THE FRAMING PRIVILEGE.

We beg leave to remind the Senate that the
House bill to abolish the Franking Privilege
sleeps on its table. 1t has lain there so long
that the dust probably hides it; but, if forgot
ten by the Senate, it is not by the People.
They want it taken up and passed-not be-
wtched nor transformed so that its own father
would nit know it-but simply passed. That
is a short job, which might be dispatched in
an hour; while to dismember, and transpOse,
and upset, and bedevil it, will probably waste
week and then it must go back to the
House. where it will probably be turned end
for end again. The straight way, the short
way, and the right way, are not three ways
but one.
An ounce of principle is worth a pound of
dexterous manipulation. The principles which
should control this whole matter are these:
l. Those who use the Mails should pay for
such use;
@ They should pay enough to cover the
entire expense of the Postal Service, and not
impose any part of it upon the Treasury.
We want Cheap Postage, but not Postage
cheapened by making those pay for carrying
letters who neither send nor receive any. 1t
is not right to tax them in order that others
may have their letters carried for half the real
cost And we do not believe that the time has
yet arrived for carrying letters all distances
and delivering them at one cent each.
"Let every tub stand on its own bottom"
The rule is ancient, but very sound. Let us
economic in every way; but, whatever the
Postal Service costs, that the transmitters of
Mail matter should pay. And it is unjust to
impose on part of them the cost of carrying
letters for the residue. Let each pay for what
ever he has.
Make everything pay, and we shall soon de-
termine the average cost of receiving, carrying
and delivering letter If it shall be proved
that three cents is too much, let us reduce to
two, and then, if the receipts still too large
to one. But the essential base of our reform
is, Make everything pay!

DIR ELECTION At HAND.

A Republican County Convention will assem-
bic tomorrow evening to take steps with ref
erence to our approaching Judicial and Charter
Election. We beg its members to ponder well
before acting decsivcly.
That majority of the legal voters of our
City are opposed to the Tweed-Sweeny rule
under which we now suffer, is scarcely doubted.
That dynasty has power over the bread and
butter of at least Twenty Thousand of our
City's voters. It's enormous and profiigately
welded patronage controls at least that num-
Der. Blind, thick -and-thin partisanship may at
tach to it an equal number. Beyond those
Forty thousand the great body of our citi-
zens detest the Tweed dynasty and would re-
joice at its overthrow.
And now is their time! The elements of Op-
position to the 1ammany magnates were never
before so formidable. TO conquer, they need
but cohesion and direction. We shall triumph
overwhelmingly if all who would gladly coop
crate can be brought into line. And there is
no good reason why they should not be.
We trust, therefore, that the Republican
Nominating Convention that meets tomorrow
evening will halt and reconnoiter-wlll throw
ont skirmishers and feel of the enemy's
position. If q ticket that embodies all
the elements of opposition to such rule as
il now vOuchsafcd us from Tammany
Hall shall be made, that ticket can be elected.
Much will depend on the character of the
men put in nomination-hardly less on the au-
| spices under which they are presented. We
know no one who wants to be candidate. IF
such there be, the prmo tdcie evidence of his
unfitness for it is strong. Let personal aspira-
tons be ignored or overruled, and let us have a
ticket which represents and satisfies all who
desire the overthrow of the corrupt despotism
of Tammany, and we shall certainly elect it.
To the framing of such a ticket let all per-
sOnal ends be held subordinate.

The French people are urged by Partisan
electioncering committee in the interest OF the
Government to ego to the polls on SUNDAY
"next and vote, as in 1s4s, with banners flying
"and shouting Viuc Napoleon" They VIII
doubtless obey the suggestions, and display as
mucb enthusiasm in voting for personal gov
ernment as they did when voting for the En-
pire; for are they not to have the same mcen-
tives to unanimity now IA in 1882 The argu-
ments then employed arc now literally adj
vanced. There have been, for instance, two
thousand arrests since four days ago. Ma
poleon has in the strong Republican districts OF
Lyons and Marscilles commander as faithful
as Castellane was of yore, and under various
pretexts the workingmen there are being de-
tered from voting at the approachngp teb'S-
citum. Military precautions are being taken
elsewhere, we are told. In other words, France
will be as enthusiastic and unanimous in favor
continuing as it was in granting NapoleOn's
power, but it will be only under greater intim-
idation and more violent coercion.

Before the Government officials who have
been moving in the matter of establishing a
Postal Telegraph take positive steps toward
that end, we beg them TO study the latest
financial report of the Anglo American Telc-
graph Company. The efforts of that line to
make more general the use of its cables by
lowering the tariff of charges for transmitting
messages, were only partially successful. To
be sure, their receipts at the CD tariff were
about as large (G499 daily as when at
eco, and the number Of messages sent at the
low rates (226 daily were seven or eight times
greater than at the higher charges. Bnt it was
found that the business could not be increased
by still further lowering the rate beyond this
point, and the receipts naturally fell o. while
the expenses increased. Since there limit
TO the use of the Atlantic Cable. Shy may
there not also be point beyond which the
employment of the land lines will not got We
do not doubt that the Use of the lines by the
Government at low rates would soon show
this surmse to be fact. There will come some
day, and it need be no very distant one, "a
cheapening of Geographic tolls, but not through
Government management. 1t will be the nat
ural result of improvement in telegraphic ma
chimes and material, and the consequent lessen
ing of the cost of transmitting dispatches. 1t
is not SAFE either in individuals or govern
mcnts, to attempt to build up great traifcs on
any other than solid business grounds. Inc
Government would be apt to find, if it took to
telegraphing, that the trade laws of supply and
demand affect Geographic messages as well as
beef

MIR. AYERY'S COLLECTION.

Mr.. s. Il. Avery proposes to sell Dy auction,
this evening, his entire collection or OIL paintings

hibition at the Somervile Art Gallery, on the cor.
ner OF Ffthave and Fourteenthst. The pictures arc
almost equally divided between the native and foreign
schools They are all MODERN and with or two
ceptons, all have the general characteristics.
though the subjects various, and varousy handled.
This characteristic is decacy OF sentiment and nicely
treatment They are in the main. such pictures as artists
paint in their hours of leisure AT the instance OF
personal friends, whose tastes understood TO be

Avery; others were selected by him, expressly for
him, with view, it may be cOnectured, to his own pr
vate taste, as much their immediate market value
