THE ENDLESS MATCH "A very use
fuf article, called the Endless Match.
says the S. L. Times, has made it's ap
pearance in market and is attracting
considerable attention. It consists of a
neat tin tube, about three inches in length
and little less than quarter of an inch
in diameter. In this is placed a match,
which Is run out of the open end Of the
tube, by means of slot, about one eighth
of an inch, wlrcn it IS desired to light it.
/ BY gentle friction it is iguitod the
same as any other match aud will contin-
tie TO burn by pushing it out slowly. BY
pulling the match back, or covering the
open end of the case with the cap used
to protect it while beil carried in the
pocket, it is easily extinguished To
relight it, needs but gentle friction as
before, and SO on until the entire match
is consumed. One Of the great aayant-
ages Of the new invention is, that the
match cannot be blown out, aud it can be
lighted after being immersed in water.

THE FRANKING PRIVILEGE.

We are glad to see that the abolition
of the franking privilege is being urged
upon Congress. The measure may not
carry but it perhaps will have the effect
OF preventing many of the abuses to
which the system is now subjected. We
have ourselves on several occasions receiv-
ed propositions for advertising a certain
patent medicine, mailed under New York
Congressman's frank. These propositions
were on oneor two occasions made nv an
advertising agent, and at others BY the
urn OF which the Congressman was
member. We have also received letters
OF business nature from private parties
sent under an Illinois Congressman's
frank. 1t is very possible that no blame
can be attached to the latter as the frank.
ing stamps can be easily counterfeited but
the whole system seems to be so liable to
abuse that in our Judgment it is better
that II should be abolished. The public
documents distributed by Congress men
could be directed by them to their prom
er destinations, and passed over to the
PoSt Once department. at Washington to
be forwarded. AS for letters and circu
lars, certain fixed amount of stamps
could be furnished to each member. By
this means the privilege of sending mail
matter without charge would be wholly
within the control of the Postmaster Cen
eral and not exercised by over three hun
dred persons unfortunately, as at pres

SUE MURpHY.-This person who is
becoming notorious through the papers,
is loyal Southern woman from Alabama,
who has petitioned Congress for the pay
ment of damages inflicted upon her pro-
perty, by our armies, to the amount of
$1,000. If her claim was the only one
it would be speedily allowed, but as there
are hundreds of millions Of dollars inYoy-
ed in claims Of the same nature, it is a
serious question as TO what action should
be taken. The probability is that no such
claims will be allowed, though Sen. Fow-
Ter of Impeachment fame threatens that
the South will repudiate the National

Our NEXT SENATOR.-The result of
the Legislative caucus on the 10Th, as
our readers doubtless all know, was in
favor of 1Ir. Carpenter. The contest was
much shorter than had been anticipated,
but the successful candidate gained stead
lily from the first ballot till the sixth when
he was nominated by majority of one.
Considering the intense excitement which
marked the whole contest, the result is
received with commemorate good feeling
throughout the State. Those to whom
was intrusted the important matter of
choosing a Senator have decided in Mr.
Carpenter s favor, and it is time enough
for us to censure their course when he
gives US cause. The strongest arguments
used aga nst him were furnished to his
opponents by himself in his speeches and
letters since be began to act with our par
ty; many of these he explains differently
than they have been usually understood,
and he is certainly the, best qualified to
say what was intended by them. Mr..
Carpenter is capable of comforting the
highest honor upon himself and the State
in the Senate, and we sincerely hope
that such will be the result of his cleo

NO MORE SUBSIDIES.

The Resolution which passed the
House on the 18th, against giving further
Congressional aid in the way of bonds,
money or lands, to railroads and other
corp orations, shows a disposition on the
part of Congress to retrench expenses
Which, will receive the hearty approval
of the public generally The building
of one Pacific railroad was national nec-
esslty, and the appropriations made by
Government IN pursuance Of that object
were wise and judicious; but more roads
than one across the continent. built by
Government money and lands, are luxur-
les which in these times We can not we'll
afford. All expensive schemes for COP
ening up the country for future de7el-
opment, are now out Of place--no necessi
ty requires them But a most pressing
necessity does require that the resources
of the country should be carefully hus-
banded and applied to the abatement of
the taxation which now rests so Cypress
lively upon the people.
The applications to Congress for grants
and subsidies are unusually numerous
this session and the people, having be-
come thoroughly aroused to the necess i
ty of rigid economy in the disposal of the
rational revenues, are sharply watching
the course of their Senate s and Repre-.
sentatives in Congress.
