THE POSTAL 0ONVENTION AND ITS
RESULTS.
The recent Postal Convention at Old
Point Comfort promises results of great
importance to this section of the coun
try in the realization of which our peo
ple are all deeply concerned, and which
they can materially aid in bringing
about. The inefficiency of the postal
service in the South has been a source
of universal complaint ever since the
I war, but we question if there were
many men who were oognizant of the
immense advantages enjoyed by the
people of the Northern and Eastern
States over those of the South in
this respect, until they were told of it
in the address of Mr. Hubbard, the
chairman of the Postal Commission, to
the Postal Convention that has just ad
journed. We cannot better convey an
idea of the relative disadvantages under
which we of the South have labored, as
compared with the mail facilities af
forded other sections of the country,
than by quoting the following state.
ment from a letter, written by the edi
tor of this paper, who was one of the
delegates to the convention, that was
published in our Friday's paper:
During the last few years the postal service
in the North has been constantly improved
quickened and extended, and while the mail
facilities of the whole country have been in
creased upward of 80 per cent in fourteen
years, those of the South have been actually
decreased nearly S0 per cent. For the star
service (that is all mail transportation except
on railroads), the total exnonditure in the
South is, at this time much lese than it was in
1861, while for the whole country it is 50 per
cent morr.
The Administration is evidently
earnest in its determination to amend
this wrong, and to afford the South the
same rapid, complete and efficient
postal service that is enjoyed by other
sections of the country, and it was to
. advance this object that this convention
was called. It was thought that the
government could proceed more Intelli
gently in the accomplishment of this
purpose after hearing the views and
suggestions of intelligent men of the
South, as to how the present miserably
inefficient system could be corrected
and better facilities supplied. &
The convention was very latgely at
tended, and was composed of full dele
gations from all the Southern cities,
and we doubt not that the Postal Com
mission was given all necessary infor
mation in relation to the wants of the
whole country. Before adjourning a
memorial to Congress was adopted, in
4-whih more effeatual and extended mail
J: slities throughout the whole South
were demanded, and also the establish
ment of mail lines on some substantial
basis by steam vessels between the
South and Central American States and
S outhern ports. This seems to compre
bhend the whole subject. Yet in these
two propositions are involved results
whose magnitude and beneficence to
the South can scarcely be computed.
The importance to this city of better
postal communication with the interior
cannot be over-estimated. Under the
existing regulations St. Louis has regu
- ar and rapid communication with
era Texas and Northwestern Lou
which gives her an immense ad
vantage In oentrolling the valuable
trade of those regions over New Orleans,
which is almost entirely out off from all
mail intercourse with them. It is to
rectify these disadvantages that this
convention was called, and it is the
duty, and to the interest, of every com
munity in the South to aid the Postofllice
Department in carrying out this object.
It will be seen that the Postal Com
mission has appointed sub-committees
in all the Southern States to gather in
formation from every locality in the
South, make suggestions for the correc
tion of present mail routes and the
establishment of new ones, and point
out abuses and suggest improvements
in the service. This information and
these suggestions must come from all
sections of the country, and must Le
supplied by individuals who have a
personal knowledge of the evils that
are to be corrected. From this it will
appear that the people can afford very
material aid to the commission.
The second branch of the memorial
relating to the establishment of regular
mail lines between the Southern cities,
and specially New Orleans, and the
South and Central American ports, looks
to even vaster and more comprehensive
results. We publish this morning a
very able letter from Mr. W. M. Burwell
to the Hon. Chas. E. Fenner in relation
to this subject, in which he sets forth
with great clearness the benefits that
would accrue to this city from the
establishment of regular and rapid in
tercourse with those States, as well as
the advantages we possess over other
ports in facilitating mall communica
tion with them. Upon these subjects
his arguments appear to us exhaustive
and unanswerable, and we refer our
readers to his letter without recapitula
ting its contents.
This trade was formerly controlled
entirely by New Orleans, but during the
war, and by reason of it, it sought other
ports. It is our duty to recover it again,
and in the effort to do so we should re
ceive the sympathy and aid of all the
Western States as well as the Southern.
It is not necessary to prove by statistics
its value. Since the world began the
trade of the tropics has enriched the
nations that controlled it. Ormus and
the Ind have not thrown more treasures
into the lap of commerce than have
the "golden South Americas." Now,
this trade, as does all that crosses
the Equator, seeks Baltimore, for the
reason that there is found the great
medium of exchange, the Richmond
wheat. It is generally believed that
this wheat furnishes the only flour
known in the market that will bear
transportation across the Equator. As
the United States supplies nearly all of
the breadstuffs of these countries, in
exchange for their products, the ability
to furnish a flour that will bear the voy
age must have a material effect upon
our efforts to compete for this trade. It
has long been an accepted fact that
Western flour would not do so.
But even if this be true it is positively
asberted that we can supply a flour that
will answer all the requirements of this
trade, and that from a region as yet
undeveloped and of which this is the
nearest and natural market, and in
direct communication with which we
will be placed by the completion of the
New Orleans Pacific road. It is claimed
that the wheat grown on the "Red
lands" of Texas will bear this shipment
equally as well as the Richmond wheat.
If this be true we have a medium of
exchange for the coffee and other
products of these regions at our doors,
which dispenses in the most important
particular with Mr. Burwell's conclu
sive argument of "continuous service."
This is a subject to which too much
consideration cannot be given, and we
trust that Congress will take hold of
the matter, even should the Postal
Commission decline to commend it as
outside of their functions.
THE SUPREME COURT ON MUNICIPAL
SECURITIES.
At the late session of the Supreme
Court at Monroe an important decision
was rendered affecting the validity of
bonds issued by municipal corporations.
The case arose in a suit of Wilson vs.
City of Shreveport, to enforce the pay
ment of some one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars of bonds issued by the
city in payment of certain property pur
chased by it for a depot of the Texas
Pacific Road. The city pleaded the act
of 1855, which forbids corporations from
issuing bonds without providing in the
ordinance authorizing their issue for the
payment of interest and principal, and
asked that the said issue be declared
illegal and fraudulent. The plaintiff
rested his case on the authority of a
decision of the late Supreme Court,
based on a decision of the old Supreme
Court n ade anterior to the passage of
the act of 1855, whereby the obligations
of a corporation on promissory notes
given in the purchase of property for
corporation uses were enforced.
But in the present case our Supreme
Court overrule these decisions and give
full effect to the statute of 1855, de
claring the bonds of Shreveport issued,
as set forth, illegal and void.
This illegality attaches in whatever
hands the bonds may happen to be, the
plea of innocent holders not being re
cognized as applicable to bonds issued
under the laws of a State or ordinances
of a corporation.
This decision is important. It places
beyond all doubt the law of this State
relative to municipal obligations to be
that, whenever and for whatever pux
pose issued, without provision for the
payment of principal and interest, and
by whomsoever held, they are 'llegal
and void.
It is difficult to determine to what
olass of obligations issued by this city
since 1865 this decision will not apply,
except the Premium Bonds, which have
the adtiority of an act of the Legisla
ture that has not been declared uncon
stitutional. That act assumes to sup
plant and supersede all other bonds,
except the consolidated bonds, and the
holders of these refuse to convert the
same into Premiums. What, then, is
to be done with the consolidated bonds,
is still the puzzle which confounds
courts, lawyers and municipal finan
ciers. The City Administrators are
struggling to compel the old consoli
dated bondholders to go into Premiums
on a level with all the rest.
But they object and have a case in
court, to have all other bonds declared
void, as issued in violation of the act of
1855, which they affirm was passed to
protect and enforce their contract. And
Dr. Tebault, and the Property Holders'
Union, take sides with them, not out of
any special regard for or interest in the
consolidated bonds, but to reduce the
city's bonded indebtedness to the
amount of that issue which does not ex
ceed $4,000,000; and, now, this issue is
with the courts, and we leave it to them
to determine the same. It is a vexatious
and embarrassing issue for outsiders to
consider and decide. On the one hand
we have the attractive consideration of
reducing the city's indebtedness to one.
half of its present liabilities; on the
other hand, we have to confront the re
proach and odium of repudiati rn, which
would be humiliating and embarrassing
for a great commercial city like this to
incur. Bo we very cheerfully remit the
whole subject to the solution of the
learned pundits of the law.
THAT LOG FOLLY.
We notice refer. noes to a new cam
paign which has been planned b,`Mr.
Carter, the agent of the Land Office at
Washington, against the log rollers in
the Pearl river region. It is stated that
the United States Marshal has dis
patched, or is about to dispatch, depu
ties to that region to arrest parties
engaged in cutting timber on the public
lands, and to reproduce the scenes which
had been enacted on the Calcasieu
whree the government has given such
great annoyance to a large class of poor
industrial people whose subsistence de
pended upon the prosecution of the
lumber business. The 'evil of these
prosecutions has been shown in the Cal
oasieu case, and results from the impos
sibility of the defendants, whose prop
erty is seized upon a mere affidavit of a
government agent, obtaining any relief
in case timber cut from private lands is
mixed up with that which is traceable to
public lands.
Then, too, the government has not
given sufficient notice or taken steps to
apprise people of the lands owned by it,
so as to put them on their guard and
prevent their giving their labor to the
cutting and preparing logs for the mills;
while its agents stand idly by waiting
until the logs are cut and made market
able when they are pounced on with se
questrations and seizures which have
an aspect of ,oppression, jobbing and
speculation wherein the parties in inter
est are generally government oftloials.
It occurs to us that if this lumber on
wild 'Rinds is so valuable, it would be
better for the government to have
agents to guard and keep it from dep
redation and appropriation to private
uses, to warn off all intruders and depre
dators, than to leave it in its original
state, without marks or any sort of des
ignationas government property. This
would be a wise and more effective mode
of protecting the government property
and interest and less harsh and oppres
sive than such proceedings as are now
being carried on in Calcasieu by virtue
of the orders of a court which holds its
sessions in Hartford, Conn.
The defeat of the Russians at Plevna,
which is considerably in the rear of the
main body that has crossed the Bal
kans, has a very serious aspect. It
looks as if old Abdul Kerim's strategy
was not so stupid a one as the Sultan
and his panic-stricken ministers re
garded it. When they complained of
his failure to prevent the Russians
crossing the Danube, Abdul replied that
besides the impossibility of his doing
so, it was better to let them pass, and
advance towards and even over the
Balkans, and he would then have
them in a cul-de-sac, would fall upon
their flanks and rear, in the meantime
holding large armies in the fortified
towns of the quadrilateral for these
operations. The affair at Plevna would
appear to be the first important result
of the development of this strategy. If,
followed up by other blows of a like
character, old Kerim's vaunting pledge
to suffer no Russian to recross the Dan
ube alive, will not appear to ba so ex
travagantly boastful as when it was
first uttered. If such large forces
as were engaged at Plerna are
cut up in the style ia which
they were in that engagement, the
advance column moving towards
Adrianople will be left without support.
It is, however, characteristic of the
Russians that they can stand defeats
and hold together in retreat, and wear
and bear longer every kind of disaster
than any other soldiery in the old world.
It looks, however, very much as if they
had undertaken a job which will severe
ly tax their military virtues in their
advance towards C estantlnople.
We had the pleasure of greeting Judge
Marr, on hiE return from Monroe after
serving in a long and laborious session
of our Supreme Court in that village.
Judge Mares condition speaks well for
the healthfulness and hospitality of
Monroe. Despite his severe labors and
the intense heat, the Judge has not
looked so well for many years.
The Supreme Court, in its session at
Monroe, decided over eighty cases.
They were all country cases except those
relating to the bonds presented to the
Funding Board.
Col. Dill, so well known to all news
paper people in this city, formerly
of the Times and 1'icayXule, and now
of that excellent paper, the ,hmrrnal
of C(ommerrce of Charleston, is in
our city, and is warmly welcomed
by all his old friends. Col. Dill is
enjoying a short respite from his
severe labors, and is, we are happy to
perceive, in good health.
