Under the present Administration, on
the earnest appeal of Creswell, Congress
passed a law abolishing the iniquitous
system of straw bids, and enabling the
chiefof the department to hold bidders
for mail service to good faith in their
contracts. The reform was opposed and
resisted most violently by the whole army
of shoddy contractors and the ring of
thieves, but Creswell persevered and car
ried it through. He says:
''Now every bidder must accompany his bid with
affidavit showing good faith on the part of the
bidder and his guarantors; and if the last annual
pay on the route exceeded 5000, the bidder must
file with his bid certified check on some solvent
National Bank for five per cent of such last contract
price every bidder is bound by his bid until con-
tract shall be actually made and the service COM
menced, and is punishable by fine and imprison-
ment if he shall refuse to execute a contract when
awarded to him. These measures arr complete,
and may be relied uoon to break up the ingenious
frand of straw bidding, and TO enforce fair compe
tition among honest contractors"
Comparing the statistics of 1871 with
those of 1868, the following gratifying re-
suits appear:
An increase in the ordinary postal rev.
enues of So, 744, 444, or % per cent; an
increase of expenditures of only 81, ,659.

The number of letters exchanged in
the mails with foreign countries in 1871
was 20,295, 99S, being 6 695, ,99S or 494
per cent. greater than the number ex
changed in 1868; the cost of our trans
Atlantic steamship mail service in 1868
was $421 TIT A, and in 1871 it was $174,-
1889; the reduced cost of this service
amounting to $247 ,63905, or So 7-10 per

The rate of single letter postage be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain and Ireland has been reduced by
Grants Administration from "A to cents;
between the United States and Germany

LIVER COMPLAINT, LIVER DISEASE,

LIVER COMPLAINT, LIVER DISEASE,
i. G. BILIoUsNEss Bilious complaints
by some termed liver disease-are very
common in this country. The ordinary
indications, such as yellowness of the
skin and whites of the eyes, pain in the
right side under the inferior ribs, with
sometimes difficulty of respiration and
troublesome cOugh-are familiar to host
of sufferers; but the liver, sometimes, is
in very unsatisfactory state without the
presence of such symptoms When we
reflect that the liver is the largest gland
of the body, that it secretes the bile which
lubricates the bowels and keeps them in
order, is the great blood purifier or cleans
ing machine of our systems, it may
truly be called the Ho'lsekeeper Of Our
Healh. Sudden transitions of climatic
temperature, or impure ar, or lonter are
disturbing elements which arrest the
functions of the liver, and render it
torpid, producing didrrhGa, dyse'te'y.
bilious remiHents, intermittent .feCers, and
general prostration, and unhealthy state
of the whole organization.
1t is not surprising that a medicine
which can restore the healthy opera
tions of the liver, should command gen
eral attention. Such a medicine is CAL

MY DEAR SIR: The mail has just brought
me your note and the extracts clipped from
various papers purporting to be speeches
have to say that they, and all thoughts and
words OF ike character which have appeared
in the papers, are mere inventions, forgeries,
and absolute falsehoods. Never have l
thought, spoken, or written those words,
nor anything resembling those words, nor
ture into such words. l could not have done
so, for they are abhorrent to every convic-
tion of my judgment. every throb of my
heart, every aspiration of my soul. Born in
extreme poverty, having endured the hard
lot the sons of poverty are too often forced
devoted to the creed of human equality. All
my life have cherished as a bright hope,
and held the avowed, living faith of
the doctrine that all men, without dis
tinction of color. race, or nationality, should
have complete liberty and exact equality of
all the rights 1 asked for myself. My
thoughts, my words, my heart, my votes,
have been consecrated for more than thirty
six years to human rights. In the Consti-
tutional Convention of Massachusetts, eight
years. service in her Legislature, in more
than seventeen years in the Senate of the
United States, in thirteen hundred public ad
dresses, in the press and speeches, and in
writings that would fill many volumes, and
make thousands of pages, l have reiterated
and re reiterated those rights for all condi
tions of men. Is it not, my dear sir, passing
strange that partisanship should so blind men
to sense, truth, justice and fair play, that
they could forge and print abhorrent senti
ments, insulting to God and man, and charge
them on one whose life has been given to
the cause of equal rights, and whose pro-
found sympathies were ever given to the
friends of liberty of all races and nationali-
ties abroad? Yours, truly,

THE OLD WHITE HAT.
a. s-rlzss
BY RoR JENNINGS.


VIXEN this old Hat was new my boys,
The Democr It's NV. re fr ely,
" & And da, and night with gr. at delight,
They cur ed old Ho ace Greeley.
But now a change has er them came,
The like / n yer sav
They are now wearing Greeley hats,
And shouting Chappaqua.
Charles Summers now patriot,
''statesman tried and true"
But Bully Brooks broke Summers head,
When this Old Hat was new.
The Democrats all cried well done,
And said he'd got his due,
And swore the, d hang old Greeley next
When this Old Hat was new.
When this old hat was new, my boys,
The very air was rent
With shouts from Democratic throats,
For white mans government
Bur now they are for equal rights,
To every race and hue,
They've turned their backs on all they said,
When this Old Hat was new.
But still it does seem strange to me,
'Tis hard to think SO really,
That Hendricks should BE- showed aside,
For Uncle Horace Greeley.
s4ae.-i Fer Hendricks was Democrat
To his party always true,
And Greeley was its direst foe.
- When this Old Hat was new.
But let us take our dish of dirt,
And try to put il through,
.se And turn our backs upon the past,
When this Old Hat was new.
And when we get old Greeley in,
Wen send him to that shore,
Where Harrison and Taylor
And Lincoln's gone before.
And then with Gratz and Cousin Frank,
And all of the Blair crew,
Well soOu restore the days of yore,
When this Old Hat was new.

Vinegar that viii Keep Pickles.

As the picking season is now at hand and
many of our readers are concerned about
having vinegar that will keep their pickles.
we deem it our duty to inform them that
Prussing's Cider Vinegar is just the thing for
this purpose. 1t is celebrated for its purity,
strength and flavor, and warranted to keep
pickles. His works are the largest of the
kind in the United States yet we are in
formed he can scarcely supply the demand
as those who once use his vinegar will have
no other. Ask your grocer for Prussing's
Vinegar every time if you wish something
sure to keep pickles.-Chi. Trib.
