The shrewdness OF the present management

Illustrated by little trick which was perpetrated
at the Post Office Of this city yesterday. From
and after to-day, the rate of postage between this
country and Great Britain and Ireland has been
reduced to ia Csa;s p. '-' .. YET, for
letters to 60 by the steamer Rhoin, which sails
to-day, the Department has exacted the old rate
twelve cents per half ounce-in full because for
sooth, these letters had 10 be mailed before the
lst Of January. At the same time, in order 10
prevent, as far as possible, the mailing of any
letters to-day, the mail was closed at o'clock in
the morning Ths petty swindlc is on par
with that which requires letter postage to be paid
on newspapers wrapped up with posters and cir
culars, which, sent separately, are liable only TO
newspaper rates.

A lively opposition is expected in the
French Legislative Body on the vote of the ap-
preparation needed to delray the cost Of the
Cleopatra trip Of the Empress EuGESw
A similar task deyolyes upon the partisans Of
retrenchment in the American Congress, far as
the Tallapoosa spree of our Jersey Cleopatra is
concerned.
The admirers Of the French Cleopatra may
possibly plead the graces and beauty of ErGfNIE
aud the opening Of the Suoz Canal as extenuating
circumstances but though Mr.. RoBEsoS NAV have
hidden charms unknown TO his countrymen, il is
not likely that an appropriation will be granted
for his little bill ON the score of personal grace
OF beauty. Nor can he plead that he has been
concerned in any particular opening, except that
of his own official career by taking unwarrantcd
= liberties with the Navy Of the Republic, and with
the public purse, which has had 10 bleed for his

That able Jewish journal. the Eadclite,
defends President GRAM against the imputaton
of being too much under the influence of his

OF the United states because his aged father exer-
cises some influence over him. ~ that IL Gen.

The krdeikt fails, we think, to do Justice to
those whose sentiments II so earnestly condemns.
No one that are aware Of has found any fault
with Gen. GRASr for honorug and loving his
father. The point Of difficulty is not that the
fathers advice has been listened TO by the son,
but that he has led him into making wrong and
injurious appointments, for reasons Of family rela-
ionship, without due regard to the welfare OF tne
public service and the prosperity of the party to
which Gen. GRANT owes his election. II is all
right to respect ones father but it is all wrong
for the President Of the United States to allow
his hal reverence TO become the cause Of injury
to his country and his party. Does not the hraek

Louis NapOleon's Last ContrIyaucc.

NAPOLEON III is far from being rs esti-
mable man as Lo1s XVI, but he resem-
blcs the French BOURBON in his desperate
efforts to save his waning power by making
one concession after another to the disatlocted
people.

that from the moment ruler begins TO

total surrender cannot be STAYED off for u
