The Postal Bill.

The bill which recently passed Congress:
and received the Presidents signature, appro-
pirates four million two hundred and ninety
six thousand dollars to supply the deficiency
in the revenues and defray the expenses OF
the Post Office Department for the last fiscal
yeal, ending June, 1859. This deficiency
was amply provided for in the postal bill
which failed in its passage by the last Con-
gress. The bill just passed, also provides an
appropriation of four millions for the support
of the postal service for the year which ends
in June, 1850, and an additional appropriation
Of two million four hundred thousand dollars
to pay salaries of officers, clerks interest, &c.
The passage Of this bill has caused much
pleasure to all who have postal or mail service
claims against the government, but it may be
the cause of much uneasineSs of mind to ma
ny who have hypothecated :heir claims, and
7who now have no plausible excuse to defer
the payment of claims held against contrac-
tors and post Office officials by the outside
public.
We have no excuse to offer for the failure
of Congress, at its last session, to pass the
post Office appropriation bill. 1t has passed
it now, and thousands and hundreds of thou
<al.ds Of the money appropriated has been
1 ,a:,l out to claimants. We merely suggest
t.!5t,it will be we'll to keep the money circu-
lating, until all who have claims against those
WHO have received the money from the Gov
ernmcnt, are paid. Let the payments go on.

The Grand Rally.

All accounts favor the idea that Charleston will
witness in April the grandest rally Of the Democ-
racy ever yet effected. The city may prepare for
such rush and sqccze MS it has never before ex-
pericneed. The New Workers and others expect
to come in chartered boats and live in them while
there. We suppose lobby members from the coun-
try, or even regular members, might also charter
some freight trains, have the cars snugly fitted up
for sleeping and board out on their own hook.
Some wag will Of course say that they ought to be
so located, as they to be tied to the car Of

datons? However, wo suppose Charleston will
see to that.
