THE GrlLLoTrNE.-Dr. r. NJ. S. jackson,
the physician at Cfesson, Penn, with whom
Senator Sumner stayed during his visit to
the Allegheny mountains for his health was
also postmaster Of the village. lilo has Just
been removed from that office, pro baby as the
penalty of his hospitality and sympathy
towards his distinguished guest. The
Springfield Republican says;
Several democratic postmastcrs in Worcester coun.
ty, who have joined the republicans. and voted for
Fremont have paid the price with their official heads
francis Howe, postmaster at Brookfeld, is displac
ell for Alexander Bri gham Julius f. Tucker ut
Charlton depot makes WY for Daniel S. Hall and
William Il, Hin Of Wilkinsonville for Jonas Brown
How intimate and perfect watch does the national
government keep up over the nteres Is, of its con-
situents that it thus guards the village post Offices
from the inroads Of fanatical frcc-thnkng and in.
dependent voting We talk wonderingly Of the
far-reaching and quick working police system Of
Paris md st, Petersburg, but these arc not more
unerring and rapid in developing crime and its per-
petIatOrs than the post Office department of this
country is in ferreting and crushing out any un-
soundness in the 10000 petty post Offices Of the
land on the great negro question.
Berkshire county also receives attention from the
argus-cycd Pouches that preside over the post
Offices. George A. Laplam, for fourteen ycaIspost
master at South Adams, has been very unexpected
ly removed, and Daniel Jerks 2d app inted. There
vas no local demand for the ohange-not ten voters
in the village would probably have petitioned for
the old incunbcnts removal but this only shows
how much better fitted tho rulers Mt Washington
are to protect the interests Of the people than the
people themselves

TIE NEw YoRK UsuRr LAw.-An attempt
is again made in the New York Legislature
to remove all legal restrictions on loaning
money, The pith of the bill introduced into
the Senate for that purpose is in the first
section, which is as follows
IS !. No grant, tran fcr, bond, note, bill Of e1-
change, contract or agreement loan, or forbear-
ance Of any money, goods things in action, shall
be void by reason of any paying or receiving, or
agreement to pay or allow such rate Of interest as
the parties may agree upon"
Other sections provide that the rate of in
tercst shall be seven per cent where no
agreement is made and on judgments after
the date Of the rendition thereof, but in
practice those checks would amount to very
little, On the proposed measure the Troy
Wing remarks thus sensibly
Every year there is an effort made in tho Legis
lature to help monoy-lenders 10 more than per
cent. That public sentiment is almost entirely
averse to any such change, the repeated failures Of
all the attempts, would seem to show. Petitions
for the desired change do not como from the country
hut from New York city. They are not signed 6y
those whose business relations make them borrowers,
but by those who have established themselves in

REELECTION or SENATOR SUMNER TO have
doubted that Mr.. Sumner would be returned
to his scat In the Senate, would have been
to insult the Old Bay State by doubling her
honor, her courage. her sense of dcccncv.-
The almost perfect unanimity, with which
he has been reelected by the Massachusetts
House of representatives., cannot but be
gratifying to every lover of his Country or
humanity. The vote was taken IN the House
on the 9th and stood for Charles Sumner, 1873,
scattering, -. These twelve votes were d.
vided between Edward Everett Rufus Choatc,
VIM. Appleton and n. j. Lord. 1t is
proper that the twelve men who threw
them be pillorcd by exposure to the pity and
contempt of mankind. The list, as gwen in
the Boston papers. is as follows
Henry Bradley, oe Tishurv Isaac s PnrriiI
Aliilh W. Draper, Thomal Farmer, Jr., VIM. s.
King, Amos Stevens, Of RoXbury John Lewis,
Richard Ramsdell, Of Marblehead IIoratio Moore
Of Walthpn James Lee, Jr., Seth l.. Loring,
Timothy Z. Sawyer, Of Charlcstown.
We are glad that We can recognize none OF
these names.
The Senate voted on the 18TH unanimously
for Mr.. Sumner, who thus goes hack to
Washington with an endorsement such as is
rarely given to any man.

TERRITORIAL LEGISLATION. - Washington,
Jan, l2.-ihe Committee on Territories have
prepared a report adverse to the petition of
citizens Of Carson Valley, asking for the an
nexation Of that portion Of Utah territory
to California. One of the reasons for refusal
is that California is too large already, and
would he made moro unwieldy hv such an
extension OF its boundaries. The Committee
believe that some measure Of wider scope is
necessary to effect a cure Of the evils of which
the citizens of Carson Valley complain, viz,
Mormon expressions, and Accordingly recon-
mend the passage Of the the bill now on the
calender for the prevention and ,uni,h-
mcnt Of higamy. This, they add, would re-
move tho moral and political pcstilence which
makes Utah the scandal Of the American
people.
The Committee on Territories have also
prepared an unldvornblc report on the pcti-
ton tor the organization of n territorial gov
crnment in Arizonlin the Gadsdcn purchase
From tho statements to the Committee
there appears to be from 5000 To 10 900 in
habitunts therein, and, by the lowest csti-
mate from 5000 to 5000. Taking the medium
there are from 5000 to 1000 inhabitants.
and this number is deemed too small for
separate government, and will not warrant
the largo expenditure necessary. The Com
mittce intend reporting bill establishing
n Judicial district south of the ella, creating
the Office of Surveyor General providing for the
adjudication or land claims, granting dona-
lions of lands to actual settlers, and pro-
vliipg for representation IN tho Legislature
Of New Mexico. This is all the redress the
case requires, in the opinion of the Commit
tee.
