The new postal bill, which became a
closed, makes some changes in the ex-
isting postal regulations, which are Of
general interest. The most important is
the authorization Of one cent. postal
cards for correspondence, or for printed
circulars, similar to those which were
introduced in Great Britain nearly two
years ago, and are now.in use in nearly
all European countries. The House
provided in the bill for cards with paper
haps, to cover and conceal the writing.
The Senate changed this to an open
card. In the conference committee the
style OF card was left to the Postmaster
General, who prefers the open card and
will order that kind only to be manufae-
tured. The face of the card will bear a
one cent. stamp, and will be provided
with lines for the address, and the back
will be ruled for the letter. The price of
the card and stamp will be only one
cent. 1t will probably be three or four
weeks before they will be ready for sale.
as the plates for printing have vet to be
prepared. The postage on circulars.
newspapers and other transient printed
matter, which under the old law was
two cents for every four ounces or less,
Is now one cent. for two ounces or less |;
small circulars which formerly cost two
cents to mail, can now be semi for one
cent-an important reduction to business
men who use the mail largely to adver-
tise their business. The change is now
in force, the law being immediate in its
effect.

One of the great evils Of our country
and one that should be put down, is the
publishing and sale of obscene litera-
ture. A great deal has been said about
this question by the different neWspa-
pers Of the country, nevertheless we at
this time can not distinguish the least
abatement, either in the sale or publica-
ton Of this dangerous literature. The
news agents of Cleveland, realizing the
harm done, by agreement among them
selves, ceased the sale ofthis trash. This
is certainly q good example to follow,
and we think the most effectual way to
kill the trade. But there is a class of
people who will have these publications
at all hazards. A case came up in the
Court Of General Sessions, New York
city, inwhich a news-dealer was brought
up for the sale of obscene literature.
The District Attorney, in his opening
remarks, made the startling statement
that the young ladies' seminaries in the
city and vicinity were flooded with
books aud pictures of the most indecent
kind, introduced by such men as the
prisoner, in boQuets, packages Of candy,
nuts, &c. Surely when matters arrive
at this stage something ought to be
done, and that o

Whenever one is puzzled respecting
the whereabouts of any one OF the prin-
cipal military leaders of the Lost Cause,
search for him in the Liberal" move
ment and he will generally come to
light. Here are q few examples in re-
constructed States: In Louisiana, Beau
regard and Hays; in Texas, John B.
Hood in.Mississippi, Featherston, Wal.
thall and Humphreys; in Alabama, Pet
tus, Morgan and Raphael Semmes in
Georgia, Gordon, Benning, Wotford and
Wright; in South Carolina, Hamton
and Kershaw ; in North Carolina, Hill
and Ramsey; in Virginia, Imroden and
Pickett; in Tennessee, Forest, Bates,
Cheatham and Brown. What Is the rea'
son that these leaders ofthe rebel armies,
most of whom are to-day as unrepent-
ant as they eYer were, are rallying un-
der the Greeley banner-fOr that there
is a reason none can doubt? Let US see.
The journals of the Southern States are
reproducing his editorials in favor Of Sc
ctssion and letting the South go in peace.
Thus the New Orleans PicdyuRe says it
does net believe he would ''refuse to
sanction the appeal of those States. as a
last resort, TO the remedy of peGcedbLe
UithdrdiCdI from the jurisdiction Of the
Federal a~utkoTity.' To the plain and
unsophisticated mind this looks marvel
ously like speculation concerning the
chances of another attempt at secession,
in case of his election to the Presidency.
Do the people propose to give him and
his Southern followers another oppor-
tunity of accomplishing that which they
failed in ten years sgoG-Pitts6Urgh Com

Mr.. Greeley is assailed on all sides,
but the latest bit of gossip is furnished
by q dispatch published in the Boston
Traveller to the effect that "ons Of the
reasons for which Carl Schurz IS Silent
on the Greeley question is supposed 70
be the belief on his psrtthst the Axeman
Of Chappaqna Is ineligible to Office, be-
cause IN all the amnesty bills passed by
Congress for the removal of political
disabilities, the name of Horace Greeley
does not appear. His voluntary advice
and encouragement which he gave to
the seeding States. now counts against
him, for rs matters stand no person can
hold any office whatsoever, who can not
make oath that he has never given any
aid or countenance, counsel OF eneour-
agement 10 parties engaged in Rvowed
hostilities against the government of the
United States. and that he has never yet
aided or voluntarily supported any pre-
tended government, authority, power or
constitution within the United States
hostile or inimieal thereto. 1t is well
known that Horace Greeley a not,
without perjury, subscribe TO such an
oath, and his ineiigibility to the presi-
dental Office is therefore an established
fact

The Congressional Convention for the
18th District Of Ohio, and composed of
the counties of Mahoning, Stark, Column
bisna and Carol, was held at Alliance,
on Tuesday of last week. On the 4Ist
ballot Hon. L. D. Woodwork, ofMaho-
ming, was nominated. The other csndi-
dates were Wales, Underhin and Hun.
ter, of Stark county. or MI. Wood
worth,s election there is no room for
reasonable doubt: He is popular with
the people, and will command the united
vote of the miners and working men
generally in the district fact that would
probably not have been so reliable had
one of the other aspirsnts for the nomi-
nation been successful. The Democrats
of the 18th District will no doubt nomi-
nate Richard Brown, Of Youngstown,
who. has already received the nomintion
Of the Prohibition party Of that district
for Congress. Surely the disruption of
the late deceased Democratic party is pro-
ducing anomalous associations. The
Sudden conversion or the Democrats of
Mahoning to Greeley and Prohibition is
OF course most sincere.

The Democratic papers should repro
duce at an early day their old wood-cuts
representing Greeley as fondly embra-
cling, or as they at other times had It,
vigorously striving to swallow, a colored
individual. It would illustrate to their
fellow Democrats the modlls oDerdndi of
the trick which they are expected to
perform this fall. OdeIl, of the Mahon-
ing NadiedtoT, who has been delivering
himself Of sundry incoherent utterances
lately Conserving one Groesbeck, had all
of the Groes. knocked out of him at
Cleveland, and has since then been per-
sistently ~lpbricating his throat with
some kind of oil said to be "good for
man and beast" so hat he can take
down II. G. at Baltimore as easily and
as serenely as if he were a tumbler full
of anything to beat Grant, There is
nothing like getting a good ready.

According to a st. Johns letter there
is an iceburg two thousand miles long
and from fifty to two hundred miles
broad on its way down to US from Baf.
fms Bay. The writer states that since
the early part Of last January enormous
fields of ice have been passing the
shores of Newfoundland in almost con-
tinuous stream. The thickness Of this
field of ice is from twenty to thirty feet.
The distance between Bafin's Bay,
where the ice fields are formed, and the
waters Of the Gulf Stream, where the
masses are dissolved, is from fifteen
hundred to two thousand miles. Some
old navigators are Of the opinion that
the route to Europe will be unusually
dangerous this summer on account OF
the southwark movement of these inn
mense fields.
