THE new postal law will not only prove
to be great benefit to the public, but it
will be serious blow to the monopoly
maintained by the express companies, in its
virtual adaptation of the English parcel
post system. According to the new regu-
lations packages Of dry goods, hardware,
drugs except liquid drugs and other mer-
chandise not exceeding twelve ounces in
weight, can be mailed to any part of the
United States at charge of two cents for
each two ounces OF fraction of two ounces.
As the Express companies charge from
thirty-fve to forty cents for the transmits
sion of package, however small, the re-
'duced cost of transporting small packages
will be at once apparent, and the aggregate
sum saved will be no small item to every
business man. We can now send pair
of boots across the, continent, in two pack
ages, for twenty-four cents, by mail, when
the same articles, if sent by express,
would cost more than their value. The
public has not taken advantage of the new
system to such an extent as to make it re-
muneratiye, but it is confidently expected
that when the advantages of the system
are thoroughly appreciated, the scheme will
prove as profitable to the government as it
| is beneficial to the public. % lofnr'

II turns out that the trick Of claiming
that North Carolina had elected the Demo-
caatic ticket by an overwhelming majority
was for the purpose Of inducing the doubt
full, particularly in Maine, to declare fol
Greeley. twas well played, and the Re-
publican press was generally sold by it.
That we were not included among the sold,
was owing to the extrayagant shouting of
the Liberals" over what we knew to be
an impossible achievement.

4 WE hardly known, says the Baltimore
american, which most to admire, the facile
conscience which enables the World to in
dignantly condemn Republican journals for
charactcrizng Mr.. Greeley to-day in such
set terms as itself used to characterize him
but yesterday, as it were, or its simu-
lated indignation at the plain language
of /" truthful James" Lyons, Of Virginia.
The repertory Of coarse epithet, invented
and literally patronized on almost all
occasions by its candidate as jour
nalist, certainly has no equal in this coun-
try. After giving helie, and wallowing
in vulgarity for thirty years, Mr.. Greeley
is estopped from complaint of that sauce
for the goose which he so truculently
served out TO the gander. If MIR. Lyons
defines the personal issue as "a choice be-
tween renowned warrior and renowned
fool," we may question his taste !; but
since he only copies the manners of one
whom he defines as "a renowned fool"
that unfortunate and his friends may as well
swallow the affront, as, they have its prece-
dents, without winking. The World, for
the term of its existence up to few days
ago. habitually treated Mr.. Greeley as a
compound of knavery and imbecility, and
not ten days before his nomination at Bal
timore declared that such an event would
be inconsistent with honor and decency.
Mr.. Lyons has said nothing worse than
that, -. =, .-e..i.l..5 s.f rlEu5gN g4sWu

THE Cincinnati Gazette thus calls atten-
ton to one significant fact, which many
business men, did not fail to observe+the
effect of the reports from North Carolina
last Friday on the markets: '.'y ~ +,
YESTERDAY morning, when the news SEEM
ed to indicate Merrimon's election, the New
York stock market was depressed, and late in
the day, when itwa decisively claimed that
Democratic triumph had been achieved,
values of all classes of railroad securities
were sharply depressed. Thus does Wall
street, quick to detect the effect of elections
as well as all sorts Of political movements,
respond to the intelligence of a Greeley
victory" t sn & ~, .s5. b.,-s
We know now the falsity of those re-
ports. But the effect was illustrated pre-
cisely as if they had been true. As the
Greeley prospects go up, the evidences Of
financial trust and security go. down. Ills
election would produce financial crash.

Mrs. HARRIET BEECIIER STOWE says
