Manager.— 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 It is not within the nature of the ■ending back to tbo Confederate armies healthy, vigorous men, and getting starred and ,lck ones in exchange, the disproportion In itrength of the two side, would ho dlmlni libed and th. Confederates would thereby he belter enabled to continue the war. Upon thta theory the administration acted, and they alone were responsible for the act.” II this needs any support it may bo found in the “Committee on the Con duct of the War” report by General B. F. Butler. Butler states that Grant verbally ordered him to decline ex changes, and later, on April 30,1884, telegraphed him to receive all the sick and wounded thrown upon his hands by the Confederates, but to give none in Colonel Robert Ould, Confederate Southern people tobe informers, n'o'r I exchange, testifies that he have they been educated up to any ^red * band T*aSSZ TTn‘ such practice; consequently they will ■»* »nd d.sabled Un- uot be apt to flood the office of Mr>" , if the government Vilas with written charges M would furnish transportation, and tb-‘ to the personal or political »“• transportation was delay conduct of Southern paymasters.

Wo confess that we do not understand what kind of chivalry it was that John Pope, Generals Meade, Terry and oth ers displayed towards our people, and wo are in the dark as to the “forget fulness” for which we should be thank- ful. The South has said and done nothing of which she is ashamed or afraid, nor for which she is disposed to ask the "forgetfulness” of anybody, especially an officer of the United States army who assisted in reconstruction. But perhaps Csptain Blonnt delivered his eloquence rapidly, like John C. Cal houn; bo rapidly that the reporter thought he looked like the great Caro linian and could not -catch his words. Thomas Esaos, the electrician, hrs made an important invention, to be ap plied to railway trains in motion. The new device is intended to permit engineers of trains to communicate easily with one another when the trains are a mile apart and In motion. The medinm of communi cation is the telegraph wires along the railroad and an inatmment in the engi neer’s cab. The appliance is designed to prevent colfliions in foggy weather at curves or on terminals. It resembles the telephone in some leepects. Flagmen and depot-watchers can also nse the Instru ment to communicate with approaching or passing trains, no matter at what speed they may be running. Teats were made a few days since of the new invention, which are said to have been extremely euc- cesatul. The device Is being patented In Europe, and will be publicly exhibited in about two weeks.

Oi 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.

He says: "I was opposed to the law creating tho com mission, and have never seen anything to cause me to change my views. I regard 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 thority to nsmo the appointees ot certain classes of clerkships under the government; bnt, on the contrary, 1 hold that the heads Oi departments, the men who are moat in terested in the snccesstnl administration oi the departments, shonld have the right to select their own subordinates.
