Reduction Of Posiase.-Fsom indica-
tons il would appear that The Post Mas
ter General inteu,ends 10 recommend TO
Congress a general reduction Of The ra'es
Postage. Such recommendation would
no doubt receive the appreciation Of the
whole Union. The tariff Of postage wns
fixed al a period when the country wa, in
,bc infancy Of its resources. A revision,
in conformity with the extension Of inter-
course, social aud commercial. has become
bi,bly neccssary-indeed indispensable.
While The rates of travel and iransporta-
lion have fallen prodisiously, the rates Of
hostage Lave experienced no abatement.
The bur,heu on commercial correspondence
from pos,use is, therefore, an impeachment
n business. for with the extension Of lhelold
and the adoption OF new lines Of intercourse
~ the multiplication Of facilities Of commu-
nica,ion, the charges from postage IN the
norregare have undergone more the pro-
por,ionable augmentation instead Of dim
inalion.
We do no, think that the only, oT even
chief consideration in the adjust ment oi
the rates Of postage to the altered condi-
,iou of tho country. should be revenue.
The general circumstances of tho Union
in their progressive change, and not the
so uarinc of The income with The expendi'
,nre of The Posi- Office should be the gov
erniug or guiding principle in such an ad'
;vs,menr. We, however, do no, THINK
iba, a moderate reduction Of the rates ol
hostage will lead to dininution oil the
revenue Of the Post Office. The increase
Of correspondence to which such redue'
tion would lead. must. in n short PERIOD
produce much greater aggregate OF IN

quainied with Mrs. Scott widow of the
late Thomas Beall Scott. Afer several
Intellectual attempts TO gain The consent Of
Tho relatives OF the lady for union in

girl abou, fifteen years Of age, who lived
in the family. She attended school kept
by her father-in law, as pupil, until she
gave birth to a child, on The Sd Of October
inst. The day aller this occurrence. she
appeared iu the village Of Jamestown,
where The school was kept. and aroused q
suspicion in those who had known her sit
uation. A warrant was obtained on Thurs
day last, and Cavanaugh was arrested at
his house. when search was made for The
child. The prisoner stated that the child
had died, and as buried in The garden near
the house. They then proceeded TO disin-
ter the body oflhe child, when The prisoner
in,erfrred. saying ''ihat the body was so
maneled that Il could not be recognized
as human being" The skull mud lower
Jaw Of the infant upon being examined by
DR.. Beall and others, was found broken
and the body otherwise muli!uled. The
Jury upon the case gave q verdict according
10 ihe evidence, 'tha, the child came 10 its
death by violence inflicted by Cavanaugh,
who was fully committed TO Monlgome-
ry county Jail, TO await his trial at the
November term Of The county court for the
murder of the child Of Margaret A. E Scott.
The prisoner is about thirty five years OF
age, Of repulsive appearance, and has
been in this country about nine years. He
has generally borne a bad character in the
