THANKING,

Our readers already know that the postal
laws covering the free transmission of Grant
canpaign documents are entirely different
from those which are applied to documents in
the interest of Greeley and Brown. Copies of
The Ne,c- York Times are franked by the thou
sand and sent out from Washington and New
York, and no postmaster presumes to stop
them; but when Congressman Roosevelt tries
to frank bundle of speeches on the other
side, our Jealous Postmaster discovers that a
circular OF some sort has been folded with the
document, and so refuses to let them pass.
Senator Wilson sends large bundles of his
speeches mot his Know othing speech, nor
his jew speedy, fnnked but undirected,
through the mails, and Doctor Grants post
masters distribute then. But if Liberal or
Democratic Congressman should use his frank
in the same way, what howl there would be
about iti
The law restricts the Franking privilege Of
Senators and Representatives "to cover their
correspondence, all printed matter issued by
"authority of Congress, and all speeches, pro-
"ceedings, and debates IL Congress" Now the
Grant committees are loading the mails with
campaign documents which by no stretch OF
fancy can be brought within any of these
categOries. Here, for instance, is a package OF
one hundred blank envelopes, frankod W j.
II. Platt, NJ. c., and sent through the
New-York Post-Ofice TO certain adj
dress in Broad-st. They do not contain
Mr.. Platt's correspondence nor proceed
ings in Congress, nor anything printed
by authority of either House, but they cover

TALKING FROM TIE TEETH OUTWARDS.
There is no doubt that the fight in Maine is
to be hot one. Up to recent period the
Renominationists were so sure of their victory
that the canvass in that State threatened to
be comparatively decOrous and dull. But the
signs of the rapidly increasing Greeley move
ment have grown so obtrusively evident that
the Office holders and expectants in the Grant
interest are becoming seriously alarmed for
their places. Mr.. Blaine first rushed in un-
hidden and put himself in the way of chastise-
ment at the hands of Mr. Sumner. Now Mr..
Hdmlin comes forward and gives tongue also,
in what an admiring newspaper calls the
painest and bluntest fashion," His
speech at Bangor was certainly plain,
in the sense that it was not
attractive and as certainly blunt, in that it
was destitute of sharpness That it was ram
bling and incOherent, that what 1t said in one
minute it contradicted in another was merely
the natural result of the fact that bad ora
tor was sustaining bad cause. He began by
saying that the Democratic party might be re-
garded as dead, and then went on to show
how dangerous 1t still was. He said it was
on its knees begging for pardon, and then said
it showed no signs OF penitence. OF course
he meant nothing by all this, and was merely
talking for talks sake. 1t was the same when
he said the whole fight of the opposition was
10 get office. 1t is of course true that good
many men in both parties have political aspi
ratons, but MIR. Hamlin cannot look in his
glass with straight face and toll the veteran
politician he sees there. that no believes tho

abuse are not brought to our notice.

ments not printed by authority Of Congress

surrendered to the allegation that it had
"been profigate in expenditures. The people

The season for jail-breaking seems to have
fully set in. The most remarkable escape of
the Summer is that of thirty boys who have
gotten away from the State Reform School
in WeStbOrO', Massachusetts. The fact has a

the boys and their keepers. They must be

Our dispatches describe singular circus
scene in an Illinois village, where @ rhinoceros
broke loose from his keepers, killed two SUI
pernumeraries and gave the audience an ex-
ceedingly lively moment. The effect of such
occurrences should be to teach greater care
and reserve in the management of menagenes.
But the effect really will be to add greatly to
the popularity and tractile capacity of the
unicorn.

A telegram which we publish this morning
leaves little ground for hope that war be-
tween Brazil and the Argentine Republic will
be averted As the case now stands Brazil is
in the position of failing to atone for Its
breach of its treaty obligations by accepting
the propositions of the Argentine Envoy. Of
the character of those propositions we are
without any information. But the fact that
the Republic has manifested a disposition to
settle the pending questions by peaceful nego-
tiations is in strong contrast with the military
preparations which Brazil was prompt to
make. When we consider that the population
and military power of the Empire and the
Republic are in the proportion of ten to one,
the course of the former is very suggestive OF
aggressive designs upon the weaker power.

The Barnard trial draws near its close.
Judge Van Colt concluded yesterday on behalf
of the impeachment in brief and effective
speech, and the Court has been almost ever
since in secret session. There is a strong con-
fidence felt in Saratoga that the verdict will
be in favor not only of removal, but of dis
qualification. But we have SO short a time to
wait for the final decision that it would be
scarcely worth while to waste time in con-
lectures.

We are greatly pleased at the end of the
recent prize fight on the Lower Potomac.
Five steam tugs and two schooners loaded
with passengers went down to Cow River to
see the gentle and joyous passage at arms
between two rufiians named Mace and O'Bald-
win. They waited nearly all day. The gen
tlemen with the concave noses did not arrive.
The amateurs went home disguised. The
result is one to be commended. The boxers
may be towards and thieves and probably
are, but in this case they were the instruments
of righteous punishment to their patrons. We
may now reasonably hope there will never be
another honest or honorable prize fight in this
country.
