THE Postoffice Department is still at work
at the task of reducing the postage between
the United States and foreign countries.
The Postmaster General is at present ne
gotiating treaty with Spain, having that
object in view, as well as the establishment
of regular United States Postoffice agency
at Havana. Our postage account with the
Island of Cuba now amounts to nearly
100000, and is constantly increasing with
the enlargement of our commercial rela-
tions with the Cubans.; but we have but
little mail communication with Spain, and
consequently the great point in the treaty,
so far as we are concerned, will be to reg
ulate mail facilities with Havana to our ad-
vantage. The Postmaster General has had
severaIinterviews with the Spanish Minis
ter on the subject.

.erhe PoIIticaI siluation.c

The author of the communication, in an
other column, is, as he claims, Kepubli-
can, and has the credit, well founded we
think, of doing more to bring the late
President LINCOLN forward as candidate
for President, than any other living man.
To the hour of his death, Mr.. LINCOLN re-
garded, him as among his truest friends
and supporters and gave him his unreserved
confidence, which was never abused.
We commend the communication to our
Republican readers, of which we have
many. AS one who is adeep thinker and
honest in all he says, his communication is
entitled to be read with careful attention.

'sTbe prophetic warning of Charles Sum-

A CERTAIN French actress never would
tell herage, and of course the more she
refused to tell IL the more curious people
were to know IL. BY good luck-as the
multitude thought-she was summoned
as witness on q trial. The gossips rub
ber their hands and chuclSled. "Aha!
we shall know IL now. She must tell, or
go to prison for contempt of court. The
court was crowded with open-eared lis
teners. In French courts of justice the
witness does not stand i'm q box to give
evidence, but sits on stool, in the mid
die of the floor of the court, i'm front of
the presidents desk, and with no barrier
or separation between 1t and himself
The lady was ushered in, raised her right
hand to heaven, took the oath to speak
the truth, aud then seated herself on the
witness-stool. "Your name?" asked the
president. "Angelique eToujouISfleurie. !"
Il Your profession ?'' -"Artiste drama
,tique. - :" Your age?'' You might have
heard pin drop in the court, and every
eye was bent on the lady. She was driven
into a corner at lastl Foolish Paris pub
lie to think so! Angelique simply rose
from her seat, walked straight to the
presidents desk, and whispered the
secret in his ear. He nodded, made the
entry In his private notes, and smiling,
continued the rest of his interrogatory as
soon as she had resumed her place on
the stool. The public retired with min
gled feelings of disgust and admiration.
The trial had lost all further interest
and the president was known to be q
man of honor and gallantry, who would
never let pretty woman's cat escape

Tho Hon. Hen. Wade.

This distinguished, brave and reliable
advocate of the rights of man, and the
firm supporter of free Government, was
yesterday, in caucus, nominated as Presi-
dent of the Senate, and will to-day, be
elected to that position. He will thus
become acting Vice-President of the
United States. This position at this time
is one of great responsibility, and of more
than ordinary Importance. But Mr.
Wade is equal to it. There is in him no
element OF weakness. When the cause
of freedom was powerless and unpopular
in the Senate he was its fearless advocate.
In the dark days of the Republic he was
a tower of strength in that body, and in
| the whole course of the national struggle
for life he never gave utterance to an un-
certain sound. For his consistency, his
firmness, his honesty and his loyalty, he
is honored and esteemed by the people
and by his political opponents he has
always been respected. The selection
of Mr.. Wade is q high tribute to the man,
a credit to the Senate, and q source OF
pleasure to the people.-[Cin. Gaz.,

construction Bill and returned 1t to Con-
gress with his objections on Saturday,
Although returned in the last hours of

thought II impossible for Congress to act
upon II before adjournment, yet, without
moments delay and with unanipity
creditable to the Union majority, the bill
was at once taken up and passed, and Is
now law. The vote in the Senate was

OF this Bill and Its effect, Harper,

The Reconstruction bill was fully dis
cussed In Congress, aud probably no bill
was ever more thoroughly understood by
