The Postoffice Department has just
made an important decision regarding
the transmission of newspapers by mail, +,
which is of considerable Interest not
only to publishers but to the people
generally. Under the new construc-
tion placed upon the law, no name or
memorandum can be made on news.

address is written. 1t is barely per-
nissable to mark an article with pen
or pencil. More than this subjects
the Taper to letter postage, and the
violator of the law to fine. Neither
must any printed card, handbill or adj
vtrtisement, written notice, letter or
slip of any kinl whatsoever, be folded
in the paper. Printed slips posted on
the out side or folded in paper or peri
odicals, soliciting notices, are also
violations of the law. These facts are
of importance, and should be borne in
mind.
The following extract from an ed
itorial in the Lorain, o., NeloS ex-
plains ITSELF "a little more than a
year ago, the price of the Ne,cs was
reduced to one dollar and Il half by
way of experiment. That experiment
did not succeed. In fact, since the
price was reduced, the subscriptions
have not paid for the type-settlng and
press-work. Mr. Butler, the late pro.
prietor, purposed returning to the old
terms on the first Of January, 1872.
We shall defer the change until the
seventh of March. 1t is Il folly for
country papers to attompt to compete
in price with city weeklies. A paper,
if worth anything, is worth what it
costs to produce il, and, although it
may not receive the support to which
it is entitled, enough men of sense and
justice will be found to sustain il"

WHAT CONGRESS rs DOING.

WASHINGTON. March IA.
In the House to-day the bill paying Kansas
s32, 700 for war expenses was passed. The
bill authorizing the Southern claims commits
sion to appoint special commissioners to take
evidence was passed. A large number of pri-
vate bills were reported by the committee on
claims and passed. The conference committee
reported a bill giving st. Louis $500, 900 for q
site, and ST, 600 for public buildings, which
was passed.
In the Senate most of the day was used In a
wrangle over precedence. Sherman wants
the tariff, Cole wants appropriations, Chan
dler wants commerce, while other senators
press comparatively private measures to pre-.
cedence. Trumbul said 1t would be folly to
pass the tariff, because the House would table
il. The House had passed the bill repeating
the duty on coal, and Sherman had tackled
on the general tariff bill In the face Of the con.
siitutIon, which says that bills for revenue
shall originate In the House. The conference
report giving st. Louis two and quarter mill
lions was passed, and goes to the President
The salaries OF district judges were raised to
FIVE thousand dollars, with q clause authoriz-
Ing their transfer from one district to another,
as the exRencies of the service require. This
goes back to the House for concurrence. The
tariff bill was sread. Scott of Pennsylvania,
gave notice ofan amendment for free tea and
coffee. Adjourned.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS.
Being constant and appreciative reader OF
your paper, beg that you will grant me a
small space In Its columns. - p. =.
The uniformly favorable tenor of the crop
reports published in TIE NEWS since January
has greatly astonisbed me, and leads me to
inquire from what sections your information
is obtained? z'l - = a.~.'5
In this portion of the State, the season has
not been so unfavorable and farming opera
tions go backward. since the war. In Sumter
County, the rains have been 80 excessive as
to seriously retard all field work. 1 have
never seen less ploughing done at this period
Of the year. The bad condition of the roads,
in consequence of the rains; has made@it Inn
possible for persons living at a distance to
bring full loads Of fertilizers from the depot,
and more time than usual has been consumed
In hauling.
Should the weather, which .is now very
much unsettled, break off fair and warm, 1t
will be some days before planters can put
corn In the ground with any certainty of get
ting q stand, the earth Is 30 wet and cold.
There is no more sign of vegetatlon.now than
there was In the month Of January.
Ii there are others of your subscribers dis
posed to send you correct statements concern
Ing the agricultural interest, take the liberty
to cay. that many other planters of Sumter
County, as well as your correspondent, would
be glad to see their reports with their names
in full. a. .. :, q. A. JAMEs.

{" Oh Dear, What Can the Matter BE
From the Savannah News, March l4.l

From the Savannah News, March a.
It Is not often that the News complains
about the state of things in Savannah, but
really the lack of public spirit is becoming SO
apparent that 1t is the duty of the press to call
attention to 1t. The "funeral Invitation" of
the Industrial Association of Georgia Is now
being published in the papers, and that instilu.
lion, which, through lamentable financial
failure, was as fair success, when the In
direct good which 1t would have done our city
is considered, had 1t been kept up. We now
see that 1t Is to be sacrificed, we fear to the
detrIment of the reputation of our city for
public spirit and enterprise. In another
column, we record the unsuccessful attempt
to provide means for erecting an Odd Eel
lows hall, and the proposed dissolu-
tion of the association. In this connection
we might mention that the building OF the
Masonic Hall has been postponed for want of
funds. For several weeks prominent and
energetic citizen has been endeavoring to
raise sixty thousand dollars with which to
erect q cotton mill, which would have given
employment to many needy persons. He has
moi vet succeeded. Another Instance We might
mention ia the fact that steamer which has
been for several wears Identified with the trade
of Savannah was about being sold to parties
North and sent away because OF the dlmcuty
encountered In getting subscriptions to the
capital stock of new company amounting 10
only fifteen thousand dollars. There are
other Instances thatwe might also mention,
but this Is enough, and we but repeat tne
heading, "What can the matter be 2"
