NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, MAY 4, 1869.—-QUADRUPLE SHEET. I torily. It is our conviction that every letter which reaches the old Dutch church before seven A. M. can be sent out by nine o'clock, “and that by ten A. M. every letter by the morning mails for city delivery can be de- spatcbed from the General Post Office; yet careful inquiry leads us to the belief that this is not done, We particularly believe this to be the case with some of the minor foreign mails, in which we have frequently known letters not to reach 2 point of delivery south of Grand street under thirty hours after the arrival of the steamer at her dock. * Buch a state of things in the city delivery department does not conduce to the making of it self-supporting. That can be attained only by making the two cent city despatch portion of the system a prompt and efficient public ser- vice. That it is now very far from being done. It isa perfect mockery to say that a note can be sent to nay portion of our city by the city post aud a reply looked for on the same day; yet in European cities the reply within a few hours isthe unfailing result. When such a state of things is attained here our city delivery will be eclf-sustaining, ani no preaching circulars will ever make our people recur to it for their eity business, as is done elsewhere, until the Tip Van Winkle in charge wakes up. What is wanted is less attention to politics and more attention to business, We call upon Post- pastor Jones to make a searching inquiry into this matter and find out where the fault lies, and whose are the shortcomings, and if he cannot get Yankees to run a city delivery sys- tem as efficiently as John Bull does we.re- commend him to send across the water and get some of the ‘‘blarsied” Britishera to do It for us. cal movements, is kopt up through each Presi- dential term, and oulminates every four years with a new administration, This state of things was bad enough when the reve- nue and expenditures of the government amounted only to sixty or seventy mil- lions a year; but now, when they amount to nearly four hundred millions, and the govern- ment and country have become fearfully de- moralized by the late war, the evil threatens to utterly destroy all public virtue and even our republican institutions. We are rapidly following in the steps of the nations that once flourished and then fell through like causes. The-more populous and wealthy the republic becomes the greater danger there fs of the evil growing. Even in the infancy of this mighty republic, and before it has reached anything like the measure of its greatness, the seeds of decline and full are sown, and unless we can uproot these by timely reforms our great country has seen its happiest days. Our future resis with the people. If they see the evil—if there be public virtue and wisdom enough left, and they will unite aud organize to reform the government and its practices, all may bo well and we may be saved from the danger that threatens us, Tho Union Raijway Ring—Whiskey Rings aut Whiskey Bills, There are some fifty whiskey ring bills ready to be presented to Congress for action at its December session. The interested partios are all hard at work laying their Con- gressional wires and drawing up their plans for the campaign. The exit of the old admin- istration destroyed much of their machinery and threatened, for the moment, to completely wreck their organizations. The evil hands into which the late Executive fell were the agenta of the various rings, especially of the whiskey and national bank rings, The latter are now completely at sea and are looking about for new means to fasten upon the new power the same corrupt surroundings that did so much damage to the old. Whether they will succeed or not depends very much upon the watchfulness of President Grant and his ability to guard his position from approach. The influence, however, is powerful, and insensibly the Executive may fall into the anare. * In Congress we see the Union Pacific Rail- road ring triumpbant, and its directors and hangers-on flaunt their corruption and their ill-acquired means in the face of all decency and legislative morality. We ro- member, only a few years since, a Rhode Island Senator acknowledged frankly that he had taken a fee for certain Congressional work, under plea that it was the habit in Congress, The Senate did not like to be told of their dis- honorable habits, and caused the resignation of the offending Senator. To-day, howevor, we are more civilized. We have Oakes Ames, Henry Wilson, G. M. Dodge, H. Price and J. Wilson—‘‘all honorable men”-—-rapidly driving the national locomotive across the Continent. Two of these gentlemen have the inestimable boon of voting upon their own jobs, with the privilege of the floors of both houses, upon which (o carry on their lobbying. Here they plot for the plunder of the national Treasury and carry out their schemes with only such success as is guaranteed by a large division of the spoils freely made. The fact that Congress winks at all this is the best comment as to the morality of that august but revolutionary as- sembly. This alone isa proof of how com- pletely the Sonate is in the hands of the plun- derera. Where the remedy to correct all this is to come from it is diteplt to tell; one thing is cerlain—it will come from the peoplo, and, if it cannot be corrected in accordance with written law, the bayonet will clear the wreck and pre- pave for a change of government, Our Fereiga News, Our Telegrams aud Our Special Correspondence, Day after day we present in the columns of the Heuatp news sent by telegraph and by mail in such amount and of such value as defies comparison with anything now or at any previous time existing in the shape of journal- istic literature. Our Abyssinian enterprise, which at the time commanded the attention of the civilized world, has not yet and will not soon be forgotten. It is only a day or two since we gave the Ainerican public, by special telegram. the opinions of the London press on Senator Sumner’s speech the day after they Qppeared in London. The American people see and acknowledge the enterprise of a journal which seeks to serve them, and to serve them with the best, and that without a miserable and restraining regard to cost and labor. Y We call attention to a feature of the Heranp of yesterday. There was the usual telegraphic intelligeace from Europe and from all the centres of population on this Continent. Over and above this we had special correspondence from Reno station, from Chile, from Peru, from Brazil, from St. Domingo, from Hayti, from Jamaica, and from three different centres in Australasia, Sydney, Melhourne and Welling- gon. We published also very interesting cor- Bespondence from China. In addition to this* we published special correspondence from Paris, from Madrid, from Berlin, from Pesth, from Constantinople and from Cork. All this, too, aside from an interesting and well se-~ Tectod abstract of general European news, If a newspaper ineans anything it means that thos» who read it should get newa. It ia our object to give our readers news, and news in a cosmopolitan city like New York means the news of the world. The reader of the Henacp of yesterday morning learned almost all that could be learned of the present condition and immediate prospects of the Pacific Railroad, one of the greatest won- ders of modern times; found out almost ell that was worth finding out about Australasia, where many of them have friends, and@where the gold mania is likely to receive a fresh impulse from the discovery of the big- gest nugget ever yet found; about Brazil, where much difficulty must be encountered and overcome before a monarchy can bé firmly established on this Continent; about the West Indian Islands, which can never be at rest until they form part of the great republic; and about China, one of the greatest centres of the world’s life, just opening its eyes to the new civilization, and about the internal affairs and foreign relations of almost every country in Europe. Tt not too much to say that no existing journal in any part of the world can spread before its readers so rich and so varied a repast in the shape of forcign news. It is but truth to add that such a repast is not unfrequently found by the Heratp's million readers, Agricultural Colleges for Patagonia, In the United States agriculture is an insti- tution, Here the far@er cultivates his lands scientifically, combining the sciences of botany, chemisiry and geology to increase their pro- ductiveness, We are becoming more and more an agricultural people, while the number of learned men is increasiag and numbers of our sons crowd colleges where the science of farming is well and thoroughly taught. But one of the most beautifal humbugs of modern times is for speculative mes to come to us and ask us to help build up agricultural colleges on the pampas or in Patagonia, It is to some a commendation if the application fur aid is made by a returned missionary, A agricul - tural college on tho pampas, foraooth! where the favorite harrowis 4 young tree top and the plough is of the kind Virgil describes as used on the Mediterranean two thousand years ago, and where the favorite machinery for pumping is a rcpe tied toa horse's tail, with one man riding the horse while another empties the bucket. Where not one of tho men in fifty can read, by what process will a college give them agricultural knowledge? The Argentine President said that in his youth he opened the pores of his mind to recgive knowledge. Is it not botier to invent a process for opeaing the pores of the public mind? Let tho mon, old as they are, who harrow with a bush heap and pump with a horse's tail, first go to a common school and learn to read. If it is too late in the day for them, let them sound their childven, Let them cultivate habits of industry until the home of the gaucho shall coase to be a tree- less rancho, and then, after two or three gono- rations, there may be a demand for an agricul- tural college. At present the only purpose it would serve would be to make a nice berth, as princtpal of it, for some entecprising young man who may be ont of other innogent om- Wrangling Over the Spoils. Washington has become simply an arcua of combatanis for the spoils of office. From the President dowa to the smallest office-holder or office-seeker, slong the avenues and sirceta, in the Notels and private residences, mixed up with «ll social gatherings, and especially among the Senators and members of Congress, there hak been hardly anything talked abont or thonght of but the spoils, They are the bond of friant-tty and source of ali enmities at that centre of corruption and political schemes, Hardly ever has there been as much wrangling, bitterness and excitement over the offices as during the few weeks of Grant's administration, The President has been savagely bearded in the White House by Senators, and outside he has been unsparingly denounced by meubers of both houses of Congress because he had not offices enough to satiety the insatiable demands of these apoils- mon, Legislation is a secondary consideration with ourongressmen; the distribution of four hundred millions of dollars a year among them- atives, (hele friends and partisans is the inain object. They regard the revenue of the coun- try and all the offices as belongMg to them, and they distribete these just as the heirs of ployment. THE METHOPILITAN POLICE, The néw Police Commisstoner, Henry Smith, did not put in appearance yesterday at Police Head quarters, owing, it l6 said, to certain private pus nesd he had to atteud to before assuming the ehetd an estate divide property, Thefr whole tone | ot an excoriaior of miserable patroimon.

It enters into all politi- of the Police Board, when the reconstruction of the commission will be perfected for the ensuing year. In outside polttiont circles the results that may pt nly follow the reorganization of the Hoard have been tho- roughly canvassed, and the general opinion seems to be that Sir.

Cm1caao, May 3, 1869, ‘The following was received at Lieutenant General Sheridan's headquarters to-day :— Writing under date of March 28 from Fort Sully, General D, 8, Stanley says:—Everything that has been done to neake peace with the Sioux as a nation is an entire failure. The Indians are just as far from peace as they were two years ago. They have boasted, while near this piace, of having killed white men this winier over on the Platte, and of stealing horsea, L believe there are war parties out now to depredate on the line of the Pacific Rail- road. Their hostility may run on m the same way without showing itself only by an occasional mur- der, though I fear it may develop ® worse form in the way of heavy attacks on the froutier. Unfor- tunately for the ideas of our peace advocates, these Indians say they do not want peace; that the whites are afraid of them, which ts the reason we send 80 much for them to eat; that they wil make us leave this country, and will stop the boats on the Missouri river.” The position of the Sioux who were friendly two years ago is unchanged, and they are friendly to- day. They have gained more in numbers, and all reports that they scour the country, ag has been slated at Washington, are false. VIRGINIA.

An adaptation of this play in the face of, an injunction was brought out by the Florences at the Broadway in 1367, at the dead low water of the simmer season, the fist week of August, and for three weeks, as a wonderful success, it was the town talk, even inthe country, If we are not mis- taken, according to the testimony of Fioreace in court, the piece as produc:d by him was wrought out entirely 1rom his memory after witnessing a sin- gle performance In London of the “real genuine Original Jacobs.” This never heard of before in reference to eny other play, is suMicient to indicate powerful and lasting impression which ‘Caste makes upon the mmind of the spectator. But how? It has no lavish display of blinding seenery hor preity jegs nor startling eifects of love, mystery and murder; it las no intricate plot, and yet it ia intensely Interesting from first to last. As Victor Itago makes of his sea devil, without fangs, claws, liorns or thorns, the most terrible of the monsters of the deep, so the author of this play, without stage trickery, blue lizhts or a bewildering-array of arms and legs, and without a singfe murder, has produced one of the most popular of modern dramas. A cot- tage and a drawing room interior serve for all the action of the story. Lhe plot, briefly told, is the perplexities of two poor balict dancers, one of whom inarrics an aristocrat ana the other a gasiltver. Around these four four other distiuct individualitics of ‘the age we live tu” assist in the worxing up of the case, ‘The Hon, George D’Alroy, the aristocrat, of Mr. Fisher was an agreeable gentleinan, though, perhaps, lacking the dash and spirit which Lester Wallack would infuse even tuto this comparatively tame character. ‘The infatuated iover, wren a fall grown man, requires very skilful treatment to escape beirg avsurd; but Mr. Fisher cleverly and gracetuily escapes, The “old dead beat” or “bummer,” Eceies, the jather of the two pretty dancers, as done by Stoddart, stands out in the bold relief of Solon Shingle, Jt is a great work of art.
