POSTAL MATTERS.

Two bills have beeu introduced in the House
of Repre- entatives in relation to postal affairs.
One of these provides for the abolition Of the
present regulation that where one full rate Of
postage has been prepaid on letter 1t shall
be forwarded to its destination, and on deliv.
cry double rate of postage shall be collect
ed. For example: If A in New York mails a
letter to b in Philadelphia, the postage on
which amounts to six cents, but on which A
pays only three cents, the present rule is to
collect six cents, or double the amount left
Unpaid, from Is on the delivery OF the letter.
The new bill provides that in such case only
three cents shall be collected. The other bill
provides for the reduction of the postage rate
on all domestic mail matter of the first class,
including all correspondence except book
manuscripts and corrected proof sheets, from
the uniform rate of three cents to two cents
for each half ounce or fraction thereof. The
first bill is to take effect on its passage, the
other on and after the first day of July.

The fact that the Electoral College of Lou

as an additional reason for the abolition Of the
Electoral College system. One State is thus
left practically without voice in the Presi-
dental election, as the vote of the Electoral
College would be nullity, if cast on any
other day. The consequences would have
been of the most serious character if the re-
suit Of the election had depended upon the
vote of that particular State.

HORACE GREELEYS WILL con-
TESTED.

The daughters of Mr.. Greeley, accompanied
by few friends, appeared at White Plains,
before the Surrogate, on the 9th, to offer for
probate the will of their father. This will
was executed on Nov. 90, 1872. 1t had been
written by Mr.. Greeley some time ago, but
was given him for execution a few hours be-
fore his death. 1t gave all his property
equally to his two daughters. This instru-
ment had been placed among his private pa
pcrs by Mr.. Greeley and was only taken from
| among them at the time of his last attack, and
at the irst lucid interval offered to him for
| acknowledge ment.
At the same time counsel appeared befor'
the Surrogate to contest this will, and offer
ing in its stead one dated January, 1871. The
contestants are Samuel Sinclair, Richard Ii.
Manning and Charles S.oris, the latter being
named as executors. The counsel for the
contestants then said that he hoped the pro-
ponents of the will would acquiesee in the
will of 1871: He thought that the will exec
uted by Mr.. Greeley before his death did
great injustice, inasmuch as it gave all the
property to Miss Ida, with the qualification
that On9-nAit OF II was 10 De uSeu Dy Hef az
her own discretion in the support and educa-
ton of her sister Gabrielle, and that some re-
lations would be deprived Of property intepd-
ed for them.
The counsel for the daughters thought that
the remarks were uncalled for, and announced
that Miss Ida had offered to assign to her sis
ter one-half OF the property, also to grant
suitable annuities to relatives. The Misses
Greeley then declined to consider any pro-
posals for compromise. Regular proceed
ings for contest will enure on the ground Of
the incapacity Of the testator to execute the
will of 1872.
The first witness was Miss Lamson, who
testified. She became witness to the will
on the day Mr.. Greeley died. Mr.. Greeley
was then, a few hours before his death, con-
scious and rational. After some further ex-
animation of this witness adjournment fol-
lowed.
The will of 1871 gives the property to his
daughters, but in addition gives requests to
his relatives and legacy equal to the value
of share of the Tribune to the Children's
Aid Society in New York.
The Herald says good deal Of indignation
is felt at what is regarded as a heartless at
tempt to deprive the Greeley orphans of
their inheritance.

VERNuENT BONDS.

Representative IIoar's bill for the safety Of
government bonds is designed to insure per-
feet security, and at the same time conven-
fence, in possession to the holders of govern
ment securities. 1t authorizes national banks
to hold as trustees registered government
bonds, issuing to owners certificates of de-
post of equal value; the latter to be current
and exchangeable as are coupon bonds at
present. Sales and transfers of the certifi-
Gates might be made with perfect facility
while the registering insures perfect safety.
The bill is approved by the Treasury Depart
ment and the chairman of the House Banking
Committee.

TIE SOUTHERN CLAIMS CONNLS
SION

The second yearly report of the Southern
Claims Commission states that between March
1871, and the end of November, 1872, 1900
claims were filed, demanding an aggregate of
more than Gas 0OO, 900. OF these, 2,7ss cases
representing claims TO the amount of 5,424,
3l4, have been disposed of by awards amount
ing altogether to about 81 1888 900. There
are now nearly $4,000 untouched cases, which
can scarcely be taken up before the Commits
sion expires by law in March next. The
Commissioners say that it will require about
four years diligent work to dispose of all the
cases now before them. They state at length
the grounds on which claims have been or
should be rejected for disloyalty, and cite, as
an instance Of the grasping disposition of the
claimants, that horses are valued by them at
all figures between $50, 600 and 5000. The
question Of allowing for tobacco taken and
issued to the soldiers is still undecided

Crime Abroad and at Home.

The Secretary of the Treasury hay
ing declared within three months that
"there is no U. S. statute interdicting
the landing in this country of paupers,
felons, or convicts as emigrants OF
otherwise, and that some Of the treaties
between the Z. S. and foreign nations
contain stlpulations for the return in
cases of fugitives from justice" it be
comes Congress to act upon this sub
ject at once, or for the States to take
it in hand This city is just now full
Of foreign paupers, drawn here as in
the case Of several hundred Italians,
by as base fraud as was ever commit
ted upon poor and deluded people.
Men who bought their tickets at Ma.
pless or Genoa for Buenos Ayres, where
there is prosperous Italian colony,
were put on board of a steamship for
New York, and some few, who knew
that New York was not Buenos Ayres,
were made to believe that it was in
close proximity to the city to which
they desired to emigrate. AT Castle
Garden, Wards Island, and even in
the city streets, are seen crowds Of
these wretched people, who are now to
be tax upon public or private chari-
ty, but very largely upon both. In the
face of this constant influx of the bad
with the good-tor the industrious aud
honest are always welcome-we are
coolly told there is more capital and
other crime in New York with one mil
lion than in London with three mil
lions Of population. If the statement
be atrue one, the cause is only too
plain. New York is made at times the
Botany Bay of the world, and especi-
ally for Great Britain. AT other times
the British Eastern Colonies are made
the receptacle for this class of crimin-
ais. For example: From 1927 to 1916
64,376 convicts were transported from
Great Britain, but in 1853 there was
only Western Australia left among
British penal settlements, and in 1859,
or thereabouts, deportation altogether
ceased, and since then very many of
this class make the New World their
homes. 1t is time, we repeat, that
Congress, or, if not Congress, the
States, but better together, put stop
to the introduction of paupers and
criminals among us, ~ Y Express,
