THE PRESS AND THE PEOPLE.

The bill to abolish the fra hiking privi-
lege passed the House on the 9th of
January, to take effect on the first of Ju-
ly. The bill is said to embrace more than
the repeal of the franking privilege. 1t
also repeals the provision allowing the free
circulation of newspapers in the counties
where they are published, and free ex-
change list. The Baltimore Sun starts
the pertinent inquiry
Whether the response of the House TO the
popular complaint is made in way to punish
the people for presuming to think that the frank
ing privilege could he abused lily members of
Congress, or even those in other branches of the
government, we are unable to say. 1t is possible
that the bill may not warrant the construction
which has been put upon it, The free circula-
tion of papers in the counties where published
and the freedom of the exchange list are provis.
iUns of the post Office laws, and were enacted af.
Ger careful consideration. But it is better, per.
haps that the whole should be swept away thar
present abuses continue"
les, much better. The newspapers
will be able to get along about as well al
they do now. They will, Of course, ex
change only with those papers which ar
essential to them. and will expend n
more for postage. if as much, as their cx
change lists nov cost them.
This project of depriging newspapers @
free exchange list, and Of requiring pub
fishers to prepay the postage on their owl
papers, was agitnted by our Congressiona
wlseacres, some years ago, but it was see
and understood to be blow aimed at III
proper dissemination of intelligence anon
the people, and it at once raised such a
indignant protest from the people, tina
the scheme was speedily abandoned. Th
press is SO closely allied with the interest
of the people, that blow aimed at til
one is instantly felt by the other. and

any splenetic action on the part Of on

The HAYTIEN REPRESENTATIVE
nave's sudden taking off makes difference
with Gen. Tate, who has been prominent
in Washington as the regular Haytien rep
resentative. He replies to the Presidents
invitation with, due courtesy that he is no
longer the accredited representative of Hay

been driven forth fugitive, returned q
prisoner, condemned after trial, and mer-
cilessly shot. Gen. Tate, therefore, has
no Office, because he has no principal. He
makes the best of the situation by politely

ton, and bows himself out with the grace,

A most extraordinary divorce case is
before the courts of New York. The plain
tiff is Commodore John L. Glasson, vet
Gran officer of the United States Navy,
aged GA years. The defendant, his wife,
is an old lady of So, and the mother of
two grown sons, and her compaion in the
alleged adultery is another elderly person,
John b. Howell, who is also the parent of
grown children. The alleged criminality
was committed at Providence, r. |. In
1868, Mrs. Glasson obtained limited di-
vorce from her husband for alleged cruel
treatment, and he was forced to pay her
5000 year for her support. In 1868,
Mrs. Glasson went to live with Mr.. How
ell, in Providence, as housekccper and as
instructress and companion for his daugh-
ter. Mr.. Howell was at that time mar
ried man and had daughter fifteen
years old. 1t appears that Mrs. How
ell has also commenced divorce suit
against her husband. alleging adultery on
his part with Mrs Glasson, the defendant
on the action. Mr.. Howell owned a house
in Providence, where he had resided for
several years, but for some reason which
thus far does not clearly appear, Mrs.
Howell did not live with him regularly
She travelled for her health sometimes
and occasionally took board at places fol
herself and young daughter, who was al
most her constant companion. The fathe
of the young lady, in 1868, selected Mrs
Glasson, against the wishes of the mother
as above mentioned. Mrs. Glasson denie
all the charges Of adultery, and assert
that she was living with him only in tn
capacity of companion to the daughter
The testimony thus far discloscs some rath
+, er damaging features as to the rectitude O
the parties concerned. The trial is nc
yet concluded.

A stringent bill against polygamy was
presented in the House. 1t provides upon
the conviction of parties so offending for
fine of one thousand dollars, Imprisonment
not exceeding five years, and also makes
men incompetent to act as jurors. The
bill empowers the U. S. Marshal to call
on the military to aid in enforcing the
laws. 1t forbids naturalization to aliens
guilty of polygamy, and excludes them
from the benefit of homestead or pre- emp
ton laws; and Furnishes incestuous marri-
ages by twenty years imprisonment. If
this bill becomes law, it is a declaration
of war against all the Mormon inhabitants
of Utah Territory, and must end in the
expulsion or utter annihilation of Brigham
Young and his followers. The measure is
one of very grave Importance, in view o

The New York World says, though we
do not credit the rumor of the Pope's
death, it is quite certain that he is serious
ly, if not dangerously. i'll. The imme-
diate result of his death would be the dis
solution of the Ecumenical Council, bill
decreeing its dissolution in such contin-
gency having been already prepared.
Most probably his successor would again
summon its members together; but no one
can tell how long it might be before new
Pope would be chosen. The College of
Cardinals would find it no easy task to
choose a successor to the mild Plus TX.
whose election would be satisfactory to all
parties in the church, and months might
elapse before decisive vote conld be Sc
cured. That the present Pope has long
been in precarious state of health is gen.
orally known but he possesses wonder
ul tenacity of life, and there is yet no
reason to regard his death as imminent.
1t is certainly to be hoped that he will
live to see the Council complete its work.
The assembling of this Council has been
the great event of his pontifcate, and his
death just at present would not only seen
inopportune, so far as his own ambition il
concerned, but would be serious misfor.

A New DISEASE IN New YoRK.-The
New York World, of Saturday last, has
the following regarding the "relapsing fe-
ver," new disease which has lately ap-
peared in that city. There are thirty two
cases of it which are known to exist in this
city at the present time in the hospitals.
The disease has been sent to those institu-
tions under different names--typhus, ty-
phoid, aud simple fever they have proved
to be the relapsing fever. The fever has
been prevalent in the workshops of Great
Britain for great many years. 1t is
common disease in England. Ireland, Scot
land, Russia, Poland, and the North Ger
man towns. DR.. Norton does not know
how it got here at this time. 1t appears
thus far to have made its appearance in
places which were remarkable for over
crowding and filth. There is a good deal
of pain in the head, which lasts six or sew
en- days. Then there comes sudden
sweating, under which the temperature
falls quite low-of course below the nor
NAL temperature. When the patient is in
that condition he suffers from species Of
rheumatic pains, and is in a very exhaust
cd condition for five or six days. Ther
comes on the relapse, and the same course
of the disease is gone over again. The pa
tient may become SO exhausted that deatl

TIE ELIGIBILITY OF SENATOR ELECT
REvELs.-Some of the republican journals
in the West are discussing the question
whether Hiram r. Revels, the colored
Senator elect from Mississippi, is entitled
to a seat in the Senate, in view of the dec
laration of the constitution that no person
shall be Senator who has not been nine
years citizen of the United States. 1t
should be remembered, however, that the
fourteenth amendment was proposed by the
radicals for the purpose of removing the
bar to negro citizenship. 1t declares in
its first section that call persons born or
uaturalized in the United Suites are citi-
zens of the United States" The ground
the Senate will take in the case of Revels,
if any question is raised, which is not at
all likely, will be that when the fourteenth
amendment says that "all persons born or
naturalized in the United States are citi-
zens," it means that persons naturalized
in the United States are citizens from the
date Of their naturalization, and persons
born in the United States citizens from the
date of their birth.

The scheme for joining telegraph with
postal facilities meets with the favor of
both branches of Congress, and there
seems to be probability of its becoming
law. 1t is too late, therefore, to discuss
the subject on the side of constitutional
authority and its implied restrictions. The
objection, however, in spite of expected
benefits. will stand as strong as ever a.
gainst Government stepping in to perform
the work of the people BY the new pro-
ject messages will be much more numer-
Gus than the present, because the cost will
be minimum rate. If the companies
now organized agree to sell their lines to
the Government, the latter will become
monopolist; and whether such charac-
ter is the best possible one for furnishing
tclegraphio service we are, some of us,
pretty well able to judge from experience
