TIE new provision authorizing the delivery Of
"Drop Letters" (tbose delivered from the once at
which they posted) at charge of one cent eaeo,
ia most important reform. Hitherto, this service
has cost three cent-one paid in advance to the
Office, the residue t., the penny post or carrer-and
the worst oft was the inability Of the sender to pay
il all. You might wantto send out hundred circu-
lars or other notes through the Post. Office without
taxing the receivers; but this the rules OF the ser
vice forbade! You could only pay one cent; the
other two must be hunted up somewhere ~ tue
servant who opened the door at the poStman's
knock he waiting in the hall meantime. Ioe
nuisance may seem petty one, but it is very awk-
ward and absurd.
We understand that the House Committee has
voted TO reduce the carriers or penny post charge
ON oil letters from two cents to one per letter.
This is very right One cent will abundantly pay
for the service, and the extra charge now fails
mainly Oh the poor; the wealthy having private
boxes, and thus escaping the charge. We trust one
cent will be the highest charge for delivery
hereafter.
But the reform ought to be pushed further than
this. Every letter received at any post Office ought
to be delivered at the earliest practicable moment
It would be cheaper, as general rule, to send
boy around village aud deliver every letter aud
paper forthwith, than to have hundred persons
struggling in at intervals throughout the day to have
the letters and papers on hand looked over IN their
behalf respectively. Make it every postmssters
duty TO deliver, so far as may be, within two hours
after its reception, every letter received for delivery
at bis Office end you will diminish the labor of at
tending most offices, while immensely increasing
the public accommodation and the postal revenue.
We are quite aware that every letter received In
rural township cannot be thus delivered; but we
believe that three fourths of all received might be
sent to the persons addressed within half day
after their reception at the Office, and twothirds OF
the 40 within two hours after the arrival of the mail
containing them. Quite often, mail brings to
modest village some FIVE hundred letters and papers,
whereof four hundred might be delivered BY light
footed boy within two hours. Can there be doubt
that this process involves less labor than does wait
ing on each person who has, or suppOses no has, one
of these missives addressed to himl

migrated from this STATE, wherein be was Demo.
cratic State Senator, chosen from Wing District,
but few years ago. and justly esteemed young
man of decided promise. He was a Radical or
BaInburner, and such fought the battle of 4S in
company with John Van Buren,, Dean Richmond
Csgger Cassidy, and the rest of the crowd now
trying to elbsw Mayor Wood out of the National
slaye.pen at Charleston. Though always Free
soier, he did not cast in his lot with the Republ-

Mr. Doolittle is an original and vigorous thinker,
and his speech will be richly worth hearing. We
trust arrangements have been made to give
thousands fair opportunity to listen.

q Remarkable Cure of OfConsumption.--
The almost miraculous cure that has been eff
feeted in my case, prompts me 10 impart TO those
OF my fellow creatures who may be suffering
from like affiiction, the source of relief, with
short description ofmy case. Several years ago
my health began to fail. | was attacked by gen.
eral debility, which reduced me to the mere
shadow of my former self. At that stage
sought medical assistance, and expended large
amounts, but without the least beneficial result.
That fell destroyer, Consumption, had already
seized upon my yitals | daily drawing
closer to my tomb; my physicians held out no
hope OF recovery my strength had wasted, and
was IN state of almost utter prostration. !
was informed by my physicians that they could
do nothing for me except to smooth my path TO
the grave, when most fortunately, | applied to
DR.. l.. J. Czapkay, and am now well and per-
fectly sound man. 1t is difficult for me to ex
press the emotions of deepest gratitude expert
ence when realizing the immeasurable service
have received at the hands of DR.. Czapkay, and
feel rejoiced that it is at least in my power to
tender this feeble recognition of his great skill
and capacity. To the afflicted would say. do
not despair, for whatever may be the nature Of
your case, am confident that you will find re-
lief by applying to DR.. L. ]. Czapkay. "There

A Strp~r dous Debt.


The debt of England ou the first ofyTiine last,
had reached the enormous sum of five thousand
millions (s5,ooo, oOo,oO9) Of dollars THIS is
almost an ineonesivabl. sum, and when COM
pared With the debt ofths United States, appears
so exceedingly inconsiderable, that a man is
filed with disgust and contempt for those mis-
erable Opposition cFoakers, who are eyermore
shedding copions showers Of crocodile tears, and
tending the heavens with their senseless, hyp-
ocritical and preposterous groans about the ex-
travaganco, expensiveness and reckless waste
fulness of our Government.
Just compare the two debts for one moment.
There stands the British debt-$5, ,00O, ,o00, ,0o0l
Here stands our national debt, say SEQ, ,ooo,o
although it may be less, for on the 3oth of
June, 1859, twas but 5S,754,699 SO.
Fire thousand millions against sixty milliansl
nearly eighty.fouv times as much
How immense is the difference How per-
fectly inconsiderable is our debt when placed by
the side of that Of Great Britain Why, to count
the British debt-counting at the rate of ore
per second, sixty a minute, for twelve hours
OF each day-would occupy man through a
period of over 3l7 years That is to say, lift The

the rate named, about the time the first hundred

hating or, at least, if he had commenced the
