CENT POSTAGE

The new postal code, section 40, pro-
vides for the issuance Of postal cards with
postage stamps impressed upon them,
to be transmitted through the mails at
one cent each. On these cards can be
written letters, messages, notices. etc,
to send which under the old system
would cost three cents. Epistolary
correspondence will have to be d.
'vided into two classes. That which
conveys confidential and amatory
news, and that which contains informa-
ton that cannot be of the slightest inte-
rest to others, even if seen by them.
Messages Of the latter character can be
trusted to the postal card, that are only
subject TO the inspection Of postofiice
clerks and letter-carriers, who have
but little curiosity in such things by
reason Of constant handling of cor
respondence, which causes them to treat
all letters coming into their hands in a
mechanical manner. This is a step to.
ward the universal cent postage system.
If correspondence is increased thereby
cheaper postage will be the result, a pub
lie benefit that cannot be too highly APP
preciated. These postal cards have not
as yet been issued by the Department
audit will be some weeks before the DIFF
ferent Offices throughout the country arr
supplied with them.

THE coLoREp VOTERS

The Radical candidates in our city
are drumming up and drilling the blacl
cohorts of Africa SO as to make them
useful IN the ensuing county election.
The speeches delivered by leading Rad
icals at the recent assemblage of the
Sons of Ham were full Of adroit sugges-
tons, well calculated TO arouse the pas
sions of the colored brothers and array
them against the whites. In Shelby
county, notwithstanding the fact that the
negro lives only by the aid of the white
man, he persistently votes with the enc
mics of his employer. Efforts have been
made to instruct the negro as to his true
interest, but without avail. The siren
song of a Radical is masic to
his ear. Fortunately the negro vote
can be dispensed with by the Con-
sentative party in Shelby county.
The negroes will not be guided by the
counsels Of disinterested advisers; they
prefer listening TO carpet-baggers who
strangely have obtained unbounded in
huence over them by appealing to their
passions and prejudices. The black
mans crisis may come at last, brought
about by this persistent enmity to the
white race, in which contest the blacks
must of necessity be the sufferers. The
very best and wisest thing the negroes
can do is to choose between the parties
and their candidates as white men choose
between them. The very worst and
most foolish thug they can do is to
deepen and widen the line Of color, as
they are doing, in the politics Of the
country. Should the colored voters Of
Tennessee array themselves en- masse
against Greeley, who has always been
their friend, and for Grant, who has no
claim whatever upon their gratitude, no
interpreter viii be needed to explain the
meaning OF their conduct.

a bread knife inflicted three wounds ON
his daughter, two being about the head

masters of the country, acting, it is to

army of newspaper canyassers who are
expected to bore the public with solicit
tations to subscribe for Administration
journals, while doing all they can to in
jure the circulation of such papers as
refuse to support the continuance in
power Of Grant and his horde Of public
plsnderers. 1t is very suspicious cir
cumstance that simultaneously with the
active initiation Of the Presidential cam
paign we should find in widely separated
parts Of the country constant complaints
from great numbers Of people that they
are unable to get the newspapers of de-
cided anti-Grant politics delivered to
