POSTAGE ON NE WSPAPER En-
CHANG En-

The bill passed by the House, last week.
not only repeats the franking privilege, but
sweeps away with it, two concessions to
local newspapers. These are the provision
that newspaper may be distributed free of
postage to subscribers within the county
where it is published and the free carriage
of newspaper exchanges. The act reads as
follows
Be ii enacted, DC, That all laws and
parts of laws giving the right To any officer
or department of the Government, or other
person, to either send or receive through the
United States mails, free of charge, any let
Ter, document, or other mailablc matter, are
hereby repealed
SEc .. And be II .iarfher tnacted
That the act shall take effect IN and aftc,
the LIST day of July, 1870,
The resembling OF the concessions ,ia.ue,l
will bear heavily on the class Of local, coun
try, newspapers, whose receipts, being small,
leave slight margin for the payment of
postage on exchanges. The establishments
III the cities, although put 10 much greater
expense for their large exchange lists, will
be far more able to pay the postage on them.
The effect therefore, is to aid the already
prosperous and wealthy city papers, in their
oyergrowth, at the expense of the poor and
Unsupported local presses This will be the
result, in greater degree, in regard to the
concession first stated. Ii is some induce
ment to farmer, TO take his county paper
instead Of one from Wilmington, or phila-
delphia, or New York, that hr can yet il
without paying any postage. In that degree,
the present postal law, has aided 10 largely

gence, all over the country, rather than cnp

The =" METROPOLITAN Police BILL" by
which the appointment of the police force in
Philadelphia, will be vested in a Board of
Commissioners, elected by the State Lesis-
lature, bids fair TO become law. The Re-
publican majority in the Senate is small, and
is reduced by the detection of Mr. Lowry, Of
Erie, who upon this question, If not upon
all, takes position with the Democrats. The
bill, however, was passed by the Senate,
yesterday, the yeas beirg l6. and the nays
10, two Democratic Senators having appar-
emily lodged the vote. In the House, the
majority in favor of the measure is thought
ODE large enough to allow for all probable
contingencies, and Mayor Fox and his lneili-
cient and incapable policemen contemplate
the prospect with decided apprehension.

SENA 1.E ACTION ON 7HE FOS-
Tall TELEGHApN


The Senate Postal Committee on Monday
reported the Postal Telegraph Bill, favora-
bly,. They express the belief that the time
has come for connecting the telegraph with
the postal service. America is the only
country in which correspondence by tele-
graph is intrusted solely 10 private corpora
tions. The investment in proportion TO the
length OF the line is large, the rates are
higher, and the telegraph is less used than
in most Europeon countries, though there
is no nation where il could he used to so
great an advantage. In all other counties
tie charges ore uniform for the same dis
lance. Here theyyary in different sections,
and are higher South than West, and higher
West than East, and therefore discriminate
against those sections where, from the I'M
frequency Of the mails and the means Of
communication, the telegraph is the most
needed.
The average cost OF telegraph lines in this
country, for each mile is about S470 the
average cost in five European countries is
So. 1t is not expected that lines can be
built here as cheaply as in Europe, but there
is no reason for tiis great difference. High
rates are required in this country, to yield II
fair return npon the nominal investment.
Competition has reduced the tariff between
a few competing points, but at an increase Of
capital and private expense The permanent
remedy for this evil is large reduction OF
capital, by consolidation Of the competing
companies; reduction Of Office expel SIS,
by union with the post-otfice and by PIE
payment Of kilograms by stamps.
The bill proposes 10 locate telegraph of
fees at every point where they are now
maintained for public use, and to all places
OF three thousand population. This feature,
and those indicated above, embody, we
think, a satisfactory system, and we hope to
see prompt action upon it, by Cnogiess.
