"Doubls Postage "

The papers throughout the country
continue to discuss the recent ruling of
the Post Ofies Department, requiring the
collection of dJubie postage on letters
not fully prepaid Inc opinion appears
to be practically unanimous against the
decision OF the Department, and the ex-
pecIation general that 1t Will be modified
cit er by the courts or additional legisla-
ton. The Worcester Spy, reviewing the
matter, and the correspondence recentiv
published between Judge Paschal and
the Department, says
ut seems very plain that the POstnas-
ter Generals Interpretation Of the law Is
incorrect, and that his instructions are
tim between the two unlike cases which
are differently provided for in the Law TO
which appeal Is made. IL is lawful %
collect double rates on letters sent BY
"insdyertence' without any payment of
postage; but, plainly, it is not law ia, To
collect double rates on unpaid balances.
when Eat least one full rate of postage
has been paid for the act Of Congress
says expressly that only "the unpaid
rate shall be collected on delivery. We
believe Judge Pascbal Will pursue the
matter IN accordance with bis notice 10
she Post Office authorities; and we see
no room to doubt that the Postmaster
Generals instructions will be declared
illegal. No doubt he thinks honestly ne
Is right; but such q settlement Of the
question as Judge Paschal proposes
ought 20 be made as soon es possible"

Crumbs Of Comfort.

We believe that the destiny OF human
liberty is now being worked out in these
United States, but we will not doubt its
success. Corruption truly has hindered,
but It cannot always keep it down.
Human liberty does not recognize
among iSr followers those who thrive
politically by cultivating sectional hate
and there are those in the northern Sec
tlon- by hundreds Of thousands, who hate
The oJuth with a cruel hatred. But they
will &c hope, become ashamed Of them
selves. And we expect that four years
more Of Grant rule will make them so
ashamed that few of them will be willing
to acknowledge that they voted for him
without expressing sorrow for it.
Let US hope ardently that there is yet
not fur Cd, glorious era, when corrup>

that an era Of fraternity and prosperity
