Assist- ant Attorney-General Bryant, of the post- office department, has carefully examined the complicated statutes bearing upoa this subs jact, and as result of his report the postmas- ter-general has decided that, while the matter of construction is free from doubt, and that whileitis absolutely certain that the con- right in the premises, yet the rule haviog been followed for two years, and scmething over $200,000 having been appropri: ated by ocomgress for the payment of salaries on the old basis, he does not deem 1t proper in the strength of his own individual opiion, even if it were adverse, to change that ruliog.

A fter considerable talk it was decided to refer the matter back to the general managers to take such action as they many deem necessary, The reason as- signed for the Union Pacific's objection to make rates higher to Omaha than rates to Council Bluffs, is the jealousy between the Council Bluffs and Omaha merchants. The Intter, it is stated, have lately been holding indignation meetings protesting against the action of the managers in making a higher rate to Omaha than to Council Bluffs, Omaha people claim that under such an_arrangement Council Bluffs merchants, as well as the mer— chants of Kanses City and other Missouri river points, would have s great adventego over them.
