WEELS-FARGO AND THE POSTOFFICE
DEPARTMENT.
A deti rmine d attack haa been made
upon Well-", Fargo ft Oo.'s express by the
I'ostal Department, a Commission having
reported that the company, by carrying
letters, enters into serious competition
with the United States mails, and dimin
ishes the revenue of the department. The
representations pE the Commission are by
no means faithful or exact. The truth is
that the express company has supplied
j.aMic wants which the (iovernment did
not supply; that it has afforded the public
a measure of security which the Govern
ment did not aff>rd ; that it has actually
increased the revenues of the Postal De
partment by establishing an active mr.il
service with a multitude of points wholly
neglected by thu Government. It is a
ground of complaint with the Commission
that the express company have a, letter
service '"which they endeavor by every
" means in their power to render more
" efficient than the regular service," and
which has consequently " become a for
"midable competitor with the Goveru
" ir.ent for pnblic patronage."' This is
not a complaint in which the public
can sympathize, nor can it be regarded as
furnishing any ground for the abolition of
the express letter tervice. The l.t'.cr has
rendered to the people of the Pacific coast
most invaluable serrice, and they are not
in favor of such action as is proposed.
The express company has been from the
pioneer times until now the only means of
communication available by hundreds of
mining campa and frontier settlements. .
To abolish itß letter service even now
wovld deprive a large number of such
places of all mail facilities. For it is em
phatically not true, as the Commission
.assert, that ''the Putoffice has extended
" its routes to every hamlet in that (this)
" region.' It has clone nothing of the kind.
■ is it:'! a very large and important
portMß of the mail service attended to solely
by WeQa, forgo & Co. Cut even if this
wore not so the demand for the
abolition of the letter service would be
unjustifiable, for as regards the important
question cf safe transmission, the Govern
ment cannot pretend to compote w th the
company. Before such a pro; rasi! i,; can
be made with any pretense ai justice, it
must be demonstrated that the Govern
ment ia both ready and able to take up
and carry on the work hitherto, done by
the express company. That this is not
likely to be the case for some time has
been shown recently through the scandals
growing out of the "star " route business.
Tke abolition of Wells-Fargo's letter-carry
ing of coarse would involve a large exten
sion of " star" routes, and we are satisfied
th \t the country wants no more of those
kind of contracts t'nan are unavoidable.
The express company have organized a
magnificent, extensive and splendidly effic
ient service, which is and has been of the
greatest possible utility to the people of
the Pacific coast. They have made
the most liberal expenditures in order to
accommodate the public. They undertook
this work years before the Government
thought of bestowing upon us more than
the most slovenly and inadequate service.
They carry mails to-day on scores of routc3
where there ia no postal service. The su
perior efficiency of their service ia every
where recognized. They do cot, however,
rob the revenues of the department. They
make new basiuca?, which simply would
not exist if the department had the mo
nopoly it demands. As regards the legal
aspects o£ the matter we do not propose to
aay anything now, but there can be no
doubt whatever that the suppression of
the express letter carriage on this coast
would be a most serious injury to the pub
lic, and that it cculd not bo compensated
by the postal department. We trust that
Congress will proceed with the utmost
caution upon this business.
NO TIME FOR COMPROMISE.
The announcement that the Citizens'
Protective U: iou at San Francisco had
beea in 'uced to hold a " conference" with
KaUoch anil Ki-aru<y, with a view to
"compromising" the existing ('.ifHcultic.-',
was received by all tlioughtful obserrers
with prafooad astonishuient, and equally
profound uis2i>puintineiit and disgust. It
would seem from this that the popular
nnder=tai.diu^ of the purposes of the re
cent org-inizition of citizens in San Fran
cisco must have been altogether erroneous,
aad that the press throughout the country
was misled into giving it credit for a flrm
1103°} and spirit to which it has no title.
For it is very certain that the situation is
one in which no basis for "compromise"
or "conciliation" exists. San Francisco
has for three years been disgraced and
damaged by the brutality aud turbulence
of ;i gang of foul-mouthed miscreants who
have outraged every requireaient of civil
ized agitation ; who have counseled murder
aad arson and pillage ; ivho have poisoned
the oars of the public with the language of
the 3teivs ; who have paralyzed busi
ness, caused the depreciation of real ts
tate,,driven out" capital, disturbed and
unsettled everything', and tloi:e their ut
most to bring about a social war/ They
have pandered to the communistic heresies
of every luzy loafer who'abuses the pros
perous because his own whUky-muddled
brain and pithless arris are impotent to
raisk! him above the dead level of hopeless
incapacity. They have organized the ignor
ance, the a'.ien hatred of all governmental
restraint, the lurking hostility of the in
competent against the competent. They
have marshaled these elements of anarchy,
and have led them against civilization.
They have by these proceedings brought
the cunimunity to the brink of ruin, and .it
this stage, when at last the representa
tives of order and progress and law seemed
to have exhausted their patience, and to
have resolved upon the rescue.and vindi
cation of outraged society, we are told that
a "conference" ha 3 been arranged be
tween the demagogue^ and ruffian leaders
of the anarchic mob, and that steps are
being taken to effect a " compromise." We
are amazed and ashamed at this puling
outcome of so resolute a beginning, and we
see in it the effects of counsels which
threaten to be fatal to the cause of order.
For this is no time for compromise or con
ciliation. It is the outraged people alone
who have any right to make the terms, and
the villainous disturbers of the public
peace ought to think themselves well otf if
they escape with their worthless lives.
The crisis which has been reached is not
to be met by senile timidity and shulHing
concessions. There is only one kind of
language suitable for the expression of the
public determination. We thought there
wa3 some indication of the right spirit in
the initial declaration of the Citizens' Pro
tective Union, but it seems that this was
merely a flash in the pan, and that nothing
earnest waa really intended.
We trust even now that the reports of
the compromise with Kearney, Kalloch,
et al., have been exaggerated, and that so
fatal a policy as that pointed at by the
Bulklin and Call will not be adopted. It
would indeed be a "sorrow's crown of
sorrows " if San Francisco ; should cap the
climax of her past pusillanimity by under
taking to treat these men as though they
were foreign powers, with whom solemn
leagues and covenants might properly be
ratified. Jso more scathing commentary
upon such a line of action could be found
than consists in Judge Rix's sentence upon
Kearney yesterday, and we trust that it
came in time to restore some moral courage
to those degenerate representatives of a
once gallant and self-reliant community,
who have shown so fatuous an inclina
tion to palter with their trust. For
no true friend of San Francisco Will counsel
compromise now. The city has reached
a point at which she must once and for
all settle the question of her future govern
ment, and must determine whether it shall
be conducted in accordance with American
doctrines and principles, or be handed over
to the howling mob that form the con
stituency of Kearney and Kalloch. The city
can afford to make no concessions whatever
to the ruffianly element. On the contrary,
that element must be made to keep its
place. Its leaden must be told that they
will no longer be permitted to organize
anarchy and sedition, and that if
they persist in that bad business
they ' will be hanged. If that is
not what the Citizens'. Protective Union
meant in its proclamation, then the organ
ization was a farce. If it was not pre
pared to go to whatever lengths the safety
of the community rendered necessary,
then its projectors would have dona more
wisely to remain in their offices and stores,
and submit quietly to the brutal and law
less proceedings of the Kearneyites. And
if now they are going to "compromise"
the matter with the public enemies, it will
have to be recorded that the victory in
this struggle remained at last with Kear
ney and Kalloch, and that the leading citi
zens of San Francisco only bestirred them
selves enough to make it conspicuously ap
parent that their capacity for self-govern
ment was a thing of the past.
NO GROUNDS FOR A VETO.
It 13 bein^ alloged by some of those who
think the Governor ought to veto the rev
enue bill, that it goes further than the
Constitution, and that therefore he would
be justified in refusing to sign it. Tliita the
Bulletin says "the clause in the bill mak
" ing it imperative to tax the deposits of
" savings banks is a species of double tax
" ation nut even required by the Constitu
" tion." Thi9 language of our contempo
rary almost justifies a suspicion that it has
failed to study with sufficient care either
the bill or the Constitution. The asser
tion that the Constitution does not require
the kind of double taxation here referred
to is wholly without warrant. The defini
tion of property contained in the Constitu
tion unquestionably includes all certificates
and representatives of property whatever,
and therefore it calls fcr the most sweep
ing and exhaustive multiform taxation.
The friends of the Constitution have
steadily denied that it prescribed double
taxation, but no one of them has
ever denied that it required the
taxation of all representatives of prop
erty, as well as the property represented.
They admit that this is in the Constitu
tion, bat they contend that it does not
constitute double taxation. The conten
tion is of course a quibble about the name
of the proceeding, and it is nothing more.
But whatever it is called, whether double
taxation, or single taxation repeated, or
whatever name sophists may apply, the
thing itself is there, imbedded deep in the
heart of the Organic law, and no exercise
of the veto power can eliminate it. The
new revenue bill follows the Constitution,
and does not go beyond it, for the simple
but sufficient reason that it would be im
possible to do so. To what useful end,
then, wonld Governor Perkins exercise
the veto power ? The evil against which
he is imp'ored to lift up iiis hand
is not within iiis reach. If, as i 3
asseited, the tew revenue bill, foil
the Constitution a3 it does, threatens the
interos,t3 of saving 3 banks, the situation
cannot be amended by vetoing this bill.
So long as the new Constitution endures
that menace will hang over savings iiisti
tutii us. At uv'ery Legislature the fame
danger will recur, aud other ExL-cuUvea
may sign such bills. The mere apprehen
sion of this must prove fatal to the stability
of the menaced institutions. Monetary
orgauization proves impracticable under
such conditions. But the evil is already
beyond remedy, beoan*e it is fixed in the
organic law, and therefore nothing eaa be
gained by an attempt to evade it. There
is no feature in the revenue bill upon
which a veto could be grounded frfaieh
would not involve contravention of the
Constitution. And because thig is so we
are of opinion that Governor Perkins has
no warrant for withholding his signature
from the bill.
A POINT WELL TAKEN.
A correspondent elsewhere makes a very
strong showing in favor of a change in the
apportionment of the school fund. He
alleges that under the old system (which is
continued by the new bill), the apportion
ment o£ school meney in the various dis
tricts Ins been regulated by the school
census, and that this is an untrustworthy
quid..', because it may, and often docs,
give the names (if many children who
never attend school. It thus happens
that districts where Spanish Catholics
predominate may seeur3 relatively large
appropriations, though in' fact the num
ber of children receiving instruction is
very small ; while districts containing
a small number of American children,
who all go to school, receive far less
than thty could find usea for. Clearly this
is a state of things which ought not to ex
ist any longer, and it would be very unde
sirable that the new system should perpetu
ate any such unsatisfactory arrangement.
The school census is not a reliable standard
of apportionment. It uu;;ht to be ascer
tained how many children in a district ac
tually attend school. Our correspondent
suggests a mode of distributing the pro
rata fund which may meet the require
ments of the case, and which is certainly
an improvement on the old method. We
would call the attention of the Superin
tendent of Public Instruction to this mat
ter particularly, and commend it also to
the Legislature.
KEARNEY'S SENTENCE.
Judge Rix has deserved well of the com
munity. His sentence upon Kearney yes
terday was the lirst indication of genuine
moral stamina we have recognized in San
Francisco for a long time. It is just and
proper that in such a case the full penalty
permissible under the law should be in
flicted. It is only by such stern and un
flinching administration of the law that
the prevalent ruffianism ?au be met. Of
course Kearney will appeal his case to a
higher Court, and it is impossible to foresee
what disposition of it will finally be made,
but it is refreshing to find lhat Jndge Biz
at least is not tainted with say "compro
" mise " tendencies, and that he knows
how to deal with a rogue when he has one
before him. And it is time that the pub
lic conscience, dulled and hardened by
three years endurance of incendiary lan
guage, should be stimulated by such a
sentence to a fresh appreciation of the real
extent of the offense of which Kearney ha.s
bees habitually guilty. The well-meaning
old women who have been puttering about
trying to effect a "reconciliation" be
tween the communists and incendiaries
and the people whose lives and property
they have menaced, must have felt a qualm
when they found how sharp a contrast ex
isted between their own craven and futile
experiments and the manly thoroughness
of this faithful Judge.
SHALL THE WRONG CONTINUE ?
Eds. RrcoßD-Usios : There is one gross
wrong in the present school law. It ii in the
apportionment of the i " prorata " fund by
County Superintendents. The present law
is that after each district has received its §500
or 8300, as the case may be, for each teacher
employed, • all surplus funds shall be ap
portioned among districts according to the
number of census children, regardless of their
school attendance. What is the result?
Those interested ■in schools are more
anxious to show a large census
roll than a large, well-kept i or suc
cessful school. Change the law of
apportionment so as to apportion surplus
moneys in excess of the usual sum to each
district, or each ' teacher employed, so that
the piorata shall be given to such schools
only as shall have an average daily attend
ance in excess of twenty-five pupils for each
teacher, and let 'each fund be apportioned
pro rata on, that excess of attendance, and
you will at one* enlist every parent who has
any regard for the education of his own chil
dren, for the keeping up of a fund to carry on
a school for a time, ami in a manner to be of
the greatest benefit to all the children in
the community, and to enlist efforts of
all such to keep 3up school attend
ance. As it is now, no such incentive is
offered by the school law ; a big census roll
secures the "desired funds, and that is the
main thing sought. One of the best school
Trustees in our county said a few days ago :
" I don't care how niauy children stay away
from school, so that we only just have th«ir
names on the census roll." That sentiment
is dominant under the present law, even
among teachers and school officers. : Another
evil is, that some districts are made up
largely of . Spanish Catholic children
who will ; not. attend the public school,
and -we have hundreds of such school
districts in our. State. Such districts draw
very large fund 3 for the support of very small
schools, while other districts among dense set
tlements of Eastern people draw but a small
fund for a very large school. As a case in
point, a large Spani-h district in our valley
draws yearly about 552,000, and has an average
daily attendance of only eight pupils in its
school. . My own district here draws less than
$000, and has an average school attendance
of over fifty pupil?, with every grade repre
sented, from A B C's to geometry, and cor
responding branches in literature and science.
Shall this wrong: be perpetuated in the new
school law ? i :' "■ W. A. Sandebs.

5 The United States Minister to Ch na.
[Special to the Record-Union. 1
I , WASHINGTON, March lGth. — After afford
ing Miui3ter S9ward ample opportunity to
retire from the diplomatic service vountarily,
and, as stated in these dispatches several
times during the past few months, has been
confidently expected, the President haa em
phatically requested his resignation as Mini.-,-
ter to China, and there is perfectly reliable au
thority for stating, in addition to hid views,
that if the resignation be not forthcoming
very soon Mr. Seward will be removed.'
The selection of Se ward's successor is not
yet made, and it Mams likely to be a trouble
some question for Secretary Evarts and Pres
ident Hayes to determine. They would,
under ordinary circumstances, be quite will
ing to appoint John i". Swift, in compliance
with the recommendation of the California
delegation, and in accordance with the almost
uniform custom of giving this appointment
to a Pacific coast man, but they are wholly
unwilling to brave the Eastern sentiment by
intrusting the conduct of the negotiation!* on
ths Chinese emigration question to a Cali
torciau exclusively, whose views upon the
subject are known to be at variance with the
prevalent Eastern opinions and prejudices,
both of a commercial and so-called humani
tarian nature. This embarrassment has given
rise to some talk of asking Congress for au
thority and an appropriation to send out some
sort of a Commission to negotiate with the
Chinese Government for a modification or
the Burlinganic- treaty, our new. Min
ister, Swift, for instance, to be one member
of the Commission, and some Eastern man
to be the other. This anomalous suggestion
may perhaps be qualified so as to provide for
detailing some one already employed in the
diplomatic service elsewhere to accompany
the obnoxiously anti-Chinese Californian to
Pekin and serve as a balance wheel to him,
but M yet the whole subject has not passed
beyond the domain of . inchoate suggestion
and timid speculation.
Tiro Long Pemlinz Matters Pi*|>u«<'<l of.
Washington, March 16th.— The House
Committee on Foreign Affaiis have disposed
of two long | pending matters, one being
known a3 the • "Chinese indemnity fund."
Representative Wilson was authorized to re
port to the House for passage his bill, which
provides that the "Chinese indemnity fund,"
now under control of the Secretary of State,
be paid over to the Government of China,
except that a sum shall be retained sufficient,
in the opinion of the Executive, to pay the
amounts which may be awarded by the Court
of Claims to owners of the bark Caldera, and
such further sum as may be necessary to in
demnify the owners of the .-hip Forest Belle
for the plunder and destruction of said ship.
Representative Cox u:u also instructed to
report his bill to the House with a favorable
recommendation. The bill directs th ■ Presi
dent to pay to the Government of Japan
8785,000 iv gold coin, now under control of
the State Department, with interest. The
bill further directs the President, from the
increase and accrued interest * upon said
Japanese fun to pay to the officers and crew
nf the United States ship Wyoming $125,
--000, for . their meritorious services in the
destruction of hostile vessels in the straits of
Sbenionoseki in July, 1803, and to the
officers and crew of the steamer Takeans: for
similar services during September, 1864. The
President is. directed, after the payment of
the sums thus authorized, to cause the
amount remaining of said fund to be con
verted iLto the Trueasury of the United
States.
The committee also agreed to report favor
ably to the House of Representative Neil's
bill, which provides that any person,
originally a citizen of the United State?, who
has been naturalized a British subject, may
be restored to citizenship in the United
States by publicly subscribing to a declara
tion of renunciation of his British naturaliza
tion before any Court authorized by law to
admit aliens to naturalization.
The lava-ion of the I(c 3n<liun Keser

WASHINGTON, March 10th. — The Secretary
of the Interior to-day received a telegram
from the Los Pinos Agency, dated March
14th, (stating that a uumber of parties had
already started placer claims and taken up
ranches on the Ute reservation, and others
were preparing to follow. The telegram
says : ''The next two weeks will see the reser
vation swarming with tiespasser?, aud a con
flict v inevitable." The Agent concludes
with a request that troopt be ordered to the
reservation, for the purpose of protecting the
I'tes. This matter was 'the subject of con
sideration at the meeting of the Cabinet to
day, .".nd later Secretary Schurz had a con
ference on tlicr subject with Ouray and the
1 te chiefs iuw here awaiting the action of
Congress on their agreement wiih the Gov
ernment as to cc ling thtir reservation. It
wa< decided at this conference that ir. orde*
to influence their nation against hostilities
the Ute chiefs (should leave at once for Colo
rado. This afternoon the following order
evas issued :
Department of tub INTERIOR, )
Wasiiinutos, March 16. 1880. (
It having been brought to the attention of the
Interior Department that persons ara now entering
the Ute reservation, in the State of Colorado, for
the purpose of locating ranches and mineral claims,
notice is hereby given that such locations and claims
will DOt be recognized by the Interior Department,
as the lands embodied within said reservation are
Dot DOW public lands of the United .States, and no
location made thereon can or will be recotrnized as
legal, except those made after the land* shall have
been regularly restored to the public domain.
C. SUIIUUZ, Secretary,
The Secretary has also addressed a com*
munication to the Indian Committees of the
Senate , and House of Representatives, in
forming them of the threatened difficulty,
and urging prompt action upon the pending
agreement. It is said at the War Depart
me.it that troops are now stationed at con
venient points near the reservation, and if it
is deemed necessary can be readily called into
service to keep off invaders and preserve the
peace. It is understood that a proclamation
will be issued if the invasion continues.
4'airago Socialists AgaiiiMt lite Chinese.
i Chicago, March lGth. — the speeches
last night at the Socialist Anti-Chinese meet
ing, Kearney was lauded to the skies by some
of the speakers. A. B. Adair declared that
the Chinese question < would be one of the
paramount issues of the coming year, and
there was no half-way about it. The Chinese
must go. That would be the effect -It had
been demonstrated in San Francisco that
white men could not live on what Chinamen
could; ' that a white | laborer had no ' show

| Decline of Auicricaa Trade Milk fhiiia.
New Yore, March 16th.— A Shanghai cor
respondent of the London Tinus writes, re
viewing the China market and the prospects
of trade, He says: Except in a season of
abnormal depression in America, it is un
likely, that the United States will be for
many a long day a serious competitor with
England in Asiatic or any other foreign mar
ket. The carrying trade of China tends to
pass more and more into English hands, and
in the immediate future it is likely that the
whole of the river navigation along the
Yangtse, between Shanghai and ether points,
will pass under the British flag. The Clyde
built iron river steamers, which replaced the
old American wooden ones, have proved dur
ing the last few years a great success. From
the ; Sting as well as river carrying' trade of
China, the American flag has departed, the
only American (steamers left being two or
three men-of-war that are too tiuseaworthy to
."til home. The German interest, both on
shore and at sea, steadily declines, and we
English are left to share the trade, » most
proiitable one at. times, with the Chinese. So
tar cs regards China, there is no lack of
energy or enterprise among our merchants.

Washington, March 16th. — Horace Davis
and Craoo, of . Massachusetts, -appeared be
fore the House Committee on Appropriation
to-day and urged early and favorable action
upon the measure introduced yesterday to
provide for the sending of a revenue steamer
to rescue the crews of the Vigilant and
Mount Wallaßten, the whaling vessels which
have been frozen up or wrecked in the Arctic
ocean. They suggested that the Rush, now I
at San Francisco, be employed for the pur
pose, as that vessel has already been in ser
vice in Alaskan waters, but were entirely
willing to leave the selection of a proper ves
sel to the Treasury Department, provided
one of the three now at or near San Fran
cisco be sent speedily. The committee
seemed to be very favorably impressed, and
will doubtless recommend that the desired
authority and an appropriation of £10,000 be
granted. ,
