The NEW PosT OFFICE BILL-We learn from
Washington that the Post Office bill, reported
by Col. Merick, has received one or two important
amendments, Newspapers are to go through the
mails as merchandise, and all exchanges to 60 free.
That relative to newspapers going merchan-
die is very important alteration from the original
bill, and will become very popular. Intelligence
distributed throughout the country at much a
hundred weight is far better than to charge and
two cents sheet, small sheet the same as a much
larger one. This, therefore, is a capital amend
ment.
In relation to free exchanges, we do not care a
fig one way or the other. We would as soon pay
for them as to receive them for nothing.

very probable and the sooner every one who has
got bill OF that bank gets it redeemed gets rid of
1t somehow, and refuses to take any Of them here
after so much the better will it be for their pock-
cts II ought not to be forgotten for moment that
this institution is only the legitimate successor of
the attempted to be recuscitated Jacksonville
Bank, Florida, and is exercised in the same hands
merely as a shaving machine to grind the poor and
needy mechanics Of this city, and no other earthly
purpose under heaven.
