IHfclioiiciit Itoufe Affcntii
The ltudical administration has been
very unfortunate In its appointment of
route mail agents. Within the past few
weeks no less than n dozen of these ofllccrs
have been arrested for appropriating fluids
that did not belong to them. Wo learn
from the Dome Courier of the 8th Inst.,
that Chns. Mills, Doutc Agent on tlio Sel

rested a few days since, chnrgcd with rob

though It is denied by those who profess
to be In tlie confidence of tlio Prcstdcnt-
Genoral, tlmt tho present administration
will put this question In tho foreground of
its policy. 1 All right—wo have no sort of
objections to Mr. Grant grasping niter

In tlio last issuo of this journal, wo find
a defence of tho Loyal Leagues, involving
a pretty broad intimation that tlieso Had-
Ical machines, whllo pretending to work
for a “true ltcpublicnn form of govern
ment,” are secretly plotting for empire.—
The Imperialist jus titles tli is on the grounds
(1) tlmt a people who wilftilly abandon
control of their own aflkirs nre incnnnblc
of self-government; thnt (2) truth impels
the oonfrssiou tlmt tho Republic is iv mere
idol of rnm* and straw; and tlmt (3) a de
clared and responsible government is bet
ter thnu a sham.

Tlio Atnlmmn Question.
The Loudon Times, of tho 7th, has an
other editorial on the Alnbmna claims. It
says England endeavored to do justico to
all parties during thu late rebellion nnd
must decline to acknowledge any other
motive for her action. She hns offered to
submit to arbitration tliO qiiesttbn whether
she has been, culpably negligent, but she
cannot go further. Extravagant misrep
resentations were necessary to ftimish the
basis for such a policy os is foreshadowed
in Mr. Sumner’s speech. The Times con
eludes by assuring' Americans that It will
prove a failure.
On Their Travels.
It is reported ftom Washington' that a
sub-committco of the llouso Committee of
Foreign Affairs intend to visit Cuba and
St. Domingo next September; nnd thee*
traoi-dl'nai-y assertion follows Jhnt “Gen.
Hanks lms drawn three thousand dollnra
from the Houso contingent fund” to pay
the expenses of the committee.
ThoNow'York Post, (Radical) expresses
the hope thnt Jlr. Banks lms mado
such mistake. Tho Post thinks a Con-
Rressionnlcominlttcehnsnorlght to squan

The Post-master at Cumbevlaud Ford
writes us that a Mr. Farmer recently
found on tho mountain near tho ford, un
der a huge rock, tho statue of a man,
carved in wood, almost as natural as life,
and having the appearance of being made
two thousand years ago. It is supposed
to bo somo heathen god, worshiped by the
aborigines nbout tho tlmo that Homo was
destroyed. Wo lmvo a very imperfect
memory of events of that dato, as we were
not then particularly interested in thorn,
nnd therefore suggest that the statue be
sent to tlio museum at tho Kentucky Uni
versity for further identification.—iVanJt-

Ahmit midnight of Sunday last the pco-

ened by tho cry of fire, which proved to he
emttsed by tho burning of a two-story lYamc
house, owned by John Darwin; and occu
pied by him as a liquor saloon, which was
completely destroyed. Those neighbors
first on the spot found Darwin lying on
the ground, bo badly burned aa tone near
ly insensible. lie was conveyed to a neigh
boring house; hut died in great agony l»c-
forc morning. It appears that the unfor
tunate man, as soon ns he had discovered
tho fire, ran out of tho house, but subse
quently Returned to savc his five children,
lie was badly intoxicated at tlie time, and
entering the burning building, the flames
struck him in the face, and immediately,
owing to the amount of liquor ho had drank
set fire to the inside of Ids throat and sto
mach, burning up his tongue, so that,
