TRLEGRAPHY.—Postmaster General Howe wili in his forthcoming report urge upon Congress the necessity for the government enter- ing upon the domain of postal telegraphy. He suys It 1s the business of the Post Office denart- ment to facilitate prompt and rapid intercourse between the people. “We have,” says the Post- master General, “at present a monopoly, In fact an Undisputed one, of all the slow methods for trans- mitting letters, while corporations enjoy the ex- elusive privileze of sending by the rapid system messages and business communications, In my oninton the Post Office department ought to be equipped with every facility tor postal telegraphy. The government can do it cheaper than comn- Dantes and certainty with the same promptness.” As to the ineans, the Postmaster General has not yet outlined his report.

SECRETARY HENDERSON STILL CONFIDENT—BUT I8 AFRAID OF DEMOCRATIC TRICKS, THEY ARE 80 AWFULLY QUIET—THE DEMOCRATIC HEADQUAR- TERS—GONE TO PHILADELPHIA—CLERKS ANXIOUS, BUT NOT WITHOUT HOPE. For the first time in two months there ts quiet at the rooms of the repubilcan campaign committee. The supply of documents are exhausted, having been sent where they will do the most good. Sec- retary Henderson remains to receive the returns. A special wire will be run Into the headquarters, and the returns, as fast as received, will be ais- played to-night, Although the verdtct is about ready to be re- ceived, Secretary Henderson is firm in the faith that the republic ans will elect. a majority of the next House of Representatives. Mr. Jay Hubbell has gone to hig Michizan home to vote. “There 1s, an air of confidence displayed by the few who re- main tn the committee's employ. The only thing suggestive of defeat is the presence of two huge trunks, which are not yet labelled “For Sait ver.” ‘Tam as confident,” said Col. Henderson, “that we will carry the House of Representatives as I am that I am sitting here.” This to the STaR man. “ We will get the votes in the boxes, but WE MAY BE COUNTED OUT. You know in certain sections of the country they have approved methods, as developed by experi- ence, for counting the votes. All these will be used against the republicans, and new plans to de- feat the popular will have been devised. Now I. have some very good news this morning. A few minutes ago I received a/dlspateh stating that Tom Ochiltree would be elected by from 1,000 to 1,600 In the 4th Texas district. Also that one or two dis- triets in Pennsylvania, heretofore considered doubtiul, will be carried by the republicans.” “How about the sixth Maryland district?” asked THE STak scribe. “MeComas,” sald the Colonel, “1s a splendid or- gauizer. He has the district ‘wellin hand, and will be elected. Montgomery Blair has not'man- aged his canvass well. For Instance, the district favors a tariff. Itisa tariff district.

WHAT MR.

THE DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE ROOM at the Capitol 1s as quiet as a graveyard. The young man who has done about all the work has gone to Philadelphia to cast his vote in Alderman Bill MeMullen’s ward for Ex-Speaxer Randal. - In the departments to-day but little official busi ness was transacted.

Some days ago the District Commtsstoners referred the application of the sisterhood con- nected with St. John’s church (P.E.), for the abate Tent or cancellation of special assessment taxes on certain real estate owned by them, to Attorney Riddle, who replies that the act of Merch 3 deals purely with general taxes, and dees not exempt the property named from’ assessment for special and therefore has no application to tion.
