1 ,t RALEIGH, n. G, July 80.
To Kemp P. Bottle & j. w. Hook, St.
Nicholas Hotel, N. Y: ae'
GENTLEMEN: In reply to you dispatch
I have 70 state that the great body of the
people of this State are loyal and submis-
sive to the national authority; that do
not spprehend that Union men will be
hanged or punished that if all troops
should be Withdrawn and we should not
have an efficient local police guard, there
might and probably would be disturbances
in some locations. Upon the whole there
is no ground for experimenting that emil
grants will involve themselves in strife by
coming to North Carolina. Let them
come with confidence In the future our
people generally will be glad to see them.
Very respectfully, IL

| NEW sTAMPBD EEV8LoPEs.
The Postoftice Department. has shown a
desire to meet the wants of the business
| public by the issue of two new varieties Of
stamped envelopes viz, ordinary letter
size with double-rsts, six cents, stamps, and
official size besling single-rate, three cents
stamps. Heretofore, in sending letters
weighing one half ounce, or more, in letter
size government envelopes, it has bee1
necessary to use an adhesive stamp to pay
the excess of postage, thus disfguring tn
appearance of the envelope and causing
an increase of labor IN the work of cancel
lation. So in regard to oficialsize. Will
an enclosure of less weight than half 81
ounce, the use of stamped envelopes neces
STATED the loss of one rate of postage. Bot
of those inconvenience are obviaied by tn
issue of the new envelope, which will 500
be for sale st the principal postofhet
throughout the country. The envelope
: are of new appearance, having emboase
stamps in the usual size; the color of th
letter size, purple, official size, chocolate.
