SHALL THE FRANKNG PRIVILEGE BE ABo-
L1sHED THE Tribune is right when it informs
the black republican members of the House
that the country will demand some more com.
petent reason than has yet been assigned for
the continuance of the odious Thanking priv.
lege, through which members load down the
mails with documents which very few people
read, but for the conveyance Of which every
one who can read or write has to pay in one
way or another. The country will hold the re-
publicans, who have the control of the House,
responsible if this outrageous tax be not
speedily abolished. The Senate bill has gone
to select committee of the House, a proceed
ing which is supposed to secure its death in
quiet and agreeable way. The republicans de-
sire to hold on to the Thanking privilege in order
that they may deluge the Northern and Central
States with their reasonable documents, such
as the Helper book and Stewards Rochester
speech, and by so doing shey will cut their
own throats with two-edged sword; for, on
the one side, the conservative masses in the
Central States demand the abolition of
The franking privilege, and on the other

THE UNION MEETING AT THE COOPER ISsrr-
TurE.-The numerous and enthusiastic Union
meeting held at the Cooper Institute on Tues
day is another evidence of the effort of the
conservative element of the North to defeat
the revolutionary party at the approaching
contest-a foreshadowing of what it can do In
the great Presidential struggle which is to come
off in November next General Scott, who may
be regarded as the very embodiment of conser-
vatism, was present, and the applause with
which he was received shows how the heart of
the great metropolis of the country beats in
response to the rallying cry of The Union and
the Constitution" But what is to be done
with this element, which fills the Academy of
Music and the Cooper Institute, in November!
The only way to put down agitation, like the
present one, is for all opposition forces to con-
centrate against the agitators-against those
who endorse the Helper Hand Book and utter
such speeches as that Of Seward at Rochester.

IMPORTANT IF TRuE.-Thurlow Weed says, in
the Albany Erening Journal, that, with the
advantage of good many years. experience,
we are quite unable to form, at this time, any
opinion as to whom we should nominate fer
President. The policy and action of our Con-
vention is not unlikely to be affected by that of
our opponents. Other conditions and cir
cumstances may occur to render what may
appear wise now wholly inexpedient when
our Convention assemblies. Hence we have
preferred to leave our convention unembar-
raised, either by premature committals or dis
cussions, to act upon its convictions and judg-
ment, with all the evidence before it, when
standard bearer is to be chosen"
This determination on the part of the Nestor
Of the lobby will create as much surprise as
was manifested by democratic delegate to
Syracuse, who asked one of the Albany
Regency who was on the slate for State Prison
Inspector Doubtless" was the reply, "the
Convention will select good man." The
astonished rural politician exclaimed, "what!
you don't mean to say that you're going to
let the Convention have anything to do with
it," Perhaps If Thurlow could tell us who
will be printer to the House, we might make
a shrewd guess as to the "choice of our Con-
vention' at Chicago. Just as if the Convention
had anything to do with it, indeed!

The CRY Posr.-There has been of late
years much natural growing about the made
quate postal facilities afforded to the people of
the metropolis. The very thorough, safe and
cheap systems of London and Paris are COM
pared with that which exists here, and mani
testify to the discredit of the latter We do not
despair, however, of having something nearly
as good as the Continental cities in time. The
establishment of sub-post Offices in various
parts of the metropolitan district works we'll,
and the city delivery is more frequent and
prompt than before. The abolition of the two
cent tax is demanded. There should be, pro-
perly, no charge for the delivery of prepaid
letter within the Post Office district; but if
there is to be any, penny is quite sufficient.
That is the postage on drop letter, and why
carriers should be permitted to charge moro
than the government itself demands for the
same work, passes our comprehension. II the
extra penny is to remunerate the carrier, the
system is wrong; the government should pay
its own servants Another innovation may be
seen in the letter boxes affixed to the lamp
posts on the street corners. Although patent
ed, and supposed to be great things they are
not over and above ornamental, and, as it is
claimed, not quite SO safe as they ought to be.
They are quite different from the Paris boxes,
which are so constructed as to defy the most ex-
pert thief. We do not assume that our lamp-post
boxes are vulnerable; we simply state that
such is the feeling on the part of the public,
and it is the duty of the contractor to prove.
If he can, that his boxes are all that he repre-
sented them to be before they were put up.
In the meantime, we are pleased to know that
the Postmaster intends to make arrangements
by which the lamp-post boxes will be emptied
at midnight, so that letters placed in them up
to that time can be forwarded by the early
morning mails. If Mr.. Fowler will continue
his efforts to improve the postal facilities of the
metropolis, he will find that such course will
pay far better in the end than Tammany Hall
or any other politics.

A PRovIDENTAL VIsITATIoN.-The city of
New York, whatever reputation our provincial
contemporaries may give it, is not quite as bad
as Sodom and Gomorrah of old, and has
not yet been wholly abandoned by Providence.
The rain which fell yesterday, and helped to
clean our streets, proves at least that the AL
mighty, as well as the Corporation, has not
abandoned us in our affection and doomed us
to destruction. Let us take consolation from
this reflection. The rain which visited us yes
teIday was Providential act Of mercy in our
present deplorable condition, and, with the aid
of human agency in clearing the cutters, might
have been the means of publication to this
defled metropolis; but we are sorry to say that
man is still perverse and ungrateful-and the
cutters remain choked up as before.

The CAT Our OF THE BAG.-It has been for
some time asserted that Horace F. Clark, ode
mocrat, was under pledge to the republicans
of his district, previous to his election to vote
for republican Speaker of the House, If his
vote should be required to elect him. This was
denied, mott such way, however, as to leave
the matter free from doubt. But q letter Is
now published by the very gentleman who
made the arrangement with him, letting the
cat out of the bag, and telling us more besides
that We did not know before.
The year, the month, the day Of the month,
the day of the week, the division of the day,
together with the place of meeting are given,
when and where the agreement was made by
Horace F. Clark to betray the democrats,
whose support he solicited and expected to
elect him. 1t was at the Everett House. during
the afternoon Of Wednesday, the 9th Of Oc-
tober, 1858, that the interview was held be-
tween Mr.. Clark and Charles G. Murch, while
the Republican Nominating Convention weDe
determining upon the resolution endorsing
him, which Mr.. Murch was to present to the
Convention the same evening. According to
the minute and circumstantial statement of
Murch, not only did Clark engage to
him to vote for republican Speaker
clinching his promise with a tremen.
dous stroke of his fist on the table-but
intimated that he would be the out and out
republican candidate next time himself, and
directed the name of Mr.. Fairman to be erased
from resolution foreshadowing the future
support of the party to that gentleman, lest on
the strength Of this indication he should claim
the nomination for Congress at future time.
The resolution was accordingly struck out and
all was settled. Murch, however, was not to
use the pledge Of Clark "ifhe could get along
without it," and it was not mentioned, even in
the Convention lest the democrats should hear
it, and that "it might prejudice them against
him." but 'the resolutions endorsing him
were adopted on the strength of Murch's
assurance to the Convention that Mr. Clark was
all right"
This is a highly interesting development of
political scheming, showing how the people Of
both parties-the republicans as we'll as the
democrats cheated by the local wirepull-
ers and leaders 1t serves to show that they
ought to attend at the primary elections, and
take good care that they are not bamboozled
by politicians who make underhand bargains
with candidates to suit themselves.
