constituents, they economised the wages of the poor
fellows who are appointed to sleep in door WAYS

shostsiarmed cap.a-pe with truncheon, and cudgel-
proof cap in certain portions Of the streets of our
city The election, however approaches, and these
men have votes; the city fathers by the reduction
gained credit tor being careful old codgers and
now, as will be seen by their reported doings last
night, they gain the affections OF the watchmen by
increasing their wages and restoring the back pay
which was stopped from the month of May last
This ID a movement and device which gives proof

polite genius who is fitted for more august
and extended sphere. Cours and kingdoms and
not Common Council chambers and a city, should
be his sphere of operation. The amount which is
thus voted away in shillIngs said will amount to
the sum OF $1,000, and hence it will be seen they

that the arrest Of LouilIiser and Judge Hall

POSTAGE REFORM. E.--lt isl probably known 70
most Of our citizens, that there have been
at Washington latterly, divers consultations
between the Postmaster General and The
PostmasteTs Of several Of our most eminent
cities. These c0nYocations have resulted
in conclusions to propose that:
I. The rates Of letter postage ara 70 be
greatly reduced. Ten cents % Be the high-
est rate charged for conveying letter from
any point 70 any point within The y. States.
We believe the only minor rate IS to be sUe
cents FOR distances short Of 200 Of 25C
miles, but o. this point our iufOEmatiOn is
not definite.
2. The franking privilege is 10 be greatly
reduced. PostmasteFs may frank letters
strictly confined to the business Of their re-
spective Offices, and none others; while the
letters sent without payment By and to the
executive departments, members Of Con-
gress, Sc, are TO be charged to the govern

we love not to doubt that these important
changes Of reform viii be readily concuTred

tsntion from eli quarters, and much anxiety
is felt tO-ssS the result Of the COuFtof In
quify that i now investigating the matter.
The testimony thus far completely corTobo.
rates the statement Of Commander Mckenzie,
and shows farther and still farther a. il pro-
crosses, the absolute necessity Of the prompt
and awful measures which were resortod 70
in order 70 save the Somers, her officers and
crew. Every day seems 70 throw more ligh.
upon the subject. The New Orleans Tropic
Of the i9ih inst. contains staternentpf the
FIRST mate Of the ship Gen. Parkhils upon
which a mutiny occurred az s.. Marks in
February, 1889. in which he says, that before
tho Somers sailed from New York, he saw
on board Of her q seaman whom he recOg'
nisOd as one Of the mutinosrS Of the General
Parkhile; that he Afterwards endOavOred "a
20 on board the Somers to inform her Com
mandent Of the circumstances, but the officer
Of the deck refused him admitlancs on board
after being seen and recognised BY ;he sea
man. The presumption now is, that Spen'
