Post Office Returns.

E WASHINGTON, Feb. %.
The Post Master General to-day transmit
ted to the Senate returns from asa principal
Post Offices, showing the amount of free mail
matter handled during February, as follows.
The number of free letters were 666,70
the postage thereon at regular rates would be
$ll7,399.73. The weight of free printed
matter sent was 346, 1876 pounds, and the post
age thereon at the regular rates would be
$42, 1896. The total cost of free matter
from asa Post Offices would be Sl5O, 634. 90.
The Post Master General says, considering if
full returns had been received from all the
Offices for January the aggregate amount
would have exceeded $500, 900, or at a rate of
SO, 400, 900 per annum. He says it is impos-
sible to detect much of the fraud and abuse
accomplished under the franking system, as
the law will not allow the breaking of the
seals of franked matter to determine their
contents; but the small proportion returned
to the Dead Letter Office shows many cases
of abuse. Books, papers and circulars, not
printed by the order of Congress and other
matter were transmitted free in the mails.
Mr.. Cresswell says the agitation for the re-
peal of the franking privilege produced
great increase in the sale of stamps-the re-
cepts for this service for January 1870 be-
ing 1911 1929. 50-greater than for January,
1869. The Post Master General reiterates at
length his well-known views and earnest de-
sires for the immediate and total abolition of
Thanking.
