It wist b a natter of Mtoniibmect Wife iaUUigtat rtader who keeps him Mlf ftcqvaiitod witk the proceediugs ia Ooogreu, from day to day, to note th nomtm amount of munir called for by the difftrtnt department! and bureaus with which to carry on their buaioets for the rltcsl year. At nearly every aeeelon tbeee eetimatea are increased, and, o frequently that it haa become a matter of wurw, there ia a large appropriation tiled for to supply deficiencies in the amounts necessary to meet the extraordi nary expenses incurred in be previous fiscal year Emnic Brother Key, rosimaater-uen- ral, has recently sent to Congress a re quest for aa appropriation of $200,000 te sapply deficiencies iacurred iu the past fiseal year. There is undoubtedly more wh!alo corruption practiced in this de t r mi'tif than in any other and we all know to our sorrow that there is enough everywhere. The letting of contract for carrying the mails af frd , splendid chances for interested pirties to turn a penny to their own pro- it. and'th-y seldom fail to take advantage of an opportunity. Ty ner and Brady, the First aud Becond Assistant Post mas tervGeueral, have been first and fore aiost in every movement to squeeze money oat of the Treasury with which to carry "on the business of the depart ment, aut there is now, an indication tbt they may come to grief. At any ratej serious charges have been made rugirdiny; the methods oi letting maill contr.icts and the whole matter is to be ir.veatiii,el. As an illustration ef the way in wbich the people are robbed in this department we give the follow ins;, whicb we-clip from the New York Sun: There is -an undemanding between a certain Coutbiuatiun of contractors and the corrupt lfyu Office officials, by wWch the number of trips and thescfceuule tiwa cn certain ru(c8 are fixed bsioio propo sal ar; dvti fjr. The trips are lew u dumber, say once, twice or three times 19 tUrep miles an hour. Then tha King contractors either put forward straw men to bid very low or bid low themselves. Parsons who could and would perform (he service honestly at a fair price are either deterred from bidding because of the tmall amount of service advertise j for, or tjey bid what they know it to be actual y worth. Too result is, of course, ttut contracts are awarded to the Kiug bid-j dsrs In a very short time they bring tbair Influence to bear, often that ol mem bars of Congress, but nore frequency petitieas are gotten up along the routes, recommending additional expedited ser vice. It is disc etionary with the De partment to allow additional trips and to increase the speed that is, shorten the schedule taue. The Department knows whan it advertises f r proposals just whit service is rq ircd. It has the means ot jiscsrtst jug mis in the mot accurate manner The revenue of the routes is kuowp trxct y The population can be ascertained with approximate exactness. It . tbf teriitory is settling up rapidiy, that is kuuwu, There can be no other puri,He, itieref re, in arranging the atr vice at lewtr trips and slower suhedulu Uioe Hu'i the requirements of the people duaatd rare one, to favor the King contracture. If service is honestly ar ranged to meet the requirement! of the region to be supplied and afterward in creased, the fraud ief twofold. At a further illustration, which we take front the same source, we give an example of' q actual letting and the manner in whicn the service was increased: Route No ol.Wl, Bismarck to Tongue River. Dk ta, was let to J. K. Miner. Thedlstaiic Is 5U miles, the set vice was oace a wet-k,a d the schedule lime eighty. f'Kir b"u s, or three miles per Lour, and the contr c price $,o0. jOij Jau. 1, 1871, two sddi i ut trips were ordered, aud $4, 70 ad led. Then the speed was increased one mile an hour, aud $27, U50 allowed. Ju Aug. 2, 1879, three more trips were ordered, making i six limes a week, and $35 000 add d io trw pay, bringing the price up Irum V-.JoO to 40,000 a year. It Ins uveu developed that on seven Western rautes the increase in the manner Indicated above amoauts to within a traction .f $900,000 over and ( above what the origiuai contracts called for. It "is well-xnOwn that both Tyner and Brady aatared the; Poatoffice Department com paratitery' poor men, and that their sala' alttJitylf of liriug necessary to public oU - 4 . 1m.

We are glad to know that an investiga tion i to take place, and we hope that it may I thoiougb and exhaustive, and the Washington i D. C Dec. 19. 1879. In about twelv days of actual work the CoDgre88 which adjourns to-day over the holidays has made good progress in the traduction of public busii ess. On its return, Jan. 6 b, othej appropriation bills will be ready ta report to the lloue, and members geueraily will be Hteo more ready than now to go kc with t hem. To short, 1 believe there! will be n ob jection to the i r impt pa'asase of all the appropriation bills. 11 I So far the only notiable discussions of the Senate' were on yesterday. The Ser.atM gave up the day tp.Voorhee s reso lutio;j to inquire into trie negro exodus and to amendments suggested by Senator Windom and others. The resolution was finally pastdi but in a shaps that will render it "impossible for any committee to mak a reliable1 report j for years to come. However, this, is not wholly a matter of regret as the tjubject is one the United States has a very j questionable right to interfere with. The one kgreeable feature of the debate, was the excellent temper preserved by all the Senators. Those from the South showed by figures that no one diiputed i that under Democratic rule the negroes of all the States were increas ing in numbers and wealth, and that a greater number i ot them J were under instructions in scnools supported by the States than ever before. The House wasUd the day ia an un availing attemyt to make some disposition ot the Ute Indian question. 1 There was decided opposition to pre cipitate legislation which indicatts, per haps, a wish to adopt luch change in the general management of the Indians as will make legislation on 'special cases as Mr. Hayes would say, unnecessary . Although it has seemed certain from the first that no reviaon of the tariff was pos sible during this i s ssion, members con tinue to suggest commissions to under take such worjk. Probably every intelli gent man believes revision desirable, but, as in relation to changes in the currency, there is a majority of members who believe in Laving, tha people fully edu cated up to the necessary changes, and giving business men plenty of time to prepare for them. I The bill of yesterday was introduced by Senator Garland and provides for a commissionjof three Senators, th-ee Rep resentative?, and 1 three private citizens v ho bbali inquire into and report upon any m ittor of inlfcret connected with the preejs-jt tariff.

Then the Mar hat goes out and says, , A11 ready, Bill; come, Tom, harry up. Jn the army, on the i contrary, this order was reversed, like this: General BotnbaF tes yells out to his aid, 'Go down there to the forks of the road and go though the old boy was after you ask Colonel Sordnot what in he means, so loDg getting into line!
