The Stale Interest.

The London correspondent, of the New York
Courier and Enquirer says:
"The conduct Of the Pennsylvania Legisla-
lure, in paying only four and half per cent.
interest to those who convert their dividend
certificates into stock, is characterized here in
very harsh terms, as 'mean,' pitilul,' and alto
gether unworthy; evincing either an entire ig-
norance of the nature of commercial obligations,
or wiful disregard of them. The measure of
conversions is considered good one, but the
pal,ry saving of one half Of one per cent takes
from il the credit it would otherwise deserve"

The Delegate Ticket.
OF DAuPHIN COUNTY

The nomin atoms of John Jacoby, James
Vlier, and Samuel Meyers, for the Legislature,
have been received with very little favor by the
freemen of Northampton and Monroe. Great
dissatisfaction prevails among their party in re-
gard 10 them, and from present appearances all
three will he defeated by handsome majoriies
They are Objectionable, personally, as we'll as
from the manner in which they were placed
upon The Ticket Our Information from North

against them, in that county, will be more than
one thousand vores. From present appearan-
ces, Monroe will also record her vote against
them by small ma lorty.

The Cheap Postage Law.

We have been favored, says the Miners
Journal. by Mr.. Cochran, our Postmaster, with
the following statement relative to the business
of The Post Office since the establishment OF
the new law:
Letters sent during the month Of July, 36l2
do do August, 405l
1t will be perceived that there is an increase
of more than four hundred i'm the number sent
during August, over that sent in July The
people are beginning to appreciate the benefits
conferred upon them by the new law, and as
time passes The immense amount OF business
done by the department, will more than make
up the difference between the old and new
rates.
