EDITOR REGISTER Noticing in your
last number an article on the revised Pos
tai Law which is not only erroneous, but
if true would be impracticable. and feel
ing that your readers would like to know
the laao as it now stands, beg leave to
inform them through your columns, though
l must say in preface do not think that
your correspondent signing himself "a
Loser" had any intention of misrepresent.
ing the subject, but that he simply has
either been misinformed or committed an
error It is well known fact that much
trouble has been caused Of late by sever.
al erroneous statements that have from
time to time appeared in public print
throughout the country, and for this rea.
son nothing should be allowed published.
except what is known to he official.
May people send letters and packages
by nail, and hearing nothing farther from
them, accuse the Government of fraud or
neglect, when if the truth was known
they had not complied with the require.
ments Of the law. l will first note in
general terms some of the recent changes
in the law, and afterwards quote the law
relative to the particular subject your
correspondent refers to.
One of the important changes made, is
found In Sec. 1853 of the new postal law
which transmits through the mail all
transient newspapers, pamphlets etc., not
exceeding two ounces for one cent, which
was formerly two cents. Ordinary drop
letters are now only one cent, except in
case of letter carriers being employed,
when two cents will be charged. An.
other and very important change has been
made which interests every letter writer
viz. All letters weighing over ~ one.
half ounce, and on which the writer has
paid only single postage, double postage
in addition to single postage already paid
will be charged, payable BY the person to
whom addressed before receiving the
same. Thus by little neglect on the
part Of the writer. the postage on an or.
binary letter will be nine cents. We now
como to the law referred to by your cor.
respondent, which may be found in the
latter part of SEQ 1873, and reads "Sam.
pies Of metals. ores. and meteorological
/, specimens shall not exceed twelve ounces
in weight, and shall be subject to examin'
: alton and to rates Of postage as herein
after provided Also Sec. l63 (which
refers to Sec. 1881 reads "That on malta,
, BILE matter of the third class, except a,
herein stated. postage shall DO charged a,
the rate Of one cent for each two ounce,
, or fraction thereof Double these rate,
/ shall DO charged for books. samples o.
, metals, ores, minerals, and merchandise
, Sec. 1874 also reads. That no package
weighing more than four pounds shall b.
: received for conveyance by mail, excepr
) books published or circulated by order o.
Congress" Thus we see that no priyat,
citizen or individual can transmit: by mai
any package which exceeds four pounds
, ia weight, or any metals, ores. or mer

gloss and freshness Of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or tho glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, SO that a new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandruff, which is often so I'M
clearly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and iniu-
rious to the hair, the Vigor eau only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
.ong on the hair, giving it rich, glossy
lustre, and grateful perfume.

DEAR siR:-It is one year since you began to
treat me for Chronic Catarrh, which at that time
had troubled me for about four years, your treat
ment removed the disease so that for the past
eight months have had no return of it, and now
feel as time advances, that the cure is permanent
cannot too highly recommend your careful and
skillful treatment. It has the double merit of be-
ing entirel, satisfactory while the treatment
continues, and is permanent and lasting in its re-
suits afterwards.
Very respectfully yours,

SENATORS AGAINST GRANT.

AS on the s'broad field of battle SO in
the narrower esplanade of the Senate, the
lines of heroes meet. The chariots of
Hector and Diomel with furious wbirl Of
wheels changing together, have re-enacted
that mysterious record of history. We
have heard the rushing wind" of words
from the few of that body on whom de-
wolves the duty Of assailing the admins
~tration of Grant. The Senator from New
York. Penton, has piped Ibis plaintive and
various reed" with no uncertain sound, be
ii so musical as Appollo's lutte, by which
the disturbances Of a Universe were
charmed into harmony, and yet Republi-
cans have not beer frightened out of their
wits.
Ii the priest Of Iowa has rehearsed his
essays On political integrity, they have
never been answered by a Senator who
would make pulpit apostacy a C%himborazo
of vice, truculcncy and abandonment.
The 'cnlivening ~cocophany" of Nye of
Nevada, has been heard to swell the dia-
passions that Grants enemies are ringing
over the country, and why do not Grants
enemies answer? The 8fures of Grants
adversaries are all heroic. One is the
Osric of debate, so different from Hot
spur overcharged with the rage and tur-
moil Of battle. This Osric falls short of
his prototype in windy expansion of chest
and protuberance Of abdomen, still he is
q mighty orator. The other m~alcontent,
Carl Schurs, who would array all the
powers of the German-speaking tongue
against the United States on account of
aies of arms to France, has lain his Pro-
methian gifts and Circeronian endowments
upon the altar of q mad and unsuitable am
bition to enkindle war between the Fa-
therlaad and his adopted country. With
such . prestige does the Cincinnati Con-
yention look much like \ success?
Can . National monument, based on
such a foundation, expect the support of
any party outside of it's impossible self?

A recent article in the Brownsville Bee,
if it means anything at all, commits itself
to Gen. w. A. Quarles for hex Governor
of Tennessee. The position of the Dover
Record is Internationally for the General.
The Tobacco Leaf. also, has a strong
leaning that way. From present indica-
ton Governor Rrown will have a strong
opponent for the Democratic nomination,
IN the person of General Quarles.
We look npoE this opening breach as
most hopeful. A regular fight in the
Democratic ranks would be a Godsena to
he State. We want no rebel Democrat
Office, and we are as uncompromisingly
opposed to an Executive who will give
MS official sanction to as Infamous a law
is that Venue" enactment.
