\ NICE REroHr The New York .Suu'S
Washington correspondent thus writes:
/ ''It is no longer considered respectable
or prudent even for ladies to go unat-
/ fan1o1 int ,rhl., Is
Senate, or the reception room Of the
House Notorious females are seen about
these places, sending in their cards fa-
miliarly to various well-known Senators
and members who control patronage in
the Departments, and who have hereto
fore secured Offices for persons of more
than doubtful reputc. Men who spout
very strongly about moral ideas are cx-
actly those that have been most noted in
this regard. If a fraction of what is
known here was published, what sensa-
tion there would be, and how some ficti-
tious reputation, would fall!''
! These are the fellows who make laws
for the country. prescribe the rules of
honor, claim all the morals. us we'll as all
the spoons, and finally require Southern
men to boot-lick as we'll as bribe them
We go in for letting these fellows severe
ly alone, until such time as Heaven
shall appoint for getting good lick at
them. There's some treason" for YOU,
says the Augusta COnsiituiondlist.
! The New POSTAGE STAMPS The Post
Office Department has completed its Sc
lection Of the designs for the new series
OF postage stamps to take the place of
those now i'll use, which were adopted by
late Postmaster General Randall, about
one year ago. The new design will be
about onc-third larger than the present
stamp. or the size of the old stamps, and
consists entirely of profile busts taken
from tho standard and original marbles,
executed by artists of acknowledged repu-
tation. Some of the stamps have already
been engraved. proofs of which have been
approved by the Post Office Department,
as we'll as by the President and Cabinet,
as the most appropriate and elegant in
oil respects of any issued by any nation.
They will comprise the heads of the fol-
lowing distinguished Americans one
