We receive letters quite frequently from our SUBJ
scribers, complaining that paper does not reach
them regularly. We assure them that their papers
are mailed in proper time at this Office, and that the
fault is not here. 1t must be elsewhere, along the
lines at the other Offices. These complaints have
been more numerous of late than usual. AS gen.
eral rule the Postmasers of this State attentive
and obliging, and perform their duties in an accept
able manner to all concerned but there are some
who form an exception to this rule. Let them look
it in time. Their neglect and inattention cannot

the late Legislature for having spent long session
and done little business. We would remind our

Equal SUFFRAGE TRIUMPHANT! At last, after a
desperate effort of the ederasts defeat it, the Equal
Suffrage bill has passed triumphrntly through both
branches of the Legislature. At first it passed through
the House with comparative !; but when it came
stitu,ional majority. At this Col. Joyner an old Fed
erast, raised shout of exuation, excaiming GIo-
ry enough for one day - Afterwards, however, Mr.
Washington, whig who has some regard for the
voice of the people, moved reconsideration; and it
passed. The Constitution requires that it shall be
concurred in by the next Legislature, and then sub
mitted to the people for their ratification Gifts fnal
success one need now entertain doubt.
On this question:, as well as all others that came
before them, " old Lincoln " members performed
their whole duty. Lincoln Republican.
