work far better than the Government system

Postmaster General Cresswell is in earnest
in his endeavors to secure the repeal OF the
franking privilege, and the letter which he
communicated yesterday to the Committees of
the Senate and House is, in its way, as effective
a blow as he has yet dealt The truth is, our
Thanking privilege is an enormous anomaly, a
tax upon the transmission of every letter from
a Door mother to her son in a distant state, a
tax on every newspaper taken by farm
hand or day laborer Without the aggrayating
incubus of the franking privilege the
rates of postage might be very soon and very
considerably reduced. The whole people pay
now for the miserable sQuandenng policy
which loads down the mail cars with tuns of
freight sent under Congressional franks
which nobody reads and very few want.

We are glad to see that Dir. Beecher has
taken the trouble to expose the horrible state
of some of our prisons and jails. "Our jails,"
said he, in his sermon of last Sunday night,
"arc disgrace to civilization Some of them
"are fit to put wild beasts in, but most Of
"them are not" In proof Of the justice Of
this remark of Mr.. Beech6r, look, for example,
at the Tombs in this city-a prison which has
been condemned by nearly every Grand Jury
which has sat in New-York for the last ten
years-a prison built on deadly swamp, and
crowded with human beings only less densely
than the Black Hole of Calcutta. Look at
Jefferson Market Prison, with all its obscene
and disgusting denominations. Look even at
many of our police lock-ups, foul and cruel
beyond description We know of one person
who was confined in one of these places on a
false charge, and whose health was thereby
painfully injured for years and we knew of
another person who, after q nights incarcera-
ton on a frivolous charge, died from the effects
of the treatment. In regard to nothing could
there be a louder demand for reform than in
regard to the condition of our prisons, our
petty prisons in the city particularly. No spe-
cial call is made for philanthropy, but simply for
dccency and humanity. Mr.. Beecher is to be
applauded for calling attention to the subject ;
and if he knew half as much about it as some
of those connected with tho press are COM
pelled to know, he would continue to expose
this disgrace to civilization in terms not less
vigorous than those he employed on Sunday

We have at sundry times had something
not wholly complimentary to say concerning
Mr.. Senator MattOon. We have even gone 50
far as to hint-in toerably explicit English, we
trust-that he was a corrupt legislator and a
disgrace to any party. TO such simple souls
as may at the time have deplored our plain
speaking and Iamented the disposition Of The
TRIBUNE to turn occasionally upon its party
friends, we commend the refreshing evidence
in a case yesterday tried in which Mr.. Mattoon
is a party. 1t reveals several things. 1t shows
what Mr.. Mattoon thought a Committeeman
might properly do, what a legislator might
properly do, what a poor Spectator he was,
and how ready he was to have others to bear
his losses. Above all, it reveals what Mr..
MattOon thinks would degrade him. This point
is a curious one. The pensive public is not
likely to consider that the answers which Mr..
Mattoon declined to give could have injured his
character in the least. In fact we never
knew character safer from injury Whole
volumes of evidence could Mt make it shade

Thirty thousand dollars will hardly cover the
loss of one credulous or careless Institution.
We say careless, because bank officer is sup
posed to reverse the legal maxim that every
man is presumed to be honest until proved
otherwise. 1t is certainly safe i'll Wall-st. to
assume that every man who wants money Is q
subject for severe examination. If reports are

Kerosene oil is deadly in more ways than
one. Last week Miss Mettie Bulkland of
Meridian, in this State, being fearful of sleep
ing in the dark, repOsed with the wick of her
lamp partly turned down. In consequence of
this economy, Miss Bulkland came very near
going to place in which we have reason to
believe that kerosene lamps are never burned;
for she was found nearly suilocated. However,
perhaps it is pleasanter to die by suffocaton
than to die by burning; and we advise those
who are determined to die bY bad oil, not to

One of the obstacles in the way Of a speedy
settlement of the Census bill was yesterday
removed. Gen. Garfield asked that the qucs-
ton of apportionment involving the relative
strength of States and sections in the House
for the next ten years, be left out altogether,
for subsequent decision in a separate act. The
energy with which this bill is pushed IN the
opening weeks of the session is legislative
sensation as novel as it is agreeable.
