RATES OF POSTAGE ON PRINTED
MATTER BIT THE BREMEN LINE.

We are authorized to say that the Postal
Convention between the United States and
bremen, has been SO modified that pamphlets,
magazines, and other printed matter as well as
newspapers, may be sent in narrow bands
open at the sides or ends, by the Bremen line
OF steamers from the United States, to any
point beyond, as well as to Bremen, belonging to
the German Austrian Postal Union; and cice
rersa, from any such point to the United States.
On newspapers sent from the United States
by the Bremen line, the postage is three cents
each, prepayment required. This pays in full
to any part Of the German Austrian Postal
Union. Any postage accruing on newspapers
beyond the German Austrian Postal Union,
must be collected at the points of delivery.
Newspapers receiced by the Bremen line, are,
in like manner, fully prepaid.
On pamphlets, magazines, and other printed
matter, Except newspapers,) postage Of one
cent an ounce, or fraction of an ounce, must
prepaid at the mailing Office when sent from,
and collected at the office Of delivery when re.
ceived IN the United States. This is the
United States postage only.

rumor prevailed at Washington, few
days ago, that Santa Anna had been assassi-
mated. 1t was supposed at the time to be false,
and has proved so but it is evident that the
government of the dictator is tottering to its
fall. The total number Of votes at the late
presidential reelection was 435,530 for Santa
Anna, and 4,075 against him yet, at the very
time this apparent decision of the nation was
given, every province OF Mexico was heaving
with revolutionary throes The last dates
which we have from the city Of Mexico are to
the 9th instant, at which time affairs there
were proceeding nearly as TRANQUILITY as at any
previous period but provincial government
had been formed at Acapulco with Alvarez at
its head, and the revolutionists Of Tehuante-
pee had declared in his favor. A Vera Cruz
correspondent of the New Orleans Picayune,
under date February Z, gives the names of the
revolutionary government as follows: Presi.

away the little prestige of military strength he
still retained, and as the different revolutionary

ship of Alvarez, we should not be surprised at
any time to hear that the Mexican government
had definitely passed into new hands, though
into HOY much better ones may be question.

MILE. RACHEL CoMNG.--A Paris writer
says: The engagement with Mile. Rachel to
visit the United has been signed by all parties.
She will be paid 100000 francs for two hun
dred representations, to be given wherever may
be deemed proper; that is to say, six thousand
francs, 1920, for each representation. Six
hundred thousand francs will be deposited at
her bankers in Paris, before the departure,
which, in case Of her being shipwrecked, re.
verts to her family. But if Mile. Rachel dies
during the course OF the two hundred repre-
sensations, stree she literally belongs body and
soul to the entrepreneurs, they have a right 10
expose her corpse from city TO city to whoever
may desire to see it. And this property need
not be rendered until it shall have procured
the two hundred receipts specified by the con.
tract.
We have not the slightest doubt that either
dead or alive Madame Rachel will prove los.
ing speculation to those who have made this
ridiculous bargain.

Excitement in Cincinnati SchooI-Ex-
pulsi0n OF Negro Pupil.


The Cincinnati Commercial of Friday says
There was great excite.ent in the Seventh
District yesterday, concerning the determine
ton Of Miss Newhall, that a colored boy, who
had been in attendance in other departments Of
the school, shall not be admitted into hers.
The boy was regularly pupil for some months,
and nothing was said of it until he was trans
ferred to Miss Newhall's room, when she sent
him home with a note, informing his mother
that he would not be permitted to remain longer
in the school. The mother who is light mu-
latto, inquired the reason, and Miss N. laid the
matter before the District Trustees, who told her
that she must receive the boy, and she persisted
in refusing to do SOL
The Gazette Of Tuesday states the matter
was laid before the School Board subsequently,
and that Miss Newhall, after an exciting debate,
was sustained in the course she had pursued.
The boy who called himself quadroon, was
expelled from the schools, the Board deeming
that colored schools were provided for those
tinged with negro blood.

General HOustOn,s Lecture.

The public announcement Of lecture from
the hero Of San Jacinto, called forth an audi
ence which nearly filled Niblos spacious saloon
last evening. The lecture was one of course
before the New England Young Mems Asso-
citation; and General Houston selected as his
subject the american hndians--a theme upon
which he is thoroughly informed, and out Of
which he made very interesting lecture. He
commenced by remarking that the aboriginal
inhabitants of America were people no less
interesting that neglected in our country. Their
history was familiar to one and ALL They were
the original proprietors of the soil; but the
enterprise and the cupidity of the white man
had expelled them from their domain. He re-
marked that they were intelligent by nature,
and susceptible of q high degree Of Improve.
ment. Top prove this, it was only necessary to
60 back to the time of Pocahontas, when there
were illustrious and distinguished untutored
men, who, by the mere force of native genius,
successfully combatted with the white man.
Red Jacket was an ilustrious man; and in the
war of 1872, the great Tecumseh proved him
self not inferior to the English in generalship
and indomitable courage. He fell pierced
with the enemy's bullets but he fell like true
warrior, with his feet to the enemy and his
back to the earth. The Cherokees, the Chica-
of refinement and civilization which will COM
pare favorably with the white man. " But"
said the speaker, what has the Government
of the United States done for the Indians |?
1t is estimated that one hundred millions Of
dollars have been appropriated to them in ex-
change for their lands; but how much of this
has the Indian received? Instead Of these
appropriations beings means Of cvlizing and
Outstanding him, it has been rather a means
of depravng him and sweeping him away, like
chaff before the wind. They have never re-
allied benefcially twenty millions of this
money but it has been swallowed up in the Gu
pidity of the agents. Until men of honesty
and experience are placed on our frontiers
to negotiate with the Indians we shall have
nothing but agitations and hostilities. A policy
of peace never failed to give quiet and security
to our frontiers, but an adverse policy never
failed to bring about an opposite state Of
affairs. 1t has been so in Texas for the lasl
fifty years; and it will ever be SO until the
Indian treaties are secured from violation.
The Indian tribes never violated treaty from
the time the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth to
the present day."
The General alluded to the Florida war, and
remarked that it cost the country about forty
millions of dollars, lost number Of lives, but
brought US no glory at all. He spoke Of the
policy pursued towards the Indians in the DAYS
of Madison, Jefferson, Monroe, and jackson !;
and remarked that the name of Jackson to
this day created thrill in the Indians bosom.
When he was umpire and controller of their
destinies, ne was yet just and magnanmous to-
wards them-he was "eyery inch a man."

#"The letter of the 18th it would not do for the
Dutch to produce against me. In the first
place, it was written while actually in prison,
and would, therefore, be subject to the susp
cion of having been ,extorted. In the second
place, it breathed too much of the heroic, while
the aim Of the Dutch was to represent me as
weak impostor, and thus destroy the impress
sion which it was supposed had made on the
impressible Malay mind
"To obvate these difficulties, and destroy my
hold upon the minds Of the natives and the
sympathy Of my countrymen, this letter of the
18th was written, as charge, by the procure
ment Of the Netherlands India government.

off any further proof Of the spuriousness Of
the letter of the 25th is required it will suggest
itself to every mind that considers it atten-
lively. The last person who consistently with
what we know of human nature, could make
such confession, would be the man guilty of
the crimes confessed When an instance con.
Trajectory of this is presented, new fact will
be added to the history Of human eccentricity.
The blow which was sought to be dealt on
me by this fabricated letter,is the severest that
per6dious luminosity could conceive. 1t aimed
at once to brand me with crime and cowardice,
and thus to detach from me those numerous
and generous friends who have surrounded me
since my return to this country, and who have
sustained me by their sympathy and their
counsels. It is, however, cause of congratu.
lation that this base proceeding of the Dutch
government has strengthened my hold upon
the regard of my friends, and has found little
sympathy in this country.

yours, WALTER M. GIBSON"

Curious Scene I'm a Know-nothing Council.
Moses Eames, q Know-nothing member of the
Legislature Of New York, publishes letter
describing his reception in Know-nothing
Council in Syracuse, after voting for VIM. H
Seward for United States Senator.
Mr.. Barker informed the Grand Council that
would make explanations in relation to my
vote cast at the last election. While was pro-
ceedng to do so, one of the members asked me
for whom voted for United States Senator /?
When | replied VIM. III. Seward, it created a
great excitement in all parts of the hall. Some
twenty or thirty, more vehement than the rest,
rushed forward to the platform, kissing, stamp.

their arms with clenched fsts crying out with
countenances flushed with excitement, sTraitor. .
"Perjurer," LIAR" Villain and other cpl
thets, accompanied with their exclamation.
"hustle him out" "down stairs with him. y
throw him out of the window" &C., &c.
BY this time the meeting was in a complete
uproar. The presiding officer could not con-
troll those present, and declared the meeting
adjourned for enc hour. There was then a
general rush for the platform where was stand.
ing. Some Of the foremost seized my collar,
but, by the exertion Of few personal friends,
was saved from further violence, by being,
with great haste, escorted down private stair
way, while others closed the doors and kept
back the mob. When reached the street Mr..
Barker advised me to go to my hotel, and not
to show myself about the place, but to leave
the city in the first conveyance. Having no
other business to attend to, took the advice
and left Syracuse in the first train.
