SENATOR RAMSEY yesterday introduced in
the National Senate q bill to amend the pos
tai laws, whish provide, that letters on which
amy portion of tho postage has been paid by
a postage stamp, whether equal to the full
rate or not, shall be forwarded to their desti-
nation and the unpaid amount collected on
delivery. Such a provision as this will be
appreciated by all classes, as very great deal
Of inconvenience is now caused by the regu-
lation which prohibits letters from being sent
unless the full postage is prepaid. A vast
majority of the letter-writers of the country
are without the means of finding out the
exact weight Of their mail matter, and the
annoyance that is caused by the detention OF
letters Is far greater than there is any reason
or necessity for. Whether the obligation to
prepay m full should be done away with or not
is an open question, but we think that the
proposition Of Senator Ramsey is a just one,
and that it ought to receive the favorable
consideration Of Congress.

seats, then the whole house, and keep the
visit of the Emperor secret as long as possi-
BILE. The boxes next TO that of the Emperor
are pre-engaged and occupied by persons Of
the court and guards; the front rows of or

the conversations and must watch the public.
Habitual visitors of the theatres know this

THE GovERNOR'S INAUGURAL.

Tur most striking feature of Governor
Geary's inaugural is the intense satisfaction
with which he regards his former messages
Other men may be mistaken or be guilty of
shortcomings, but he is gifted with such
wondrous correctness of Judgment that he
now endorses and reiterstes all the recon-
mendations he has hitherto made as fully as
if he "again promulgated them word for
word" We would be at q loss to understand
how the State happened to be blessed with
suoh O marvellously correct and consistent
Governor if he did not kindly enlighten us
in regard to his method of solving the diff
culties by which he is surrounded. He tells
MS that ''his only safeguard is to adopt and
act in accordance with those sterling and
beneicent maxims to which the early fathers
gave utterance. The mystery of his extra
ordinary popularity, of the respect he in
spires among all with whom he is brought
into contact, of the confidence felt in the
inviolsbility Of his promises, and Of the
general admiration for the wisdom
and eloquence of his speeches,
is now, at last, fully explained. In all cases
of doubt he falls back upon the maxims of
the early fathers, and whether the matter in
issue is the disposal of one Office among a
hundred hungry applicants, or the approval
of bssket-full of Legislative bills, he always
acts according to the loftiest notions of pro-
priety, and does things up in the ''high old
Roman fashion If, by the strangest acci-
dent in the world, his administration ever
should happen to commit an error, it will
clearly be on account of the selection of a
maxim not exactly applicable to the case in
hand; but this danger is SO remote that, Sc
cure in the impeccability of the Governor,
the whole Commonwealth should unite in the
petition that the Legislature may also be in
= duced to adopt the rule which in his case,
according to his Judgment, has worked 50
satisfactorily. lf

IN the National Senate yesterday numerous Pc
titions Cor che abolit Of the frsnking priyi-
lege were presented. Senator sherman stated
that these petitions were almost al ways headed
whit names Of postmasters, aud appeared to
beprinted at the public cerpense, and hethought
that the mails should not be loaded down
with these papers, though earnestly desirous
for tho success of the proposed reform. 1t is
very true that the petitions for the abolition
Of the franl<ing privilege do not appear TO
accomplish much, but they at least serve to
keep the matter in the minds OF th6 members
of Congress, and to remind them Of the
wishes Of the nation There is o certain cool
ness, that in any other than an
honorable Senator would asllook like
impudence, in Senator Sherman objecting
to the mails being loaded down with these
petitions, in view Of the well-known fact that
tons of documents are sent away from Wash
ington every session under the franks Of
members of Congress, not to speak of such
small matters as wash clothes, dry goods, and
everything, in fact, that is capable of trans
portation. Senator Summer, too, with an
airy grace that did him credit, said that the
franking privilege appeared TO him to be q
personal burden rather than o privilege;
nevertheless, he believed the opposition to its
continuance was liable to run into extrave-
gance Mr.. Summer dses not take into &C
count that the franking privilege itself has
run into such extravaganza that it is scandal
and disgrace to every member of Congress.
IT he feels it to be a personal burden,
and if Senator Sherman earnestly de-
sires the reform of the existing abuses,
why do they not 60 earnestly to work to do
away with the present outrageous practices by
abolishing the franking privilege So long
as Senators merely stand up in their seats
! and express themselves in favor of reforms,
coupling their protestations with sneers al
those of their constituents who are urging
them to do their plain duty, nobody will be
lieve that they have any desire whatever tc
abandon the scsndalous abuses that the
whole country has been crying out against fol
years, and which each succeeding report OF
the Postmaster-G General represents as an in
creasing burden and expense to the tax
payers of the country.

AocoHDMa to the Shanghae News Letter,
Prince Kung, in bidding farewell to Sir
Rutherford Mcock, the late British represen-
tative TO the Court Of Pekin, said to him,
Snow you are going home, wish you would
take away with you your opium and mis-
sionaries." II in evident that Prince Kung
has low idea of the value of missionaries as
products of Western civilization, and that the
English policy towards China should cause
their introduction into the Flowery Empire
along with opium is, in his mind, an aggra-
vation of the original injury. 1t is certainly
to be feared that the missionaries have not
always tempered their zeal with such discre-
tion as would be calculated to impress the
Chinese in the highest manner with the graees
of their religion, and there is too much disposi-
sion to deal with the people as mere ignorant
savages, who must be kicked into Christianity
when they cannot be persuaded. The mis-
sionsries have been among the last TO recog-
nize the true element of greatness in the
civilization of China, or to understand that
their religion is something more than an un-
meaning idolatry, and with all due respect
for the earnest men who have been laboring
TO Christianize China. Prince Kung's eou-
pling of missionaries with opium, as evils of
the first magnitude for which China is in
debted 10 England, viii raise q smile of sym
patby for tho Prince on the face of many who
cordially appreciate the motives of those whom
he contemns. 49,,

ARRAIGNMENT or ROCHEFORT

ARRAIGNMENT OF ROCHEFORT.
RooHEFoRr has once more become proni-
nent, if not powerful, figure in the tragic
arena of Partisan politics. The Corps Legis-
latif yesterday, by vote of 226 to 81, con-
sented to his arraignment on a charge of
committing outrages against the Emperor
and exciting disorder and violence. The fact
that he is thus singled out as an object of
persecution has endeared him more than ever
to the Red Republicans. For short time it
seemed that liberation was about to prove
fatal to his notoriety. While he was printing
with safety all the attacks he chose to make
upon the Government, and simultaneously
denouncing the Empire in the Legislative
Chamber, he was losing influence so
rapidly that he was in a fair way
to be despised as demagogue
even by those who now worship him as
hero. But toleration seems impossible to the
imperious Bonapartes even where it is their
true policy, and hot-blooded prince of the
blood gave renewed ascendancy to Rochefort
by killing one of his warmest personal
friends. This has been followed by such em-
bittered assaults on the Emperor that Napo-
leon has fallen back upon his original policy
of repression, and, with the consent of the
Chambers, he proposes to instigste legal pro-
ceedings against his relentless enemy. This
resort is, under the circumstances, humili-
ating confession of defeat. It proves that
Rochefort is deemed dangerous even by those
who are entrenched in power, and that the
possibilities of new Reign Of Terror still
loom t1p before the present rulers of France

DEATH OF MAJOR WHIsTLER.-Maior
George W. Whistler, the well known Amer
lean rail way engineer, died at Brighton,
England. short time ago. He was the
son of George w. Whistler, once Chief
Engineer in the construction of the West
ern Railroad, and was born at New Lon
don, Ct. He was bred to the profession
which he followed in after life, studyin-
the practical construction of cars and loco
motives in the shops of Winans, at Ba'tl-
more. Marrying daughter Of Ross Win
ans at Baltimore, he followed his father
and his lather-in-law TO Russia, where the
one superintended the construction Of the
great Moscow and st. Petersburg railway,
and the other became IA contractor for IL
equipment and management lie lived al
ST. Petersburg for many years with the
care thus devolved upon him, rearing and
educating his family and amassins large
fortune. Alterward he removed To Franh-
fort in Germany where he has lived veiN
much of the time for the last ten year.
During the war his faith in America, and
advocacy of her cause were conspicuous
and he and his family became known a.
the largest holders of United States bonds
of any private parties ON either continent,
Besides this, he sent and paid for seven
substitutes to serve in the Union army.

BEC.IISE.

Persons unapt in speech, or with limited
power of expression, whose reasons for or
against things are summed up in the word
"cause," can at least flatter themselves that
there are worse reasoners than they.
correspondent of the Rochester Democrat,
writing of Kate Field, says: "You are very
charming, madam, you dazzle us with your
diamonds, but there is not n man in the
world who would not hang his head little
if his wife stood in your place" This may
be. and we would add the further remark,
that a good many men would hang their
heads good deal if their own wives went
out washing or house-cleaning, but have
no scruples as to employing other mems
wives in such offices. There is great
amount and variety of work to be done in
this weary world, and women have to do
their share of it, and it will hardly answer
TO make any mans idea Of what he would
like 10 see his own wife doing standard OF
propriety, or to infer that woman sis
drifting from her true mission" when she
departs from such standard. Better say
the reason l don't like to see woman on
the lecture stand is-is--"'cause.'

WHAT BREAKS DowN NoUNo MEN.-lt
is commonly received notion that hard
study is the unhealthy element OF college
life. But from tables of the mortality OF
Harvard University collected by Professor
Pierce, from the last trienuial catalogue, IL
Is clearly demonstrated that the excess OF
death for the first ten years amer gradua
ton is found in that portion of each class
of inferior scholarship. Every one who
has seen the curriculum knows that where
Alschylus and political economy injure
one, late hours and rum punches use up
dozen; and that the two little fingers are
heavier than the lons of Euclid. Dissipa-
ton is a sure destroyer, and every young
man who follows it is, as the early flower,
exposed to untimely frost. Those who
have been invelghed in the path of vice
are named Legion. 4 few hours sleep
each night, high living and plenty of
"smashes," make war upon every function
Of the body. The brains, the heart, the
lungs, the liver, the spine, the limbs, the
bones, the flesh, every part and faculty are
overtasked, and weakened, by the terrific
energy of passion loosened from restraint,
untllikea dilapidated mansion, tho "earth-
ly house Of this tabernacle" falls into ruin
GUS decay. Fast young men, right about

together that IL was like rending life from
me to part with her, and with a cry | fell
back fainting. Dying as she was, she heard
the fall, and turned her head to look, and

it may do good and perhaps be a light and
