They arc now but partially suspended, and that where they m@y be discontinued with the least inconvenience to the country.
 The progressive increase in the income i from postages has eqaalIed the highest ex- pectations, and it affords demonstrative evi- denee of the growing importance and great utility of this department The details are exhibited in the accompany report of the Postmaster General.
 hc many disiressiae accidents which which have of late occurred in that portion of our navigation carried on by steam power, de serve the immediate and unremitting atten- ton of the constituted authorities oi tEe country. The fact that the number of those fatal disasters is constantly increasing, not withstandlng the great improvements which are every where made in the machinery employed, and in tie rapid advances which have been made in that branch of science, shows very clearly that they are in a great degree the result of criminal negligence on the part of those by whom the vessels are navigated, and to whose care and attention the hFes and property ot our citizens are so extensively entrusted.
 That these evils may be greatly lessened, if not substantially removed, by means of precautionary and penal legislation, seems to be highly probable; so far, therefore, as the subject can be regarded as within the constitutional paGview of Congress, 1 ear nestly recommend 1t to your prompt and se rious consideration.
 1 would also cal your attention to the views l have heretofore expressed of the propriety of amending the Constitution in relation 10 the mode of electing the Presi- dent and Vice President of the United States. Regarding 1t as all=important to the future quiet and harmony Of the people that every intermediate agency in the election of these officers should be removed, and that their eligibility should be limited to one term of either four or SIX years, ] cannot too earnestly invite your consideration to the subject.
 Trusting that your deliberations on all the topics of general interest to which 1 have adveried, and such others as your more extensive knowledge of the wants of our beloved country may suggest, may be crowned with success, tender you, in con- clusion, the cooperation which 1t may Dc iii my power b afford tbem.

 By the way, here IS an extract from let ter which we received by last mail, from Johnson county. It goes to corroborate what we were talking about at our last sit l ting.
 '.Ihe people are very much displeased at the division of the county. In Johnson county, the people are so much enraeed, that they would, (were he worthy of so much dfstsitcttoa,) tar asad feathe,' their rrn- resentative, Garrett. In Pope, tho people seem not to care so much about 1t. They are at a loss to know here (Johnson) when the election for county officers should take place. Garrett can give them no infor1na- ton All he knows about if, is, that he was pfeposteroas on the bill. Garrett may say with Wolsey; ssFarewell-s-a long fare- well to all my greatnessp He could not, in truth, get len votes in this county fer any office. All unite in denouncing him as n i fool by nature and rascal by instinct.---- His only object in dividing the county was to have tine county seat at his house. .i' i ne people resolve, however; that he shall be foiled.n
 After al! t t w::l! teach the pee,!e ..eve. l again to put such man over the head of an old and tried servant It will be good lesson.

For #charity's sake we are inclined to spare the Governor-because, as the end of his reign now draws nigh, and he is becoming useless to the party, he cannot count on much sup port from the Gazette.

Johnson county, Dec. 20M, 1888.
 lsir. GDifoR--isis5ii ii5iii ii yoti bo so good as to inform the public why the laws, ,aakia 2 near eofestieS, have not been published by the Public Prnter-Wm. X. Woodruff? The people in Scott and Johnson counties are at q total loss to know when their elections conc on for county odieers Etis now the 20th of December, and tie laws making said counties have not been published in the Gazette. What excuse can the Public Printer offer! He can offer none. He should have published the most impolfa,at laws in his paper, immediately after receiy- ing copy of them from the Executive which he has had ia his possession, if am rightly informed, for six or eight weeks. = I anxiously examined the Gazette of llth December, confidently expecting to find the law dividing Pope county-.judge my sur prise, when ] found the paper to contain sundry diporce and relief laws, to the ercl,- sson of the important laws have mentioned. well recolect, that two years ago, this fellow set up piteous howl against Ber- tfand fer not publishing the laws in sea- sonable time--even beforc the laws had been placed in his hands by the Executive, for publication. What has the people gain ed by hi8 election He is more iardy in the discharge of his duties than Bertrand was. Bertrand excused himself by telling the public that has paper had ,ros short, in consequence of the neglect of his agent But Woodruff can offer no eccu8e-for, if recolIeet aright, he tocsted of his abttity to complete inc public prin ting in a less tsras than any other printer in Arkansas. Bfag is very good dog-but Holdfast, it is said, Is a better one.
 The people up this way are very anxious to saeap back again-they say they would rather risk BERTRAND, if even half that is said of him be true, than half dozen such little c!oclE-pedding Yankees as Woodruff Now, l do not mean, by this expression, to denounce the Yankees coliectively--Garfrom it. On the contrary, much admire them as a people. But, Woodruff, you know, is of the 6iae Jelly sort -the worst kind of Yankee.

 If the intelligence of the recognition q Dona Maria by the Spanish Government stated by our correspondent from Paris, and contained in the following extracts be true, it is an event which will exercise an iln- portant influence on the destnies of Spain and Portugal.
 Ihe Kingdom of Navarro has been de- claHed by the Governor of the Queen in a state of siege. A Col. Francisco Beneto de Eraso has issued proclamation ealing on the people of Navarro 10 take arms in SUD- port oi' the legitimate rights of Don Carlos to the throne.

 Paris, Oct. 23.-Thc constitutional party in Spain may take courage. Events in the Ibefian peninsula are taking such turn as To give birih 10 new hopes. whatever may be the intentions of Queen Christina and her ministers, whatever may be the bad feelings entertained by the diplomatists of the north, nothing can prevent Spain ob- tainIng constitution, reform.
 On the first perusa of the manifesto ad- dressed by the Queen to the Spanish pco- pie, we certainly saw no reason to hope for radical reform, but many circumstances have since occurred, which have changed all the original intentions of the Regent The rapidiy with which the insurechon rose at Bilboa and spread itself in Navarro, has induced the Queen to enter entirely into tho policy of the English and French Gov emments as regards Portugal. h cen sequence we yesterday leaned the acknowl- edgenent of the Queen Dona Maria hy the new Spanish Government.

care, and with no small amount of interest,"
With Henry, and Scott, and Clarke, and Cal
nut, &C, from whose valuable labors the work
has been compiled, | have long been familiar:
and as it has concentrated and suitably arrang-
ed, all the most important and profitable matter
to be found in each of these, and as the Theo-
logical views which it exhibits, are strictly Evan
g%elical, | cannot help regarding it as one ofthe
most useful Commentaries, for families, Bible
Glasses, and Sunday School Teachers, that has
ever been published:-and as such | have no
hesitation in cordially recommending it. The
only thing strange about it is, how so much in
teresting and important matter has been crowd
