This is equivalent to a positive and
total prohibition of any such service as
writing names of subscribers on papers
previous to their delivery, as it cannot
be done without interfering with the
legitimate business of the Office While
the Post Master is looking over and wri-
ting up his long list of Tribunes, other
customers are waiting for their mails,
else the Tribune must be laid by until
next day and delivered after other mat
ter, which every one knows is never the
case. This decision is not only timely,
but emincntlyj just, We hope our CO.
temporarics of the Press will give it q
wide circulation.

p~ortance to Post Masters has just been

B1g~ The New York Post corrocts the
London Times as TO the pedigree of the
new British Minister to the United
States. The Times callcdhim the grand
son of Admiral the Earl of Dundonald,
but the Post informs us that he is only
the grandson of the Earl of Dundonald's
uncle. Isn't that nice?

Do these facts need comment? At a
meeting of northern negroes held under
the auspices of benevolent half-bloods
and whites in the city of Philadelphia,
in October 1855, a select committee re-
ported the number of negroes and mu-
lattoes engaged in the different occupa-
tons and trades. The entire total of
negroes and mulattoes thus engaged was
asccrtained and reported to be 1853
This taken from the round number of
blacks and mulattoes leaves 212,52S of
the race engaged in-what? The trc-
mendous proportion who thus must re-
main Il charge and burthen on the body
polite, on the industry of the white
race; the amount Of poverty and misery,
degradation and crime which must re-
suit from this idleness, thus irrefragably
shown by the negroes themselves, arc
painful to contemplate and should for
ever close the mouths of these croaking
negro philanthropists, about the condi-
ton of the Southern slave. Their silly
prating, in the face of these facts at
home, is nonsense, sheer humbug, for
the situation of the southern G is
far preferable to the poor, half-starved,
half-clad, half-free negro of the north,
who has the waters of freedom forever
flowing before him, but who is unable
to touch one single drop.

nSg Democrats should be circuaspect
in their political conduct; for it /. held
by all factions that whatever the Demo
cracy say CT DO is right. We see al
ways the principles and pra2tite of the
Democratic party denounced, but their
example is sure to be followed; and it
is a sufficient justification for any other
party thinking of any questionable decd,
if they can show that Democrats, some
time or other, did the same thing, or
something like it. The Democrats, for
good reasons, declined to go into the
election of United States Senator, two
wears ago. in Indiana. The opposition
denounced the act as a very great wrong,
and, indeed, one Of great atrocity.
Rejecting, however, that Democrats
did it, they have become satisfied that it
must be right, and they have according

Indignation Meeting at the City
Hall, this Evening, IAN. 30.

State, at present sojourning in Column

of Representatives, by the partisan ma
Lightly, of which he was made the vic
tim; while Darius Caldwell, the member
who first violated the rules of decorum
and the sanctity of the place set apart
by the people for purposes of legisla-
ton, was allowed to pass without rebuke
or censure, respectfully call upon Dem
~ocrats, and all who love justice and alb
hor persecution, to meet at the City
Hall this evening, to express their in
dignation, not only at the gross outrage
which has been perpetrated upon Mr..
Slough and his constituents, but also at
the insult offered to the people of the
State at large, by p~rostituting their pc
culiar branch of the legislature to the end
of partisan capital.
MANY DEMOCRATS.
We take the above from the Column
bus Statesman of yesterday. The feel
ings which it expresses of the Democra-
cy of the Capital will be promptly and
warmly responded to by the Democracy
of old Hamilton. Mr.. Slough's constit-
uents feel outraged by The Paftisdn I'M
fairness which the Republicans exhibit
ed in disposing of the case. They ac-
tually made it a political affair, and de-
cided upon the expulsion by a caucus
among themselves. While rcsorting to
this unprecedented punishment for a
breach of the rules of the House: they
declined to censurc their own man, Cald-

This partiality and other circumstan-
ccS connected with the case, will fastcn
much odium upon the Republican ma
jority. and be the. means of giving Mr..
Slough a triumphant victory over it.
We are gratifcd to notice that every
Democrat in the House recorded his
vote against this ~tyrannical and partial
exercise Of power, although they were
willing to ccnsurc both Mr.. Slough and
Mr.. Caldwell for their violation of the

Elisha Kent Kane was born in Philadelphia,
in 1922. lie received his classical education
at the university Of Virginia, and his medical
education at the University of Pennsylvania,
where he graduated as a doctor of medicine in
in l843. Some time after receiving his degree
he was appointed surgeon to the first Ameri-
sively in China, the East Indian Archipelago
British India and Egypt. After his return TO
the United States from these adventures he
next sailed for the. West coast of Africa, and
visited the slave factories, from Cape Mount 10
the river Benny. During the late war with
Mexico, in l847, he visited that country, and
performed a pLFilous service in bearing Presi-
dent Folks dispatches 10 General Scott.
On the return of peace, he was assigned to
the coast survey under Professor l3ache and
was at work in the Gulf of Mexico, when the
,iberality Of Mr.. Grinnell stimulated the Gov
ernmeRta0fi The United States to send the first
Amerf peditiou in search of Sir John
franklin. aDr. Kane immediately volunteered
his services and was accepted AS the senior sur.
geoa. His "PeFs0nal Narrative Of this cruise
was published in 1859.
Before it was completed for the press, he
had effected his arrangements for the last arctic
expedition, appropriated to this cherished OBJ
ject his W %pecuniary resources, as we'll as
drawing largely on those of Mr.. GrinnelI and
several of the scientific institutions of this
country. The history Of that expedition and
the remarkable discoveries to which it led, are
row before the country. They constitute in
themselves an imperishable monument to DR..
Kane's fame.

A Reporter in Luck.-The drawing of the
$l6 900 Tom bola came off on Saturday eve
ming, at the ST. Louis Rotunda, in presence of
a large number of interested spectators. The
tickle goddess, as usual, disappointed those
who were most sanguine, and dispensed her
favors upon those who seemed to care the
least for them--with one exception however.
The lucky ticket which drew the capital prize,
the house and lot on Rampant street, was No.

was no less a person than our friend John NJ.
Z. Brady, the portly and poetic " local of the

" considering" He looked none the less in
size yesterday, though he walked as if he felt
somewhat lighter. The prize could not have

Suicide Of a Young Married Lady.-Yes-
terday the Coroner held an inquest on the
body of Mrs. Eliza E. Jamison, found dead at
the residence of her husband, on Second
street, between Camp and Chestnut, in the
Fourth District. Verdict, committed suicide
by taking arsenic. No cause could be assigned
for the dreadful act. 1t appeared that she was
IN comfortable circumstances, her husband
being a pilot on the river, and that she was
not known TO be afflicted with trouble of any
kind. Yesterday morning she went to drug
gist, and procured o quantity of arsenic, say
ing that she wished to poison rats. Going
home, she took the poison herself. She died
in about three hours her rash act having been
discovered, but not in time to save her life.
She was n native of Virginia, only % years Of
age--handsome and childiess.--B.
