A Distinction UithOut Difference

We were not aware until we saw 1t III
the Boston Journal, (see article in anoth-
er column) that if Congress succeeds IN
ab,lshns the franking privilege, sit l.
perfectly well understood that postage
stamps are to be issued TO members of
Congress aud other Government officials
sutiirien' for al their uses, free 10 them,
tut pa d Jor by the people," OF what Use
is it TO abolish Tie tramking privilege, if
the privilege to plumber the treasury
remains unchecked?
The JoWHdEs argument against the bill,
as passed 10y the House, (by which news
papers are denied free circulation to bona
.fde subscribers III the county where pub
li-hed, and free exchanges,) is one that
C.ngrcss cannot get round. By passing
it, the S nate will not punish the large
d,iles Of the cities, which have SO freely
commented on the abuse of the trankine
privilege, as those papers are nearly all
sold by new smen who get them by ex-
pres, -but the weak country papers are
the ones that will sutf r. 1t would hard
ly seem as though The Senate would pass
tie House bill unch tnged, although
Washington dispatches Indicate it.
