An Unnecessary Delay.
The Washington correspondent of the
New Orleans Picayune, one of the very
few correspondents at that point who
is a highly cultivated and entirely re
sponsible gentleman, writes:
The greatest delay is occurring In respect to
the (ourth-clais postmasters, where owing to
the Idea o! having a trial o! each caae on
charges, It la not possible to make any rapid
progress in disposing oi the most o( nearly
60,0 0 incumbents. These cases are wholly
within the discretion o( the Postmaster-Gene
ra, and there la no reason why another rule
cannot be adopted.
The cause of the delay is correctly
stated, and the suggestion that the rule
should be at once abolished Is pregnant, j ex ^, u f n _®’ e 1

prevent colfliions in foggy weather at

depot-watchers can also nse the Instru

passing trains, no matter at what speed

Wesleyan College- ,
This is commencement week, and
the friends of Wesleyan, the mother ot
all female colleges, may well feel a
thrill of pride when they contemplate
the largest graduating class ever gath
ered upon her boards.
We hail it as a good sign, a sign that
times are easier, and the acquisi
tion of knowledge more of
an object when this fine
institution flourishes so extensively.
It is the natural educational centre of
learning in the South Atlantic and Gulf
States, and its condition is an index to
the times. Wo shonld like to see even
its present largo attendanco doubled
and its already extensive influence
for good in tho land increased in pro
portion.
There is one thought in connection
with Wesleyan College that should be
expressed. In this fine city of ours we
have a society and a moral sentimen
distinct from and far superior to most
Southern communities. It is hard to
describe it, but the effect of this sen
timent is seen in conservative as op
posed to radical and speculative
methods; in the supremacy of an east
ly determined public opinion; in law
abiding citizens; in sure and steady
growth of business and public and pri
vate institutions. To sum it all up, tho
tone of Macon is admirable and distinct
from many seemingly more enterpris
ing and ambitions centres.
Whence comes this tone? We be
lieve that it is the result of refinement
and edneation, the influence^of the
city’s mothers. The touch of the old
college on tho hill, if we mistake not,
is the clearest and the gentlest upon
the city’s pulse to-day. Long may
Wesleyan flourish.

Senator Harris, of Tennessee, has a'level

it as a humbug, calculated to do more mis
chief than good. I am epposed to the
commission; that Is, I don’t think that
tho three commissioners should have au

classes of clerkships under the government;

oi the departments, shonld have the right
to select their own subordinates. I don’t
think it follows that, because an applicant
tor a clerkship passes a successful exami
nation on subjects that are most foreign to
the scope of his official duties, he will make
a better or as good a clerk as one who Ib
deficient in the classics and higher mathe
matics, bat who writes a good hand, is
intelligent and has had some experience
in clerical work.”

The Chronicle's cotton article of Jane

tive to the movement ol the crop tor the
past week:
For the week ending this evening
(June 12), tho total receipts have reached
4,729 bales, .gainst 3,917 bales last week,
0,991 bales tbs previous week and 7,429
bales three weeks since; making the total
receipts since the lit of September, 18S-1,
4,710,007 bales, against 4,772,088 bales tor
the eame period ol 1883-84, ebowlng a de
crease since September 1,4884, ot 02,613
bales.
The receipts at all the interior towns tor
the week have been 4,881 bale,, sine,
September 1st, 2,699,797 bales. The re
ceipts at the same towns have been 401
bales less than the same week last year,
and since September 1st, the receipts st
all the towns are 237,183 bales less than
tor the same time In 1833.
Among the Interior towns, Macon is
credited with 48,213 bales tor the season.
Last year the receipts for the season were
88.991 bales. These figures show a fall,
ing oil tor the season ol 11.680 bales.
