THE POSTAL Jsu.Y.

ter General elsewhere published, which forms
the framework Of Mr.. Collamcss Postal Bill.
that said bill proposes to leave the particular
mode Of prepayment Of postage on news.
papers, whether By stamps OF by quarterly
accounts based on ciIculation-to the discrc
ton qf the Postmaster General. Ali the ar.
gumcnts which hare been advanced against
compelling the stamping Of newspapers exist
with equal force against allowing the Post
master General in his discret on to compe.
the same thing. Why provide for the exercise
Of discretion which should Rerer be exercised
but In one ways Why place in the hands Of
any officer unnecessarily the power to compel
any one newspaper or ali newspapers to be
prc-stampcd, while for each and every paper
in the country the only safe method must be
to pay the postage quartcrlye The time and
labor consumed in pre-stamping the great
dailies Fonld seriously interfere with the bu-
siness Of the country By compelling them to
20 to press several hours earlier, and thus pre-
vent the people from getting their news till
II was one day old. But the requirement
would hardly be less fatal to the weeklles
Which employ smaller force, and whose
issues would be siil more delayed BY the ne.
cessity Of putting postage stamp on each
paper. We hope the bill will require al.
newspaper postage to be prepaid quarterly On
the hasis Of the circulation as sworn to by the
conductor Of the newspaper, and with power
on the part Of Postmastcrs to examine, If
necessary, the books and accounts Of the
newspaper establishment to arrive at Its ci.-

REPEAL OF TILE BLACK LAWS.
MI. Hopkins, Of Grundy, to-day introduced

persons In this State.
This net shall take effect and be In force from
md aftcr tts passage. :.
On the introduction of this bill, tho Con.
perheads displayed evident signs distress, and
Miller OF Logan, leader Of the Southern senti-
ment of the House, jumped to his feet and
moved to lay the bill on the table, but there
we're about two votes to one against that dis
position Of the bill. Other members Of the
same persuasion thrust all sorts Of ridiculous
amendments at it, but they fell harmless at
the feet Of the Union side Of the House. The
bill was read first time and made the special
order for tomorrow. There will undoubtedly
be sharp debate when the bill finally comes
upfor action, but as have many timca said, 1t
will pass.
Senator Bushnell, Chairman Of the Judtci-
ary COMMITTEE, mas made Written report
upon the proposed repeal of the Black Laws.

The importance of probate law rs near

be considered TINT the whole Of the property,
real and personal, in the State, passes in re-
view under II nj least once in every genera
ti,n-p period Of but little more than thirty
y.ars. Taking two years for the average time
of lis passage through the court, every piece
Of property is in the hands OF the lawyers one
year in sixteen. Anything that can be done
to shorten this lime, or to lessen the conpli.

immense value TO the whole.communty.

canvass Of the subject led to the conclusion
