COL. BENTON AND THE FRANK
ING PRIVILEGE.

In commenting some time ago upon the
use made by Col. Benton of the Thanking
privilege, in flooding the West with fyunked
circulars and the prospectus of the Nilsson.
rian, we said we did not pretend to decide
whether he was violating the laws of bis
country or not. Itseems that the Postmas-
ter at Quincy, Illinois, addressed letter
to the Postoffice Department, inquiring
whether the printed circular and prospec-
tus, could be sent by mail, free postage un-
der the frank of Member of Congress-
The following is the answer of the Assis-
tant Postmaster General, from which our
readers can Judge as well as ourself wheth-
err Col. Benton has been violating the laws
of the United States. or not-in other
words, whether the prospectus of the Mis-
sourian is public document printed by or
der of either House Of Congress, or
whether it is to be regarded as his own.-

PoLIrIcAL PAPERs.-The editor Of the
Lexington Express proposes publishing a
paper of an exclusive political nature, I'M
der the title of Harry of the West" du-
ring the ensuing campaign, beginning in
March next, and continuing until the close
of the Presidential campaign.
The editor of the Missouri Statesman
also proposes publishing paper of the
above description, under the title, of That
Same Old Coon" beginning and ending
about the same time.
We intend to issue paper-not under
the title of Harry of the West" or that
Same Old Coon"-but this same old
Times" in which we expect TO advocate
the claims of Harry of the West" and
resent the insults offered to that "Same Old
Coon" by those less "intelligent animals
the locos. We have no doubt but that the
Times" will be one of the most interesting
papers in this or any other State, and the
friends of Harry of the West" and that
"Same Old Coon," could not busy them
selves better than by procuring subscribers
and extending its circulation in the she
nighted regions" of locofocoism.

DFThe Missourian contains the official
proceedings of the great meeting of the
hards of ST. Louis County. Mr.. Van
Antwerp disagrees with his contemporaries
as to the number of persons present-says
he did not count-but there was "great
many" The preamble and resolutions fill
three columns of the Missourian-and are
of the genuine hard caste, evidently pre-
pared by, or under the immediate super
vision of, Col. Benton. We think he wrote
the proceedings himself, as we observe
striking similarity in the style of them and
the proceedings of the Howard county
mceting-and Col. Benton is known to be
their author. The People are moving!

TUESDAY, Dec. 81.
The Senate resumed, in committee Of
the whole, Mr.. Stanton in the chair, the
consideration Of the bill TO amend the
act regulating judgments and executions
passed March l, 1881. This bill,
which is OF great length, makes real es.

as gold and silver except by the State;

tons had been urged against he intro
duction Of his bin. The gentleman from
Pike had been a little more expert than
the gentleman from Pickaway in dis
covering the designs Of the enemy, and
that was all, No valid objections or
reasonable argument had been urged
! The latter gentleman had last evening
declared his Willingness to base his &C.
ton 10 this matter on the bill of the eX
ira session, which proposed to grent an
extension Of ten years, and now he con-
sldered an extension OF one year as mon,
strous, and not 10 be tolerated. The
gentleman had charged that the bill was
sought to be introduced for political pus'
poses. Admitting such was the case,
(which was not true) would il harm one
party 10 ride a hobby more than anoIh'
er? Why could not the Wings play
the same tricks which the other side
had used SO successfully, and which had
been the means Of placing power in their
bandsi Was the gentleman disposed
10 forget the admonitions Of the gentle
man from Knox, in regard 10 the bank
bill Of last session, usually called La.
tham's bill! Mr. P. thought it was best
10 pass a temporary measure, 81 that 10
case there vas no agreement on a new

taken yesterday on the final passage OF
the bill loextend tho charters Of certain

Mr.. McNully thought the melton
could more appropriately be made by

dicted that the bill which was defeated
yesterday, could not be passed without
striking out the individual liability
clause, and the provision requiring the
redemption OF tho notes of the banks in

ferences and divisions 10 the House, In
reference TO tho subject which had been

might be some barn. burners and hypo
c%rltes, and cozening, cheating scoundrels
on this floor, but he was entirely sepa'

and applied no such designations to any
individual or party. He had understood
that the barn burners in the House con.
sisted Of about six members; the head
