As one of the planks in the Philadelphia plat
form, the New York Independent urges resolu-
tion favoring cheap postage. 1t proposes that
mail matter shall be carried at the rate Of one
cent per ounce. This would be only one-sixth
Of the present rate-three cents per half ounce.
The extent of reduction here proposed is pos
sibly too great, but in the main the suggestion
is good one, and ought to be adopted by the
Convention. The Convention at Philadelphia in
1856, resolved in favor of the Pacific Railroad,
and that great work owes much of its final sue
cess, no doubt, to the stimulus then given, and
the hold it acquired upon the approval of many
Of the most enterprising American people In
a similar manner but to a greater degree,
this Convention can undertake the Cheap
Postage Reform, and make communication by
letter among the American people cheaper,
easier, and more common than among any other
people in the world Certainly, it ought to be so.
State Senator (and ex-U. s. senator,) Charles
r Buckalow, of Columbia county, whom the Dem
ocrats nominated for Governor of Pennsylvania
yesterday, will be, perhaps strong candidate
though we do not regard this as certain. He has
been an advocate of Reform, in some directions,
but his course in the State Senate, on various
occasions, has been that of an extreme partisan,
and he has identified himself with some Of the
most unscrupulous and unfair actions OF the
accidental Democratic majority in that body.
The record of these acts will be produced against
him, OF course, and it will show greater degree
Of weakness tAan has been supposed by some oi

1t is unquestionable that Greeley is gaming
strength. The New York Tribune is capturing

its resolutions favor him in spirit. and turn the

The HEATED TERM.

E1GHrY-N1NE IN THE SHADE.

The weather prospect is decidedly improvin0
yesterday being day or comparative ease when it
is remembered what surfeit OF heat we have had
recently. For many days past tue mercury In ths
thermometer stood, at different hours each day
high in the nineties, AMI Sd persistently did the
heat continue that there was scarcely any difference
in the temperature from day to day until Thursday
evening last. Yesterday, however, the highest
point reached was SO degrees, at halfpast three
O'Clock P. M while at noon it was down to s.
degrees.
The increase In the mortality Of the city since the
heated term in gives striking proof of the peo.
ple's recklessness in regard to hfs The record OF
vital statistics for the last two weeks seems more
like the announcement OF the results of some dread
epidemic than OF a two weeks mortality while the
city was fearless or contagious disease. The vic.
tins to the heat day aItar day increased In num-
bers to 80 great an extent that, did not the temper
ature become colder, the PROBABILITY H. considering
the utter want of precauton by ths people, that
the list OF the dead would soon be appalling. Not
only did the heat do It's deadly work upon those
stricken out OF doors by the sum- but it also has
tened the end OF very many persons SICK from other
diseases, who We're unable to withstand the con-
tnued exhaustion. For the week ending June 20
there we're 1853 deaths, Will, for the week ending
July the number OF deaths was 1850,
week. The mortality last week, therefore, exceeded
that OF 1853 and OF 1870, the deaths for the week
ending July IS, 1853, being l,li2 and for the week
ending July %, 1870 l,04S, the largest numbers for
many previous years.
Though there were several cases OF sunstrOke yes
such as to induce the BELIEF lief that there win be no
more fatal cases. Out of doors the weather was not
very disagreeabe. and there was for the greater
part of the day good deal OF breeze In the streets
but 1t must be said at the same time, that the at
mosphere was thick and heavy, and that the day
patton that now, the heated term being over, the
worst Is over, and that we shall have endurable
weather for some time to come.
