THr POSTAL BILL.-The House of Re-
personalities has passed new Postal Bill
which reduces letter postage to two cents
for each BALI ounce, the rate fer drop let
ters being the same, to take effect after Ia
ly 1st, 1873. Provision IS made for postal
cards, oue cen: which viii probably take
the place of drop letters. Tire bill requires
prepayment of newspaper postage on end
after January lsf, 1874, except on week
lies, which have free circulation within the
counties Of publication.
A resolution has been introduced into
the Legislature calling upon the Maine del
egation in Congress 10 uso their influence
against the passage Of such law, roquir.
ing prepayment of postage on newspapers
at the Office of publication. The Ciucin-
natl Enquirer announces its fixed dotermi-
nation 10 recommend no man for Office who
votes for or supports the bill We believe
that the press will generally second this
determination. We have, says tho Wheel
ing Register, examined the Congressional
Globe in relation to the matter, ard fud
that the yeas and nays are not recorded
upon the passage of the bill by the House
The omission was doubtless Intentional aud
designed to enable the members to dodge
responsibility, but there is s,ill a chance
for putting them openly on the record, aud
we trust that the Senate will so far favor
the press of the country as to enable US to
sec who our enemies are.

ES' On Wednesday of last week in the

of Louisiana, Georgia and Arkansas, were
CURING to some intormality IN hc returns,

WILSON Of their election to the Presidency
and Vico-Presidency of the United States.
In regard 10 our electoral Law" a
Washington correspondent Of the Philadel.
phia Iaq"iycr, after witnessing, on the
above occasion tho counting of the Elec-
toral vote, says: "The imperfect and
irregular returns from the several State
Electoral Colleges to-day made plain how
easy 1t is to get up an issue upon the le
gality Of the election of President and Vice
President, which, in a closely contested
election hereafter may lead to question
OF legality of election, in which the unsuc
cessful party may refuse to submit to the
result, and civil war be the outcropping
OF bitter Presidential canvass. So plain
Is the injutisce and uncertainty of the L.
lectoral College system that the movement
TO require an election to be had only upon
popular and direct vote received quite an
impetus.

city, Of the details of fraud which be had
organized and carried out in New York
city, by means of which Henry Clay, who
had legally carried New York State, vas
deprived of the vote Of that State in the
Electoral College, and thereby lost the
Presidency, and that this fact is probably
now susceptible of proof, even at this late
day. The proceedings in the House drew
quite an audience, but proving of go little
interest the galleries soon thinned out, and
before the close were entirely deserted"

to December 81 the shipment at that sta

lo-meat, 10000 pounds. These figures
do not include the many buffaloes shot by
sportsmen in warm weather, nor those slain
for food by frontier residents; and, al.
though they show a slaughter Of over 49,
600 IN little over three months, they are
considerably less than they would have
been had not the prevalence of the horse
disease seriously hiudered the transporta-
