It fs stated at the Post-Oftice Departuient: that not one sin- gle complaint has been revel . from any quarter affected by these redutetions that any necessary postal service or convenience lias been taken away. ‘The Congressien” who were deseribed by Gen. Brady ws besieging bho with finportunes tor the “ Inerease ” and “expedition? of postal service in thetr Tespcetive distrets and States have, not this far besleged or tmportuned Gen.

While the Bour- bon newspapers in Virginia are trying to make the people belleve that the aitti- Bourbons are doomed to overwhelming de tent, It fs learned from the very best author- ity that the Bourbon leaders have made over- tures aud are trying to effect aseeret atitance with the leaders of the Republican organtza- tlon tn Virginia. It ts understood that the Bourbons are willing to elect Gen, Wlekham, a Republican, to the Senate of the United States ns the: price of a Republican alliance and to defeat the wnti-Bourbons, It is reported also, on very goud authority, that the movement Ju favor of a straight-out” Republican Ueket in Virginia iy prompted mutnly by Republicans who desire an. altl- ance with the Bourbons, und by the Bour- bons themselves, Whether or not this be trae, there can be little doubt that the result ofa “stralghtout” Republican ticket will be the triuuph of tie Bourbons, provided tt shall recelve the support of even one-third of the Republican votors of the State.
