GOVERNOR DIX.

The present Governor of New
York, when Senator of the United
States, set an example which was
worthy Of being follow by Congress-
men since that time. The President
having called an extra session of the
Senate in 1845, the question of ex-
ira session of the Senate in 1876,
the question of constructive mileage
was at once raised. 1t was claimed
that as one session had expired and
another had begun, the Senators
were presumed by the law to have
returned to their, homes between
the two-though in point of fact
they had not and could not-and
that they were legally entitled to-
draw mileage. Vice President Dal-
las, to whom the question was sub
mitted, decided the point well taken
and thus the Senators were enabled
under the law to draw the extra
compensation. But thirty-six Of the
Senators-eighteen Democrats un-
der the lead of Tom Benton, and
eighteen Wings under the lead of
John McP. Berrien, of Georgia en-
tered into an agreement among
themselves not to take this con-
structive mileage. Senator Dix, of
New York, was one of the first to
suggest, and one of the first to join
the movement. Four years later, in
1S49, when, at the end of his term,
he came to settle his accounts with
the Sergent-at-arms, that officer ask
ed him if he did not wish to draw
his mileage for the extra session of
1S45. He answered that he had en-.
tered into an agreement not to take
it. He was told that all the others
had drawn theirs. What, had Sena-
tor Benton drawn his? Yes, and all
the rest. "Well, ,rsaid Senator Dix.
al will take it-into Constellation" :"
And it remains in the Treasury to
this day. This incident is recalled
to public attention by the Albany
journal. .Ia .'s1nsi l.slz . -ER gll-G9-'

By Mr.. Brinesmade-From ]. II.
H. B. Huribut, B. F.
Smith and others, for. the passage of
Senate bills for the better protection
of railroads and persons travelling
thereon.
Also, from citizens of Cuyahoga
county, for a law to authorize the
incorporation of socities for preven
ton of cruelty to animals.
Senate bill by Mr.. .Beavis, to enable
associations of persons formed for
the purpose Of preventing cruelty to
animals to become parties corporate
was passed:
The remainder of the morning ses-
sion was occupied in diacussing Mr..
Smiths bill to regulate freights on
railroads.
Mr.. Smith read an elaborate and
carefully prepared speech in favor of
the passage ofthe bill.
Mr.. Easement said if the gentle
mans theory was correct the bill
ought to pass, but he was confident
theory would fail in practice. Un-
der the pending bill railroad COM
binations to keep up prices Of trans
portation would be more successful
than ever. He Mr.. Casement) IVES
at this time connected with the con-
struction of a railroad that he had
NO doubt that the passage of this
bill would be worth-a million of dol
lars q year to, yet he should not
vote the bill.
In answer to question as to how
he would remedy the evils suffered
by the people from exactions by the
people from exactions by railroads
Mr.. Easement replied, by leaving
competition open, and under the ex-
listing law prohibiting the roads from
carrying freight for any distance at
a less rate than is charged for like
freight for q less distance.
Recess.
HOUSE.
The morning hour was mostly oc
cupied in disposing Of Senate mes
sages. ft io ln- 19
The bill was passed for the relief
of George w. Darling, Treasurer of
Worthington township, Richland,
county. i;' so si afrffe
! The general appropriation bill
was taken up pending an amend
ment to insert thirty thousand dol
lars for an addition to the asylum
for imbeciles. Mr.. Scott strongly
opposed the amendment,stating that
the treasury would be short of funds
to meet all the requirements Of the
State government if the appropria
tions asked for were allowed.
Mr.. Babcock contracted the state
ment, and was assured that there
would be q margin of two hundred
thousand dollars in the treasury.
q Mr.. Mcfarland was satisfied from
information received in the Auditor
of States Office that the gentleman
from Warren Mr.. Scott )purposely
concealed from this House some of
the sources ofrevenue. .-... ri5a.
Mr.. Scott rising excitedly. while
the speakers gravel fell rapidly and
yiolently)-I tell the gentleman
from Cuyahoga on the floor of this
House that he lies.
The Speaker called Mr.. Mcfarland
to order.
Mr.. Mcfarland was sorry to have
transgressed rule of the House, but
had no apology for the gentleman
from Warren. He could better af-
ford to hear the gentleman from
Warren say what he had than that
gentleman could afford to use such
language on the floor of the House.
Here this discussion resumed its
customary dullness, until the House
without coming to vote on the
amendment, took a recess.

AL ABOUT the NEW POSTAL CARD.
As stated few days since 5000,
200 of the new postal cards authoriz

As stated a few days since 5000,
600 Of the new postal cards authoriz
ed by Congress will be delivered to
the Postmaster General for issue by
the Morgan Envelope Company OF
Springfield, Mass, on the first prox-
imo. 1t has been stated that there
will be two kinds of such cards
one ruled and the other without lines
but such is not the case. There
will be but one kind of card. and
that will oe of cream color, five and
one-eighth inches in length and
three inches in width. One side ofthe
card on (thee intended for the mes
sage)is entirely plain, and the 9TH
er bears an ornamental scrol-work
border, one-eighth of an inch in
width. In the right hand upper
corner is 8 picture ofthe Goddess ol
Liberty, surrounded with a schroll
work border, in which are the words
''U. S. Postage-one cent" In the
left corner, and extending two-third
across the card ARE the words in vel
vet-brown letters: Omitted States
Postal card;;" and below. in smaller
letters: "Write the address only on
this side = the message on the 9TH
er." Beneath this, and to the left
is the word ''To" in script followed
by line extending across the card,
for the name of the party addressed.
Below this are two other lines-one
being for the name and posto6ice
and the other for the county and
State. Although it is not expected
that any one will put more than the
address on one side, there is no pro
hibition against filling both sides
with writing, provided the address
remains legible, nor is it contrary to
law to the place printing on the card
instead of writing. The cards viii
be distributed to = postmasters
throughout the country on requisi
ton, the same as other supplies,and
will be sold at the stamp window at
one cent each. The question has
frequently been asked whether q
plain card, bearing a one cent
stamp, will not be allowed to pass
through the mails the same as the
government cards; but the law pre-
vents the use or the transmission OF
any but official cards. The cost of
the postal cards is 81 395 per thou
sand, that being the bid of the sue
cessful competitor for their manu-
facture.

Just Like hInn,an nature.

A certain deacon was very much in
terested in II revival that was taking
place in the neighborhood lie had
frequently importuned an old neighbdr
of his--who was not particularly noted
for his profession of religion, but was
nevertheless highly respected by all
who knew him--to attend one of their
evening meetings. Now the piety and
honesty of the deacon was II matter of
doubt amongh his lellow-townsmen, and
particularly SO with the old man we
have mentioned who, for convenience,
We may call Uncle Josh.
After repeated calls, Uncle Josh con-
scented to accompany the Deacon to
one of the meetings, much to the sur
prise of all present. In the course of
the evening the Deacon arose with II
penitcntinl countenance to tell his cX-
perience. He was the prince Of SIN
ners, he said. II he got his deserts he
would be bnnished forever from .Di-
vine favor. After making himself out
all that Is vile in man, according to his
Interpretation of she that humblcth
himself shall be exalted" he sat down
with the sublime sense OF having zone
his duty, and asked Uncle Josh II he
would not tell his experience. With
some little reluctance he'arose, amid
the brcathless attention of the assem-
bly,. Il 1t WAS an unknown occurrence
for Uncle Josh to speak in meeting.
He said he listened with great interest
to the remarks Of the deacon, and he
could assure the brethren that, from
his Icing acquaintance With him, he
could fully endorse all the deacon had
said concerning his meanness and vile
ness, for he certainly was the meanest
man lie ever knew. The wrath of the
deacon was terrific. He rose out of his
seat, shook his fist under Uncle Josh's
nose, and losing all control Of himself,
exclaimed:
"You're n COMPOUNDED liar, and I'll
whip you rs soon ~ YOU get out OF
