When will Postmaster General De-
lOach issue the one cent letter cards?
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, an i'm
pOrtant reduction to business men who
insert advertisements and editorial
notices In newspapers, and then send
the publications by mail over the COM
try. The newspaper is used because it
is preserved and carefully read, while a
circular or handful Is never preserved.
Moreover, the newspaper reaches = vast
number Of people unknown as CORE
spondents to the advertiser, and it Is
transferred In the country from one
to another borrower. Il is not only a
fraud upon the local press, that tolls for
and advertises a community, to resort to
these cheap agencies Of advertising, but
they avail the tradesman little. He ut
terly wastes the little money proposed to
be employed in making himself known.
1t is moreover true, that the more in
teIligent and Influential people Of every
n-eighborhoOd are subscribers and read
ers of newspapers, and thus the leading
newspaper of a city reaches every intel
Iigent farmer and merchant who trades
in that city. Dodgers" don't pay, and
they who resort to all sorts Of +" lodges"
to avoid advertising in their own news
papers oftheir w town, rob themselves
while robbing those who devote their
lives to the promotion OF the prosperity
of their city, county and State.

ROOTS, CONDURANGO EXPENsIFE
ROOTS.

The st. Louis Republican says that
down in Arkansas lives an enterprising
man named ROots-Logan H. Roots.
Roots, having a keen eye for business,
became = Radical patriot Of the fiercest
sort and found nothing in Radical poll
ties too hot or too heavy for him to ear
~. His energy and zeal were so re-
markable that the fame there cached
Washington, and Presid . Grant
smiled approvingly upon Roots and
made him United States Marshal
for Western Arkansas. This office
honestly administered would re-
turn a handsome income-dishonest-
ly administered, it could be made a
mine Of wealth. What Roots chose to
do may be inferred from the fact that
under his skillful management the
United States Courts in the district of
Western Arkansas cost the government
one veal two hundred and forty thou
sand dollars-being more than the ex-
penses Of the same courts in the entire
State Of New York for the same length
of time. The President thinking this
sum rather beyond the value of Roots,
even under the most liberal estimate,
has suspended that gentleman's official
functions. Which is all well enough so
far as it goes, but is there no chance of
regaining a portion of the two hundred
and forty thousand dollars? Must Roots
go unwhipt of justice, and with a light
heart and full pocket be allowed to trans
fer himself to another locality and play
the same game? There are countries
where such Roots as this would be
planted in q p~enitentiary, but we live in
a land of civil service reform, where
Radical REGULATORS are treated with more
tender consideration.

CAPTAIN COLvOCORE5sEs, who wa!
murdered recently 81 bridgeport, Con
necticut, has in his will made one mos
c~onsiderate bequest. He gives on,
thousand dollars to the Selectmen o
Ltchfeld, the income Of which is TO bt
expended by them in furnishing thepau-
pers at the almshouse with secular ano
religious newspapers. W. set this of
against the direction Of the fastidious
gentlemen in Philadelphia whOendowed
a library upon the condition that it
should admit no newspapers to its read
ing-room. We quite approve Of Captain
COlvocOresses's legacy, always provided
due discrimination shall be made in
selecting the newspapers purchased.
There are newspapers the perusal of
would only add to the SORROWS Of
the paupers. But when we reflect how
many newspapers are stolen everymorn-
ing from the doorways Of our subscri-
bers, it becomes 100 apparent that the
interest on one thousand dollars will
have little effect in mitigating the great
evil of newspaper borrowing and
stealing.

DELAWARE has been entirely too bis
for her breeches ever since she was rep
resented by George Alfred Townsend in
the Cincinnati Convention. The head
Of the little State was sadly turned by
her relations to the famous le~tter-writer,
and the Radical press magnifies amaz-
ingly the wretched little common
wealth that looks on the map like a
mutton-chOp. In Radical eyes Del
now completely eclipses New
York, Pennsylvania, South Caro-
lima, Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri,
Indiana, Iowa, Wisconsin, Vermont and
Texas. The action of the eleven great
all for Greeley, means nothing
to them. Delaware, with its three cleo
-oral votes, is greater than all. Happy
1t is to be hoped she will
Dear her honors bravely. Delaware
should know that George Alfred voted
or Greeley on the fifth ballot at Cincin-
lati. A knowledge Of this fact may
Delaware and sllay Delaware's
sntipathy to Greeley.

duration ensued, the government troops
at length triumphed, the Carlists being
driven frem their position. There was
considerable loss sustained on 10th sides.

MACHINE

has now been before the public for nearly two
years. Its merits have been fully tested in
Louisiana and Mississippi, and we have yet to
learn Of a single planter who has used it who
has been dissatisfied with its work. In fact
the testimonials already published in the AP-
PEAL, and the many more which nave been
shown us from planters below on the river,
satisfy us that 1t is, TO say the least, a God-send

The following Endorsements, given to

Having examined some work execute by

saying that Il is a decided success. The plOw-
ing is perfect, and the ridges formed at the
same time are much superior TO those made
In the old style. They are uniform, and IL is
hard TO distinguish one from the other. l
commend it as a labor-saving machine, and
trust it will be literally patrOnized by the

sippi as one Of our most practical planters. Of
the following, from Mr.. Ford, Of the we'll
known house OF Ford & Porter, IL is unreces-
sary to speak. Mr.. Ford is not only one Of the
largest planters in the South, but one Of our
ablest and most reliable business men. He
says:
l examined the beds or ridges made by the
PLANTER's MACHINE, and do no not hesitate
10 say they are more regular and uniform
Than any / ever saw made by the common
mode of preparing beds. I did not see a test of
the planting portion Of the machine, but FULLY
believe IL will work well. The ground on
which the test WAS made was very dry and
hard, and yet the Flowing was done we'll
more regular and uniform than by the
