Asin, ‘Tune fy considerable confusion about the Mrangement of yarlous branches of tho Government servicu at Washington which Is frequently the source of annoyance and in- Justice, For Instance, Gen.

The Burean of Stattstles and the Lighthouse Board, ns also, we believe, the Board of Health, are under tho direction of the Secre- tary of tho ‘Treasury, while the Census Du- rent, althoush it ts the most Important col- lector of staflstics, 1g 0 subordinate of the Interlor Department. ‘The Agticultural De- partment seems to be an Independent Instl- tution, not raised to tho dignity of a repre- sentation in the Cablnot, but at the same thie free from any supervision or as countabllity save as Congress may ex- erelsa Its authority; It has been sug- gested that a new department be organ- faed ant on new Seeretury added to the Cabinet, representing a new group of burenits under the name of Industry and Statistles, Such a department would nate trally Include the Bureaus of Agriculture, Statlsties, Census, Sign! Service, Const Sur- yey, nnd perhaps somo others. ‘The Interior Department fs tits made up of a variety of branches of the adininistrative service—gueh as the Indian Mureau, Land-Onive, Pensions, Patents, Rallronds, ete. But this depart inent fs already so crowded, and contains so mmany disjointed sections, that it might bet- ter bo relleved of part of its responsibilities than required to take on new ones, There is a standing objection to the creation of new departments In the Executive branch of the Government, for they Tend to now dlgnita- ries, additional patrounge, aud increased ox- pensea, But. itanust also be taken Into ae- count that there is economy in central re- sponsibility and the common adiministration of cognate Interests. ‘Che Department of Agriculture, standing alone and independ ent, hns long aspired to a Cabinet representa: tlon, but ft would cortatnly be wise to form a more compretienslye Departinent of Indus- try and Statistics, and make agriculture vn subordinate bureau thereof. ‘he propost- tion Is ikely to recelve some attention from Congress this winter. Gurrrau's attempt to prove hiniself of un- sound mind and thereby save hls neck from the gallows ought not to impose upon any intelligent person. ‘The evidence that he was mentally responsibio when he assast- nated the President is overwhelming. ‘The points against him are: 1. That he was able to plan the act. All his movements showed careful premedita- thon, He followed the President for weeks; several tlmes refrained from shooting hin for fear of Injuting bystanders or out of pity for his wife, and reasoned the matter out coherently, keeping his own counsel till the deed was done, 2. 'Thathe was able to appreciate the polit- fent and personal consequences of the act. He knew that Arthur would become Presl- dent, ‘There was no evidence of Insanity in his declaration to that effect. Ho knew also that the first result of the shooting would be to put himself in great bodily danger, and he provided for hig safety by engaging a enr- ringe beforehand to take him to jail as soon as he had fired the shot. All this was logical and coherent. Since the nssasiniation: 8, He now reallzes his danger, and cowers and shrinks when he passes through the crowds. in going to and returning from the court; and he shows his sound senso In so doing. 4, Ills attempt to shirk responsibility upon the Almighty Is another proof of his perfect sunity. If ho were really insane he: would glory In lis deed, and be unwilling to share the fame of it even with the Delty. 5, We have his own confessions to the po- Neeman that his antics in court were for a purpose, 6 None of these performances touch the real question of his ability to appreciate the consequences of his acts. Eecentricity is not a suficiont ground for acquittal in mur- idler cnses, Gulteau has as yet done nothing Insane in court or out of it, unless the mur- der of the Prestdent should beso considered ; and proof of insanity cannot be deduced solely from the enormity of nerime. It will not do to argue that every asgasin of a Prest- dent is prima fucte insane. FPOSTMASTER-GENERAL JAMES’ MENDATIONS. Postmaster-General Jamey, in his report, to be jatd before Congress at its meeting in December, furnishes the country with an Interesting statement of the postal affairs for the yenr ending Inst July. Thoroportindicates amost prosperous condition of affairs, which prosperlty hus been greatly Increased by the changes ant curtullment of expenditures made since Inst March, ‘Chose reductions of exponditures, this saying of what hag hitherto been wasteful fraud, will appear more con- spleuously In the report of the service for the present year, bexlnning in July. ‘Thore arecortain changes recommended by the Postmaster-General which will attract great attention from the public, and should be thoroughly discussed before ‘action. Ono of these fs In the matter of cheap postal or- ders for gums less than $5. at presenta postal order costs from five to 15 cents, no mntter what the amount of the order 1s, though tho highest Issued is, wa belleve, $50, ‘There are countless occasions when the amount to be remitted ts fess than $5, andthe feu for the order becomes coxtly, ‘Yhere has, therefore, been a great demand for years for a chenper form of postal order for sums under 85, ‘The Vostinaster-General commends w plan for securing this end to the public, Since the suspension and with: drawal of tho postal curreney the invon- venlenes of remitting small ‘sums, exe cept at a heavy rate, has become woneral, ‘Ihe plan proposed is that the post-oilice shall issue to the do- positor # postal order on which aro printed figures representing In the frst or dollar column from 1 to 4, and in the second or dine colmnn from} to 9 and in the third orcents column from 1 to 0, and the Post- anastor will punch from this order the figures representing the sum of money doposited, ‘This order is pnyuble te bearer at a des}gnated ollive, and Is ta be old at a feo of three cents, Itis to be sent at the ownor’s risk. ‘Thero is REOOM- no responsibility in case of the loss of the order, ‘Tho only objection to this Is perhaps in the fee, which might well be put at twocents, tho sender having also to purchase a Uiree- cent postage stamp and the Government being relieved of all responsibility for tho luss if any be sustained. ‘ha ordor will, however, be ot xreut convenience to the publle who wish to remit odd sums, or fractional paris ofa dollar, ‘The Postmnsator-General calls attention to tho enormous increase of the cost of railway transportation of the mails, the cost aggre- wating for the fiseal year of 1631 $11,411,120, wlillo the estiuimtes for the yenr 1883 are put down at $13,181,001, Thewelght of the mails transported on the trunk Ines hag become enormous and Ja alll on the increase. ‘This ho attributes in a largo extent to the law which amatses tho post-ofttcs a common care rier of merchandlsy, and tho rate ot trans vortatlon for this service ts not remuneras tlve, . ‘Lhe compensation recelyed by the Government for tho handling, transportation, and dellyery of this kind of quatter fy far bee Jow the cost,. ‘The profits on Iettor postage aro all consumed In meeting the tosses on second, third, and fourth class matter, [lo regards second cluss matter—newspapors and perlodicals—as fegithuate postal iuatter, ‘Third aud fourth class matter, belng tran- stent printed amatter and smerehaudise, he elaims come under a different character. Tle despairs of such matter becoming re- muneratlye, ‘The Postunstor-General does not propose an increase of the rates of postage with a view of making it more renmuierntive, but his romarks ail tend to the discontinuanes of the transportation of merchandise altoxethor Itis just this that the public will not con. sent to. ‘Ihe transportation of small pack- ages Is 0 erent public necessity, aut forwhieh thore fs no other xecommoadation than that furnished by the mails, ‘Che fmmetise bi ness dong by the express companics ts evl- dence of the Inimense demand for means of senting and recelving packages which. are unsuited to the ordinary freight transporta- tion on .the rallways. ‘These express com panics are tnitnited fn their rates, There 1s no competition In tha exe press business, tho eompanics apportion- ing among themselves the whole terri tory traversed by the railways, ‘and term uw strong combination for their own de- fense. Outside of the malls the monopoly would exaet a fee for the transpor- tatlon of the class of ganis which now pass through tho mails whieh would In the aggre- gate equal the value of the whole merehan- dis, On most of the routes, were there no mall transportation of suel: packages, the ex- press charges would confiscate the majority of the xvods In every rin of 290 miles, ‘The postal delivery of merchandise Is the only proteetion the people have agalnst excessive express charges, and, 3. the post-dillces ex- ecu the express stations, so, ifthe mails be closed to such matter, then more than half the people would be ent off from both mall and express rallway. transportation. If the cost of handling, recelving, and de- Jivery of third and fourth class matter ex- coud so greatly the revenue collected there- from, It is possible the rates of transporta- tion might be modified so ag to in some part equallze the receipts and expenditures for this service, but the country wilt pretty gens erally oppose and resist the abolition of that ser’ It hag become a great public neces- sity; for one-half the people there Is no pus- sible substitute for the service, and the only substitute which Is, avallublo to tho othor jul {stu hand the business over to the ex- press company, who will demand tho full valne of the property forwarded by them, and oven that will not satisfy thelr tariit. ‘The Postmaster-General takes a more fa- yorable view of the possibilitles of a redue- ton of letter postage than perhaps Is Justl- flavle, Io thinks that n reduction of letter postagefrom three tu two eents per letter: mity be accomplished within three years. In 1845 postage was reduced to five eonts per half-ounce letter for distances tess than 3,000 miles, In 185t postage was reduced to nuniform rate of three cents por half ounce, Al first there was a loss of revenue, but the service suon Became remunerative. ‘The Postinaster-Gencral, spenking of the prosent proposed reduetion, says: . Areduction of letter postage from threo to twa cents will be possible within threo years. [ bolleve this reduction cold be aceomplished without tho propurtlourte diminution of recelpts which followed the adoption of . threc-cont postage In 1851, ‘The people have Bhown thoir Nppreciation of chonp postage.

It is my deliberate ftdginent that two-cent post. age is fensitio in the nour future. f woutd fuvor it even If the rates of Poste on third and fourth class mutter had to be erensed, Tho great mass of tho peoptn are terested in cheap lettur-postage. Tho prope Hon of those benelited by tho unremuncritive rates on third and fourth cligs matter is com- parativoir small, Moreover, tho peaplo who ara nefited could afford to pay more Ilberally tor the advantages extended ta them, The bulk nnd welght of third and fourth cinas matter adds so largely to tho cust of transporting tho mails that all the protic rentizen Crom lotter- postage (Is thereby abgorbed, If these elusses of mat feontributed proportionately, two-cont postage would at once be assured, Jf the Government is to be a common carrier, onght It tobe com pelted to lose inoney thereby? Ought the many who are interested in cheap letter-postuge bo taxed forthe beneft of tho few who are con varie fae. low rutes on third and fourth class mutteri ‘Tho postal servica was intended for the public benefitand conyentenee, Ifnothing but letters were carried there would be nidoubt- edly a large profit, but the profitable part of the service should carry that which, no less Important to the country, is not profitable, ‘To carry nothing that dil not pay its own way would exclude covery Hne of printed matter; would exclude every book, paper, and pamphict from the mails, or require them to pay letter postage, A reduetion of lettor-postage to two cents would not recon- cilo the country to the exelusion of printed miitter from the mails, nor would an inercase of rates on printed matter to those of letter- postage bo tolerated. The thine will, how- ever, come when the loug distances. of this country vil be more thickly settled, and when the rites of rallway service will bo so reduced that the increase of mall matter, even nt the presont unremuneratiye rates, will enable printed matter, and even mer- chindlse, to cover the cost of transportation of such articles through the malls, In the Meantime the country will willingly stand the three cents postage on letters in order to have printed matter and the limited mor. chandise carrled for them at reasonable riteg, J “ ENGLAND AND THE PANAMA CAWAL. Ifthe British protest against tho position assumed by Secretary Binine In his recent, diplomatic note on tho Interacoantc canal shatl take nd more logien! form than the artl- cles on this dubject In the English Journals, than the controversy wlll not bo formidable, andl there will be no great trouble in sustain: Ing the Americnn case, ‘Pe Pall Mall Ga- zette adtuits that the International status of uiarithne communteations between sea ant sea Is altogether unsettled, but contends that the United States Government is estopped from nesuming on exclusive protectornte oyor the Isthmus Canal (1) on account of the Ctayton-Bulwer treaty with Great Dritatn, which was made in 1850 and contained a pare agraph In which both Governments agreed to extend their “ protection to any pructica- bie communication, whether by eanal or rall- way across the Isthmus whieh connects North and South America”; (2) by the ase sertion that: Colombla isn “very weal’ Power, and the {ntimation that It will not be able to defend the arrangement between itself and tho United States whereby the neutrality of the canal Is guaranteed, with a reservation of the right-to both the contract- ing parties “to pass Mrough the canal thetr ships of war, troops, and thaterlnls for war abate times” and (3) by the theory that such an arrangoment will be objected to by Mexi- coand the South American Powers not pare ties thereto, None of these reasons will stand the test of criticism, 1. As to the Bulwer-Clayton treaty of 1850, Its terms have been repeatedly violnted by tha Britlsh Government, and tha latter will hardly bo able to hold tha Amerlean Government to Just sich a construction-as It may seo fit to put upon the term “ protection * with reference to an luteroceantc canal when, It has not, hold itself bound to other terms of tho treaty about the Intent of which thera can be no question, Moreover, the railway which has for many years constituted the highway between tho Atlantic and Pacitle across the luthmus has been under the vx- ‘elusive and- undisputed protectlon of tho United States, There has never been any effort to secure a wilted guarnutes of nou- trallty over that highway by the Europenn Powers, and Great Britain has never sought tonssort any Indlyldual or Jolut rights, So faras International rlghts.are concerned, It makes no differened whether the highway of communication ts by rall or by canal, and the question of ownership cannot chinge the relative rhzhts and privileges of nations, ‘The Erte Railroad representa the investment of English enpltat, but the British Govern: nent world scarcely assume tho right to cons , trol that Institution under any elreumstances, 2 ‘The United States af Colombia Is not so weak or tuitmporfant a natton as the English evidently suppose itto be, Lb comprises an area of over 600,000 sqtare mites—ns large as Franee and Germany togethor—and ten years ago had a population of about 3,000,000, At consists of nlue States, the most impor tant of whleh ts Panna, comprising tho Isthmus of Darien. It Is welster Republic of the Ameriean continent, and has a diplo- inatle recognition from Great Britaln in the peraons of Envoys and Ministers represent ing thelr respective Governments, ‘hts Government of Colombia, by treaty In 1860, gave to tho United States an exclusive right ittany canal project across the Isthmus tn consideration of certaly advantages whieh it xalned.: ‘Lhe Cotombtan Government cer tilnly had tho power to enter Into such an agreement, and the United States Govern- ment has the power to enfereo It If the former shall be either too werk or too treacherous to defend the treaty, 3. ‘The tntimation that the other South Amerlean Governments and the Republic ot Mesivo will abject to the understanding ve- tween Colombia and the United States fs not founded In good Judginent. It ts to the come mon lnterest of all Governments on the Amer. ican continent to resist auy further eneroach- ment of European Governments upon Amer, Jean territory or Aimerican privileges. ‘Tho United States Government is naturally lovked to as the tlefonder of this prluciple of non-interference of European Powers, ‘There is no apprehension of unfair encroachments from the Government of the United States, and no jealousy of the latter's increasing imn- ‘portanee, Any reckoning upon tho sympa- thy or cofperation of the smalier American Governments in ease tho European lowers make wt nggressiye effort to assume a pro- tectorate over-tho Isthinus Canal will, there= fore, result in disappointment, and nelther the English journals nor tho English states- mon should fall Into so palpable an error. Fairty stated, the case is simply this: Tho Aterlean Government has muds no effort and hay no desire to Interfero with the neu- trallty, the control, or the management of the Sttez Canal, It does not undertake to determine whether the guarantey of neu- trality of that highway shall be made by En- ginnd along or the combined European Powers, It has no fnterest and takes no concern in that enterprise, and would not uastune any special Nutions! privileges If tho stock in the Suez Canal Company were owned entirely by American expitalists, ‘Che American Government shnply demands that the European Powers shatt pursue the samo polley of. non-interference {n the ease of tho Amerlean Interoceanic canal, ‘The demand is entively consistent and reasonable, and in tho end will be conceded’ by Engiand and all other Enropean nations. THE AUTHORSHIP OF THE IRISH LAND BILL. A rether singular discussion has broken out in Great Britain and Ireland os to tho authorship of the Land bill, Mr. Chamber. Iain, a Rattionl Cabinet officer (President of the Board of Trade), declaring, a8 if he were the mouthpiece of tho Ministry, ithat the bill is the offspring of the Land League, agreeing with Parnell on thls point, aul Mr. Glade stone, the real and only mouthpiece of tho Government, while declining to discuss tho question directly, declaring that the Govern- mnt had made no such avowal. ; in his speech at Knowsley, Mr. Gladstone sald: “It was my duty on tho part of the Government to introduce tha Land act, and in doing so I said expressly, In the mast for- mal manner, that what Pariiament had todo was to look, not at the agitation provalling in Ireland or the demands put forward by Par; nell and others under cover of that ugituton, but at the actual retations of landlord and tenant in the sister isle,” ete. ‘The above Isa signitiennt distinction, and though not allirming the real authorship correctly, states the origin and olementary phases of the bill, and Mr. Gladstone, hadho been so disposed, might have gone still further and declared with truth that without tho Liberals, or even without Ihnself, there would have been no Irish Land bill passed, Mr. Gladstone’s record has been clenr, in 1809 he was Premfer, having defeated Dis- racli, In 1870 he introduced a land bill, and inn powerful defense of Ital: " Having witnessed tho disorder and diMleulty which have arisen from thls long procrastination, we shall resolve In mind and heart, by a manful effort, to close gnd seal up forever, ir it may be, this great question, which so Intiuintely concerns the welfare and happl- ness of the people of Ireland.” It was not tobe, It was opposed by the Irlsh Liberal Imembers themselves and loaded down with hostile 'fory amendinents, whieh made it practically inoperative so far ny tenauts wersconcerned. Evictions Increased, and tho tenants were still In tho grasp of the ra- paclous Iandords, Every year since that {ime land bills have been introduced and defeated by the ‘Tories, until Mr, Gladstone cume Into power again, & year or more ago, The Land Leagug had already commenced its agitation, Mr, Parnell had traveled over the Island and the’ United States seoking moral sympathy and pecuntary assistance for Is seheme of amelioration, But his scheme was hot so Iboral in Itsconcesstons to the ten- ant ag the bil which Mr. Gladstone subse- quently introduced, Ile never expected to gain so mitch os Gladstone gave him, ‘The Irjsh people neyor hoped for so liberal a bil, ‘Tho landlords neyor dreamed so much would bo ylelded. Mr, Gindstone In 1880, 43 In 1870, witnessed “*the dlsorderand diftoulty”? and appreciated nnd realized the grievances as they wero set forth by tho Land League, Und It not been for tho fierce agitation of the Land Longue so radleal n bill would not have been fntro- ducgtl; but 1t Is equally true that had it not beon for Me. Gladstone, no, bill would have been Introduced, and it {s still truer that had not the Land League been checked in its vio- Jout agitation the bill nover would have been passed, ‘The Land League provoked the people to nels of lawless violence and diy order while the bill was pending, ‘Then fol- Jowed the Coercion blil to restore ordor and suppress agrarian outrages, for the situation, was rapidly approaching the alternative be- tween law and chaos, It then becnme a struggle on the one hand for law, represent- ed by tho Governinent, on the othor for tho right to crash out individual lberty, repre- sented by tha Land Leagus, In his Knows- lay speceh Mr, GIndstono thus clearly du fined the situation: Wo bellove wo uro at lasuo with an prifaniao attempt to override tho free will aud judgmens of the Irish nut The question presvated to ua is woothor Ireland ja to be governed under Jawa made by 4 free and chosen Parllament or whether tt {6 tu be goyerved woder laws known to nobody, written nowhere exvopt (a (uo brainy of 4 few judividuats, aud enforced by an illegal, arbitrary, ‘solf-appointed association.

Kasson, late Minister to Ause trin auc mentber-elect: to the Farty-soventh Congress, makes an lnportant: contribution to the discusston of the Mourot doctrine In the December number of tha North Amert- can Review. Mr. Kasson has the candor to adintt that the doctrine fn question tins been modified In essential particulars slace It was first announced by President Monroe. It meant orlginally that no European Power should establish colonies, us of thelr own right, within the territories of any de facto Independent States of America, and that mMonnrehical ingtituttons should not be tne trottuced by forte, exerted under the anthor- ity of a forelgn Government, in any Amerl- cnn territory, Tho Monroe doctrine now means much more thin this, It has assumed a now signifleance since it was promul- gated, President Polk, In December, 1845, after approving the Munroe declaration, salt that it should be distinctly announced to the world us our settled. polley that “ no future European colony or doniinion shall, with our cousent, be planted or established on any part of the Ameriean continent.” This an- nouncetnent has since been made in effect, if not in form. But ft ts a matorint modification and extension of the original Monrov dvetrine, whieh did not deny the rightof foreign Powers to acquire domin- fon in Atmeriea by treaty or: purelinse. ‘Tho revised doctrine of 1845 did muke such a de- nial, and It has been so cordially approved by every Government and the whole people since that in the minds of the masses {¢ las been generally substituted for the original “doctrine” of Presitent Monroe, ‘The advisers of Mr, Monrac, among whom were Mr. Jefferson and Mr, Adans, favored the taking of the broadest grounds In tue statement of the Amerfean policy. ‘The President was restrained by considerations of prudence and his naturaily cautious tem- perament from sodoing, But the polley of Jeiferson and Adams beeame that of tho Government In fact, if not tn the ilstory of diplomacy, in 1824, and the progross thnt has sinco been noted has been in the direction of making the deelaratfons, of tha Government more emphatic and the feelings of the peo- plo of the United States more widely known, dt is no longer hmportant what tho Monroe declaration, as distinguished from the Mon- row doctrine, originally was; but it Is of highest moment what the Amer- feun = peoplo = think «when = they = In- sist that the principles of that doctrine, mocdt- fled by thine, shall be enforced, In the early Inngunge of diplomncy ft was stated that tho United States “would not view with indif- ference” any of the sneronchmnents con- templated. Itis tobe noticed that the wantofl “tndlference” on the part of the United States to any European aggressions in America fg much more important now than it was thon, ‘Tho extenslog of the doctrine ane the development of tha Nation that pro- poses to onforce It have kept pace together, or, if there has been an unequal growth, the advantage has been on the side of the power tonmke good any afirmations of policy that have been or may be put on record, Mr. Kasson tg evidently prepared to take tho highest grounds with reference to Amer- lean rights In the Panama Canal, ‘Thoughhe had not apparently seon Mr, Binino’s identical note on the subject before writing this re- view article, ho would dissent from none of its conclusions. Amerlean public opinion has, in fact, supported Mr. Binine’s position {na most remarkable manner, Without dis- tinction of party every newspaper and speaker who has referred to tho mutter has com- monded the course of the Secretary of State, His felicitous deserlption of the canal as “part of our coast Hue” has been adjuaged n proper sumining-rp of the whole subject. ‘The notlee which he has eaused to be given to forelgn Powers that the United States wilt deem any guarantee of neutrality but Ite own “an unfriendly net’ has had every mark of public approval save 0 formal voto of Congress, which will not be wantlug when tho propgr thue shall come, In short, the Atmerican people are resolyed that the eanal shalt notbe used to abridgo the natural de- fenses of the United States, In time of war, it myst be closed.to the war vessels of all’ foreign Powers as against the United States, European capltat may build it, but European Lowers shall not so rendily obtain 1 political foothold on the Amoricnn continent.
