THE DAILY SPY.
Reduction of Postage.

Hon. Grin Fowler member from this State,
moved in the is. House of Representatives,
a few days since, to reduce the postage on
letters from five to two cents. In his remarks
he gave the following reasons for this reduc.
ton -
1st Ii is the measure that the people ask
Congress TO adopt; and they ask it with sin
gular unanimity. The petitions on your table
are numerous ; they reach hundreds OF thou
sands of our fellow citizens; they are COM
posed of farmers, mechanics, manufacturers,
merchants they comprise the poor and the
rich the unIeanned and the learned, the native
born and the immigrant, the people of every
trade, occupation, and condition-and they
all.ask, with united voice, for two cents. Not
a single petition nor single petitioner asks
for three cents or five cents. Ill, ask for two
cents letter. Let their prayer be granted.
Their well-being and the true glory of the Re-
public will be advanced by giving them bread,
the bread OF knowledge, and not a stone.
I'd. Again urge this measure as founded
upon true policy. 1t will bring all mail mat
ter into the mail, and thus do away with pr-
vate mails, and special expresses for mail
matter, and increase the income ofthe Depart
ment From this source alone, not less, prob
ably, than FIVE hundred thousand dollars will
be made available for postal purposes If you
would suppress private mails you must under
bid them. With your Government facilities,
you can do it. Make the Post Office the
cheapest vehicle of transmitting mail matter,
and you will make it the most popular and
thus, by reducing postage, you will give re-
newed entrgy and ultimate success to your
system.
| I'd. Again: lurge this measure as postal
revenue measure-as the best revenue meas
ure we can justly and safely adopt.
Two cents letter is not so high as TO be
burdensome, nor so low as no, 10 pay the De-
partment tits an ample compensation for
the transportation of letters, and for The post
office labor bestowed upon them.
| The measure has been tried in England,
and tried with complete success. The year
preceding that trial, t1839,) the number of
mailed letters in that country was seventy-six
millions. The first year of the trial, (I840,)
the number increased to one hundred and
sixty-nne millions of letters The eighth year
of the trial, (lS4S,) the number was three hun
dred and forty six millions of letters. Thus
The increase of letters mailed, from 1889 to
l849, was nearly fve-fod In this country
the result, so far as the trial has.been made,
has been similar to that in England, and is
sufficient to warrant the adoption of the meas
ure which propose.

A Beautiful Incident.
BY HON. HORACE MANN,

II once knew young man, who, on re-
moving from the country to the city, was H.
troduced to very respectable circle of per-
sens about his own age, who were in the hab
it OF meeting periodically for the nominal pur.
pose, at least, of conversation and social i'm.
proVement. But any looker-on at their syn
pos'a, might not have been uncharitable had he
supposed that the supper, the wine and cigars,
constituted the principal attraction.
lie became one Of their number, and for
time enjoyed the hilarty, and shared the ex-
pense OF the entertainments but at last re.
bnked by his conscience for this mode Of
spending his time and money, he quietly with.
drew from the club, though without abandon.
ing his intimacy with its members. THROUGH
one of their number he learned the AVERAGE
cost OF their suppers, and taking an equal sum
from his own scantily filled purse he laid il
aside as fund for charity.
AT the end of the season, he found himself
possessed OF hundred dollars, wholly made
up OF these sums saved from genteel dissina-
ton. This amount he took to a poor but most
exemplary family, consisting of a widow and
several small children, all of. whom were
struggling as if for life. and agains, series
OF adverse circumstances, to maintain show
OF responsibility, and to provide the means of
attending The public school.
The besowment Of this sum upon the dis.
heartened mother and latheress children. TO-
ge'her with the sympathy and council that ac
companied IT, seemed to put new heart into
the bosom of them all. Ii proved the turning
point in their fortunes. Some small debts
were paid, the necessary school books and
few articles OF domestic clothing were obtained,
the children sprung forward in their studies,
eqaaling or outslripping all competitors and
at the present time, they are all among the
most respectable, exemplary and useful CHI
zens in the State. Now it would be to sup.
pose myself, no, among men, but among fiends
were 10 ask the question, as doubtful of the
answer, which of these young men, extracted
the greatest amount of happiness from his
hundred dollars! Nor can such charity fail to
benefit him who gives, as much as him who
