REroET OF THE POSTMASTER GENERAL.-The
Hon. Cave Johnson is a reasonable public docil-
ment writer; lis ucubrations in the main, have
much sense In them, and show how much lie
learnt during the four years he has been in Of

The Post Office revenue under the reduced
rates is rapidly increasing, and amounted during
the last fiscal ycal to S1,411 or; exceeding the
annual average oc the nine years Immediately
preceding the passage Of the reducing act, &c.
453, and exceeding the revenue ortlle year mi
mediatcly preceding the last, Si25, lsi.
The letter postage amounted to 50 .55o,304
exceeding that of the previous year $685.
The newspaper postage amounted to $751;
S34. being an increase of Sl24,l7I.
Among the most prominent recommendations
whlci, it SETS forth, arc thesc:-To make tic
rate postage uniform !or letters at five cents Il
half ounce, for newspapers, at one cent the ounce
for periodicals Two cenis the ounce; and for r.
cign letters, fifteen cents the alfounce; the to-
tai abolition of the ranking privilege; u o pc.
pnvmcni oial ma,l matter; and lastly, change
in the tenure Of the office Of the Postmaster Gcr
