Postal Fnve1onas

The Postofice Department has shown a
desire to meet the wants of the business pub-
lie by the issue of two new varieties of the
stamped envelopes, viz: The ordinary letter
size, with double rate, six cent. stamp. and
the official size bearing the single rate, three
cent stamp. Heretofore in sending letter
weighing half an ounce or more in the letter
size Government envelope it has been neces-
sary to use an adhesive stamp to paw the az.
cess OF postage, thus disfguring the appear
ance of the envelope and causing an increase
OF labor in the work of cancellation. So in
regard to the official size stamped envelopes,
with an enclosure of less weight than. a. half
ounce the use of the stamped envelope ne
cessItated loss of one rate of postage Both
OF these lnconveniences are obviated by the
issue of the new envelopes, which will soon
be for sale at theprincipal postofices through
out the country. The envelopes are of neat
appearance, having the embossed stamps in 4,
the usual form the color of that of the letter
size being purple and that of the official size
chocolate

CELLULAR IRON BRIDGEs.-In inouirinp
INTO the origin Of cellular iron bridges, the
Mechanics Magazine observes that to
Thomas Paine is due the credit ofintroducinr
this system. He made working models Of
bridges in America in 1886, and two years
later he was in London patenting his ideas,
which he took from nature, referring to the
method of construction, Another idea. also,
is that of increasing the strength of matter
by dividing and combining it in cellular
form, and so causing it to act over larger
space than it would occupy in a solid state.
The quills of birds, bones of animals. reeds
and such like, were his models in this respect.
Paine, in 1888, had a rib of ninety feet span
made at Rotterdam, on his principle, which
stood tested load of twice its own weight.
This success led him to have bridge made,
consisting of five ribs, or one hundred and
ten feet span, which was erected in field at
Paddington, where it stood for about 2 year
Palne's political tendencies, however, drew
him from his engineering pursuits, and so he
lett others to profit by his bridge designs, and
the bridge over the Wear, in Sunderland, was
taken from his model.

COLD BLooDED MURDERs.-A man nam
ed Aldridge, formerly sheriff of McNairy CO..
Tenn, with a gang of fifteen men, went in
search of man against whom they had some
private grudge Finding him near Medon,
on the Mississippi Central railroad, he shot
him dead in the road, the whole party after
wards riding their horses over him. Marks
or the horses hoofs were on the BODY of the
murdered man. Aldridge and party started
ott in the direction of Purdy, and, meeting
two old men, aged 'about 60 and 70 years
against whom he had some private malice, he
shot and killed them also.

what Shall we Do with HtmY

~ = DO NAEA H1EM
This IS the question troubling many
well meaning persons. The ''him" doe,
not mean their sell, or any special person
with whom they are related. It refers
to class whom some of the enquirers
contemn and pretend to despise; others
again, to patroni5e and pity. We mean
the negros
The question troubles them. We are
sorry for this, but so it is. It has done
SO for several years past. Tt has plung
ed the nation into civil war, deluged 1t
with blood, and piled up vast indebted
ness. It stillscontinues to trouble them.
Our reverend friend, DR.. Summers, who
has labored SO long for our spiritual vel:
tare (?) was much affected BY this ques-
ton onshis late return to Nashville.
1t seems to have become a mania,
One set Of people declare we won't work.
and must be made. Anotheris afraid that
a war Of races will arise. Another
thinks we will abandon our Southern
homes, and go North, to a land where
bhey occasionally have negro riots. An.
other thinks we must be made 10 an;
crate, leave the country, clear out incon-
tinently
Now, dearly beloved friends, we can
solve yonr problems. A few words will
suffice Do justly By the negro, and then
let him severely alone
That is all that is required. AS Brevet
Major General Saxton, Of Sonth Caro-
lima, once said to a party Of we'll meaning
gentlemen from Boston, who were in
curing into the Freedmen's condition at
Port Royal: swell, gentlemen, all |
have to say is, that this negro squestion
has good deal Of human nature in it-
a great deal"
That's the rub. If you will remem-
Der that all will be well. We are not
exceptional beings, we are human. In
these dark bodies run the same red run
ming blood. Beneath, beat hearts as !
warm and true as ever awoke to the i
glance Of love, or throbbed with honor's
high emprize.
Deal with US justly. Tell US not that {
we will not work, when it was our toll
that enriched the South. Talk not to !
US OF war Of races for that is to saw :,
hat yoa intend commencing to butcher >
rs, whenever you can do so with impu-
atty. All we want is the right of men.
Give US that and we shall not mofest
vou We do not intend leaving the !
country. No land can be fairer in our !
yes, than the sunny one beneath whose !
kles we have lived. We were born &
lere. Most Of US will die here. We !
IRE Americans, and prouder Of the fact !
han ever.
Deal justly with US That's all we !
want. That we mean to have, come !
what may. !,

"That's what's the matter" If is ha.
tired OF the negro progress, it is hatred
OF his freedom, of his manhood of the
rights which belong to that condition,
and the consequent curtailing of the
beastial privileges which are now eniov.
ed by the vicious and the rufianly.
We are rather surprised at such men
as General Cox not perceiving the posi-
ton IN which they are placed by the ar
guments they advanced. We regret
still more, that he should lend the WEIGHT
of his name and influence to sath an is
issue. Its playing into the hands of
his and our enemies Look how admi.
rngly this letter is inserted in the reac.
tlonary journals everywhere. AS a
matter of policy it is a blunder, if not
worse. The necessity of race-separation
IS not now on the carpet 1t is not in
the ring. The politician who unneces-
sarlly drags n such subjects only aids
his foes, giving them handle to work
with, and alternating far more friends
than he gains.
This whole question of manhood suf-
frage is a simple one, and is, if men will
look at it from the simple and human
stand point of wise equity, entirely
disconnected with any question Of the
races being able to live together. We
nave done SO for two hundred years, as
master and slave. We hroa0 aOe can ha,s
y harmony so'h the soh5tes as treemen, if
'nly allowed'to. Ifthere shall hereafter
arise justifying General Cox'sA
ears, mark what we say: cit will not
row out Of the bestowal of civil rights
pon us; it will not come from the per-
Getting of our position as feemen, but
vii come out of attempts to hinder pro-
ress, and debar Is from the rights of
nan, as understood in this Republic"
There is but one other word to ada
ere. 1t is to warn the country of fact
orne out by all history. 1t is this A
eople can be kept in complete bondage
luch easier thah be retained in a partial
ondage. The planters of the British
