New POSTAGE LAw.-The Postage
Law, as amended by the last Congress,
will take effect on the 1st of next
month. The Post Master General has
furnished all postmasters in the several
States with copies thereof, accompa-
nisd with instructions. /
In many respects the new law is an
improvement on the old. In the reg
istration of money letters, the system
practiced by the United Ststes Express
Company is adoptsd-i. e., each clerk
handling a registered letter is required
to sign his name to the package, SO that
the letter may be traced throughout its
entire route after it is deposited in the
Post Office The receipt given by the
receiver of the letter is to be returned
to the sender. The fee for registration
will hereafter be 20 cents, instead of
five cents as heretofore.
Newspaper postage is reduced by the
new law to the following rates /:
Sem-W eekly, per quarter, 10
Tri- w eekly, per quarter, 10
Daily, per quarter, 20
Magazines, not exceeding four ounces
in weight, are rated as follows:
Semi-monthly, per quarter, cents.
Monthly per quarter,
Quarterly, per quarter,
Under the old law, newspapers were
circulated in the States where publish
ed at half the rates of other papers.
This distinction is abolished-an un
fortunate change for the local press,
and, we are constrained to say, an I'M
wise one for the public. Weekly pa
pers, however, are still sent free to. sub-
scribers in the county where printed.
At post offices where the gross re-
ceipts amount to $1,000 or more per
annum, letters are to be advertised
once a week-at all other offices once
a month. All Offices advertisieg week
Ily, will return their unclaimed letters to
the Dead Letter Office weekly, and
about FIVE weeks after their receipt +;
smaller offices will return their letters
monthly.
The franking privilege heretofore
granted to postmasters at Offices where
the gross receipts amounted to less tn an
5000 per annum is abolished, and post
masters are not allowed to frank any
letters except those on official business,
which must be so endorsed, with the
: name of the postmaster.
There are some provisions of the
law which require additional labor by
postmssters and their clerks Among
these are sections Sd and 4th, by which
the postmaster is required to keep a
record of each days transactions,
Z showing the entire amount of money
received each day, giving separately
the amount received for letter hostages,
for regular newspapers, for box rents,
&c., DC.
The postmaster at every post office.
large or small, must keep list of box
holders, with the number of the box
assigned to each, and allow no one the
use of box till he has paid for it in

DETROIT ADVERTISER &TRIBUNE.
PUBLISHED
DAILY, TRI-wEEKLY AND WEEKLY.

The oldest newspaper In Detroit now in its oath
year-the Advertiser having been established in
1929.
In July last, by the consolidation: of the Daily
Advertiser and Daily Tribune, circulation larger
than that ever enjoyed by any paper in Michigan
was attained. Since. then corps of editors has
been secured second to none engaged on any
Western paper. Some have been employed for
years on leading Eastern papers, and bring rich
fund of experience to the columns of the Advert
ser q Tribune. 4zE
Our expenses for Geographic dispatches are
larger than those of any other paper in Detroit and
more than seven times the amount paid by any one
paper Aear ago. In fact we now publish simulta-
neously with them, besides the regular Associated
Press dispatches that sent to the Philadelphia
Inquirer, Pittsburg Gazette Cincinnati Gasetts St
Louis Democrat, and Chicago Iri5une-the five
leading papers in the cities in which they are pub
lished, and for enterprise not whit behind the
New York journals. Almost daily it occurs that
we obtain news by special dispatch twelve hours in
advance of the Associated Press, of the correct
ness of which statement we refer to the numerous
readers of our Daily. In this city, where both the
daily papers are habitualy read by all parties, it
is generally conceded that the dispatches of the
Advertiser & Tribune are the most reliable and sat
isfactory of any published in Detroit.
We are now sparing no expenses and intend to
spare none to place the Advertiser & Tribune in
the first rank as newspaper. Particular attention
is given to State news, and to intelligence from our
tanned in every Michigan Regiment
Politically the Advertiser and Tribune looks to
the salvation of the country by the energetic prose
cution of the war now waged against the accursed
rebellion of the South. On humanitarian grounds,
as war measure and as a safeguard for the future
quiet of the nation, it upholds the Presidents
Emancipation Proclamation, and all other war
measures of the Government; while it admits the
propriety of friendly criticism, it holds that d.
rect and active opposition to the Government is
consistent with loyalty, or should be tolerated in
the North any more than in the States engaged in
the rebellion.
AS commercial paper we aim to make the Ad-
vertlser and Tribune the best in the State and have
employed to conduct this department a man OF
large experience and reputation. This will make
the paper particularly acceptable to farmers, as
well as merchants and mllers.
Our facilities for printing large edition have
lately been greatly increased by the erection of the
fastest press in use in this city, and circulation
is keeping pace with our capacity of print.
