J w.it.il jie foni.-nilirts such a state of some men) is an uimiiiiyatod evil, j (ui Wuddell trulv says there and most injuriously affects the ieo : ,lY0 tw ,ia, tU-: in the country, pie living in the rural sections, sub tjJ0 Kt jltll.!icaii ami the IViuocniti' jecting them to ,n cut lnconvciuonce. No branch of our government directly affects tho every day tile ot our people as does tlio postoitice ite- partinent. Proper mail facilities arc a public blessing and the want of them a great inconvenience. Persons residing in the ciths enjoy tho bene fits of every mail facility th.it the government can supply, but they who lire in tho country art not so forUmnto. To the former the fast mail" comes every day with lightniug- Kke s)ced, bringing the papers fresh from the press: to the latter an old blind horse comes stumbling along once a week (when he happens to l.c able to make the trip!) bringing ! news(?) when old and stale. For the convenience of the former letter b.-xes are placed in every portion of the city within easy access of everybody : whilo the latter must trudge through all kinds of weather tie or six miles to tho nearest oilicu. Of course we cannot have fast mail trains and letter boxen throughout the country, nor would we wish to deprive our cities f these postal conveniences, but we can, aud ought to have, greater -co lerity and certainty" (as the wording of all mail contracts roipiires) in the transportation of the mails to i.ur country ofiices. In-lead of this, tl... manner of carrying our mails amounts to a nuisance in most cases, mi l the chief cause of it i.s the system of x.ib letting the cotitracts. We venture to assert that at least three fourths of tho mail contracts in North Carolina are let to sub-contractors. Persons at Washington City make a regular business of obtaining the eonlra.-ts on these "star" routes (as they are called) and then sub letting them to irresponsible persons at so low a price a.4 to render impossible the cjuryiiu,' of the mail with "celerity and e rtniu ty". The government pays an ad" (junto juice, the contract. .r makes a handsome profit, the poor sub-eon tractor sciucely makes enough to feed his old horse, tho mail is carried whenever the old animal is able to make the trip, and the j eoplo siifr much inconvenience. This is the practical working of the sub contract system as is daily illustrated in every county in North Carolina. It surely is a nuisance that should be speedily abated ! 1 31 PORTA N T I EL K15K AT ION. Wo notice in reading the proceed ings of Congress that tho Chicago Historical Society have asked the co operation of that body in the celebra tion, on the 9th of April, at New Or leaus, of the two hundredth anniver sary of tho discovery of the mouth of the Mississijipi river by La Salle. Whilo this event has been of great importance and should bo duly com aiemorated, it fades i..to insignificance when compared with an event, the tercentennial of which will soon draw near we refer to the first land ing of Englishmen in any jnntioii of tho jiresent United States, which oc curred at Roanoke Island in the year 158-1. Yes, in that year, many years . prior to the settlement at Jamestown, Virginia, or the landing of the Puri tans nt Plymouth rock, in Massachu setts, tho expedition of Amidas and Barlow o visited the coast of North Carolina, and the shores of our State were the first land that now consti tutes any pnrt of tho United Slates, upon which tho foot of an English man ever trod. The projiriety of celebrating this event was brought to tho attention of the North Carolina Press Association, at their last con tention, by Co!. U. R- Creecy, and on his motion the following resolution was adopted : n.aiiuni That a committee of , three bo appointed to-ucpaie a.. ml- dress to the people of the United States, and especially of North Cam Una, urging the importance and pro priety of commemorating this greatest event of the historic period of the world, and that ihey submit said ad dress to the nest annual meeting of this body." Messrs.
