Wet them of melting to riot, and total dis
regard of the peace and fair fame Of the
State. To assert that those journals are
conducted with ability, is an uncharitable
reflection upon their fOllies.
An ambitious sheet of this class, the
New Orleans Times, has made itself more
infamous than any Of its neighbors. If an
impartial mind were to inquire into the
Mechanics Institute massacre Of 1866, one
of the darkest stains that was ever fast
ened upon any State, it could easily trace a
prime cause of that transaction to the
despicable ISLANDERS which appeared in the
Times. 1t endeavored a repetition of that
CHASTITY deed when the new Legislature
came into power, and it was eminent in pro-
noting the interests of the mob in 1868.
1t is virtue of the press to expose all that
is injurious and dishonorable to society or
State, and the truth is keen weapon in
such service; but it is the custom of the
New Orleans Times to assume the garb Of a
saint, and, while essaying it's sacred duties,
to indite malicious attacks upon honorable
and just men, whom it esteems as danger
GUS political opponents. This sheet, after
exhausting truth, is accustomed - draw
upon imagination, the slang of the street,
and expressions which should only be
fathered by the prince Of darkness; and yet
is edited in New Orleans, and is chief
organ of Democracy.
With the above explanations, readers
abroad flor the Times does not deceive al
home) will understand the motives which
have prompted that journal to malign oul
excellent Superintendent. Taking short
poem, written upon the death of beloved
son, and which the afflicted father penned
with noble and generous impulse, the 1ssse'
makes it tho subject Of indecent, inhumaz
criticism, and not eonfning it, structures Il

the additional postal convention with the
United Kingdom, which went into operation
on tho first Of January, 1870, the service was
for short time interrupted but new ar.
rangements were speedily concluded on the
basis of the reduced rates of compensation
for regular semi-weekly conveyance Of the
mails to Europe, by the steamships of the
Liverpool and Great Western Company
Williams g. Guion agents, on Wednesdays
and by the steamships of the North German
Lloyd, Of Bremen, on Saturdays, which were
soon followed by an arrangement with the
Hamburg American Packet Company fol
an additional weekly service on Tuesdays
on the same terms, thus securing tri,weekly
dispatch of mails by steamers of the aver
age good speed. Formal contracts were
executed with each of these companies fol
the conveyance Of the mails during the
terms of two years, commencing January l.
1870, and ending December 81, 1871, copies
of which are annexed.
In the month of July last the steamships
of the North German Lloyd and Hamburg
lines were withdrawn from service on Their
respective routes, and q temporary arrange
ment was made with the agents of the In
man line to carry the mails from New York
ON Saturday Of each week, supplying those
omitted Of the North German Lloyd, and
after period Of some months had elapsed
with no prospect of an early resumption Of
service by the steamships Of the North Ger
man Lloyd of Bremen, was constrained to
annul the contract with that company fol
repeated failures, and to make permanent
contract with the Liverpool, New York and
Philadelphia Steamship Company, 1n1han
line, to transport the mails ON Saturdays fol
term Of two years, commencing October l.
1870, and ending September 30, 1872, copy
Of which is also annexed.
At present three weekly mails are dis
patched from Now York to Great Britain by
steamships Of the Liverpool and Greai

and vexatious delays would be avoided by
a uniform rate for all distances which would
thus be established.
But l despair OF securing any further re-
ductiOn of letter postage as long as frank
ing privilege shall be imposed upon this de
partment.
1t is not intended to intimate that there
should be an increase Of postage on news
papers. On the contrary, it is the duty Of
the government to aid in the enlightenment
and education of the people by carrying
newspapers as cheaply as possible, and
hence l am Of the opinion that the present
transportation of newspapers to regular
subscribers in counties Of their publication
as now authorized by law.
Their conveyance without charge does
not interfere with the speedy and regular
transmission of mails. There is but one
change that deem advisable in the treat
ment Of newspapers, and that applies only
to those sent to points outside Of the
county where published.
would require postage on printed matter
in all cases to be prepaid by stamps. The
law allowing postage to be paid in money by
subscribers at the Office of delivery, is de
parture from the accepted theory Of post
Office management, and only subjects the
department to heavy losses.
The Postmaster General earnestly recon-
mends the adoption, early in the session o.
Congress, of the bill introduced by Mr.
Farns<orth, to revise, consolidate and
amend the statutes relating to the postoffct
department.
The new postal regulations and the accu
mutation Of copper and nickel coins in the
postoffices receives some attention in tn,
report. y.
He respectfully recommends the estab
ishment OF the postal card system, of which
so much has been said, and advocates it BY
the usual arguments. He advises that TIN
rate be fixed at one cent, including the card
as first step toward q general reduction o
letter postage.

would.not forgive her, though she begked
so hard. I little thought when she LEFT
the room I should never see her alive
again. Minnie, dear Minnie - and again
the child's grief became uncomfortable.
Mrs Hamilton was scarcely less affected
than her boy; but in few minutes aha
said gently, Shall we pray. dear Berthe,
that God win enable you for the future
to strive to govern your temper ?"
And there, by the loved ones side, they
kneeled-the mother and her boy. Bef-
tie never forgot his eistsr, and long after
he used to look back on that hour Is the
one in which he first really prayed to
conquer his evil passions. ..-..
Minnie's prayer was answered, for Ber-
tie lived to grow up "a great and good
man." but the remembrance Of his last
words to his little sister never ceased to
bring with 1t pang of reproach. O,
that you, dear children, would strive daily
and pray more earnestly to govern your
tempers! One unkind word may be q
source of lasting grief to you; one cruel
blow the sorrow of life time. Ask God,
then, to help you by his Holy Spirit to
love one another. Then, when He shall
call you to your eternal home, Jesus shall
carry you in his bosom, and you shall
unite with the little lambs of his fold In
prsising and loving God forever. - Golden
