The Washington correspond
ent of the New York Herald says
that Mr.. j. L. Getz, Of Penney.
vania, has introduced a bill in the
House which provides that from

Postmaster General. That off.
cial asserts that il the rranking
privilege we're abolished the Post
Office Department could afford 10
transmit all the newspapers free

that the revenue from newspaper

eral says it cost $1,000, 900 to

ury. The newspaper is held to be
the best medium of communica-
ton between Congressman and
their constituents, aud as the only
argument in favor of the frdnking
privilege is that it enables mem.
bers and Senators to communicate
freely with their constituents, the
passage of Mr.. Getz's bill will do
oil that and more; it will at the
