PorAToEs BY MAIL.-We have noticed a
paragraph going the rounds of the papers
about the ''abuse of the franking privilege"
by members Of Congress, which says that
some of the honorable NJ. C.s and their
friends, amoug a great many other dis
reputable things, send their dirty clothes
home to their constituents to wash Be
this as it may, it does not compare with

Minnesota Congressman, and en- route to

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Of our merchants,
in anticipation of close times this summer
are trying to retrench expenses, and many
of them strike at their county paper the
first thing they do.
We are influenced by self-intcrest of
course, but still we think they do wrong.
The local newspaper helps to build up To-
cal trade. 1t brings emigrants to the coun-
ty, and is cheap means of communication
b,tween individuals and the general pub
lie. For trihe sometimes, a dollar, or
even a quarter of one, a merchant sends
his name and place Of business, with q
notice Of his goods, all over the country
TO accomplish the same thing without a
county paper would cost him hundreds of
dollars. Is it fair to cast off this cheap,
and easy means Of talking to the public,
now that you have used the paper as long
as you think it will bring customers, be-
cause times are hard? lfyou would have
u paper when you may really need it, you
must help it along when you think you
do not need it.
Merchants too seem to forget the than
kee jobs, we have SO repeatedly given all,
and act upon the supposition, that because
they have paid bills which were made ru-
inously low, because they asked it, that
they are under no further obligations to
printers. If business men would be sup
ported themselves they ought to be liberal
with their best friends, the local papers,
and not in the spirit of charity, but of hon
est duty. A country paper can scarcely
be so worthless as to be unworthy of
public patronage. The better country
papers are paid, the better the papers must
become.
We observe the papers vf adjoining
towns are filled with advertisements, mer-
chants seem more liberal too-for instance
at DEBORAH and McGreger, at each place
we know of many stores, that do not do
one quarter as much business as our third
rate establishments, and yet they advertise
four times as much as our best houses

graphic report, dated June A, from the
quarantine inspector at Bagdad,
states that whatever may be the real
character of the malady, its symp-
toms are really those of the pest
typhus fever, glandular swellings,
carbuneles, and livid blots on the
skin. The inducing causes of the
outbreak are supposed to have been
the miasma following the late floods,
the poverty, filth, and the crowded
state in which the people live.
Prompt measures have been taken by
the Bagdad authorities to prevent
the spread of the malady.

AN article in recent number of
the New Orleans Crescent, attributed
to the pen of Gen. s. B. Buckner,
gives expression to wise and concili-
at0ry spirit:
Here and there, throughout the
land may be heard the gentle whis-
perings Of peace and good will shilling
the cries of vengeance in one section,
and soothing the Affections of the
other. This Christian spirit, in true
harmony with the impulses Of patriot
ism. would heal the deep wounds of
the country, forget the contentious of
the past, and reunite in fraternal
bonds the whole people of country
so recently torn by internal dissen-
sions. Our people should not turn
deaf ear to these patriotic pleadings.
Nor have they done so. From the
day of the surrender of our armies to
the present moment they have mani
tested disposition to return, not only
with resignation, but with hearty good
will, under the Government from
which they sought to sever them
selves. 1
Without exception, the recognized
leaders of the South have .counseled
patience, submission and obedience.
Even where laws of an acknowledged
revolutionary character, or of ques-
tionable onstitutionality, have impo-
sed upon us an arbitrary system of
government, opposed to all the tradi-
tions of republican institutions, our
people, instead of meditating an oppo-
sition which the civilized world would
justify, have sought only to conform
to the, onorous conditions which are
imposed, to reorganize their society on
a new basis, and, forgetting past
wrongs and present suffcrings, to move
forward with renewed hope in the
race of prosperity, thus adding, by the
additional strengh which their sup
port will give. to the greatness and
the glory of reunited country"
Gen. Buckner, and men like him.

day than johnson and Stanbery.

The Boston Commonwealth,

The Boston Commonwealth, a
straight radical paper, relates Judge
Carriers questioning of Gen. Grant in
relation to the Presidency, and gives
the Generals reply as follows:
To which Gen. Grant replied that
he really did not feel DESTROYS of be-
coming President of the United
States; that he had been honored and
trusted in degree that was sur
prise to himself; and get he felt that,
If the people called upon him to be-
come candidate for the Presidency
of the party that had been for the acar
for the preservation of the. Union, he
could not feel that he ,oas at liberty to
decline; and that, as matter of
course, he could have nothing what
ever to say, in such case, to the
second person on the ticket; that as
also the first place on the ticket was
a matter for the wisdom of the peo-
pie to determine, and he certainD
could have no objection to Mr.. Wade
which is taken by the Wade men
to mean that Gen. Grant is in the
field. Yes! and we will venture the
guess that the ticket will be Grant
and Wilson.
