No More Free Mail Matter.

On and after July LIST. subscribers will
have to pay postage on their county
papers, and all newspapers will he
obliged to pay postage gu their eX-
changes. We are inclined to think this
is right We cannot see why the peo-
pie of Waterford should receive their
CdIcdOnian through the mails free. while
those of Concord. the next town, have
to pay for theirs. Why such discrimi-
nation i'll favor of Il town separated
from others only by an imaginary line
And we do not understand why news
paper publishers should he favored with
a free use of the mails to any extent
not granted to other parties. There
fore we shall pay our twenty dollars
postage on exchanges cheerfully. and
would advise our readers to make IL
virtue of necessity and pay their twenty
cents year on their local paper with
equal equanimity.
We well understand that this thrust
at the country press was made 10y Ben
Butler and his confcres in Congress, be
cause of the clamOr of the newspapers
for the adjustment of the friuking
privilege This demand became So
loud and urgent that Congress dare not
longer turn ii deaf ear to it; So they
spitefully lcgiSlatcd to the injury of the
country press. and then c"olly voted
themselves S2,jOO apiece extra pay.
We presume there will he an effort
in the next Congress to repeal this law
against the free circulation of news
papers in their county. but whether
there is or not. we doubt if real injury
comes to any great portion of the press.
A paper that is of worth enough to exist
at all. will not he stopped by any sub
scriher because of the paltry sum of
twenty cents a year postage. Besides.
the principle is Il good one: No more
subsidies; no more land grants; no
more dead-heads; no more special priv
legcs to Congressman, or any others.
1t is really Il step i'll reform which the
people have reason to rejoice over.

SENSIBLE OEDER.-The Providence
Railroad has introduced a reform in its
cars which is worthy of imitation by
every railroad i'll the land The fol-
lowing is copy of a placard which is
put up in all passenger cars:
''PaSSengers using tobacco. or having
occasion to spit. are requested to take
seats III the smoking car. where they
can indulge themselves without being a
nuisance To the ladies and other decent
inmates of this car.
We could never see the Justice or
propriety of running Il special car for
smokers, and allowing the chewers to
leave their filth in the cars where re-
spectacle ladies and gentlemen are
obliged to tide. And the ladies of the
land. at least, will owe a debt of graft
tude to the Providence Railroad for in
augurating a reform which is so nee
essary to the comfort and cleanliness of
railroad passengers. We hope to see
the order adopted universally.

An Interview with Capt. Jack.

\ correspondent writes from Boyle's
camp. Tulc lake. an account Of an in
terview with Capt. Jack, through the
medium of an interpreter. At first he
was rcticcnt. but finally his sister Mary
prevailed on him to talk. His first re-
mark WAS in relation to his shackles.
He said it made him feel mean to be
hohhled like Il horse. He was not
afraid to die, and had no idea of run
ming away. AS he spoke his eyes snap
ped and lac looked very lion in a
rage. All questions pertaining to his
fighting he declined to answer. When
asked his age, he gave the correspond
cut to understand that he WAS &c, and
then he voluntarily begun upon Il state
mcnt of his grievances. and those of his
people, with reference to the Ben
Wright ail'raN. He said that the white
man murdered his people. Years ago,
and that what he had done was only in
payment of old debts. He did not en-
ter into details. but left the Interpreter,
"Scartaced Charley to patch up the

Stokes has one moIe chance for his

NAvIG ALTON OF THE YELLOW

Gen. Lester S. Wilson is III receipt OF q
letter of late date from G. G. Coffin, Esq.
who was out here III July and Augt,ss in tfe
Interest of The Northern Pacific Railroad. in
which he states that the Ida Stockdalc. a
light draught steamer, will start from Bis
marck on the 22d inst. with instructions to

stone. wherever that may be-" This is
encouraging and we shall look with consid-
cradle anxiety for tile results Of this trip in

use the Yellowstone in connection with the

regard to road both to this place and Hele-

ANOTHER RAILROAD.

The contemplated railroad from Cheyenne
to Montana will probably be prosecuted to a
connection with the Northern Pacific. The
route OF this road is from Cheyenne to the
Great Iron III untain, on the head waters Of
the Chugwater, thence along the eastern base
OF the Laramie Mountains to Fort Fctterman
on the North Platte. thence along the eastern
base OF tile Big Horn Mountains. ria old
Forts Reno aid Phil Kcainey to the Yellow
store, forming a junction with the Northern
Pacific near the mouth of Big Horn. This
line would furnish all outlet for the trade
within tile limits Of Wyoming. which would
rapidly flow from the Iron Mountain. the gold
and silver ores from the LARAMIE Peak region,
the large forests of timber between LARAMIE
Peak and Fort Fettennan. the oal deposits
near Fettermar, and all along the base of the
Big Horn Mountains, the best agricultural
portion OF Wyoming within the head valleys
of the Cheyenne, Powder aud Tongue rivers.
The citizens of Cheyenne are earnest i'll their
desires for railroad in the direction Of Mon
tana, so az to open up their rast resources.
The belief IL strong with them that the Big
Horn Mountains are full of gold and silver.
The building OF this read would connect Col
,,rado and Montana, for Denver is only 90
NH, rs from Cheyenne, and they have a good
ralroad between these two points. Before
long thtrse will be net work of railways
through all tile Territories, and whatever
they possess Of mineral resources will be de-
veloped. Labor md capital viii come IN 50
soon as facilities are afforded, ard prosperous
times be experienced If all our borders.
