THE POSTAL MONEY ORDER SYSTEM.
The new law of Congress in relation
to the money-order system was put in
force last week, and all the offices are
now operating under its provisions.
The working of the system is changed
in several respects, and orders of $50
and under are now sold, while under
the old system the maximum was $50
The fees for money orders have also
been changed, orders from 81 to $40
being now issued at ten cents, and over
$50 to $50, inclusive, at twenty-five
cents. Under the old law, when it was
necessary for duplicate to be issued,
an affidavit with stamp was first re-
quired, for which the party had to pay,
as also a fee for the new certificate.
Under the new law, post.masters can
administer caths free Of charge, and
the certificate is also furnished with
out cost-the only expense to the par
ty being the five-cent revenue stamp.
Besides these changes, quite number
of other Objectionable features have
been removed. 1t is stated that on
the I'd of August three hundred addi-
tional money order offices, mostly in
the South and West, will be put in
operation. The system is daily in
creasing in popularity.

To snatch the brow from care;

Spreads gladness everywhere;

That gems the lilly's breast;
A talisman for love, ms true
As ever man possessed.
As smiles the rainbow through the cloud,
When threat'ning storm begins
As music mid the tempest loud,

As springs an arch across the tide,
Where waves conflicting foam,
So comes this seraph to our side,
This angel of our home.

As the Gubernatorial elec.
tion is approaching, and tits generally con
ceded that the nominee is to come from New
Castle county, permit me to suggest the name
of EVAN c. SToTsENBURG, of this city, to
the Union State Convention, as a suitable
person for the office of Governor Mr.. Stots-
enburg has long been identified with the
business interests of Wilmington, and has
won high rank in the business community
from whom he would receive a generous
support. During the recent struggle to
maintain the Union, he was unceasing in his
efforts to strengthen the hands of the gov
ernment, and aid it in suppressing the
rebellion. Should he be the choice of the
convention as candidate ior this distin-
guished position he would be triumphantly
elected. WILMINGTON.

hitherto held sacred for educational pur-

SATURDAY. FE,

MERCANTILE MATTERs.-The commercial
editor of the New York Tribune, writing
upon the trade and business of the country,
in his article of Saturday last, says:--
The week closes upon an unsatisfactory
state of affairs in mercantile circles. Instead
OF large increase OF trade, buyers are do.
ing next to nothing, and demanding still
lower prices. Domestic goods are offered at
prices equal to ? cent decline, but arc
still neglected The movement of goods into
bond is large, and importers and iobbers
are steadily being loaded with commodities.
From the factories the advices are that stocks
are increasing and orders declining. The
West does not pay promptly, from the simple
fact of inability. Under declining prices
for farm produce, the small storekeepers
bills are not paid, the jobbers of the Yves
tern cities are crippled, and their creditors in
the Atlantic cities brought to point where
their paper lacks buyers at 10 o. Is per cent
per month, These results are the natural
effect OF the end of the Rebellion. and of
the termination OF the expenditures Of the
Government. The end is not yet, and those
merchants, jobbsrs and consumers, who are
most prudent now, will be the safest as the
season advances and lower prices made, un.
der the inevitable contraction of the cur.
