Report OF the Postmaster General.

This document shows the prosperous state Of
the postal service in the United States The
war has stimulated correspondence to an ex-
tent that has almost doubled the number of
letters by post. The Department has been
self-supporting, but will not be so the coming
year, owing TO the expense Of opening mail
communications South. There are about 30
900 post offices in the United States. and. of
course, rs many Postmasters, Of which the
President appoints about 700 and the Post
master General the balance. The report saws:
The introduction of stamped envelopes bear
ing request for the return To the writers Of
unclaimed letters has considerably increased
the sale of envelopes. and is believed to have
diminished the returns TO the Dead Letter
Office.
Business cards are printed on envelopes
without additional cost, when ordered in guam
titles not less than one thousand for the same
parties.
To encourage the purchase of request en-
relOpes, the law should be changed so rs to
allow the return Of such letters to the writers
free Of postage.
As stamped envelopes are cancelled bv use
and therefore safer against fraud than those
with stamps attached, il is submitted whether
the Postmaster General should not be author
lied in his discretion to furnish them a. the
separate stamps are now, without reference TO
the cost Of manufacture.
New stamps have been adopted of the de-
nomination Of D. 10 and 20 cents for preparing
postage on packages of newspapers forwarded
by publishers or news dealers under the au-
thority Of law, whereby revenue will be
secured hitherto lost 10 the Department
Under the act for the relief of postmasters
who have been robbed by bodies of armed men.
seNenty-seVen cases have been decided, and
allowances made TO the amount of 81 .207 -.

yuecriu. of CONGRESS.

Congress meets next Monday. The session
will, in many respects, he the most important
ever held The great question before it will
be that of reconstruction whether this Union
shall be restored on the plan urged by Presi'
dent johnson, or whether the southern states
are to be kept out Of the Union Indefinitely,
until their people are willing TO submit to
measures which New England prescribes for
them, but is not willing to prescribe for herself.
There is no doubt but, Sc far the people
are concerned both North and South, large
majority are in favor of President Johnson's
plan and opposed to that of the radicals
The South may be said to be two-thirds in
its favor. The Democracy OF the North are
unanimously for it. O.e-thirl of the Re-
publican party is for it. So that, altogether,
a very large minority Of all the people o: the
United States are unqucstionably for it
And vet, tEeee is scarcely doubt but O
majority in both houses of congress will
oppose it. This opposition cannot fail, in
time. to irritate the President, for it is well
known he is not a man like Lincoln, who
yielded to ''pressure,' but like Andrew Jack
son, opposition will only make him the firm
err. The contest in congress will then be
narrowed down to one in which the radicals
will stand on enc side, and the Democrats
and conser,a alive Republicans, backed by the
President, will stand On the other side. That
q session IL which parties will thus stand
confronted must necessarily prove an tex
citing one, is self:erIdent.
In spite of the vast influence of the Elk.
ecutive, however, We believe that the back
bone of the radicals has been SO much
stitfened b. the late elections, that, being
largely in the majority, they viii not be over

dent then will have 10 recourse but to throw
himself upon he country. He must make
his issue in the election of the mex. congress.

The recent election in Louisiana presents
two or three features WORTHY of especial
mention. The Democracy stood fairly and
sluarely upon the platform Of President
Johnson's restoration policy, aud elected
every candidate on their state, congress iioaal
and legislative tickets. Not an opposition
candidate was chosen. Such result, We
think, is without precedent in any state
Some opposition il every legislative body is
