MEETING OF THR CLOTHIERS AT THE CITY HaLL.—Last evening a number of tae clo- thiers of this city assembled in the chamber of the Aldermen, in the City Hall, to eounsel to- gether for the purpose of securing a revoca- tion of General Order, No. 4, issued by Colonel Ingraham, by order of Colonel Wisewell, mili- tary governor, “prohibiting the sale of cloth. ing to any enlisted man upon discharge pi pers that he may present, until sard papers have been examined, and a epecial permit obtained from these headquarters. “Any violation or evasien of this order will be promptly and severely punished, and the offenders eubjected to the full penalty attached to the disobedience of this and other existing orders relating thereto.” ones H. King, Jr., called the assemblage to Mr. Ellis Lyons was elected chairman. Mr. Jacob Shemhoff, vice ndent; Mr. M. J. Waldhe: ; Secretary; . M. Hambarger, treasurer. . On motion of Mr. King it was resolved that the organization should be permanent. On motion of Mr. Sol. Hebel, it was resolved that a committee of five should be appointed to draft resolutions expressive of the sense of the meeting upon the subject to consider which they had convened. he chair appointed as said committee Messrs. H. King, jr. Moses Hamburger, G. C. Henning, A. Heilbrun, and Nathan Gross- mayer. x. Groesmayer declined, and the meeting substituted the chairman, Mr. Lyons, andmade him chairman of the committee. The committee were instructed to report at asubsequent meeting. The Chairman then read a letter whish he had prepared, addressed to Col. Ingraham, in substance as follows: Having referred to the Order No. 4, he said he wowld not depy the necessity of using all legitimate means to prevent desertion. But he would find that not one dealer in ten would take the trouble to get the permission to sell. He would, therefore, suggest that all the dealers should be required to endorse on eve! discharge held by asoldier to whom they sol the amonnt and character of the sales, and that all should be prohibited from selling citizens’ clothes to any person holding a discharge so endoreed, Mr. King stated that he had waited on Col. Ingraham, and had been informed by him that he (the Colonel) could net modify the order, but must carry it out, and would putin the Old Capitol every one who would violatg it. Mr. Weiser said several gentlemen who had been at the Provost Marshal’s to consult about this matter had been ordered to leave, very unceremoniously. Mr. Grossmayer said he had been well treat- ed at the Prevost Marshal’s office. He believed, too, that there were good grounds for some re- strictions upon the sale of clothing in this city, under existing circumstances, and in view of Wrong- doing on the part of some of the dealers. He thought the difficulty could be settled with the Secretary of War or some of the military authorities. On motion of Mr. Henning, it was recolved, that all the dealers present should contribute one dollar each to defray the expenses of the meeting. The treasurer proceeded to collect the money, and reported as the result the sum of twenty-five dollars. The president and secretary were instructed to calla meeting of the association on Tuesday evening next, and to publish the notice in the Chronicle and the Star. Asbury Lloyd, Esq., having entered the room, the president suggested that the meeting would like to hear from him, which suggestion the meeting approved by unanimously calling upon Mr. Lloyd. ir. Lloyd said he went with Mr. King, and bad the pleasure of retro J the Military Gov- ernor. ‘he speaker stated to the Governor, both in his protessional capecity and as a citi- zen, in behalf of the gentlemen interested in this meeting, and of the citizens of Washington generally, that he believed the order calculated to do injustice. He called the attention of the Governor to the tact that many persons in this city were making money, who were allowed to do business here without contributing to the revenue of the Government or paying a license to the city of Washington. Col. Wisewell said every merchant had a Tight to sell to discharged soldiers, but if the discharges proved to be spurious, the sellers o clothing to them must take the consequences of @ violation of Order No. 4. If such sales Were made to men having spurions dis- charges, the sellers would be put in the Old tol. ‘he speaker teld Col. W. that a meeting of those specially interested in this matter would probably be held, and he would probably be waited upon by a committee from said meeting; that he regarded the order as working a great hardship upon many honest dealers, and that he believed the Mayor was of the same opinion. Mr. Lloyd concluded by remarking that he and Mr. King had been very courteously re- ceived, and, throughout the interview, kindly treated by Col. Wisewell. Mr. King suggested that he had since seen the Provost Marshal, and that gentleman had said that the dealers must not sell to any sol- dier upon any discharge. Mr. Lloyd said that statement, if correct, proved that there was @ conflict of ucder- standing between the Military Governor and the Provost Marshal. He would suggest that @ committee should be appointed to wait upon the Military Governor, and respectfally re- quest a revocation of Order No. 4. Mr. Gasenheimer said, if there were any forged discharges the tforgers of them should unished. The clothing-dealers should not suffer. The chairman made a few remarks, in which he insisted that the order prohibiting any sales to discharged soldiers without special permits, and any violation of it, would certainly be punished by imprisonment. He regarded the order as an outrage upon their rights as Amer- ican citizens, and a violation of the Constitu- tion. He thought it must be the result of pre- judice among the clerks of the Provost Mar- shal, and of unjust statements on their part, perhaps prompted by their not being able to c credit among some of the dealers. Oolonel ngraham was unquestionably an honorable gentleman. If the order was to continue in force, they might as well shut up all theirstores. When Order No.3 had been issued, the clothing deal- ers had submitted readily; but now it wastheir duty manfully to assert their rights. 1f the; did not, their business would be destroyed. They were all supporters of the Goverament, and be ho} they always would be. Though not half of the dealers in clothing were pres- ent, he believed those there id $20,000 in taxes to the Government, and they had a right to be heard, and to have this grievance re- dressed. As the matter stood, they were all Mable to be arrested by detectives with dis- charge papers in soldiers’ clothes. He thanked God they were under the stars and stripes,and believed they would be protected, if they were manly and true to themselves.

The preparations are now in such a state of forwardvess as to permit the begining of the Work on the through line between this city and Washington next Monday night. Two of the new cars will start at that time—one trom this city and one from Washington. The necessa- ry experiments have al: ly been made. The Postmaster General has jong had the Subject before him of introducing ratiwa: it offices on the principal roads in the United States, and cars are now running on route—that between Chicago and Clinton. the application of the system here, with improved cars, arrangements adequate to the of the smmernee postal business of the Atlantic States, required more time; and the general Kati aioe of the railroad companies (an e¢s- sential condition, as the Department no means of constructing the new cars that are needed,) had to be secured. Most of the obsta- cles haye been removed; the necessity of adopt- ing the improved system appears to be ac- knowledged; the Camden an: Amboy and the are Baltimore and Ohio railroad companies constructing cars; the Erie Company has also begun the work; and some of the man: of the four companies which comprise the Boston, line Rave partially agreed undertake it, Other companies will doubtless enter into the Qrrangement ; but nothing will now prevent the oniplete success of the plan. The rail- way post office system be co. j= fees ae iy’ may sidered es: ‘THE WASHINGTON LIn B. The cars which starton Monday night haye already been alluded t». They contain three or four hundred pigeon holes each for tal matter, with every convenience for the ait - bution of the mails. The force required for the work on each railway post effice will con- sist of one superintendent (who will be a kind of postmaster) and four clerks. On the Wash. ington line, mails will be taken for all the prin- cipal points—Newark, Trenton, Philadelphia, Havre de Grace, Baltimore and some other points; as well as for places connecting with these cities. Distributions will be made for stations not on the regular line, in such man- ner as will enable the postmaster to whom the matteris delivered to send it forward at once, and without the ordinary assorting processes through which so many delays occur. The great value of the new system will not be apparent until railway postoffices are placed on all the lines; but the immediate gaim to perenne resid! in this city, Philadelphia and ‘ashington, who send tetters vetween theese points, will be three or fourhoars Packages which must now be in the postoffice at six o'clock, in order to be cent by the half past seven o'clock express train mail, can be for- ‘warded on Monday and afterwards by the care at the moment of starting. Then the let- ters are to be distributed on board, that on ar- riving at any place on the route, they may be put into the hands of the carriers, and at once deliverss to the persons to whom they are di- rected. The Washington morning mail will be pre- pared on the cars for the first morning delivery in the city, instead of waiting, as now, for the second or third—a gain of two hours or more— in many cases & most important saving of time to our business community, WHAT WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED, But it is a principal teature of the system that the tedious distributions of mails from various parts of the country, in our principal cities, will be avoided. Letters coming from Washington and other cities to the south ward, for Boston, haye, under the old plan, to be brought to the New York office; and because of the time occupied in distributing and trans- ferring the matter, the mail for the East is lost, ca aieaiere delayed not unfrequently an ntire day. © Instead of this detention here and elsewhere, ‘the mails, when the new system is complete, will be sent from one railway post office to the other; and the authorities are particularly de- sirous that the cars for the eastern route may be ready at the earlies possible moment, so as to give the four most important cities of the Union the advantages that will hereafter be extended to all important towns in the coan- try. Batway Post offices have been in use for many years in France and England, with the best results; and to the fact that our railroad companies were almost without exception op- posed to the system, because it ‘would compel them to adopt new time tables, and otherwise incommode them, is principally due our fail- ure to adopt it before now. A few months hence, the Government mails will be carried as rapidly as those of the ex- press companies, which, on account of the speed with which they do the werk, have mo- nopolized much of the letter carrying busi- ness. The delays which enable passengers who start for any given point atatime when a let- ter may be mailed, or subsequently, to reach their destination a day or two before the letter arrives, will no longer exist. It is the intention of the officers charged with the important work now in hand to place our mail facilities on a footing equal to those en- joyed by any people in the world.—W. ¥. Post FROM THE SOUTH. ‘An Annual Streak of Bad Luck.’* The Richmond Whig has the following re- markable article: *s We have now fairly entered our regular an- nual streak of bad luck. The recurrence ef these streaks is somewhat wonderful tothe an reflecting. The first began in the first year of the war with the mishap at Dranesville, and continued almost without intermission until the spring of the following year, when Jack- son elecirified the coun! with his famous Valley campaign. After that the tide turned and ran in our favor until Lee was rebuffed at Sharpsburg. Then the current set in the other ‘Way, and so remained until Burnside was de- moralized at Fredericksburg, when it again changed and ran somewhat in favor of the enemy until the battle of Chancellorsville. The campaign of 1863 opened brightly for us, and good fortune followed our arms until the fatal July when the repulse at Gettys- burg was succeeded by the fallof Vicksburg, A series of gloomy months ensued, relieved by the great victory at Chickamauga, bat soon clouded again by the melancholy evants of Missionary Ridge and Knoxville. In the first month of winter, we emerged from the streak ot bad Jack and, rae ve the minor successes of Longs ones, & spring and summer of uninterrupted triumphs biess- ed the Confederate standard. As the fall ap- proached the current tated. The loss of the Alabama was followed by the capitula- tion of the forts near Mobiie, the occupation of the Weldon road, the fall of Atlanta, and the death of Morgan. “How long the present streak of tad luck will continue, it is quite impossiijea to conjec- ture, Hosetofore thers screake bave dii in duration each succeeding year, because the area of hostilities was curtailed and partly because we were better to resist the enemy. In trath—though is no such thing as luck, good or bad, as every sensible person knows—this world is ruled by law, and not by chanee. Our so-called streaks of bad jiuck have been pultbe belo pein of cause—the ieee table result of want of preparation and a) itments. * * * ‘avers yy disaster.
