TIE PcsTMAsTER GENERAL ON SUNDAY
MAILS.

In reply to letter from Rev. MIR. Lloyd,
Of Phelps, N. Y, the Hon. Cave Johnson,
Postmaster General, returned the following
answer, which we copy from the N. Y, Oh.
server:-
should be gratifed to see the transporta-
tion Of the mails, as well as every other spe-
ces of labor rest on the Sabbath. But the
Postmaster General is the agent of the public
1t is his duty TO make and carry out, as far
as is his power, such mail arrangements as
the wishes and interests of the public re-
quire. The Department does not set on foot
Of its own viii any Sabbath mails, irrespec-
tive of the demands and necessities of the
community; and where il is obliged to re-
quire such service in compliance with such
necessities and demands, il is done, so far as
my personal preferences are involved, with
a feeling of regret. This regret, however,
cannot be indulged in so far as TO set aside
the known wishes and interests of the pub
lie.
Where the stated means of conveyance on
mail routes aIe kept in operation upon the
Sabbath, whether the mails be sent or not,
general aliaeoveuience, and mnch individual
loss and injury would inevitably result unless
the mails be despatched by them. In such
cases 1t is unquesiionably the duty of the
department to forward the mails ON Sunday
When the proprieiors are disposed to with
draw these means of conveyance on that
day, and there is no likelihood of others be-
ing substituted, so as to give facilities to a
lew to the disadvantage and injury of the ma
ny;'htake pleasure in acceding to the arrange
ment so far as the mails are concerned, as
has lately been done upon the line of railroad
between Albany and Buffalo, following the
example ser BY the New York and Boston
and the Boston and Albany lines
The means communication are never with
drawn by the proprietors, but upon the bes'
evidence that the public, or large majority
OF II, are willing to dispense with them. And
nlihough my own feelings, under the infiu
ence OF the considerations alluded TO in yonI
letter, are gratiiied by the suppression OF the
Sabbath mails, my official action in sanction
ing IT, is founded solely upon the conviction
that their withdrawal is in such cases war
ran'ed by the general consent Of the public

LAWYERS ON KissING.-The Providence,
Journal Of Monday contains report Of th'
trial Of Johu Donahue for an assault with az
attempt to kiss one Mary German, whom b
alleges is his second cousin. The Journal
says that the evidence gave rise to some very
interesting questions Of law, especially to
young men. qI
I" The counsel for Mrs. German did not
contend that the usual proposal to kiss lady
was an assault; but the parties should before
proceeding to extremiiies, ascertain beyond
any reasonable doubt that the lady would no.
be unaccommodaine, and especially should
forbear from such attempts in the presence o.
a third party. All men, especially young
men, woull be justfiel in using reasonable
diligence in ascerianing the disposition Of
the lady under such circumstances, but he
must be careful not to press his suit after il
became apparent that his fonluess was not
recipocaied. Cnrrey, counsel forJ Domaine,
did not fully concur with this view Of the
law, but contended that the transaction was
all in gool nature, as far as John was con.
cerned-hat Mra. German was his second
cousin, and there was no intention OF COM
mitiing an assault on his part.
The Court found John guilty., and fined
him 81 and costs. The fact that Mrs Cor
man was the second cousin of John was moi
considered sufficient justification for hi:
persisiing in the prosecution Of his desire
| The court gave no opinion as to what would
have been their decision If he parties hac
been first cousins, or if the kiss had beer
stolen before the lady had objected. With
out meaning to commit ourselves fully on 81
important question, we would intimate th'
opinion that such a state Of facts would be
perfect Justification"

that in both cases the patients are likely to

THE REBELLION IN RUSSIA-THE CHAR
ACTER OF THE EMPEROR.
ST. PErERsBunG. Sept. 10, 1S4


ST. PETERSBURG, Sept 10, lSis.
We have just had a little insurrection, and
even barricades. The following are the de-
tails The cholera had diminished in inten-
sity, but at the commencement of last week
it suddenly broke out anew, and the number
of new cases and deaths increased daily in
an alarming manner. AS it was especially
among the inferior classes that the diseases
made victims, it became rumored that the
noble and the rich, in order to get rid of the
poor, had engaged the physicians to give
poisoned medicine to those attacked. This
rumor becoming generally credited, the in
ferior classes Became so irritated that they
insulted physicians and all well dresses per.
sons in the streets. On Wednesday last, as
semblages took place on the Newa Prospect.
The police called out the armed force, and
the mob constructed three barricades. At
the moment the troops were about to COM
mence the attack the Emperor arrived on
horseback, accompanied by single aid-de-
camp. His Majesty ordered the troops to re-
tire a little, and alighted from his horse. He
a-----. 50,
a sign that he would harrangue The insur-
gents on seeing the Gar, knelt down and
joined the hands, as If about to pray
'.The cholera, my Children" said the En-
peror, s'is chastisement which God inhcts
on men, and which must be submitted to
with resignation. All the rumors of poison
ing are falsehoods, invented by the malevo-
lent and enemies of the people,"
Two of the insurgents commenced a reply
the Emperor, but his Majesty interrupted
them, and told the other insurgents to arrest
them. The Emperor then ordered the troops
to withdraw TO their barracks, and he with
drew. Tire insurgents Immediately arrested
their two companions, and gave them up to
the police after which they demolished the
barricades and peacefully dispersed And
so ended this rebellion, which has not left a
trace behind
