Lire. Hall AND Dr. KEYES SrEAR THEIR ‘Minp Apovr Dr. Rertty.— To-day Surgeon Gen- €ral Woodworth, cf the marine hospital service, transmitted to the executive committee of the National Yellow Fever Commission copies of letters of Assistant Surgeon Keyes, of the M. H. S.. and Lieut. Hall, » in relation to the telegrams sent to the Secretary of War and the chairman of the committee by Dr. F. W. Reilly and others relative to the order directing the relief boat to preceed up the river. Dr. Keyes gives a statement that Dr. Reilly accompanied the Chambers as a represeutative of the Chicago relief committee, and was allow- ed agreat many facilities; accompanied him on shore when he visited the various relief assocl- ations to ascertain what was needed, and in Ubis way gathered a few things with which his sensation articles were tiny with truth. He Says: As regards Lieutenant Benner, assisted me for a few hours ions wien I was worn out by Ros telegrams and those of sburg parties, influenced no doubt by him, were without the knowledge or consent of Hall or myself. We hold him personally msible for them, and have so informed Dr. R. did all this for his own giorifica- him. tion and the sale of a sensational newspaper. My telegrams and those of Lieut. Hall were in te line of duty and in obedience to orders.” L Hall's letter states that he concurs in report, and states further that Dr. openly boasted that he “only came down utation and did not care what the boat id that when he (Lieut.

SUPPOSING IT HAS THE ELECTION OF A PRESI- DENT, THEN WHAT? The political complexion of the detesations by states in the Forty-sixth Congress 1s still somewhat in doubt. If Florida has elected a republican Congressman, as late dispatches in- dicate, it will take one away from the demo- cratic side and leave that party with a majority in the delegations of only 17 states, with the re- eae a holding 19. If, however, Nevada is democratic in the Congressional contest, which is also indicated by telegraphic dispatches, then the republicans will have but is votes by states and the democrats 1s, with Florida a “stand off,” and Indiana also evenly divided. Thus, if an election for President (if these calculations hold good) was thrown into the House of Rep- resentatives of the Forty-sixth Congress, it would be impossible fer it body to elect a President. The Constitution provides that in electing a President by the House, the candi- dates shall be taken from the five highest on the list, and the person having a majority of the votes of all the states shall be declared President. What, under the above calculation, would then be the resu!t? The republicans would have eighteen votes, the democrats elghteen. Fiorida’s vote, being evenly divided, would be a nullity, and even the vote of De La Matyr, the Indiana greenbacker, if cast for either the re- puanas or democratic candidate, would not elp matters, because it would require twenty votes to elect, and, no matter on which side he might vote, it would only give nineteen in the aggregate, whereas the number required 1s twenty. If, on the other hand, the democrats carry both Nevada and Florida, they will have the twenty votes required, without the Indiana greenbacker. The probabilities seem to be, though, that Florida will be democratic and Nevada republican; and if so, the vote by dele- gations will stand as follows: ee oe Colorado, Connecti- cut, Tilinois, lowa, Kansas, Maine, Massachu- setts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampahire New Jersey, New York, Penn- sylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont and Wisco: sin. Total, 19, Democratic—Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mary- tpl Missouri, North Corolina, Ohio, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia. Total, 18. Indiana—é republicans, 6 democrats, 1 green- backer, This would leave THE PRESIDENCY IN THE HANDS OF OXE MAN, ard that man Gilbert De La Mytyr, of Indiana. He could make it possible to elect the republi- can candidate, if he voted with the republicans, ‘but if with the democrats, it would be a dead- Icck, and end ina failure to elect—each party asting nineteen votes. Of in such an event ¢ course, this on the assumption that California in April next will elect a majority of its republi- Slee Peewee candidates. Should that party lore California the republican column wi be eighteen and the democratic nineteea, leaving De La Matyr still holdtng the balance of power ‘There is no doubt but that hen area organ ization will put forth its best efforts to capture the California congressional Cag oe for upon it may depend a President. ‘Turn which way one will, however, De La Matyr looms up as an indispensable factor.

THE FOURTH ANNUAL CONVENTION of the Wcman’s National Christian Temperance Uni n met yesterday in the Eutaw-street M. E. chu:ch, Baltimore. Mrs. J. McK. Retley deliv- ered the address of and Mrs. Annie Wit\enmyer, president, made the annual report. a \he evening a temperance mass-meeting was U. S. Mail Transportation. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SECOND ARSISTANT POST- MASTER GENERAL. ‘The annual report of Gen. Thomas J. Brady, the seeond assistant postmaster general ,’or the fiscal year ended June 30th, 1878, has been Prepared for the postmaster general. The document is of unusual length, and the figures and recommendations that it contains, especial- jy those that refer to the railroad service, are of more than ordinary interest. It appears that the cost of inland transportation for the year Was $16,034,021. The increase of the num- ber of railroad, steamboat. and star routes over the previous year was 683, in the aggrezate length 9,146 miles and in the anmuat cost $649,126. The small increase of 354 miles in the steamboat routes as compared with that of last year which was 2,02 miles 1s owing principally to changes in Florida. by which steamboat ser- vice was discontinued. ‘Ihe appropriation for ratiway mall transpor- tation during the year was $9,250,009. The ac- tual cost, so far as adjustments were com- leted, was $9,566,595, which 1s at the rate of 316,595 per annuin in excess of the appropria- Ucn. The difficulty, amounting almost to an Mnpossibility, of preventing a deficiency of this kind, is explained by the report. It is the duty of the department to provide for the transpor- tation of all mailable matter which may be pre- sented in the form prescribed by law. By act of Congress certain rates of compensation are to be paid for certain average weights of mails per day. and also certain rates for the compen- sation of railway post office cars. As the Post- master General has neither the authority nor the power to limit the amount of mail matter to be forwarded, which represents about 90 per cent. of the cost of railroad transportation, and as he does not pre be the rates to be paid, there are only two ways in which he ean re- duce the expenditures for this purpose to the amount appropriated. These are—frst, by dis- continuing the mail service on certain roads; sand, second, by discontinuing lines of railroad post office cars, until the cost is reduced to the required figure. But owing to the laws witch regulate the distribution of mails over new railroads, the cost of new service ts not deter- mined until the greater part of the fiseal year has expired. The necessity of reweighing mul matter, In many instances, is another difficulty. Lis, therefore, not easy to prevent a deficiency. ‘Tle amount appropriated for the current tiscal year is $9,100,000. It is definitely ascertained that $400,000 additional will be required to cover the cost of service for 1si9. If no further funds are supplied service to the above amount must be discontinued. It is esumated that $10,250.00) will be required foriss0.

In order to bring about a maximum degree of usefulness in the railroads in their proper wot it is recommended that the delivery of mai from stations to Re offices be performed by the government. Reasons for the recommenda- Uon are given, ‘The idea presented by the rail- Way cominission that some arrangement can prebably be made with the raflroud express | prform side service for a sum not 0 is not concurred in, Large ss in such serviee have been made in the Inviting conipetition, and {t Is belleved that the most reasonable rates can be obtained by pursuing the same plan in the future. ‘Opinion Is given that the proposed law making space, speed and frequeacy the basis of compen: sation to railreads conteniplat decided: im. provement on the present method, in w well t companies to € sly stating the amount of be necessary, and that its e tobe used will Anclabcrate plan ef gauging Ul initted for the consideration of Co: nection with the bil. After correcting a few inaccuracies in the re- port of the railway commission, a comparison of present service und rates with’ those of previ- ous years is made. In 18M the average ra mi!é of annual transporiation was 9.6 cé 1867 the average rate was 11. 7 it was 10.5 cents. Notwithsta he great increase In the weight of mails carried. and the pace ts sub- Agress In con imyroved facilities provided for its distribution | claimed by about 1 in transit, the rate is but nine mills more than in 1854, The growth of the ratiway mail ser- yice will correspond to the increase in the na- tion’s population. It is wrong, consequently, to look for reduced expenditures from year to year under this head, or to expect the amount which will be required to be accurately Dxed. As the duties of the officer who superintends the adjustment of railroad accounts, involving the expenditure of more than nine million dol lars each year, are laborious and of great re- sponsibility, it is recommended that his salary be increased to at $2,900 a year, and that he be recognized as “superintendent of railway adjustments,” It is suggested that the Post- master General be authorized by law to desig- nate a uniform to be worn by any or all em- Vashi of the posta Iservice, and that a penalty fixed for the wearing of“ the uniform by one not entitled todoso. It is recommended that the present classification of railway messengers into mail route messengers, route ageats, & ‘be abolished. There were 488,479 mail bags, 37,585 mail I and 5,578 mail k istlbuted during the year ‘A reduction in expenses unde made over the previous year of $25, more than 15 per cent. The aggregate estimate for 18s0 for mail trans- portation and the items incident thereto is $20,780,000, ‘The aggregate amount appropriated tor the current year ts $15,106,6 ‘The estimate shows an increase of $2,083,327, or about 117, per cent. General Brady brings his report to a close by recommending the re-enactment of the former Jaw by which the Postmaster General was au- thorized, when immediate service was required or a new route was established, to make a tem- porary contract, without advertising, for a Period not to exceed twelve months. The time was subsequently limited to six months, caus- ing embarrassment in the work of the oitice, making necessary additional miscellaneous ad- vertisements every year, and thus increasing expense and labor without any apparent ad- vantage.
