MONSIEUR TONsON AGAIN .

Mr. ThurlOw Weed recently withdrew from
Journalism, avowedly because he was at vari-
ance with his party on vital question con.
nected with the prosecution Of the War for the
Union. This was AT least Oil Ineligible reason,
and the public gladly accepted it as sufficient.
Having remained in retirement three or four
days, he reappears in Saturdays Albany Ecen-
ing journal in a new manifesto, wherein be
assigns as the cause Of his retirement his
aversion to "the incendiary principles Of THE
NEw-YoRK TRIBUNE, Tie IHdepsndcnt, the
extreme views Of Messrs. SUMNER, PHILLIPS,
GERRrr SMITH, and their followers, by whom
the Administration is impOrtuned beeaguered

reason, if for anything, for remaining AT his
post instead of abandoning it. 1t would have been
more creditable to stick to the excuse already
given. To stop cOuDseling the pubic because
somebody else is giving it wrong counsel, is
neither brave nor patriotic.
Mr.. Weed rehashes the old story that wos
willing in the Winter Of I960-6i, to "let the
Cotton States co." if they really desired it.
was not only then willing that the Union
should in good faith make them the offer, but
/ nO,o deeply regret that it was not made and
acted on. 1 believe the demagogues who mis-
led those States into their present position
would have been completely dumbfounded by a
kind, sincere prefer on the part of the North
that those States might secede if they desired.
Their chief stock in trade was an incessant
clanor that the North, through the machinery
and legislation Of the Federal Government,
was enriched and aggraDdized at the cost ct
the South-a delusiOn which the mercenary
view of the advantages OF the Union too CON-
monty taught in the commercial districts OF
tue North tended strongly tic uphold. Had the
North then said frankly to the far South,

pNsTAL REENRNIS.

Mr.. Colamer's bill introduced last week il
the Senate proposes numerous changes in tn
postal system. POstmasters are hereafter t.
be paid fixed salaries, instead of By com
missions as at present, and all fees and per
quisites are abolished. The Postmaster
General is to have the appointment of all
postmasters, whose yearly salary is Gag thar
one thousand dollars.
The letter-carrier system is to be extended
and improved; the Postmaster-General having
authority to establish regular deliveries where
the public convenience requires, and there is
TO be no additional charge for the collection or
delivery of letters which pass through the
mails, but the postage on local or drop letters
ia increased to two cents, which must be pre-
paid, and the expenses of the carried system
are to be regulated and it's facilities limited
we fail to see for what reason-by the re-.
ceipts.
In this as in other respects, the nearer We
can from that source assmiate our post-oflice
machinery to the English, the more perfect it
viii become.
Postage rates on printed and miscellaneous
matter are greatly simplified and regulated by
weight, four ounces being the standard for the
single rate, and the postage thereupon for all
distances established at two cents, which, for
single paper is an increase OF hundred per cent.
Books are to pay double rates. Prepayment is
required in all cases, except on newspapers and
"a mn he erih
the postage on which is payable at either Office
for the quarter or year, and is five cents q
quarter for weekly, ten for o semi-weekly, and
at proportional rates for tri-weekly end daily.
These rates are both reduction from the old,
and change from the old continental to the
decimal currency.
Letters are to pay uniform rates, three cents
the half ounce, throughout the United States
the Pacific Coast included Partially prepaid
letters may be forwarded, but arc charged
with double rates, a, if wholly unpaid-which
strikes us as needlessy oppressive.
The bill proposes to make the registration Of
money letters compulsory, which is change
in the wrong direction. Instead of extending
and enforcing the present clumsy and ne6ec-
tual system, il would be far better TO abolish
it and adopt the money-order plan of the En-
glish POst. Office which ia at once simple, con-
venient, and safe. On this and other points
this bill, although it contains many improve
ments, needs to be carefully looked to in its
progress through Senate and House. The per-
lection of the postal system and the convenience
of the public are To say the least, not less i'm
portant to be considered than the increase of
the Post-Oiiice receipts.

FRANCE AND MEXICO.

One Of the most interesting documents of
the Yellow Book" which was communi-
Gated to the French Chambers OH the opening
of the session, is a letter from the French
Emperor to Gen. Forey, which sheds cOnsid-
cradle light on the Mexican Expedition. The
Emperor shows less reserve of language than
we are accustomed TO lind ia the political
documents published under his name, and de-
fines hs policy plaioly and clearly.
1t is notable that the redress OF the griev-
snces Of private French citizens is not even
referred to, but an Interior design-the estab-
ishment "of regular Government
admitted. 1t IL also admitted that the first
choice of the French Government would be n
monarchical rule; but if this should be ascer-
tanned to be " Incompatible with the national
sentiment Of the country" any Government
which promises some stability" would be
satisfactory to France. A mere transfer of
the Presidency to the Conservative party can
hardly have been meant by this, for the Con.
servatye party in Mexico has been often in
power and has shown evsn less stability than
the A" Liberal" party which is at present III
the ascendancy. We are, therefore, constrained
to think either of a French protectorate Or of
some other acknowledgement Of French inAu-
encc.
France, it s further stated 10 the letter. has
powerful reasons for supplying MeXico--wi'liug
or unwing-with a Government of stability
She desires to see the United States powerful
and prosperous; but assuming that, if let
alone, al the Mexican Gulf, the Antilles, Az
well as South America would soon be taken
possession Of France would have to fear the
worst for her manufactures, seeing now by
sad experience how precarious is tho fate OF
an industry which is reduced TO seeking its
chief raw material in one market alone, to all
tho yicissitudes of which it has to submit" 1t
is therefore in the interest OF France to pre-
serve Mexican independence and to maintain
the integrity OF its territory. Doing this, She
would have restored to the Latin race on
this side of the ocean its strength and prestige"
Nothing in the letter OF the Emperor Judi.
Gates that, in undertaking the Mexican expe-
dition, he had any direct design against the
United States. Ga the contrary, the state
ment that France has an "interest in the
power and prosperity of the Union" and only
objects to further extension OF her territory,
would seem to indicate that the Emperor hopes
for the restoration of the Union. The Empe.
ror was, however, most probably aware that
the progress of the expedition might lead to u
practical test of the Monroe doctrine, and he
undoubtedly expected that in such a case the
Government of the United States would be
unable to enforce its traditional policy.
The Emperor, in conclusion, expresses the
expectation, that Mexico regenerated will al
ways be favorable to France, not only fsOm

could only deepen this feeling. 1t may there

the Paper Manufacturers of this country with
reference to the recent enormous advance in
the prices of Paper, and the proposed abolition
by Congress of the duty (35 per cent? now

troyersy, deeming the Importance of the pro-
posed repeal enormously exaggerated on both
sides. Paper is too high-so is Paper Stock

duty on imported paper be taken of or not
unless prevented by the imitation and debass-
ment of tue currency. Were the duty repealed.

good effect in reducing the price of Rags to
