The public would be glad to know what possible
excuse the Postmastcr-General can have for supply
ing the country with copies Of The Nar York Times
covered by official envelopes and under his own otf-
cia frank. Or, If the PostmGsterGeneral is bent on
making the postal service free advertising medium
for tho aforesaid publication why should these
papers bo sent first to Washington and then
again be transported at public cost' Copies of
The Ne,c-Y Times of Jan. "A, bearing the Post
master-Gencrars frank and containing defense of
the Presidents appointments to Office, have been cir
culated through the Mississippi Valley. and, prob
ably other parts of the country. Mr.. Creswell has
repeatedly lectured Congress on the duty and pro-
prety of aboshing the ranking privilege, but none
of his arguments have been so forcible as this i'll
stance of abuse of the frank, furnished under his
own hand.

for the notorious firm of Leet g. Stocking,
who are by no means dispossessed OF their
much-coveted "plums." This is discOuragng

The English critics who used to ask Who reads
an American book (" answer their own question
a-lays by dcvourng all the American publications
they can find and suffering consequent fits of
abusive indigestion. For to the weakest and sillicst
and thinnest of our books, which no American critic
thinks worthy of notice, they devote column after
column of criticism, caricaturing what are them
selves caricatures and expendiug vast amount of
time and i-hnmOr paper windmils. Ii seems to

Election FRAUDS AND Laws.

At our last State Election, this remarkable
anomaly was presented: While the aggregate
vote was less than it had been the year be-
fore (when IA Governor and Representatives in
Congress were chOscn), the vote of Kings
County-that is, of our sister city OF Brook
lyn-was increased more than Seren Thousand :;
and while nearly if not quite every other
County showed large Republican gains (lloii'-
mans Thirty-three Thousand majority for
Governor in 1870 having been transformed
into an average Republican majority of nearly
Twenty Thousand), Kings County, and es-
peciaIly It's great city, showed u moderate
Democratic gain! The totals, as canvassed,
were as follows
1870. 1871.
Hoffman. .25, 1913 Willers. .... 29,O92
W00dford. go. ,403 Scribner..
Total. ...4O,GOl Total .4S,071
Dem. majority. 9,'95 Dem. majority. .lo,li3
Yet five districts of the With and XIIth
Wards, wherein the frauds were last Fall most
gigantic, were not canvassed, though it was
pretended that they had polled over Three
Thousand votes. Had the returns from these
districts been counted, the aggregate vote
would have been swclled more than Ten
Thousand while the Democratic majority
would have exceeded TWeiuo Thousand!
OF this extraordinary result, there is one
only and simple cxplanatioD-Fraud. Enor-
nous repeating, ballo-box stufiing. and NO
farious counting, made the Democratic major
ity many thousands more than it should have
been. Hence, we are confident. that the Citi-
zens' Committee of Seventy-fiye are quite
within the truth in reporting that more than
EieUen thousand illegal votes were cast in that
city last Fall Aud wo may add that tho true

The Hon. Thomas Fitch. i'll the DeSeret
Territorial Convention. IN his argument against
polygamy, disposed of the patriarchal pre-
cedent in tho following neat way: If Abs-
ham had lived on the line of the overland
road in tho afternoon of the nineteenth century,
if Isaac had been surrounded by forty mil
lions Of homogeneous Yankees, if Jacob had asso-
ciatcd with miners and been jostled by specuators,
there would, apprehend, have been q different
order of social life in PALESTINE Mr. Fitch also told
the Mormons that the American people were not only
desirous of eradicatng poygamy but that they were
Gui,e able TO eradicate it. "iou Mormons." he said,
may delay the issue, but yOu cannot eyade 1t. IL
YOU stick to polygamy, you will show yourselves to
be neither philosophers nor philanthIopists.' This
noble dose of capital common sense ought to have
good effect upon the patriarchs, and probably will
operate bcnefically; f,r whatever else they may be-
the Mormon leaders are not fools.

There is religious newspaper published st Pitts
burgh called Tie Nethodist Record which publishes
selection from the letters which it receives from
its subscribers. and at least shows great Judgment
in making the selection. For example. the man who
stops his Recorder must necessarily be ignoramuS
because he writes as follows:
Desire those stopped Tor ont or months

writes:

Isle Of PatmO-, y for grace - sustain us' ~
The number of people who admire The Recorder
to the extent of sending 81 is wonderful, and some
admire to tho extent of 81. these last writing IN
couples. One person sends S8 for four copies. ana
says that he don't see how man can be Christian
and not take TIE Recorder; and that appears to be
also The Recorders view exactly.

The Western Christian idtocdie wants no mistake
made about what it believes. 1t promulgates dis
,incty opinion that the soul will be regenerated,
that the body will be regcnorated, and that the
earth will be regenerated. The soul Will pass into
the divine family. the body will exchange its car
nality for spirituality. and assume interruption.
The earth az to its primal elements having been
dissolved by fire, will form combinations, so
that there will be a earth for the regenerated
bodies and souls to dwell in. There is mild flavor
of materiality about this doctrine which may
commend it to some and which will render it de-
cidcdlN disaTceable to Others.

An astonishing rumor has recently prevailed in
Virginia, the purport of it being that the Governor
is about to appoint -four hundred Colonels of mil
itia" which would give two or three dozen Colonies
to every regiment. The Petersburg IrODess says that
of Colonels alone in Virginia, regular and honorary,
there cannot be less already than 10000, including
members of the Legislature, newspaper reporters,
lawyers sheris, and other public men whose ac-
knowledged right it is to be thus dubbed. If this
sort of thing continues ~ il is now going on IN all
the States. plain Mister will be the most exclu-
sive aud disting ngushed title which man can bear.

TO sell themselves TO the highest matrInomai

in most of the social ranks Poets declare 1t, cynics

it is all under tho however plainly the fact OF

wit or the grace TO ignore it and to perform
respectable comedy Of truth and affection before the
world 1t is MT often that we hear Of such case as
has lately been airing itself in that dusty den the
English Court Of Cbancery. The heroine was
young widow, who, after becoming engaged TO one
adorer. felt hankering for the plumper purse OF
another who proposed huge settlements as an IN
ducernent to break that engagement. Sho kindly

should deceive and matreat her, and leave her

the story and points its moral.

A. might be expected, the sacrifice of Sur
veyor LOnGstreet, to placate the exaceIbated
Republicans of Louisiana, fails to have the
least effect. While Collector Casey, for whom
the President seems to have a clinging afiec-
tion, is retained, the head and front of the
whole offending is untouched. Surveyor Long
streets resignation was forced upon him by
the scandalous and unchecked proceedings Of
Casey and Packard, and so his head is accepted
IA yicarious sacrifice. This whole unhappy
business has now gone too far, apparently, for
any remedy; and the Administration seems
bound to persist in the fatal error winch was
made when the Collector and Marshal were
permitted to remain after their conspiracy.

The letter of Col. Jussen to the editor Of

morality in Chicago not less alarming than
that of the Leets and Stockings in New-York.
He declares plainly that brother of the Presi-

after dismissal for grave misappropriatOn Of
funds, received almost immediate reappoint-
memt to Office. Col. Jusscn speaks directly
and his charges should be at once thoroughly
