The Convention of Postmasters assembled ct
Washington included functionaries from New
York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Boston, Balti-
more and Indianapolis. II has sent to the
Postmaster General the result of its delibera-
tions in series of recommendatio for postal
reforms. These are nearly all excellent.
They recommend great deal better box than
that now in use at the street corners. They
also, in speaking good word for the new
stamps, recommend that the department.
secure "a safer and better article Of gum. !"
Better than all, they favor q reduction Id
newspaper postage They are men Of sense,
perception and progress. In what they say
OF the registration Of letters they seem TO be
penetrated with the notion that the system is
thoroughly ridiculous, and wish to hint deli
cately that 1t is possible to make it less 80.
They recommend that the fee for the registra-
t0n Of letters be reduced from fifteen cents to
six cents, and that the people be persuaded
to abandon the registration system in favor Of
the money order system. Although the gov
ernment accepts fee for registration, this
does not make It responsible for the loss Of
registered letters. The registration fee only
guarantees that more care will be taken of the
registered letter. This is an admission that
the government takes less care than it might
Of other letters; and such an admission is
itself piece of official impudence.

JOHN PosT ON HIS RIGHTs.-John Post
is ready to strike for his rights. He
is evidently patient, long-enduring, much
exasperated man. He says he is humane
man. Nay, he is very fond Of his horse.
He is so fond of him that though he has only
owned him two years he values him five times
more than his real worth. What could give
the horse this quintuple value to Post but
love for him. This is true affection. Yet
Post, thus loving his horse, is accused of cru
city to animals in the person Of that equine
treasure. Could there be more poignant in
suit to man of gentle instincts? Is it any
wonder that Post is ready to shoot? We do
not believe that the abuse of which John Post
complains is Of such rare occurrence as it
ought to be. Mr.. Bergh's subordinates are
often so extra vigilant that they see cruelty to
animals where none Is committed. We have
heard, ON the best authority, of case in
which an attempt was made to arrest driver
because he had some difficulty in the street
with balky horse. A less ardent zeal in the
enforcement of the law would better accom-
plish it's humane purposes.

THE FRIEND OF LoaAN.-Logan also has q
friend. This friend thinks that Logan was

the bullet was feeler-a thing thrown out to
bring Logan to the confessing point, so that
he might tell all about the Rogers murder.
wants to know why there is not as much noise
made over the murder of Logan as there was
over the murder of Rogers. This, O friend
OF Logan, is because the community feels that
there are some men it can spare very well and
others that it must regret. Zone man is as
good as another in most respects; but there
is little prejudice in favor Of an honest man

THE AMERICAN BISHOPS AND INFALLI-
BrIITY.-It is reported from London that the
American bishops are opposed to infallibility.
We do not lay too much stress on this report; /;
nor do we care much whether it is true or
false What we do know is that the American
people properly so called will have nothing 10
do with Roman Catholicism If Roman Catholi-
cism Identifies itself with so absurd dogma
as the personal infallibility of the Pope.

The BOARD OF ILL HEALTH.A startling
instance Of the incapacity of the Board of

brought to light by one Of it's inspectors. 1t

Of carelessness or oversight not quite 50 bad

thing--prosecute the doctors who attended
these cases and failed to report them.

xaprissnnont for Debt Abolished In Eng.
land.


Few Of those reforms which are slowly bu!
surely made in England can have relieved a
heavier pressure of accumulated distress and
agony than the abolishment, on New Years
Day, of the law Of Imprisonment for debt.
Important notifications had already been
gradually made in the English laws relating to
debts, notifying materially the barbarous
legislation which reproduced in degree tho
cruelty exhibited towards debtors in the early
laws of the Athenians and in the Roman law
of the Twelve Tables.
The history Of debtors prisons in London
alone would reveal an unwritten and almost
incredible sum of human wretchedness. 1t has
supplied biography with startling anecdotes
and romance with some of its most thrilling
pages. What scene must have been pre-
sented at midnight in the White Cross street
prison on the opening of the new year, when
the governor Of the prison having notified tho
inmates that they were at liberty to depart,
thirty-one Of the ninety-four prisoners were
welcomed by the crowd ofrelatives and friends
anxiously awaiting them outside, and sixty

next day because they had no homes to 60 tol
The injustice and inexpediency of the old laws
relating to debt have at length been acknow-
lodged in England, as they previously had been
in tho United States and in France. But there
is still room for further reform, inasmuch az
the new law does not cover judgments obtained
In county courts, and does not reach the poorer
class of debtors. Even here in the United
States, and particularly in New York city.
there is also room for additional protection Of
unfortunate debtors against merciless creditors.
The Legislature at Albany might well provide
that Imprisonment for debt should no longer be
practically possible here, as it is at present.
Ludlow Street Jail, into which any poor debtor
is now liable to be thrown, without warning,
on the complaint, founded or unfounded, of ON
INSCRIPTIONS creditor, that he or she is about
to leave the country, and where his or her tor
ture may be indefinitely prolonged, is blot
upon our civilization.

THE CUBAN MEETING last night proved =
lamentable fzzle, owing to the insane desire Of
Cassius M. Clay, who was the first great gun,
to talk more about Clay than Cuba. The
crowd got impatient and demanded more Cuba !;
but Clay refused to be moulded to their will
like clay In the potters hands. An hproar
ensued, which even the philosopher Greeley
failed to calm, and the meeting ended with no
satisfaction to the Cuban patriots.

THE CONNECTICUT STATE TEMPERANCE Con-
vENTIoN, in session at Hartford, yesterday
boldly took hold of question which has for y
long time been stumper to the advocates of
total abstinence. They discussed the fact that
intoxication is almost unknown in European
countries where beer drinking is common, and
finally came to the conclusion that it was the
result Of race or temperament, and that it
might be SO in Europe, but it would not do

THE DISTRACTIONS AT HE'LL GATE. A letter
from General Newton relating to the feasibility
Of cutting canal through Hallett's Point, in
He'll Gate, has been communicated to the
House by. the Secretary of War. The General
does not favor the idea Of canal but prefers to
go on with the work Of removing the rocks in
the passage. He says that millions are saved
to the government by prosecuting the work
itself instead Of letting it to q contractor.

Our latest news from France is even more
reassuring than 1t has been for some days.
A telegram dated in Paris at ten o'clock last
night, represents the city as being per-
fectly tranquil at that hour and all ap-
pearance Of agitation subsidized. On the
occasion Of the execution Of Traupmann
there were great crowds in the streets |;
but the manifestation Of feeling was directed
against the cnlprit exclusively. The scene Of
execution was well guarded. It appears from
further dispatches that the trial of Prince
Pierre Bonaparte will take place at Versailles,
and that at the same place the High Court will
take cognizance of the offence of Prince Murat
1t Is most unfortunate thing for the Emperor
that he should have two such cousins on hand.
But as we have said before, the Emperor is
not to be held responsible for the sins of all of
his relatives. If the army remains faithful
there can be no doubt that Napoleon will re-
main master of the situation. The French
army is a dangerous power 1t is not unused
to changing masters. The Bourbons Of both
branches know this to their sorrow; and even
the first and greatest of the Bonapartes had
taste Of this bitter experience. There will be
the less danger Of the army proving unfaithfhl
If the crowds are kept off the streets

NEW VIEws OF SwINBURNE. time ago
we exposed very freely certain enormous
abuses that had crept into the administration
of the Quarantine at this port. At that time
the Health Officer found champions in nearly
all the city papers. They were ready to sus-
tain him on every possible account against our
charges. Now they give us another tune. By
the dispatches of the Tribune and Times we
are happy to see that, though late, the other
papers fully sustain all we alleged. They
assent that the enormities Of the Quarantine
abuses are scarcely ft to publish. Better late
than never.

THE INCOME TAx-The Committee on Ways
and Means of the House reported resolution,
which was passed, declaring the intent Of the
Income Tax law to be that the tax is payable
up to 1871. The law says that it shall con-

makers are better able to define the true intent
of it than ordinary people.

Pierre Bonaparte and Prince Murat are to be

THE VINGINIA BILL.-Mr. Edmund's amend
ment, providing for test oath for members of
the Virginia Legislature, was adopted in the
Senate yesterday and engrafted on the House
bill. This will make it necessary, even If the
bill is passed as amended, to send itback to the
House for concurrence in the amendment, and
consequently renders the early admission Of
Virginia and an endorsement Of President
Grants policy very doubtful questions. The
vote in the House was 50 largely in favor of
Mr.. Bingham's original bill that even the tao
tics of the terrible Butler may not prevail to
force concurrence onsthe obnoxious amend
ment but he may by superior strategy tack
some additional device to it which will send it
back again to the Senate and probably keep it
bouncing between the two ends Of the Capitol
until Grant and Virginia, out Of patience, will
CRY with Mercutio, "a plague o both your
houses!"

WoMENs R1GHTs AT WAsHIN6ToN-SEN-
AToR PoMERoY AT THE HELM.--From the pro-
ceedings of the Women's Rights Convention
at Washington yesterday it will be seen that
Senator Pomeroy is working like . beaver in
the cause, and that in proposing to establish it
by Congress in the District Of Columbia and
in the Territories, including Utah, he means
business. Who knows but that he may turn
up as the womens rights candidate for the
next Presidency? Certainly he is in q position
to head off all competitors, and he is going the
right way to do it.

Tho Brooklyn Ferry.

The people who sleep in Brooklyn will be
delighted to hear that the Union Ferry Com
pany does not run its boats for the sake of
making money. This is, perhaps, the most
refreshing thing that has come to their notice
this long while, and their gratitude to the
unselfish capitalists who run five ferries with
out mercenary thought ought to express
itself in monumental brass. They must rejoice
to know that the company wants to do this
thing for ten years longer, and therefore seeks
renewal Of it's ruinous lease. This company
wants q new lease just now for this reason -
The Bridge Company take ground that en-
croaches on their present position, and this
will compel them to build a new slip But
their lease runs out in a year, and it will not
pay to build new slip for years use hence
they want a new lease to justify the extrava-
gance of new slip. They will have to have
it, no doubt, for it is such bad investment
this ferry business, that perhaps no one else
would apply for the lease, and the people
might be left without the means to get to
Brooklyn. How could the Mayor have the
heart to ask these self-sacrifcing persons to
lower the rate Of fare to one cent?

RoBEsoNs Bic IDEAs.--Mr. Dawes, in his
assault on the extrayagant expenditures with
which the administration threatens us, comes
tremendously to the support of those allega-
tions against Mr.. Robson that were made the
other day by Neptune's first cousin, our keen
old grandfather, Gideon Welles. WelIes re-
minded Robson that he was making great
splurge with the navy, but making it on money
he was not authorized to spend. Behold his
estimates. He wants three million and half
for q year, and Gideon did with half million.

THE STATE CANAL CONVENTION. The Canal
Convention at Rochester was opened in grand
style. The great speech of the day was from
Horatio Seymour, who advocated the abolition
Of the contract system, the placing Of the
canals absolutely under the Canal Commits
sioners, with the Canal Board as an advisory
body the reduction Of the tolls, and even the
total abolition OF tolls if necessary, to secure
the trade OF the West. From the applause
with which the ex-Governor's views were re-
ceived they doubtless were the programme OF
the Convention. We apprehend, too, as the
Western States are beginning to run their grain
down the Mississippi, and are looking with a
wistful eye upon the st. Lawrence, that our
Erie Canal tolls will have soon to be reduced
to avery low figure. or that this Western trade
will be lost to us. We fear, again, that our
scheming and plundering politicians will only,
as usual, make party job Of it.
