Popularity, partizanshir, public favor, what you

New POSTAGE LAw-Pre-payment on all Tran.
silent Printed Matter CcmputSory.-The following
gulations have been made by the Postmaster General
in order to carry out the provisions of the just
passed, requiring prepayment of postage all tran
sent printed matter, viz:
1. Books not weighing over four pounds may be
sent In the mail prepaid by postage stamps at one
der three thousand miles, and at two cents an ounce
over three thousand miles; provided they put up
without cover or wrapper, or in cover or wrapper
open at the ends or sides, SO that their character may
be determined without removing the wrapper.
2. Unsealed circulars, advertisements, business
cards, transient newspapers, and every other article
of transient printed matter, except books not weigh
ing three ounces, sent in the mail to any part of
the United States, chargeable with one cent post
age each, 10 be prepaid by postage stamps. When
more than one circular is printed sheet, or a cir
culsr and letter, each must be charged with single
rate. This applies TO lottery and other kindred sheets
assuming the form and name of newspapers and the

scrlber, or to any other person, subjects the whole
package to letter POSTAGE and whenever subject to
letter postage, from being sealed from any >cause
whatever, all printed matter, without exception must
be prepaid or excluded from the mail 1t is the duty
of the postmaster al the mailing Office, as well as at
the office of delivery, carefully examine all printed
matter In order TO see it is charged with the proper
rate of postage and detect fraud. At Offices where
postage stamps cannot be procured postmasers are
authorized to receive money in prepayment of pos
tage transient matter but they should be careful
| to keep supply of stamps on hand

nearly $4,000 O0O- The balance in the Treasury is
upward of So 100000. The Canal debt is upwards
of $4,000 900. Receipts for the year 2,750,OoO.-
The baking system of the State is in better con-
dition.
The Governor declares that the imputations in the
Presidents message the Black Republicans are
wholly groundess. He gives at length the views of
the Black Republicans the great question of the
day, and alludes to the outrages which have been
committed in Kansas. The message on the whole is

Congress.

We have not paid especial attention to the dongs
of the present session of Congress. We think the
public proceedings, thus far very well hit off by
MIR. Stephens, of Georgia. in speech delivered by
him on the 9Th instant. The Republicans have been
in now spending their ammunition upon the Presi.

wished to speak in Court after his had been de-
cided The Judge told him that he could not do so
whereupon the lawyer said 81 not arguing the
question, but only cursing the decision" They had

Many of the committees have been ready to report,
but have not had the opportunity, owing to this

doubt, be hurried through enough 10 get along with

Nothing be done with Kansas, and little need
be said unti the time comes for her 10 apply for ad
mission into the Union as State. The slavery dis.
cussion in Congress- therefore, amounts at present in
reality to nothing more than cursng the decision.
Many projects of Pacific Railroads, etc., will be
up and aga ed but none of them will pass this time,
we think from the difficulty Of reconciing the claims
urged by the friends of the respective routes schemes
and projects.
There is matter rapidly rising into Importance
pressing importance The absolute necessity of
reducing the revenue of the United States. The
General Government collects too much money for the
economical administration of her affairs, and with an
overlooking Treasury spring up all sorts of schemes
for relieving it of such ovefow-not all OF them hon.
est, we fear.
But while this state of things is tending to corrup.
titn in public AFFAIRS the people are annually forced
TO pay something like twenty-five millions year
more than there is any need for. This is directly
into the public Treasury, while no doubt they pay
indirectly quite much more by way of protection
to manufacturers. A large surplus accumulated in
the Treasury is ruinous to the finances and business
of the country. Ii will accumulate unless the Tariff
be reduced or departure be made from all just
notions of economy, and the General Government be
plunged into a sea of useless and unconstitutional
expenditure.
There are various prospects for this reduction
One brought Onward by Mr.. Campbell of Ohio, Chair
man of the Committee of Ways and Means in the
House, and another by Mr. Letcher of Virginia. from
the minority of the same committee, both proposing a
revisal Of the Tariff with view to bring the receipts
of the government within the requirements of an
economical administration of it's affairs, but differing
in this, that Mr.. Letcher proposes purely revenue
basis while MIR. Campbell advocates " incidental
protection to manufacturers, meaning of "
cidenal' discrimination against all Others We be-
lieve in MIR. Letcher's views this subject, but
hardly think th at anything will be done at this short
session.

Terrible Accidemt---The Wife of Judge Daniel
Burnt to Death

Burnt to Death
WASHINGTON, Jan. "A most shocking accident
occurred here last night by which the wife of Judge
Daniels, of the United States Supreme Court, was
burnt to death. The Judge and his wife had just
turned from party his residence in Franklin
and had gone to his library whilst Mrs Daniels re-
paired to her sleeping room and commenced disrobing
preparatory to reliring for the night. Being vely
near h;ed, she did not perceive candle sitting on
the hearth or the flames which communicated to her
clothes, until they completely enveIoped her. She
then ran to her room, shreking for estance but her
motion only added strength TO the flames, and j: is
supposed she also inhaled the fire. Before effecual
assistance could be rendered, the unfortunate Lady
was burnt almost 10 crisp, and died after egh hours
intense suffering She was an estmable lady, about
IS years of age Her terrible death has caut ed much
regret among her large circle of friends and the COM
munty at large. Much sympathy is felt all hands
for the Judge in this his sad bereavement.
One statement says that Mrs, Daniels was in her
night dress which caught fire. Another is that she
was in bed reading when the candle caught to her
sleeve.
Mrs. Daniels was the daughter of the late DR., Har-
rss of Philadelphia formerly Chief of the Bureau of
Medicine and Surgery of the Navy, She leaves two
children, the youngest about eight months old
Judge Daniels was slightly burnt in his efforts to
exlnguish the flames
