There was an interesting debate sprung lip
in the House on Tuesday last, on the com
parative merits of the Postoffice Department
and of Express' Companies as common car
riers*. An agent of.tlie Internal Kevenue •dj 3r
Department had received a large package oT <"
stamps by. mail, and, being subsequently di
rected to return them, be returned them
tbroogb the same ebanuel (the mail) taking
care to have the packages registered. Never
theless, the package was lost, and the De
partment claims that the agent should lose
the amount for having entrusted the pack
age to the Uaited States mails instead of to
private expresses. The same position was
assumed the same day on a bill introduced
lor the relief of the officer, and it was
claimed that a Government official should
have ignored the Government mails as not
trustworthy, and employed private enter
prise. What a commentary we have here
upon onr postal system. The stamps were
at all times Government property, and being
entrusted to the mails, were stolen by Gov
eramenl agents,. and yet the Government
proposes making an individual citizen bear
the loss.
The Awful Pbbil or General Logan.—
The New York Tribune, which but recently
intimated, editorially, that quite a number
of Radical Senators came very near losing
their lives by poison, at Washington, during
the pendency of the impeachment trial, now
publishes the following awful attempt to as
sassinate General Logan, at York, Pennsyl
vania! while on his way to Chicago; The
correspondent of the Tribune says:
“At York, Pennsylvania, an attempt wa9
made to aefiassinate General Logan, who,
with his family, was on the train. While
" the train was in waiting, General Logan had
occasion to step from tire ears a .few min
utes, when he was immediately recognized-
by a lot of meo standing around the depot.
When he got on the train several of the
party followed him, but ventured no farther
ilian the plattorm. Just as the whistle blew
lor starting, several large stones were hurled
through the windows of the oar-where Gen
eral Logan sat. Fortunately, they did no
more harm than to break the car windows.
One ot them came very near hitting £
daughter of Senator Cameron on the head.
Another struck Governor Hahn, of Louis

The National Board of Trade wilPrueet at
the Philadelphia Academy of Magic, June 3d.
It was formed at the Boston Commercial
Convention last spring, and is composed of
delegates from the boards©! trade and cham
bers of commerce in all the principal cities
of the United States. /
It Will be wen by the call, fay a meeting oi
the Stockholders in this important enterprise
that an organization of the company will
take place to-day at the office of George W.
Wylly, Esq., on Bryan street.
. We are glaa fb »ee this ,tep taken, as it
gives assurance of the buildiDg of the road.
It has long been a matter of doubt with
many favoring the enterprise as to whether,
it waa-ptanticahie. Bat fromjYbat^hear,
we can assure the public that the road wi|l
not only be built, but will be in running or-
der in a lew months.
The amount necessary to organization,
$10,000, has been paid in, ami many who
heretofore hare not subscribed because tiiey
thought the work would never be com
menced, are now coming forward and taking
stock.
In onr opinion no enterprise has ever been
started in Savannah (excepting the Central
and Gulf Railroads and our steamship lines) of
so much interest to our city. The road must
develop the resources of our Seaboatd to an
unimagiued degree. Those who have never
had tie opportunity cif observing the won
- - - -oiandSondT the suburb, of (Northern
lyThd etlilsfm jof the* rAroftds a
few miles into the surrounding territory, can
not now imagine the many benefits which
will follow ttie completion of ibis road.
Some of the potent and immediate results and
benefits to follow, are:
First. A large increase ia the market value
of all real estate along the route, and at and
near the termini of the road.
Second. Facility of travel and saving of
expense of travel : tO all 'residing' on the borders
of that side of Chatham county.
Third. Cheap homes to all classes, but es-
iiecially to the laboring classes,
hundreds of dollars per annum
food.
Fourth. Delightful residences “on the
Salts" for the year round to business men and
men of capital, who, without any trouble, and
with a saving of 50 per sgnt. of household
expenses, can attend'to their business in Sa
vannah as well as if they resided in the city.
This most important truth is illustrated
thousands of instances around every large city
At the North.
Fifth. The seaboard will then become the
ground for all healthful and rational recreation.
It is the choicest spot for pic-nics and all
pleasure-parties, and whereas, now it requires,
perhaps, *100 for a boat to carry a party to the
Isle of Hope or some other salt water point,
the same party could then go for not exceeding
$15.
Sixth. Hotels will spring up along the coast
of Chatham, and invalids can reach them and
salt baths at an expense of one twentieth the
present price by carriage or hack.
Seventh, f heneaboard will become a “city
of refuge" for the rich and poor, in the event
of an epidemic in Savannah.
Eighth. It will keep tens of thousands of
capital at home, which will inevitably, if this
road were not built, be spent every summer
at the North. This summer drain on our
Southern cities depletes our capital, and coo-
seqaently keeps down the number of our
laborers, more than any single cause. How
w,.»H,f»inUies and individuals migrate every
because we have no summer retreats. Two
hundred thousand dollars thus tost to our
capital every year, is a small estimate. This
should Dot be. We must be self-supporting.
Rich and poor must unite and build np this
mony
candidal
support Ji
may easily be done.
This would aU be very well, if it could be
established that it was the doty of the Demo
cratic party to endorselhe poliHqpl princi-
pies an$ give their confidence to every Re
publican or Radioal politician-who maybe
possessed of a solitary virtue—who respected

Commenting- on this new movp. on the
political chess board, that abWDfemocrelio
tipirftie Baltimore Gazette.Ays:
So far as the formation of a Chase party is
concerned it is' feasible euoughiin the present
unsettled condition of the Radical. forces.
But that any considerable number of leading
"Deiqocratic Congressmen*’ intend to engage)'
in the movement we do not for a tnodieht be
lieve. At the risk of being oilrielves (con
victed by future events of stupidity, we un
dertake to say that none but a few very silly
people could entertain the idea that there is
the remotest chanoe of seeing Judge Chasd
the Democratic candidate Ml the next Presi
dential election. Unless we are much mis
taken, the Democratic party in 1861 wai
averse to war and in favor of a compromise
with Ihe South, It desired that the war when
it did come should be conducted as far as
possible on the prmciples of humauity -and
civilization. It thought that the rights of
the citizens ehdnid not be trampled upon
all over the country because , of the
war ia tho South, and that the people of
the North should not be deprived ot
the liberty of speech.. The .Democratic
party abhorred ihe wljulo. raft of political
and plundering Generals, of whom Butler
was the type, and the shoddy contractors
and cotton speculators who, under the Ua-
coin administration, were permitted to con
duct their operations with impunity. It
was opposed to the.»uppres ion of public
journals and the festabllsb'ihent of Govern
ment bastiles. It did not do or say a great
deal in maintenance of the right or resis
tance to the wrong, claiming that, situated
as it was, it was helpless. Bj that as it
may, the great bulk'ot the party entertained
pretty much: til® peupbtqntir we-have ex
pressed. Oo almost every point Judge
Chase was diametrically opposed do it. In
his capacity of Cabinet officer he tolerated
hundreds of outrages which even the poor
plea of “militaiy necessity” could not' be
stretched to cover.' In the Senate be has
voted a score ot limes for acta which every
lawyer ia the land would once have pro
nounced to be grossly, unconstitutional, end
which every honest lawyer knows to be ao
now. On the bench he bus refrained at the
bidding oi the Radical party from announc
ing, when properly called - on and at a mo
mentous crisis, what he knew to be the law
of the land. Such has been Judge Chase’i
course in the past, and he is to-day the ad
vocate of negro suffrage. Bearing ia mind
what we said about the capacity of parties
to do singular thiDgs, we nevertheless ven
ture the usseriion thut the nomination of
Judge Chase is not among the contingencies
ot the next six weeks. That parly will cer
tainly not lose its principles and its common
sense both at the same lime. .*
While upon this topic we may ba perm|tted
to remark that we sincerely hope the Demo
cratic party will Dominate a candidate (who
represents now, and who since the bigin
ning of the war, always Ijps -represented
its leading principles. It owes it to iiselt
to take its leader trom amoog those who
amid the convulsions ol civil war clang with
most tenacity to the cardinal principles of
the party and upheld most vigorously the
Constitution. It is for this reason we have

Interesting to Bankrupts.—By the pro
visions of the present bank apt law the time
allotted for taking the benefit thereof ex
pires on the 1st of June next. After that
time the act applies only to those parties
who are able to pay fifty cents ia the dollar.
An amendment to this act has’ passed the
House, which provides for an extension of
ihe time for,oqe .year from the 1st of Jane,
1868, but it has tailed thus far to pass tho
Senate.
Famine in Algeria.—The famine and pen
tilence in Algeria has, itlsifcated, destroyed
100,000 Arabs within the last six month.
The sufferings of the people are as horrible
as those of the inhabitants of the Italian
cities in the middle ages. A plague-lijte
disease, as is usual in seasons of famine, af
flicts both man and beast. Two French mis
sionaries have arrived in New York for the
purpose of obtaining aid and relief from the
citizens of the United States.
Illness of Ex-President Buchanan.—The
Lancaster Ihtelhgencer state* tbat tbe con
dition of Mr. Buchanan’s health is very criti
cal; he is still confined to his bed and al
lowed to see no one. The prostration re
sulting from bis illness is each as to occa
sion, owing to his advanced age, tbe gravest
apprehensions as to the result.
Senator Wade.—The New York Post
(Republican), referring to the Tote on im
peach went, says:
The only disgraceful vote cast on Satur
day was that ot Mr. Wade, who, with a
reckless abandonment of decency and pro
priety, voted for conviction, and lor his own
elevation to the Presidency, when it 'was be
lieved by himself and the other supporters
ot impeachment tbat cooviclion would be
obtained by only a single vote. We shall be
surprised if Mr. Wade’s course in this mat
ter does not drive him out of public life; it
has certainly lost him the respect and confi
dence of all impartial miods.
It was Wage’s Scheme.—Mir. Thnrlow
Weed, of the New York Commercial Adver
tiser, says that the proposition of calling in
the Southern Senators to make a majority
against Mr. Johnson in the impeachment
trial was Wade’s proposition. Mr. Weed
adds : “And when it was rejected he was
enraged, and outraged all the proprieties and
decencies of bis position by voting ’hiipself
in favor of the article that with one more
vote wonld bate made him President!”
Safe Rat Poison.—Squill, probably known
as Squills, is said to be unusually fxial to the
life of rats. At least the Paris Moniteur
contains tbe statement that the rats in France
are to be killed wholesale by the use of a
compound, of which squill is to be the pois
onous ingredient. This root can be obtain
ed in Very large quantities, and at a small
cost in Algeria, a remedy for the ravages
, ot this domestic pest is absolutely necessary
in France, where, it Is estimated, upwards
of two thousand million rat* and oUier gnaw
ing vermins are to be found. The destruc
tion of valuable crops Is calculated to amount
every year to one million dollars.

and aU similar enterprise, and time keep

THE CHASE MOVE.UK XT.
From various sources wo have bad within
tbe few day past intimations of a movement
being on foot to bring Chief Justice <Cfi;.se
our. for tbe Presidency, either »3 an j inde
pendent Conservative candidate or hs the
candidate of the Democracy. It is reported
upon what is said to be good authority tbat
some ten days since tbe Chief Justice:stated
to a prominent Ohio politician end eX-mem-
bfer of Congress tbat be intended to Tun as
the Democratic candidate, provided he could
secure a platform which would suit bis
views, but tbat if such Democrats as Sey
mour and Pendleton impressed their ex
treme views on it, he should then give up
auy design of working with tbat party, and
run as an independant candidate.
The New York Herald thus endorses the
claims of Judge Chase to the Democratic
nomination. It says:
His conduct during the 'impeachment
trial shows that in the discharge of duty he
is above faction or parly influence. His
former friends—"the Radicals—bitterly de
nounce him because be has had the inde
pendence and honesty to act justly. . He is
a man of great ability, and, evidently, is
now on the Conservative sfde of thp great,
issue of the day—the .conflict between tbe
power of tbe national legislature and the
constitutional prerogatives .of the Executive
and Jadiciaryf If the sensible men of the
Democratic party and the Conservative Re
publicans would unite on Mr. Chase as their
candidate for the Presidency, he might be
elected by a large vote over tbe Radical
candidate.* f
The New York Sun, a Radical offshoot
from tbe Tribune, in 8npporl|o’f the claims
of Jadge Cha3e quotes from the Tribune as
follows:
‘•The man who has done more than all
others, UDless in a pecuniary way/ to secure
this result, (tho acquittal ot the President,)
is Chief Justice Chase. He deckled the
vote of Mr. Van Winkle. He {did bis
utmost—happily in vain—to carry off
Messrs. Anthony and Sprague. We doubt
that Mr. Henderson wonld have voted ii» he
did bat for the Chief Justice’s exertions.—
Those exertions saved Andrew Johnson
from the verdict which we feel that he
has worked hard and successfully to. de
serve.”
The Sun continues:
With 8nch endorsements of his claims, we
may now consider the Chief Justice 4s reg-
nlariy in tbe field. The conservative portion
of tbe Democracy will present his name as a
candidate before the' National Convention
which meets in this city on the ittf qf. Jujy.

▲ STRANGE PEOPLE.
The Abyssinians are a most curious peo
ple. To attempt to give any idea of; their
manners and customs would occupy a much
larger space than a letter of this kiud wonld
allow. Ambara, a province which lies to
our right, is to the other provinces pf the
empire what Paris is to France. Its people
give manners, customs, and religious ex
ample to the rest of tbe Abyssinians. They
are the most civilized and refined ot a’.l the
nations in the whole of Africa south of
Egypt. Gondar, the capital of i4 Itiopia,” as
the natives term their country, is situated in
Ambara. Here are the only manufactories*
schools, and academies ib Abyssinia.
'The people of Gondar ’work skflful de-
