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. Sanders, Cal., March 13, 1880. Sax Francisco Mori Market.— demand for money continues very quiet.

[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 vaiiun. 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.

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. TVcstirard-Boßud Puseaxer*.
