to cheat the Government Of postage. No cir
cular or document whatsoever goes from THE
TRIBUNE Office without being fully prepaid In
lawful stamps No man, with our consent or
our knowledge, franks anything from our es-
tablishment That wesell many thousand copies
of our paper to men in Washington and fifty
other cities is a notorious truth. They pay for
them-we send them--it is most creditable to
their LOYALTY to buy them. If, afterward, they
fall into the hands of persons who send them
free by their frank through the mails, the fact
is an additional and potent reason why the
whole franking privilege should be abolished.
The frank in any case and all cases is wrong. 1t
is a mean and besitating step toward aristo-
cratic privileges. There are members OF Con-
gress whose names are good for millions
others whose fists are equally powerful, in a
more practical way; but we can see no reason
why a man who gets $1,000 year for spending
six months in Washington should have greater
privileges in that great democratic institution,
the Government mail, than the poor devil who
works ten times as hard in POdunk for no fame
at all, and only $500 a year at the most. FAN
competition for patronage is right and proper
but when the Office of Government law-makeI
is debased to the depletion of the Government
revenue, for the furtherance of his own private
interests, we claim that the tax and postage
payers have at least the right OF remonstrance

The Eyening Post copies from several jour
nails which ii characterizes as Republican-1he
Buffalo Commercial and The ~ T. Times being
two of them-articles which denOunce as false
and scandalous any imputation of unworthy
motives to Senators chosen as Republicans who
vote to acquit Andrew johnson. Yet The
POST does not notice our averment that Senator
Fowler (who is one of those relied on to acquit
Johnson) himself demonstrated against the
failure OF the House to impeach in December,
saying that the Senate would do It's duty if
the House would give it chance-and that,
at a meeting at Senator Morgan's on the 10th
of January last, he made a speech wherein he
pronounced all Republican effort of little worth
when compared with the impeachment and
removal of Andrew johnson, and declared that
the blood of Union men daily shed by Rebels
in tho South would rest upon the souls of Con-
gress unless Johnson were thus elected from
office. We have this statement from several
Members of Congress who were present at that
meeting. We are assured that Mr.. Fowler has
for some weeks avoided free and friendly init
macy with Senators known to favor impeach-
ment. Our inference from these facts is unfa-
vorable to the honesty and purity of Mr.
Fowler's present hostility to conviction. VIII
The Post say wherein this inference is unjust
New-York tribune., 1868-05-16

Our midnight dispatches leave no doubt that
the Court will vote to-day upon the case Of
the People against Andrew Johnson. His Ex-
cellency's bosom friends, who have access to
his slate and know precisely what means he
has taken to convince men that black is white
and that he is not guilty of the offenses
charged in the Articles of Impeachment, say
that the Court will aequit; but Republicans who
do not speak rashly, and who have made ex-
haustive inquiry and a careful count, assure us
that the country is not to be surrendered to
the Rebellion. Mr.. Willey's is believed to be
the pivotal vote, and he is held to be safe on
two artices-possibly on three. Our friends IN
Washington are not over-confident; but they
have by no means lost hope.

Mr.. Garfield yesterday made an elaborate
argument in the House III favor of his bill, in
troduced on the 10th of February, to provide
for gradual return to specie payment. The
bill provides that on and after the 1st of De-
cember, 1868, the Secretary of the Treasury
shall exchange gold for legal-tender notes, at
the rate of one gold dollar for one dollar and
thirty cents in currency; on the 1st of Janu-
ary 1869, at one delar and twenty-nine cents,
and on the first of each succeeding month at
similar rates, until the exchange is dollar for
dollar and that on and after June l. 1871, the
United States will pay gold for all its legal
tender notes, dollar for dollar. Ii leaves the
question of contraction or expansion of the
currency to future legislation

the wheat crop is represented as unusuaTv
large and in a promising condition. Frn,
California, which now has become an important
source of supply, the prospect is equally en-.
couragiug. Our interior regions of Nevada

largely upon our graDaries, are certain to raiSe
sufficient for their own consumption. When
we consider that the crops of the United State.

to reach an average, it is manifest that Wa
shall soon have cheaper bread, and that new
impulse will be given to business. Our pros.
perity does not depend upon finding market
in Europe, but in having our grain consumed
at home and paid for in the products of our
various industries. Each year we are adding

In an attempt at defense against our ex-
posure of its abuse of the franking privilege
to promote its own private interests, The En-
press cries out "You are another" and says
that members Of Congress are franking The
TRIBUNE this way and that IL members of
Congress buy The TRIBUNE, and circulate it,
they show their good taste and judgment If
they mail it under their frank, every instance
is an additional argument against the franking
privilege. The present difference between The
TRIBUNE and The Express is that The TRIBUNE
pays its own postage when it sends out bust
ness circulars, while The Express has them
franked by the Hon. James Brooks. But no man
concerned with THE TRIBUNE is using his priv
ilege, or asking others to use such privilege

Civil war continues to rage in Japan. The
Tycoon has not, as was reported some time

to be thus far victorious, for it is announced
that his army had arrived within few hours
