Tho amount to be realized in the
United States to the Post Office Depart
ment, from these sources, will be some
thing like 5000, 900, after dcducting the
commissions paid to post-masters. Not
very great sum, but still enough TO
.yindicate tho general principle that all
matter, printed or written, passing
through the mails should pay some post
age.
Under the present law. post masters
whose commissions amount to less than
5000 per annum are allowed to receive
and send all their letters free of postage.
The bill which has passed the House
abolishes this privilege. AS there are
not far--from fifteen thousand post
masters who enjoy this ranking privilege,
the amount that the Department will re-
alize from its abolition must be very con-
siderable. The postmasters who will be
deprived of free postage will be reim-
bursed by commissions on weekly papers
which they arc now obliged to deliver
and handle for nothing, SO that, in the
end, they will be made whole. What
they lose on paying letter postage they
will gain from newspaper postage

Ruled Stamped Envelopes.
The Post Office Department has

The Post Office Department has is
sued the following circular:
1t is desirable to introduce the stam-
ped envelope rs n substitute for the
stamp.
The following are some of the alyan-
tages Of the envelope to the correspon-
dcncc:
Ist. The use of the stamped envel-
ope is economical; it is furnished to the
public at the small price of two mills
each, or five for one cent, exclusive Of
the cost Of the stamp, but when the en-
velope and stamp are procured separate
". the former Of the same quality as
that sold by the Government, costs more
than twice rs much. BY using the
stamped envelope instead of the stamp,
there is n virtual reduction of postage
of onc-half to one-filth of cent on each
letter transmitted through the mails.
81. The use Of the stamped envelope
obyiates the inconyonient and occasional
loss TO correspondents, arising from the
frequent neglect to attach the postage
stamp to the ordinary envelope; tho let
ter in such eases being detained until the
person to whom ii is addressed is noti-
fed Of the fact, and tho postage due
thereon RENTED.
Sd. The black lines incorporated with
this envelope, not only supply great
convenience to many in the superscrip-
ton Of their letters, in way to which
there can be no objection, but they also
indicate the proper position on the envel
ope for the address, so as to leave suf.
ficient blank for the postmark, thereby
avoiding their nautual obliteration, and
ensuring the speedy and safe transmits
ion Of letters through tho mails.
Postmasters are authorized to receive
stamped envelopes spoiled in the direc-
ton or otherwise (at the rate of the
stamps which they bear), in exchange
for other stamped envelopes, upon salts
factory evidence being furnished that the
former have not been used to pre- pay
letters, great care being taken to guard
against fraud. Hence, no envelope
claimed to have been misdirected, is to
be exchanged at the Pcst-office of a 10
cality to which it is addressed.
Spoiled envelopes thus received should
be forwarded quarterly to the Finance
Office of the Department, and the val
NC Of the stamps upon them will be plac
ed to the credit of Postmasters.

The Financial Results of the
Conferences.

The results of the various conferences
held in Washington by representative
from Boards Of Trade, Chambers of
Commerce, and banking institutions,
among themselves and with the Treasury,
may be summed up briefly as follows
l. The general views of the Secreta-
ry of the Treasury are assented to.
2. The banks will receive and pay
out the United States notes freely. and
sustain in all proper ways their credit.
8. The Secretary will, within the
next two weeks, in addition to the cur
rent daily payment of 81 900 in u.
S. notes, pay the further sum of at least
$4,000, 200 in $50 bonds to such pub
lie ca editors rs desire to receive them,
and thus relieve the existing pressure up
on the community.
4. The issue Of U. S. demand notes
not TO be increased beyond the $50,00o,-
900 now autl orizod, but it is desired that
Congress will extend the provisions of
the existing oan acts, so as to enable the
Secretary to issue in exchange for u. s.
demand notes, or in payment to credi-
tors notes, payable in one year, bearing
three and sixiy-ivo hundredths per ct.
interest, and convertible into seven aud
thirty hundredths' three years bonds, or
to borrow under the existing provisions
to the amount of two hundred and fifty
or three hundred millions of dollars.
5. 1t is thought desirable that Con-
gress should enact a general law relating
to currency and Banking Associations,
embracing the general provisions recon-
mended by tho Secretary in bis report.
6. 1t is expected that his action and
legislation will render the making of U.
S. demand notes a legal tender, or their
increase beyond the fifty millions, now
authorized, unnecessary.

The Abolition of the Eranking
Privilege.

Newspapers, from time immemorial,
have enjoyed the privilege of exchanging
with each other free Of postage. The
bill which passed The House the other
day aboIishes this privilege. Publishers
viii be obliged to pay postage on their
exchanges after the law goes into effect.
This will bo felt as severe tax on all
but the leading city papers. One effect
viii be 10 reduce the exchanges each of
flee take. What will be saved in this
letrenchment will, 10 some extent, pay
the postage on the residue. Tho Post
Office Department viii gain few thous-
and dollars by the repeal of the privi-
lege at the expense Of the editors. We
are willing 10 stand our part of the con-
tiibution for the sake of the general
principle.
Another effect of the passage of the
bill is to abolish the provisions of the
present law allowing weekly papers to
pass through the mails free within the
county in which they are published.
Publishers of weekly papers will not rel
ish this very well, nor viii their sub
scribers who, for ten years past, have re-
eeiyed their county papers free of
postage. But, as the postage to be
charged is only twenty-six cents per year
and if paid quarterly in advance one half
that sum, the now arrangement vii. not
prove very oppressive to subscribers or
iyudIcious TO publishers.

Our company were the guardian angels
of the camp last night, and tonight they
are glad to go to bed early, and leave
their fellows TO enjoy all tho pleasures
that can be derived from anticipating n

The weather, although not severe, has
been such that we have had little or no
drill for some tima. Indeed, except at
the presentation of our colors, and the
Inauguration of Gov. Harvey, wa have
hardly been in line for two weeks. The
"mastoriy inactivity" so much complain
