POSTAGE.

In the House, Mr.. King, of Ky, moved to refer a
petition on the subject of postage to committee,
with Instructions 10 report a bill, abolishing the
tranking pririiege. The instructions were rejected.
The Postmaster General has undertaken to re-
strain the Thanking privilege in many respects, with
out reference to the original object and scope OF the
law. The constructions placed on it by his prede-
cessors in office he has repudiated Congress must
do something IN relation 10 these laws but the oppo-
stion Of the Postmaster TO liberal system and the
contracted policy of the members from the interior
States, who are IN favor of that scheme which taxes
the great cities 10 the highest extern will render the
effort abortiye for some time TO come.-WaJingtol
Correspondent Of The Journal Of Commerce.
We clip the above from the Journal Of Com
merce, lin order lhatthepublic may see what these
letter writers are able 10 do, and what they were
willing 10 say of the motives by which the Gin
terror members of Congress" are Influenced.
Wewould ask what has the presen, Poslmas-
ter General done in order to correct The abuses
OF the ranking privilege which has not been
made his duty by law TO do?
Ii is true he has removed several postmasters
for its abuse when made known TO him. He
has instructed deputy postmasters when
they are satisfied that the frank is a forgery, OF
is made TO cover the correspondence of another,
TO charge and collect postage; and if the person
addressed shall after he reads the letter, satisfy
the postmaster that the letter is from person
having right to frank, 10 refund the postage
He has also caused to be published in this pa
per, as an advertisement TO all, the 25th section
of the &C, of 1925, in order that all persons who
have the privilege Of Thanking may see that the
law prohibits, under penalty, the abuse of this
privilege. Has he offended in all this ?
Perhaps this irorthy correspondent of the
Journal of Commerce, finds it more difficult
now TO get his letters franked than formerly
and one Of the Post Office reforms he wants, is
that he may have his letters pass through the
mail under false franks.
We hope the Postmaster General will moi
cease his efforts to check this enormous abuse
and all fair and honest men will sustain him in
his course.

perhaps, more numerous than on any former &C.

the Chief Magistrate of this great Republic
There was not The slightest disturbance or dis
order, that we heard Of, during the day--save
an occasional military button, or star on the
breast OF foreign minister, becoming enlangled
with the ladies fringes. The President, as
usual, gave cordial reception to all classes,
ages, sexes, and politics. And we were
gralifed TO see more than one distinguished
politician there, who, year ago, could not have
been induced TO mngle with the gay crowd on
such an occasion.

Of the state Of affairs in Mexico and Texas Is disclos

able to say that probably The first step towards peace
had been obtained, namely that armistice had been
established between the two powers" Now, the
armistice had been established before narrated,

only have been guessed at by the Minister for the
reason that matters likely to in Texas could

they were passed by he Ian Buren, majority
in The Legislature Of Massachusetts,! Such
