and had he been given better support would have won the game for Lis side. lie made one error himself that coat two runs, while nearly every misplay charged to the Hoosiers resulted disastrously. Seery had an oil" day, mulling two easy flies, while Sommers made a wild throw that cost a run. The error charged to Andrews was made on a difficult chance, it being an attempt to get aline hit from Fogarty's bat, in which he hurt his hand, and had to retire from tho game. "While the local men nvere playing a looso game, the visitors "were giving Sanders excellent support, and the success of the Quakers was mainly due to that fact. Mulvey and Ilallman were both charged with errors, but they played brilliantly just the same, cutting oil" several grounders that looked like sure base hits, lu addition to putting up ft cood game in the field, the visitors nit the ball at the right time. The Hoosiers went ;out in order in the first inning. After Delehanty had fouled out to Sommers, Meyers made a scratch hit, and got to second on a Sassed ball. Fogarty hit to the infield, and leyers was run down, but the former leached third and came homo when Sommers threw wild to catch him. In the second Denny and Glasscock went out on Hies To the outfield, but Buckley tied the 6Coro ly knocking the ball ovtr the left-tield fence. Fogarty got his base on balls in the third, went to the next base on a hit and heme on Seery's mull' of ft lly by Sanders. Tho visitors added another in tho fourth on hits by Farrnr and Delehanty and a sacrifice by Ilallman. Clements s single and llallnian's two-bagger accounts for the one made in the sixth, while a base on balls. Fee's error and a double by Clements brought in two more in the seventh, the last one being the result of errors by Seery and Andrews and a passed ball. In the sixth the Hoosiers had an excellent chance to take the lead, but lost it through a stupid play by Hines. The latter made a hit, and got second when beery reached first. Fee had previously been retired, bnt with Andrews, Denny and Glasscock to follow, the prospects were bright, but Hiues walked oil of second and, apparently forgetting that he was in the game, allowed himself to be caught. Andrews and Denny both made clean singles, and, with what would have been a sacrifice instead of an out by Glasscock had Ilines not been put out, at least three runs might have crossed the plate. As it was, enly one man scored. In tho eighth Hines partially redeemed himself by making a two-baser. Seery got his base on balls, but was forced out by Andrews. The latter stole second, and went to third on Denny's sacrifice. Ilines ecoring. Hallmun unified Glasscock's Hy, and Andrews came home, but the next man was retired. After two were out in the ninth Hines made his second double, but beery went out on a lly. Score

It will close I snvenin in epito 01 anytning mat can possibly happen. Ilurkett, the young pitcher for whose services Indianapolis is paid to havo been negotiating, will probably be here later in the week, and pitch in one of the Washington games. Glasscock is second in the list of League batsmen, with an average of .SHS. Brouthcra loads, with .U78, and Kwmg follows Captain Jack, with .S3G. Glasscock has made VJ7 safe hits in 50C times at bat, and Urouthers has made 175 hits in 4fc3 chances. Umpire Lynch was interviewed at Pittsburg, last night, regarding the gamo forfeited to Cleveland by Washington last Thursday. He said both clubs decided to play off the forfeited game JSaturdaj, and in consequence two games were played on that day. In ignorance of this arrangement, tho standing of tho clubs have been made up with the forfeited gamo credited to Cleveland. President Young telegraphed last night alTirming Umpire Lynch sinterview. Boston took the lead in the Leaoruo race J for the pennant by its victory of yesteruay, aiueu uy tne ueieai 01 jmcw xorK. ine Giants, however, havo but one more game with Pittsburg and will then meet Cleveland, whero it closes the season after three Karnes. Boston then has to tackle Pittsburg, which is iust now playing great ball, and will give tne Bean-eaters all they can do to beat them. The iinish in the race is one of the prettiest in the history of the League. TURF K VENTS. Opening Day of the St. Louis Jockey Club Fall Trot tine Meeting. St. Louis, Oct. 1.

He also said his father had promised him a pair of new redtop boots if ho would kill tuo baby. Being an infant in law. his testimony against the old man was valueless, but he was sent to prison for life. He bad never heard of God or the alphabet, and did not know right from wrong. At the time of his sentence bo was ten years old, and now, at the age of twelve, ho can read and write, and is very bright. Every convict in the prison signed a petition for his pardon.

CIVIL - SERVICE BEFOMEBS

Annual 3Ieeting or the National League, and Address of Geonro W. Curtis; Hild Attempt to Criticise the Policy of President Harrison in Making Removals and Appointments to Office. Philadelphia, Oct. 1. The annual meeting of tho National Civil-service Reform League, of .which George William Curtis is president, began here this afternoon. To-day's meeting was only preliminary to tho general business meeting, which takes place to-morrow. The general committee and executive committee, in joint session, selected a committee to draw up resolutions to be presented at the meeting to-morrow, and also elected an executive board for the ensuing year. After the- transaction of this business the delegates sat down to an informal banquet tendered them by the local association, at which George William Curtis presided. Among those present were Hon. Carl Schurz, of New York; CoL S. W. Burt, ex-collector of tho port of New York; Chas. J. Bonaparte, of Baltimore; Geo. A. Pope, of Baltimore; E. L. Godkin, editor of the New York Nation; Gen. W. A. Aiken, of Norwich, Conn.; Everett P. Wheeler and Dorman B. Eaton, of New York; Sherman S. Rogers, of Bullalo; L. B. Swift, of Indianapolis; Henry L. Richmond, of Bnttalo; F. O. Mason, of Geneva, N. Y.. and Wm. Potts, secretary of the National League. This evening President Curtis delivered his annual address at Association Hall. There was a large audience, many of whom wero ladies. Mr. Curtis began his address by recounting the action of the last Republican national convention on the civil-service question, and occupied a great deal of time in attempting to show why it was President Harrison's duty to carry out the law as interpreted by civil-service reformers. Following are extracts from the remainder of his address: IIow have the pledges of the successful party and candidate been fulfilled I Have fidelity and efficiency proved to be the sure tenure of office! Has fitnes, and not party service, been the essential teat in determining appointments! Uas the Interest of the public service alone dictated removals from office! Has the great pledge of tho platform that the spirit and purpose of reform should bo observed in alt executive appointments been honorablv fulfilled! Or have such appointments generally been made precisely as they would have been mado had there been no platform promi?es, no pledges of the candidate, ar.d no publlo intereet in civil-service reform! It is not an answer to these questions, it is only an evasion of them, to say that reform is not favored by a majority of the people. The only way in "which the views of a majority of the peopeople can be known is by the result of an election. If the election of last year showed that the country was In favor of protection, It showed by precisely the Rawe demonstration that it is In . favor of civil-service reform. If there be any relation between party platforms and the pledges of candidates and the results of an election, the country in electing Mr. Uarrison declared for civil-service reform. For if an election cannot be held to be a popular approval of the platform and tne personal pledges of the candidates, who shall decide how much of them, and m what sense and degree any of them, have been appro ved I In any event, whatever doubt may rest upon tho views of the majority of the people in regard to reform, there can be no doubt of tho views, and purposes, and pledges of one citizen. There may be some question of the extent and degree of the sympathy of others. But if the simplest statement which the English language permits, if the plainest engagement to pursue a certain course of conduct, if the most Rolemn pledges uttered before God and the country has- any meaning, there is no doubt whatever of the opinions and intentions upon this subject of the President of the United btatcs. Nor is it any answer to the questions to say that the President cannot outrun public opinion nor proceed faster than his party will permit. The general political proscription; the policy which President Harrison when a Senator defined as "the frank and bold, if brutal, method or turning men and women out simply for political opinion;" the clean sweep which U proceeding m tho rostoilice; the alarm which pervades every branch of the service; tho oien, flagrant contempt for public opinion, for private information, and for the party promise, which was showa in the appointment of the late Commissioner of Pensions; the executive refusal to include tho census service iu the rules and the removal of public officers conspicuously fitted by character, ability and experience, who havo absolutely and confessedly disregarded politics in their devotion to official duty and the publio service, all these facts, and sueh as the$-e, answer the question, how has the executive action conformed to tho party promise and the President's pledge) Certainly every act of tbo administration Is not a violation of the party declarations. Every removal is not unjustifiable nor is every ap1oirtment unnecessarj. But whtnevera change 3 made the essential question, according to the principles of reform and the party pledge, is not whether party politicians demand a change but whether there are legitimate reasons forit. It is not enough that the appointment of a postmaster or a naval officer shall bo acceptable to tho party machine of which he, Is screw; the vital question is whether the interests of the publio service and the express engagements of the party with the country require that a perfectly 00mletent and satisfactory officer shall be dismissed! This question is not answered by saying that his successor is personally honest and intelligent. If all tho publio officers wero changed every week the supply of honest and intelligent successors would not be exhausted. The appointment of a good officer Is no excuse for the needless and arbitrary removal of another good officer. This league justly held that the course in regard to the civil service pursued in Massachusetts by the late administration was no excuse for the course pursued in Maryland. It is true that Komo was not built in a day, and that a great rerorm cannor . ho accomplished at once. That is a sound general proposition. But no executive bent upon reform in the civil service would urge as an excuse for displacing an entirely capable otlicer that he desired to reward a serviceable rartisan with his place. Upon these terms Borne would not only never have been built, but the first stone would never have been laid. The President has selected an admirable Civil-, servico Commission. Every member of it Is a sincere believer in the necessity and the practicability of reform, and its vigilance and vigor are the best earnest of its effective service. He has refused aUo to extend the time appointed ' for4ncluding the railway mail service within the rules, and he has authorized the publication of the eligible lists. Besides these few executive acts, the significance pf which is destroyed by the general executive course, there is littlo that shows any effective party regard for the resounding promises of the platform. There is, indeed, a firm and strong protest in a portion of the parly press against the abandonment of the platform. But these papers, like the leaders, do not condemn the constant contempt for reform shown by the administration. They commend the personal character of those who are appointed to office, without stating frankly that ft is not the appointment but tho removal which truly indicates the spirit and drift of the administration. They apeak in no tone of challenge, and command, and conscious jxiwcr to arrest the executive and the party chiefs of every detrree in the reckless repudiation of good faith with the country, K. OF L. EXECUTIVE BOARD. Jlr. Powderlj Explains Why ne Ordered tho Missouri Pacific Strike Discontinued. St. L0UI3, Oct 1. General Master Workman Powderly, of the Knights of Labor, arrived hero tbis morning. In an interview he said that the meeting Of the executive board in this city is a regular one, and not called to consider any general or local misunderstanding, as he knows of none of any consequence existing. He has no information of an anti-Powderly meeting to beheld by discontented Knights of Labor. Mr. Holland, member of the executive board, 6peaking in regard to the local wrangle among the Knights, said: "We kon't know anything about that. A mistaken impression prevails concerning our mission here. We are not here for the purnose of investigating any local troubles. We set our meeting on this date, last July, in Chicago, and named St. Louis as the place before this local tight was developed. The old executive board held all its meetings in Philadelphia, bnt this board adopted the plan of meeting at different cities of the Union, because it gives us a better opportunity to study the situation, and also because it affords members of the order a better opportunity to bring matters before us." Mr. Powderly may have something to say concerning the tight that is being made tin the order here, but we have not." Replying to criticisms upon his action during tho Missouri Pacilic strike, Mr. Powderly to-day said: "My record in the matter of the Southwestern strike is open to inspection and is understood and indorsed by tho order. Tho strike was ordered with

out due authorty. Tho constitution of the order was violated. I havo in my possession numerous letters from local assemblies begging the executive board for God's sake to step in and end the struggle. After my trip West during the strike I returned to New York and there met Mr. Gould. I supposed that he was a'mau of his word. At the conference held in the Astor House, Jay Gould said that he would arbitrate the trouble with his men. This was all we had asked, and I ordered the strike off. The next day Gould stated that ho meant by arbitrating with his men those who were in his employ at tho time. What nonsense and dnplicity that was! Gould had no trouble with tho men who were at w ork. I was simply trapped." Mr. Towderly was asked: "Can you say what your position in regard to the appointment of Furlong as chief of tho government secret service isf" "I opposed him and still do most strenuously. My reason for so doing is his prosecution, or rather persecution of men engaged in the Southwestern strike who were innocent of all wrong doing. I am confident that some men committed illegal acts, although I havo no personal knowledge of nnv, but the men whom Furlong persecuted had been guilty of no crime or misdemeanor whatsoever. I have the authority of the trial courts for this statement. As a citizen I deem it my duty to inform the President when he is appointing an unworthy man to office, and 1 did this in the case of Furlong." MWas your protest that of an individual or that of the board of Knights of Labor?" "I protested in both characters, first as T. V. Powderly, and afterward received indorsements which made me tho spokesman of the order. I do not know how some of the signatures of Western district assemblies were obtained to indorsements of Furlong's candidacv. Some were improperly obtained, I know, and this matter will receive full investigation." To-night Master Workman Powderly attended a mass-meeting of local assemblies, f (resided over by O. IC Lake, a leading ocal night. Mr. Powderly addressed the meeting and boldly denounced his enemies. He read a number of letters with reference to the Furlong matter, showing that the forgeries alleged were committed, and at tho close of his speech ho was indorsed by the meeting in all he has done, opposition to Furlong included, and the promised discomfiture of Powderly when he reached St. Louis has already fallen through.

rOOTTCS IN THE SOUTH. A Change Is Coming: Which Will Involve the Counting of the Negro Vote. Birmingham (Ala.) Special. There is probably no closer observer of political methods in the South than Lewis Parsons, jr.. United States District-at-orney for the Northern district of Alabama. Mr. Parsons was a confederate soldier, but since the war he has been a Republican, and has taken high rank as a lawyer and politician. Speaking of political methods in the South. Mr. Parsons said the other day: "There must be a change, and it is coming soon. If the people of the South, I mean tho Democrats, do not chango their political methods of their own accord, they will be compelled to change them. This thing of counting out tho votes of the negroes while we base our representation in Congress and iu conventions on these votes canuot go on forever. It has been going on too long now. Not only are the people of the North, and the East, and the West getting tired of it, but it is causing local dissatisfaction; it is bringing abont dissensions in the ranks of the party which is responsible for the system, and in this I find cause to hope that it will very soon be broken up forever. The system is wronjr; it is wrong from any Twint of view; it breeds moral and political corruption, and it cannot survive. "Tho Democrats plead in excuse of these ballot-box frauds that it is self-preservation; that they must count out the negro voto or submit to neero rule. Havo they ever in kindness asked tho negro to vote with themf No! They would rather couut out his vote than to have him voto with them. They cannot plead selfpreservation in defense of this corrupt political system, because they overdo the thing. They aro not content with counting out enough negro votes to give them a majoiity, but they couut in Democratic votes in order to increase their representation in Congress, in the State Legislatures and in party conventions. "Give me money enough and I can carry Alabama for tho Republican ticket at every election, and I will do it simply by paying men to bo honest. I will say to the judges of the election: 'We are going to vote so many Republican tickets at this box and if you count that many, I will pay you so much.', I would pay them to count the votes as they are voted, pay them to act honestly for once and we would carry the State by a big majority. We do not have a Republican form of government in the South. Wherea small majorityrules.it is not Republican government. 1 will cite one instance of the point I made about counting more votes than are polled iu order to increase the representation of a State or county. Dallas connty, Alabama, has '1,00 Democratic voters and about 7,000 Republican voters. They count in 9,000 Democratic votes at every election. The result is these 1,800 Democrats in Dallas county send as many delegates to a State convention as 9,000 Democrats in other counties. Dallas county sends four Representatives and one Senator to tho State Legislature. They are all Democrats. In the eastern part of the State, in tho white counties, four counties with a total Democratic vote of 10,000, send one Senator nnd four Representatives to the State Legislature. These Democrats in the counties where the negroes are in the majority not only legislate for the majority of the people in their own counties, but they actually control the legislation of the State and control their party in State conventions. "We 6end I don't know how many men to Congress based on this silent majority of voters in the South, whose votes are never counted. Each of these Congressmen has the same power as a Congressman from any section of the country. He is not a representative of a majority of the people, but a representative of the minority. This is not only an injustice to the majority here, but it is an injustice to the people of the whole country. I am glad to be able to say that the people of the South are at least beginning to wake up to the dangers of such Solitical methods. They must be abanoned, and it cannot be done too soon." MILLIONS CARELESSLY HANDLED. IIow the. Precious Metals Are Transported from the Montana Mines. Granite (Mont.) letter. Repeated experiences with tho ups and downs of mining make men callous. So, too, long familiarity with the eight of gold and silver galore breeds indifference. hen the train from Phillipsburg arrived, at Drummond, on the main lino, yesterday morning, the expressmen unloaded from the car thirty big bars of metal. They rolled them out of the car door upon an open truck, trundled the truck down the platlorm, and left it standing where it would be convenient for tho east-bound train a couple of hours later. Waiting travelers, as they strolled along, stopped to look at the big bars. Some of the more curious turned them over, "hefted" them, and speculated on the value. Tho thirty bars were the semi-weekly shipment from "the greatest 6ilver mine in the world." They might have been so many pigs of lead, if one might judge from the manner in which they were handled and left exposed. But when they were turned over there was a silver gleam where the precious metal had solidified at the bottom of the mold. And when a knife or a key was struck against the side of one of tho bars the 6harp, clear ring of the cartwheel dollar was given forth. Each one of those bars contained $1,500 in silver, and the truck as it stood upon the platform held $45,000. But the silver was safe enough, just as certain to reach Granite Mountain stockholders in the next monthly dividends as if it bad been inclosed in express safes with combination locks, or as if X. Bledler, the still surviving and famous Montana pro tector of Wells, Fargo &. Co.'s treasure-box of the early days, stood guard with his Winchester. The bars 01 bullion were hefted" and "rung" until the depot loiterers tired of the sportand they then were left alono in their glory! In the pioneer period the bankers of Helena thought nothing of sending $1,000,000 worth of gold dust by the freighting wagons across the country 200 miles to Fort Benton for shipment by river. They intrusted the treasure to acquaintances who chanced to be making tho trip, exacted no bond, and felt no anxiety. The millions went through safely, although the boundary of the British dominions is temptingly near part of the route to Fort Benton. Banker Hershfield, of Helena, tells an interesting story of a mart by whom he once sent $150,000 in cold dost from Helena.

The man who carried the treasure was only a casual acquaintance of the banker Two or three days out from Helena the stajre by which the trip was being made met with art accident. It rolled down a hillside, and the treasure-carrier was badly hurt. Several of his ribs were broken. He was taken to a cabin, and there he lay in.agony, with tho dust still fastened about him, positively refusing to let it be removed until Mr. Hershfield could be sent for and the trust could be returned to his hands. Men may not be more honest in Montana than elsewhere, but it is a fact that thefts of bullion have'been of rare occurrence. CHARGES AGAINST MRS. BURNETT. Another American Woman Said to Have ' Cheated Her' Hoy Character. London Special to New York World. The savage scribes who are always after some famous author's scalp have at last Eot a grip on that of Mrs. Frances Hodgson urnctt. They llatly accuse her of stealing the entire plot and most of tho dialogue of "Little Lord Fauutleroy" from an aspiring Ar&ncan lady who appealed to her lor advice and Guidance. This start liner ac cusation is based upon a letter dated Balti- I more, July 1, of this year, which has never yet 6een daylight, but which has' been discussed during the last week at the Garrick and Athenaeum clubs, and which will be published all over London to-morrow on the authority of Mr. Saville Clarke, one of the host known literary reviewers and play wrights in London. He sa38 that he received the letter from Mr. A. A. Hayes, to whom it was originally addressed. It is signed A. T. Winthrop. The reviewer who makes the letter public says that it was sent to a literary paper in America, but was suppressed through the influence of friends of Mrs, Burnett. The name of the novel from which "Little Lord Fauntleroy" is alleged to have been stolen is called "Wilfred" It was published in New York. Numbers of passages are quoted by Mr. Clarke from both "Wilfred0 and 'Little Lord Fauntleroy," showing the same ideas presented in exactly similar language. Mrs. Burnett, who is at present stopping in London, was quite unaware of the storm gathering about her head until the World correspondent called upon her to-night and informed her about the matter. "I have not the IcasUdea who Mrs. Winthrop is," said Mrs. Burnett. "And not the slightest recollection of ever having given her any advice or of reading her ooks. I receive hundreds of letters every year asking for advice, some of which I try to answer, and get scores of books asking for opinions, most of which I never ever think of reading, because I have not the time. Everybody who knows me and my boy Vivian knows that "Little Lord Fountleroy" is based upon his personality, that the dialogue is the reproduction of his actual chatter. Somebody named Winthrop may have written to me for advice and have afterwards sent me a book, but I have no recollection of it. Whoever she is, I congratulate her upon her shrewd scheme for setting an advertisement for her revised edition at my expense." , AT HARPER'S FERRY. The Unflinching Courage of Stevens In the Face of Death. PhiladelDhia Press. During the John Brown raid at Harper's Ferry, while Brown held the armory -yard and engine-house, he had pickets stationed at different points commanding the approaches. John Brown's right-hand man. Lieutenant Stevens, with lour men. held the end of the bridge which crosses the Potomac until they were driven thence by the citizens of Harper's Ferry. They then retreated toward the engine-house, held by John Iirown. Meantime ten or twelve men (citizens)' entered the Gault Hause, by means of tbe rear entrance, and by firing from tbo windows and doorways of the barroom of the saloon, they were able to command the street from the end of the bridge to the engine-house. As Stevens and party retreated along this 6treet they were fired upon by the men in the Gault House, and one of tne men, Thompson by name, felL Stevens did not know this until he reached the engine-house. Nothing daunted, in the face of almost certain death, he returned alone and tried to carry his friend and comrade, Thompson, away. He was fired at and fell badly wounded, but not before he returned the fire. He and Thompson wero then carried into the Shenandoah HoteL Then Thompson was immediately taken out on the bridge and shot and his body thrown into the river. The crowd then returned for Stevens. Just as they entered the room Mrs. Foulke, the wife of the landlord, entered, and, with the tender heart and love1 of mercy of a woman, pleaded with the crowd to spare Stevens's life. Stevens, supposing that they were going to kill him then and there, with an efi'ort raised himself on his elbow and said: "Gentlemen, have respect for the lady; do not kill me in her presence, bnt take me out and kill me." His bravery saved his life for the time. He was taken to Charlestown, and afterward tried, convicted and hanged. He mounted the scafiold firm and unflinching, with a smile on his countenance. America's Ill-Mannered Children. ' New York Tribune. We are too apt to take it for granted that boys are irreverent,thoughtless and uncoath by a sort of a natural right, and wo therefore excuse their faults of manner" on tbe simple irronnd that they are boys. Similarly, though to less degree, the manners of girls are neglected. The consequence of all this Is that the rudeness ami irreverence of American children have become a by-word all over the world. It may be that the public schools could do something to remedy this evil, but parents could do much more.

The fact of the matter is that parents obey their children altogether too much in this country. They do not look for respectful obedience from their children, and, rol eourse, therefore they do not get it. Nor does anybody else pet it, either. Strange as it may appear, there are parents who are actually proud of therndenessaud pertnesa of their children; they look upon it as tin evidence of "smartness." And in this way children are encouraged to make nuisances of themselves in public places, Needs of the Postal Service. Ex-Fostmaster-gener&l Dickinson, in, North Amer. lean lie view. What is demanded, and what must speedily come, is a distribution of the powers and responsibilities of the postofiice establishment. A former head of the department, who was distinguished alike for his able administration and for patient and enlightened study of the whole subject of postal affairs, once suggested that there 6hould be a Postmaster-general in each State. A properly reorganized system will be one of territorial divisions, and their number and extent may be adjusted by a value standard of the business transacted from year to year; on the heads ?f these, who should have their offices and reside in their respective districts, should be conferred the powers and laid the responsibilities at present reposed in the Postmastergeneral, save such as relate to tho moro universal interests of the country: and these should bo defined in general and reeerved in express terms to the central office at Washington. The Postmaster-general should be permitted to devote his entire time and all his ability to shaping policies, improving systems, attending Congress with intelligent aid, exercising a general supervision over division chiefs, providing for the transportation of the great through mails, and in negotiating conventions and regulating our large ana increasing postal business with other nations. The other chief reform to which I have referred relates to the laws providing for carrying the mails and to the proper exercise by Congress of its power to establish and control post-roads. It goes without saying that railroad transportation has come to be a necessity in the mail service, for which there is no possible substitute. There is absolute dependence upon tli method as certainly as if there rever bud been any other. All relations, commercial or otherwise, are adjusted to modern and rapid methods of communication; yet tho important branch of the government to which the administration of postal affairs is committed has no power whatever to serve this need, except by contract. It is clothed with no more authority in tho premises than any private individual i. e.. aright to contract if tbe other party will agree, and even after contract its power extends no further than to withhold compensation in case of failure to perform by tho carrier. It is a startling proposition, that the only alternative method provided in case any great trunk line should refuse to renew its contract for carriage, is that set out in the act of Congress, hereafter quoted, which authorizes the Postmastergeneral in such case to 6end forward tho mails "by horse-express orotherwise." Grant and the Ylcksburjj Campaign Lord Wolseley. In North American Review. Though not prepared to modify the opinion expressed elsewhere, that General Leo was the most remarkable man the civil war produced, and though I cannot admit that General Grant possessed at all the same genius for command, yet it must be at once confessed that it is an immense relief to turn from the mirage of these indecisive battles and movements in the West to tho story of the Vicksburg campaign. In its general character of sudden movement, by which he enlisted on the side of his army the advantage of surprise by a concentrated force, unentangled by any line ct supplies, the Vicksburg campaign closely resembles many of Jackson's operations. It had something of the character of his campaign in the Shenandoah Valley, and somethingthat recalled his movements which preceded the second Bull Kun. Tho news of snch strokes as Grant delivered in rapid succession at Port Gibson, Sonth Fork, Fourteen-mile Creek. Kaymond, Jackson, Champion's Hill and Big Black liiver, coming at a moment when gold had gone up to a figure hitherto unknown, and in the very weeks which immediately succeeded Chancellorsville and preceded Lee's invasion of Pennsylvania, must, indeed, have seemed like a sudden break of light through the darkest of clouds. No wonder, therefore, that public attention became concentrated on the siege of Vicksburg. The very fact that six weeks elapsed before the surrender was probably in favor of Grant's reputation. It gave time for representative people from the North to gather in the besieger's lines, and hear from the victorious army all the particulars about the successful campaign, and to learn how entirely it depended for its conception and execution upon tho skill of one man, and upon the confidence which ho had inspired in his subordinates.
