An important decision by Judge Sprague, of
the U. S. District Court. Boston, will be found
on our outside. BY this decision it appears that
the Private Mail establishment, in all cases where
is transportation of Letters IS by Railroad or
Steamboat, is not violation of the Laws Of
Congress- and cannot he made punishable in our
Courts. This opens the broad field of competition
between all the important Cities in the United
States; and, if the decision is sustained by the
Circuit and Supreme Courts, it will serve AS Il
very tolerable substitute for new and Just Law
Of Congrcss-of which at present we are afraid
there is not much prospect, Letters will soon be
carried by these Private Mails from New York
TO Buffalo and from Boston TO Baltimore for five
cents, and to Ncw-Orleans and st. Louis, Chi
cago and Green Bay, for ten. This will pretty
ctfectuay take the business out of the slow and
clumsy hands of Uncle Sam and his dilatory and
cxtor,ionatc mail. drivers and leave Mr.. Wicklfie
at the head of bankrupt and unnecessary De-
partment, barred to the chin in empty mail. bags,
md baited to desperation by starving and super
huous contractors.
