Shall we Hare a Postal Telegraph t One year ago the Post Master General, in liis Annual Ileport, recommended the establishment of a Postal Telegraph system, to be controlled by the Government. This recommendation, in the shape .of a bill, drawn up by the Post Master General himself, was placed before Congress, but that body, after wasting much valuable time in Jiscnssinjj it, for some reason failed to pass the measure. And now comes the President in Ids late message, and therein advises Congress to establish this Postal Telegraph system. The Post Master General also renews his former recommendations on the subject. We may therefore an ticipate another vigorous fight on the subject in Congress this winter. The previous discussion of the subject devclopes the fact that it has many implacable opponents as well as many ardent advocates. For ourselves we are opposed to a Postal Telegraph system conj trolled by the government, on economical and political grounds. We do not think the government the proper party to invest in such enterprises. We do not believe, as a governmental investment, it would pay. We believe pri vate enterprise and private capital the proper agents to be employed in such undertakings. It is a well known fact that individuals, with their own capital embarked, can manage sucli enterprises more economically, freer from imposition and fraud on the part of employees, and with greater profit to them selves, than any Government could possibly manage them. If individ uals cannot make railroading and telegraphing pay, the Government bad better not try it. We under stand that the warmest advocates of, and the most persistent lobby ists for the measure are the owners and stockholders of the various tele graph lines throughout the coun try. They want to tell out. They are doubtless losing monev, and want the Government to take a bad bargain off their hands. Let the Government take hold of tins matter and it would be buti very short time until we would have an increase in our already enormous rate of taxation. The revenue of the concern would never equal the expense; while the tax payers would annually be called upon to supply the ever increasing deficit. It is a well known fact that the expense of the Post Ofliee Department is greater than the in come. This year the deficit is over five millions ; which must be sup plied by the toiling laborers of our country. This Postal Telegraph arrangement would have to be sup ported in the same manner. Hut we are opposed to the es tablishment of a Postal Telegraph on different and higher grounds. We are unalterably opposed to it 'It because of the political principle involved therein. We believe it but another step in the vast scheme of centralization concocted by the leade'rs of the'Kepublican party. It is but another agent which they wish" to3 place under their control for the purpose of further perpetu ating themselves in power. Wo all know what a tremendous inlluence the Post Of lieu Department of the Government wielded during ""the late political struggle. We verv vividly remember foi whose elec tion the fifty thousand postmasters of the United States worked during the last canvass,and we mournf ul! v realize the completeness of the job performed by them. We know also that their work was not confined to personal exertions in behalf of their favorite, but we know that they submitted, at the risk of their position, to enormous assess ments levied to reelect Grant. If this Postal Telegraph scheme is established, behold another powerful adjunct to the Post Ollice Department for the purpose of eon tinning the Pepublican party in power. These are some of the rea sons that occur to us at present, why we are not in favor of this lat est " stock jobbing scheme " of Grant's. Changed Hands. The Bullet !h of last Tuesday romes to hand with the at nouncement of an entire change of pro-r-riVtors and editors. The names of tbe new editors are not given, but U ia undertood that Mr. II. W. Scott well Woown waa able journalist in W' gon. baa charjo. Ve welcome htm back lo the Held ot journalism, and ,ve have no doub'. that the Bulletin, under his control A Subject that Should be Agitated A Government Armory. The Herald of tbe 7th inst. containes th following suppositions: The growing importance of the Pacific States makes it necessary that the Federal Government Should turn more of its attention in this diroc'ion than it Las hitherto done. Among other establishments needed on this coast is a suitable place for the manufacture of fire-arms and all the enginery needed lor the purpose of defense in cane of foreign aggression, and lor such protection as our already great and growing commerce de mand. Fortunately we have just the place, with all the necessary local advan tages, near this cnv. The falls of the Willamette, at Oregon City, afford one. of the finest water powers to be found in any part of the world. with a never failing sup ply of w ater to propei not only all machin ery that the Government might want for the purpose indicated, hut an iucalculable amount besides. Harper's Ferry, in Vir ginia. where the Government has for many years bad an establishment for the manu fac'nre of arms. is not the equal as regards natural advantages, of the falls of I he Willamette, for all the purposes which would subserve the wants of the Govern ment. Ueside.s the natural fall and-abun-dant supply of water, our mild Winieis are such that the frost would never inter fere with the motive power or the action of machinery. The proximity of Oregon Ciry to the ocean, and the facility with which it may be approached by sea oing vessels are also points of much import ance. All the material of war which might be manufactured at that locality, could be sent ocean wise, if required by wa'er transportation, at all the seasons of the year And in case of foreign war. Oregon City is so situated inland as not to be vulnerable lo attacks from the ocean. 'llight at hand, aho, is an abundance of the raw mitt-rial which enters into the manufacture of fiie-atuis and other war implements. Iron ore of superior quality and of itiexaustlcss quantity is found bu a short distance Ironi the Falls, and stone coal is also accessible. Aud finally, lo crown all. a rich and fertile soil, and an industrious population, produce all the necessaries of life, close at hand to supply any amount of force which the Govern ment might employ in such an enterprise. Tfi'ese. we lake it. are the principal points which would be taken into consideration. ,hould the ( iovcriiment attempt to estab lish an armory on the Pacific coast. We do not believe there is another locality on the coast that combines so many advan tages for the purpose indicated. It is evi dent to our mind. also, that the lime i.--near at hand when it will be necessary tor tile Government lo establish an aimory in this section of the Union. The reasons which might be adduced to demonstrate that necessity are vaiious anil multiplied, but we fchall not Midertuke iheir li'scns sviou now. Many of ihem are so obvious that they will occur lo every intelligent mind when the subject is mentioned. Our spt cial object is lo awaken attention to the subject, and to induce some of our active business men to commence the proper movement with a view to secure lhe end propped. We are persuaded that a Government armory for the manu facture of arms will be. impel iously de manded on this coast, in lhe promt s of a few more years, and those who take the initiative, having the requisite advantages, will Ue likely to secure the piize." Grant a Minority President. A correspondent of the Cincinnati Eii qnher interrogates that paper on a point. the answer to which deserve mole than ordinary attention : EniToit or EN'ii'ii'.KR : Is it true that a majority of the white men in the United States voted lor Horace Greeley for Pres ident in the late election? Upon your statement I have so snVI, but it has been several limes contradicted by Grant men. Will you give us the pi oofs. l.o,t ikki:. We will, with pleasure. The proofs arc ,!..,,...

In lfcTO. by the United Slates census, there w ere 4 .,6'J.0t)U negroes in the United States. oThere must be now over 5.0')l).0i)l of ihem. We poil in Ohio one vote toevry five inhabitant. In Indiana it is one lo every lour and a fraction. We may safely assume that one out of every five negroes has voted. Rut for the sake of argument we will estimate iheir voles at 000. Of that vole Mr. Greeley did not receive more than :U.(M)i. and we doubt if he had 111 000 The ma jority foj Grant of the negro vote wjh certainly more than 70U.UOU. u lUU.utm more than his vh over Greeley.

The sin-cess of "Reautifal Snow and Other Poems,"' by J. W. Watson, has induced the same publishers to issue a st cond volume bv the same wr.ter. erntitled "the Outcast and Other Poems." In all the essentials of neatness, and elegance, tdear type, timed paper, and handsome binding, it is ore of the daintiest volumes p rot. iv. ed 111 Philadelphia ,r a long; time.

He rarely a tempts anything in which humor is the prevadmg element, but illustrates common-place subjets in a very earnest 111:1 ii tli r, and O'ten is pathetic an I tender. Above all. and in this he iliiiers from and has a decided advantage over most modi rn lyrists, he is thoroughly intelligible, for he does'not picteiul lo engrnlt metaphysics upon his verse.
