THE POSTMASTER-GENERAL'S VIZWS. Wasntxaros, D. C., March 7.~In compliance with & resolation of the Senate, the Postmaster- General transmitted to the Vice-President to- day a statemeut sbowing the cost of transport- ing the mails, he amount psid wailroads for postal mail-cars, toe number and cost of postal clerks and agents; and whether, without injury to the interests of tho communities, the postal service could not be abandoned jor soma othier and more cfficient mode of transporting mails over the lincs betweon Washington and New York, and New York acd Boston, and others. From the sbowing made by the Pcstmaster-Geon- ersl, it appears that the total aunusl costof oail SEREICE BETWEEN WASHINGTON AND NEW YORE, supposing tho weights of mails to bo the £ame 88 iu March, 1878, is 2147,000, inc’usive of €42,- 600 for clerks and agents. The compensation demanded by railroad companies for the trans- portation of mails and railway Post-Offics cars, is 13 nalls per lineal foot of car or portion of car per mile rup, taking the epaco now uxed for this service beuween here iud New Yoris as the base, the cost to_the Goverument. if the demands of tho reitroads were complied , would smount to 8161,633 wore per auutm than by the present system. FETWEEN NEW YORK ASD BOSTON tho total cost of tbe railway pos:sl service is €167.278, including the cost of railway postal clerks and sgents, which is astimatod at 246,040, Calculating upon the samo ba-is ax above, it is shown thst the cost to the Qovernment by a change from the presout svatem, 2nd a conces- sion of the demand of the 1silroads, the cost of the mail service betveen New Yok and Boston would ve incressod to 8303,000, or S78,765 in ex- cess of the amount Bow paid. The Postmaster General snswers that there could be 0o inciesse in the FREQUENCY OF THE SERVICE, and shows, by =n accompanymng exhibit, that every avaiinblo train is now mado ure of, except- ing those probibited by the 1a.lroad compauies themselves, providing {he intorval between tho eeveral departuraa is suliicisnt to sllow an acen- mu'ation of mail that will wacraut a dirpa:ch, Thus the Post-Oftices at the more impotraut manafacturing aud commercial centres exchange by direct pouches with each other, sad with the adjacent lown and city Post-Oflices at frequent iutervals, not depending entirely upou the raile way Post-Offices. Thero exchanges are caiab- liched in all csses where the interests of the commuuity demand it, Lut to extend THE SYSTEM OF EXCHANGE by direct pouches to all post-offices in the United Ststes, regardlcss of their suze, Tevenue, or imvortance, is impsacticabla for varions ob- vioms ressone, If tho railwey post-office eystem a5 nbandoned, it would be nacessery Lo sciect certain post-offices at the termini and junctions of ruilcoads, for distribating Josioicos, be- tween which the ofices would exchange with cach otber and with theso dwtributing oflices, souding to them all mail for points beyond. ADVANTAGES OF THR POSTAL-CAB SYSTEA, Any deciease of expense by takiog of the railay post-ofice cars would be more than compensated by the increased mum- ber of ponches msde mecessaery by the system of direct pouchi The weight of meils wonld be greatly increased, 1aking the compensasion to railroads lerger, be uida imposing much additioual cost upon tae De- partment for the purchase of stch pouches.
