The New Postal Law.

The third section of the
postal appropriation act of last
session, repeals all laws per-
mitting the transmission by
mail OF any free matter what
ever from and after June 30th.
Under this law quarterly pre-
payments of postage will be
required on all newspaper ex-
changes and country newspa-
pers, the same as now, and will
be then required in the case
of all mail subscriptions, name
ly, five cents per quarter for
weekly newspapers, thirty
cents per quarter for papers
published six times per week
and thirty-five cents per quar-
ter for dialy papres. Prepay,
ment per quarter or per year

Speaking of the recent pro-
of Lieut.. Fred. Grant,
the Army and Navy Journal
says: "There is little profit in
criticising injustice for which
there is no remedy, but it is
not well to disguise the fact
that great dissatisfaction has
been created by the appiout=
ment ola young scond- d-lieuten-
ant of infantry just from dthe
military academy, to the posi-
ton of aid-de-camp on the
staff of the acknowledgement,
in place of officers whose SER
vices and experience so much
better entitle them to such q
position" l.EsS-G " ..Eo

Here is another illustration
of the dangers attending the
use of tobacco. On a train
between Pantucket and Taun-
ton, a brakeman threw a quid
of the vile weed at an express
agent, and the latter resented
the affront by shooting a bag
gage master. This is a case of
the indirect effects of tobacco,
to be sure, but so far as the bag
gage master is concerned there
seems to be no doubt that il is
highly injurious. -7yL.I1

The Negro and the Administration.

The Negro and the Administration.
From the Missouri Republican,
tits a strange fact that, after
a four years war of which he
was the remote cause, ,and eight
years violent legislation in
tended almost solely for his
benefit, the negro continues to
be a disturbing element in our
politics. AT times he disap-
pears from the view of the peo-
pie who live in the North, and
the Republican journals ofthat
region begin to treat us to sol
emn and stilted congratula-
tions on the administrations
wise solution of the race prob
lem, when events like the re-
cent butchery in Grant parish,
Louisiana, occur to dissipate
the congratulations to the four
winds. ..rr& ur = -
The negro himself is not to
blame for his quality as a con-
tinued disturbing element. 1t
is not his fault entirely that he
is the occasion and instrument
ofthe calanitous disquiet that
peryades the society ofseveral
IF the Southern states. The
utter absence Of race quarrels
In; Missouri, Virginia, Tennes-
see, Maryland and North Car
olina show that whites and ne,
groes CAN live together without
strife; and the remarkable Gls'
appearance of quarreis be
tween them in Texas, since the
whites became the governing
power in that state six months
ago, assists us to understand
what are the causes of strife,
and what must be the condi-
tons of peace between them
What we see in Louisiana

Too tender and frail,
For the keen blast
The pitiless gale.
Whisper it gently,

Gentle words rarely
Are spoken in vain; -

The stubborn may move
Noble the conquest
Aided by love.
Whisper it kindly, Z

Wandered astray? .'.

Cause Of Hard Times.
From the Kansas City Times. /

From the Kansas City Times.
The Taxes are enormous,
says everybody, and what
would happen to US if there
should be, even for one year, a
partial failure of the crops 2
That the prevailing hardtimes
and depression are not.the re-
suit ofpoverty, is an admitted
fact, but of bad legislation
legislation that stimulates the
worst species of speculation,
and then endeavors to escape
its consequences; that foolish
ly hopes to pay debts without
an honest collection of the rev.
enue; that looks upon the re-
newal of a note as the pay
ment of a debt; and that is
ready to subsidize enterprises
of a doubtful character, when
the money is urgently needed
for the liquidation ofmaturing
obligations.
What the country impera-
lively demands is an HONEST
administration of the govern
ment. The lavish yearly ex-
penditures, since the close of
the war, of millions upon mil
lions of dollars for objects in
many cases worse than super
fious, has been most demoral-
izing in its influence upon
every department. of govern,
ment, and damaging in a fatal
degree to the national credit
and ought not therefore to be
imposed longer upon a. tax,
ridden people. Reputation il
a fearful word at all times and
under all circumstances, but il
has been repeated often of late
and found to possess many
remedies not heretofore dream
ed of. As things are going now
it cannot be otherwise than {
mere question of time as tt
when this omnious word will
creep into party platforms de
spite every effort made by th'
interested to keep it out.

be witnessed In the negro leg
islatures of some Southern
we would have Grant
parish massacres in this State,
too, and there are few Repub-
licans who would not take part
inthem. The same thing would
take place in Vermont, or New
Hampshire, or any other North
ern State, if some arbitrary
outside power were lawlessly
holding its educated and prop
erty-holding classes in aforced
subsection, while the most ig-
norant and depraved class
were rioting over their heads,
and on their substance. Mod
ern history might be searched
in vain for a more clumsy,
stupid and unreasonable poll
cy than that which has mark
ed the present administrations
treatment of the races in some
of the Southern States. The
whole object of it is to keep
the whites down and the ne
groes up, the negroes being as
incapable of keeping them
selves up as the whites are of
being content to remain down,
If there is peace and order in
Virginia, Tennessee and Texas,
it is simply because the hub
bub between the races in these
! States was permitted to sub,
side in its own natural way
the nsgroes sinking like a mass
of lead to the bottom, and the
more buoyant element rising
to the top-a relation which
the unambitious negro is a:
well satisfied with as the gov,
erning white man. If there is
not peace in Louisiana, it is be
cause the whole power of the
United States government ha:
been exerted to produce an6
maintain the very opposite re
lation-the negroes in an i'm
possible ascendency, and tht
whites in an impossible subor
dination. The fruits Of thit
policy are the Ku-kluX dra
goonades in South Carolina
the barbaric orgies in the leg
islatures of Florida and Mis-
sissippi, the civil war in Loui
siana, andthe forty millions o
fraudulent debt, certain to b
repudiated, in the South. TIL
administration is as clearl,
responsible for all this mischie

work as tits that of the negroe
who have acted in its nam
and by warrant of its power

} evils comes to be made, tn
administrator will have to b
the chief respondent.

We are told of the death of
an American named Roberts,
in London, leaving a fortune
of 100000. When his father
set him up in the secondhand
clothing business, in which he
made bis money, ne was advis-
ed by that father "never to let
his expenses exceed IS Sd per
week." He adhered to the
advice, and on one of his last
struggles was an attempt in his
sepenty-second year to live on
a diet of horse chestnuts. 8 1t

Position Of Hon. ]. ". Mcdonald
From the Minden Democrat
Sn-nfa, Man@--1l L.

From the Minden Democrat
Senator Mcdonald has made
no secret OF his position before
or since his return home. He
stated very plainly in a speech
at the Tax Resisters meeting
March 29th inst, last, that he
was in favor of settlement of
our Louisiana troubles by a
compromise, but that he was
not in favor of paying taxes to
this government as it now
stands. He was in favor of
compromise, because he believ-
ed that was the easiest, best
and only way this Louisiana
embroglio could be settled ex-
cept by revolution, to which he
was certainly opposed. -~..
The basis of the compromise
was that proposed by Kellogg
to the Fusion caucus just prior
to the adjournment of the Leg
islature in March last, by which
forty-six Fusion Representa-
tives and fourteen Senators
were to be seated. The propo-
sition further indicated the
names of the persons to be
seated, and it is claimed that
among the number were in
cluded the major part of the
North Louisiana delegation in
the Fusion Legislature. In
addition to this the General
Assembly, thus organized were
to be pledged to reform aud
good government and the puO-
lie patronage to be controlled
by the Representatives in the
respective parishes. Senator
, Mcdonald has continuously
and at all times during the
session of the General Assem-.
: bly, and since, favored a com,
promise, and the acceptance
ofthe terms proposed and which
| we have stated substantially
as We understand them. Ht
faEors this simply as a deniei
resort and which in his opinion
| is the only means of ayertins
the evils impending, and o
restoring quiet, order ant
, confidence to our much dis
: tracted and excited country.
