Cheap Postage.

Ma EDITOR How is il that so little Is said on
the particular relation of the fanking system 10 this
question: As it strikes the point to be pressed H.
not much that the frank should be abolished, tina,
its expense should be charged to the whole country
instead ITO the postage payers. 1t seems right that
Government officers congressman, &c should not pay
for their necessary oihcisl rrespondence-but II
ought to be charged the contngen, fund Just as Is
the case with the hostages Of our state Legislatures The
inequality Of the present arrangement Is that the Gee
araenf burdens the Posi- 0Hes with the expense Of It's
postage Why should the Post Ofice be charged with
this expense any more than the merchant marine with
the expense OF the United States Navy, which 10 kept
up mainly for It's protection Were the burden laid
where II on ght TO be there might Do ess opposition 70

the ghost Of Pacheco still hsunts u.s. and the Civil
and Diplomatic Appropriation bill is hardly half
considered in Committee The preliminary de
bate is stopped, and no Member now speak
except 10 his own amendment, and then but five
minutes before the Chairmans hammer knocks
him down and yet the hours roll YEARLY away,
and many items of the bill remain 10 be gone
over.
The spirit OF talk is Unsuitable. One Member
offers an amendment, talks Tor rather screams his
FIVE minutes, is raped down, and withdraws his
proposition but another renews it, or tifit be not
Withdrawn proposes some immaterial amend

rejected and the House wen, But the hour
Of had nearly arrived, almost three hours had
been devoted to legislation, the everlasting hang
backs W ere all dreadiully fatigued and the Com
mittee decided to rise by close vote. That TN
ished the day and now nearly the whole Of next
week IT'LL Friday will be required for the periec-
tion and passage of this bill. There are several
other Appropriation bills behind it. When shall
we find time for Postage, Land and other Reforms
