Postal Cards InyiOlablc.
The Cincinnati Inquirer says:

1t is well to state for public infor.
nation that the post-ofiice depart
ment holds that they are to be
regarded precisely as sealed letters.
No post office official has any more
right to inspect what is written on a
postal card than he has to break the
seal of a letter for the purpose Of ac-
quainting himself with its contents.
After the delivery Of postal card, If
left at such public places AS hotels.
boarding houses, stores, etc, there is,
of course, no means Of preventing
dishonorable persons from peeping
at its contents, if so disposed, unles
it should be placed directly in the
hands Of the person for whom it was
intended. When the post-oflice au-
thorities discover that the postal
cards are being put to improper uses,
they will decline to deliver, just az
il now done in the case OF letters.

The Agricultural COngress.

Ofthc various assembages recent
~ held to consider the material wants
Of the country the Agricultural Con-
gress which met at Indianapolis last
week IL deserving OF prominent no.
tice. Two hundred individuals were
present, representing twenty-five
States, and most Of the questions that
have elected public attention, In con-
hection with agricultural interests,
were presented before this body, lis
eu,sed and acted upon. There were
great variety OF opinions, on many
points, ~ Is apparent from the decis-
i've manner In which the Congress
disposed of the questions submitted
to It. What it refused to do, and
what 1t did, Is thus cOncselys set forth
by the Inter Ocedn:
at refused TO consider the ques-
ground that these relate to the whole
country alike, and not to any partic-
nar class. 1t refused to make any
recommendation in regard to the
method to be persued In tho pur.
chase of agricultural implements,
leaving that to each Reorganization.
Ii refused To take action ON the eight
hour law, on the ground that IL had
enough to do To fight the railways,
without undertaking to antagonize
the workingmen. 1t refused to SO.
licit half-fare return tickets for mem
hers from the railways, on the ground
that their business was not To seek
f.vors from the railways, but to urge
their regulation by law. 1t refused
tn commend or ask for the passage Of
the Agricultural Land Grant Bill, on
the ground that 1t was as much Of q
4teal to bestow the public lands upon
agricultural colleges rs upon rail.
ways and private corporations. 1t
refused to pass resolutions on the
s,ihject Of the tariff, on the ground
that 1t was no part Of tho purpose of
the organization tn discuss or act up
on purely political questions.
"rhe decided MIGHT'VE given to all
these propositions show that the Con-
gress was cool-headed, practical and
b~nt on avoiding all entangling alli-
ances. Its positive action was not
less significant. It resolved that the
consolidation Of parallel lines of rail.
ways Is contrary tn public policy, and
should be prohibited by law; that ms

The journals that are 50 loudly adj

The journals that are so loudly al
yocating free trade, and demanding
q party based upon this distinctive
issue, when "put to their truinps
confess they mean nothing OF the
kind. Chicago has two morning pa
pers both protesting TO favor Tree
trade: but one announced, q few days
since. that it meant by free trade u
a revenue tariff, and the other, In an
editorial yesterday, rises to explain
as follows: "rhe abolition OF duties
on all imports is one thing, while a
tariff for revenue is another.
We have gone so far as to repeai
the duties that were purely for rev.
enue.
We suppose there is no question
that the American tariff could be
limited to less than thirty leading
articles, and yet produce all the rev.
euue that is needed" Now how is
this to be accomplished? Manifestly
by levying high duties on certain ar
ticles for which there is q large de-
rnand. If this is done is not the
robbery" still maintained? Is the
principle denounced by free trade
| journals changed because the num-
Der Of articles on which duty is laid
| is diminished?
The fact Is that the cry Of free
trade is a catch and sham-used for
the purpose Of entrapping the unwa-
nv, and infusing life into a defunct
political party. The papers making
| the cry know it is an absurdity, and
so, when it comes to the point, they
shrink from applying their principles,
and endeavOr to escape by saying
that they have been advocating, but
believe in doing precisely what is
done now, only in lesser degree.
This is the "great principle" of free
trade reduced.-Intey Ocean.

One of the last groans of Brick POM
eroy's New York Democrat was the
following:
The soul of the miserable, guilty,
Infamous wretch-this pimp of pow"
er-this Shack Nasty Bill of Grants
political Modocs, knew if justice
were done, the one who recognized
himself rs a damned scoundrel de-
served the bullet and burial i'm the
gutter. Fear lent wings to his feet.
He was "shOt i'm the neck!" Pooh!
That is nothing. His beetle-headed
master at Washington has been "shot
in the neck" q thousand times and
lived to rob; to plumber; to usurp
power; to tyrannize; to outrage lib
erty; insult the republic; league with
thieves; reward villainy; override
State laws; incite people to strife; ar
ray ignorant, brutal negroes against
lawful authorities and industrious
whites; Cypress the people and de-
mOralize what there is left of the
spirit of honesty. 1t is a pity that
Grant were not assassinated, or "shot
in the neck" for keeps, and that KEEL
lOgg, the dirty dog employed to lick
and ipflame the putrid sores Of the
Administration, had not been struck
dead by the gentleman who conden-
sed the truth and called the Grant
GOverOr Of Louisiana exactly what
he is--a damned scOundrel.
