We have a very able letter on file for to-morrow. It first appeared in the Quitman Press, and was addressed to the alliance by one of its prominent members, Hon. T. J. Livingston. It is sensible to the core. A New Postmaster in Thomas- ville. The Thomasviile correspondent of the Constitution writes as follows about the changes in the postoffice here: “It seems t'iat the charges made against Postmaster Joseph Smith, of this office, by ao inspector some time ago, were accepted without further investigation, for it is now announced that Adam D. Rilre has been given the office, and that Mr. Smuh will be displaced. In the chargers referred to one ot the inspector’s strongest points against Mr. Smitli was that he refuses to employ negro assistants in the office. Smith replied to the charge by saying that while the government’s official was in the city, he was drunk nearly all the time, and obtained his views of the situation by attending a negro powwow. At the commence ment of the competition for the posi tion of postmaster'of Thomasviile Joseph Smith, A. D. Rike and Leb Dekle were the most prominent among the contestants. Mr. Smith was prob ably the people’s choice, and every one but the defeated office seekers were satisfied when he was elected Mr. Rike has never given up the fight and his perseverance has at last met with success.” When Postmaster Smith was seen in regard to the change he said: “I shall go out it Rike is confirmed with a clear conscience and clean hands. It has been my highest aim to give the peop’e a good service,"and I am willing to leave the verdict with them.” Mr. Smith has given the cit’ztns a good service, and he retires with the thanks of the public lor the same. Mr. Rike is an untried man, but the public will not prejudge him. If, as we be ieve, he will give the people a good administration of the office, there will be no complain: against him. It is understood that Mr. Leb Dekle will occupy a responsible posi. non under the new management. M*. Dekle has many year’s experience, and will no doubt leave nothing un done to accommodate the public. The business men and the commu nity will besitisfied with a business administration of the office. They have a right io this—and they expect from the new postmaster. Mr, Rike, no doubt, is thoroughly compe tent, and he will doubtless try to please the public in his management of the office. The Proposed Road to Talla hassee. It begins to look as if a new road would be built, connecting I’homas- ville and Tallahassee by rail. O.; this subject the Floridian says; ‘The company proposing to build the Tallahassee Northern railway have pul their proposition on a business basis: The stock subscribed is to be paid in when the first engine passes fivey the completed railroad between Tallahassee and Tbomgsville. “This is a plain, practical, business proposition. The committee held a meeting on Monday, resolved to go to work, and they are taking subscrip tions right along. Thus far they have met with very satisfactory en couragement. “The gentlemen connected with this enterprise have demonstrated to our people that when they undertake a work they push it through, and, in our opinion, no one can doubt that they will build, and speedily, the Tal lahassee Northern, if our people will take the amount of stock desired.” Tae Augusta Road. The last issue ot the Floridian, Tal lahassee, speaking of the prospects of this road, says: “The Floiidian has heretofore made mention of the roads with which Gen. William Bailey of St. Loui*, Mo., is connected. His system is growing, and if he has not recently changed his plans, it will not be many months ere the Augusta and West Florida will be winding in and out among the hills of Leon in search of a gull outlet. The contract tor building the Car* olina, Knoxville and Western road from Augusta, Ga., to Knoxville, Tenn., lias been let to the constiuction company of which James U. Jackson is president, and active work will be gin on the road within sixty days- Gen. William Bailey is alto president of this road. The control of the Carolina, Knox ville and Western has been secured by the Augusta and West Florida, work on which latter road is now progres sing toward Thomasviile. Tncre is a rumor to the effect that before the road reaches Thomasviile the work of construction between Car* rabelle, through Tallahassee, will be well on its way toward the Georgia line, and that ere another winter rolls round there will be direct through transportation over this new route be'- tween the Norlhwes and Carrabelle— through Pullman cars to Tallahassee and the Gulf without change. General Bailey is one of the most successful railroad builders in this great country. He has said that he was going to build h.s road to Talla hassee, and lie will do it if'here is any virtue in pluck, push and unlimited capital.” Railroad Notes.
