TUCKER'S REPLY TO WHEELER—DBFENSH OF TREAS CENSORSUIF. Spectal Dirpateh to The Tribune. Wasmmoton, D, C, Oct. 2, —Willlam A. ‘Whocler, Republican candidato for Viee-Presl- dent of the United 8tates, In a rccent speech, sponks of having *leard defended tho rigut of 8 Virginia Justice of the Peacs to dotaln and open the malla of the United Btates.”” Mr. J, Randolph Tucker, known in his district as “Ran," Is tho person who made tha spiech to ‘which Mr, Wheolor refera. Mr, Tucker has re- contly adidressed a letter to Mr, Marcellus Em- ery, of Muine, in which ho states that no such law ever was passed In Virginia, no such oplofon was defended, and that he himacll made no such speech fu the Iouse of Ropresontatives. Mr. Tucker's letter s a quibble. He did make a spocch which meant that tho 8tato of Vircinla had the right to refusc the delivery of any mall- matter within It borders which a Justice of the Peace might deein objectlonable. Mr, Tuck- er {n his eard says: *You wlll please noto that our law does not authorlzo our Justices to enter a post-ofiice, or disturb any mall matter, or in- terrupt the madl, It leaves the whelo matter to the Postmnster. Tucker also says In defluition of his confes- slon, *“that tho law made it a duty of tho Post- wmaster, il e know of such mall-mnatter {n bis offlee, tu_give notico of it to the Juatlee,” ete. The Justlco ucted under tha abova notice from the Postmaster, 1Iccould not enter or kuow of the matter unless the United States Post- master informed ki, And in definition of what matter the Justice might order to be_witbheld from distribution, suppressed, burned, or conflseated, after ho ob- talned knowledgo that such matter was {n tho mall, Tucker says _"A‘mln, 1t only applies to writing which liieltos Insurrection” by slaves, P-; lm;r': discussing slavery wero nover Interfered with. It will not be difficult to show that Mr. Tncker misstates his own record, and scoks to contro- vert the facts of history ‘with regard to_mall- matter which was actually suppreesed by South- crn Domocratic Postmasters (n ante-bellum days, Mr. Tucker was driven to this unfortu~ nnte confeasion in tha course of aheated contro- versy between Mr, Blalng and himsell on April 17,1870, There had been a little bitterncss In a tolloquy between Mr, Tucker and Mr. Blalne, in the courso of which tholatter sald: ‘1 thank God { am not a lawyer (ke thogentioman Nimeelf, who, ns Attornoy-General of tho State of Virglnia, gave an oplnfon that the local au- thoritica of that State_might fnvade tho post~ oftice and compel the Postmaster to give up the contents of the nafl.

TINS 18 TIE HECONLD of this collnnu}' na it uPpcm verbatim with the omisslon of a little billlngsgate in the Congres- sfonal Jtecord, Mr. Williamn A, Wheeler waa not, therefore, very far wrong when hu said that ho had lieare defended the vight of a Virginin Justice to de- tain and open the malls of tho United States, Randulph Tucker's denfal oa to the charneter of the mull-matter which was Interfored with in the ante-belum days, and to which his own opin- fon us Attorney-General of Virginls related, can Yo na easily refuted.

In 1800, at tho termina- tion of the perlod of Democratie administra- tion, thera were acventy-nine non-paying por ta In 1876 there were but fifty-six non- paying ports, notwithatanding the busi- ness of tho country, and _ tho demands for addittonal por's of eniry had greatly increased.
