CONSUMPTION or POSTAGE STAMPS
Twenty tons, or, by superficial measure
ment, forty-eight and a half square miles
of postage stamps have been used during
the year; enough to roof large township,
with all its houses, churches. barns, gar
dens, forests, and farms or, if you choose
TO make ribbon Of them, enough to reach
nearly from the equator 10 either pole, or
twice the length of the Mississippi river.
So that il everybody would be obligins
enough to Use the government stamp on
the envelope itself, the mere omission OF
these little extra bits Of paper would
tighten the mailbag by more than forty
thousand pounds, and save in paper fifteen
or twenty thousand dollars. The post
master general does not impart this infor-
nation in so many words, but he assures
Us that nearly $50 millions of stamps have
bean sold in the year past, besides nearly
forty millions of stamped envelopes and
a simple calculation reduces the story to
tho more tangible form we have given il.

eS- The Missouri Complication is no

ss- The Missouri Complication is not
entirely at an end. The United States
troops were at first ordered INTO the coun-
ties where Gov, Fletchers militia were
stationed, but were Withdrawn ON the
withdrawal of the militia. The militia
have since been sent back to the disturbed
districts, and warrants have been issued
but not yet served against tho militia
commander for violating the public peace
and committing various outrages on the
citizens. The militia, it seems, are in
tended to operate against bushwhackcrs
and to project the citizens. But they are
themselves charged with plunderirg. steal
ing and otherwise violating the laws which
they were designed to enforce. Judgment
must be suspended as 10 the merits of the
case until further developments. The
rumors are too conflicting to be relied
upon.

Is Slavery Really Abolished 2

This question was answered in the
affirmative by Secretary Seward with
great flourish of trumpets, in announcing
the ratification of the constitutional
amendment by three fourths of the States.
Slavery was for ever prohibited in the
United States The same ideas were
repeatedly cnunciated by every newspaper
and dcmagogue in the land, either in
double loaded editorial or pompous dccln-
nation. President johnson reiterated il
with emphasis in each annual message to
Congress, and sometimes from the stump.
The echo was taken up and repeated in
the old world, and the friends of free lam
everywhere held cainivals of rejoicing.
1t now seems that this rejoicing was
premature. While the loathsome carcass
OF slavery, an its original form. remains
yet unburied, its spirit is rife as when
before the rebellion, there was no limit
TO itae masters unbridcd passions in deal.
rag with his slaves, except that of self
interest. In North Carolina, an old law
remains in force which prohibits from,
voting all persons who have committed
such crimes rs deserve public whipping.
Accordingly, negroes are arrested upon
trltling o!6enses, carried before the n,npis-
trates, and, invariably, sentenced to the
whipping post, where they are tied up
and publicly scourgcd. This custom is
ostentatiou>ly approved by the President.
In Maryland, notice was recently posted
on the walls about Annapolis, signed by
the sheriff of the county, announcing the
public sale of negroes for a term of wears
in the State, under sentence of the Circui,
Court, and a correspondent o. Il morning

ton, TO have been maturcy considered
an permanently determined upon, TO
sell coored men whenever opportunity
occurs"
The Civil Rights Act. passed bv Cur.
gress at its last session, should prevent
t..h
unless it is enforced. We have an Excr-
utive whose sworn duty it is TO execute
the laws. but such oti,nscs as these are
neither prevented nor rcbukcd, although
committed within an hours ride Of the
Capital. In several of the States, lately
IN rebellion, tie negro is not allowed to
testify in courts, and everywhere the old
spirit of lawlcss oppr' ssion is prevalent.
From these circumstances. we ulser>c
that there is yet much to be accomplished
before the complete emancipation of this
race long held in bondage. The work i.
g!oron>ly commenced. but it must he
continued until the full measure If their
entrauchiscmcnt Is realized.
Education Is the next great step in the
amcliOration of the condition of this m,
fortunate lace. Those who have Lecn the
ncgro's opprcssors will never afford him
full protection. This he must himself
acquire and maintain through the ballet
box, and suffrage Is worse than useless,
dnlcss accompanied with intelligence.
W hen all this is accomplished, when II
freedmen have full protection IN equal
rights, civil and political, then, and not
I'LL then, will slavery be really abolshe |.
