Post-0fhce Department:

The recen erder OF the PosmssterGenera requiring the
prepayment. Of pogeo be msao M All cases y United stae
PosTss.srs ss compelling the prepayment Of postage all
letters and mall matter addressed to foreign counres
We are therefore requested to correct any mis-
apprehension on this subject by stating that the
purpose of the regulation as is therein clearly
expressed is simply to require prepayment by
postage-stamps, instead of in money, in all cases
when postage is prepaid in the United States,
leaving it, as heretofore, entirely optional with the
senders to pay the postage in advance or leave it
unpaid when mailing letters for Canada or other
British North American Provinces, Great Britain
Prussia, France, Belgium, and the German States,
by the Bremen or Hamburg mails, as our postal
arrangements with each Of those countries have
adopted the principle of optional prepayment. The
new regulation referred to is in the following
words;
From and after the lsi OF June 1860 the postage upon all
transient printed natter foreign and domestic and upon al let

In order to facilitate the prepayment of postage
on letters addressed to foreign countries and to
avoid the necessity of affxing threto large num-
Der Of stamps, which would in some instances in
crease the weight to subject the letters to adj
ditional postage the Department has ordered the
issuing of new stamps OF the denominations of "a
80 and 90 cents respectively. The 2i-cent stamps
viii be ready for distribution next week; the 30
cent stamps soon thereafter and the 9Ocent stamps
as soon as they can be procured
TIE ADMINISTRATIONS CoRRUrTIoNs.
The Hon. VIM. Montgomery of Pennsylvania
was summoned before the COyode Committee to
explain various statements of speeches published
in the Democratic papers of bis District, alleging
that the President had offered him the best Office
in his gift to change his position on the Lecompton
question, and the Ike, but he failed either to
report himself, at the request of the Committee,
like other members, or to obey subpoena, though
several times served.
Mr.. Harms, the witness from Reading, is de-
tanned here by the Committee until the fraudulent
naturalization papers, which he cOnfesses having,
are received.
1t now appears some 5000 were issued in the
last Presidential election and information has been
obtained at whose Office they were printed in Phil
adelpha. Most OF the papers were issued to per-
sons protesting to have come TO the United States
before Is years of age, which did not require them
10 file declaration of intention, and may serve as
means Of detection.
Mr. Rooms, the witness who preferred base
charges against Mr.. Scranton, has published card
in The Herald which is VIGOROUSLY false The Co
yode Committee at first unanimously refused TO
pay him mileage, fees, aud it was only by inter-
position of Mr.. Scranton, whom he slandored, that
the decision was reconsidered Mr. Wmsow, who
summoned him. required his opinion of Mr.. Rooms
character to be known, before coDsenting to the
payment.
THE NAVAL EXPENDITURE CORRUPTIoNs.
The House, which was engaged for seven hours
upon the resolutions of the Committee on Naval
Expenditures, reported upon the Investigation Of
last session. and now revived.
All the resolutions were adopted, and the I'M
portant ones by a vote Of nearly two to one. Many
Democrats lodged or endeayored to pair of, and
others, like Mr. Pryor, voted squarely against the
Administration. If this vote was given in a Brit
ish Parliament, the Ministry would resign imme-
diately. 1t is not an ordinary expression against
the p0lcy, but dlrect personal cehsure oi INC
President and Secretary of the Navy for using
corrupting influences, abusing patronage, and set
ting an example dangerous to public safety. No
former Administration was ever so rebuked in our
whole public history.
TIE ARMY BILL.
The Committee on Ways and Means reported
back the Army bill this morning, after striking
out all the legislative amendments inserted by the
Senate consuming nearly s3,O0OOOO. The Senate
has thus far added about seven millions gross to
the Appropriation bills sent over from the House
MIR. LINCOLN's NOMINATION IN ILLINOIS.
The Republicans of Illinois claim that LincOln's
nomination will secure them six doubtful counties
bordering on Egypt which will render Trumbull's
reelection certain. They have been actively en-
gagged in caLvassing since the Chicago Convention,
and feel confident in the foregoing estimate
THE TARIFF.
The Senate Committee on Finance this morning
agreed TO report Morrills Tariff bill tomorrow,
with recommendation that it be postponed until
the first Monday in December.
