SOLID MEN TO THE FRoNr.-The old Swiss
Guards or the rank and file of the regular
army were never better drilled in the manual
than are the negroes inthe political exercises
These colored voters-unfit as they are TO ex
ercise the right--are potent in numbers at
elections, and are always ready and willing
to obey the orders Of their white officers and
with such united mass it is easy TO foresee
that the contest for county officers in Novem-
Der next, will be no mean and spiritless one.
The drill has already begun in this county and
will be kept up until the close Of the campaign.
The hopes of the radicals for success are based
upon unity in their own strength and division
lathe democratic ranks. This latter can be
obviaieG and the schemes frustrated if the solid
men will come to the front and take measures
to harmonic the democratic party by laying
upon the altar of their country all differences
of opinion and making concessions for the good
of the whole. Without this there may be sucl
a scramble for the Offices as will produce re
suits which are not anticipated. "a word t.
the wise is sufficient"

THE New POSTAGE LAw.-The new postage
law which has just passed the House--t has
not yet passed the Senate--wil work griev-
GUS hardship upon the country press. The new
law requires the prepayment of postage upon
all newspapers at the Office where published
except TO subscribers within the county. This
will make the publisher pay postage on every
paper sent out of his county or Slate, and will
add that much to the cost of publication, or
diminish the circulation to some extent. 1t
was thus passed, il is said 10 punish the press
for its advocacy of the.aboltion of the frank
ing privilege. The press never did advocate
the abolition of the frank, but they have spo-
ken against its abuse, and deserve better re-
ward for so doing. 1t must be remembered
that the abolition of the frank constituted q
plank in the Radical platform, and whether
that party intended to stand upon it or not,
their representatives have taken good care to
make up for any losses that might accrue to
them upon its abolition, to add 50, 600 TO their
own pay, but the publisher of paper must
take care of himself, It's a good thing that
the new law makes the Radical publisher
scratch as well as his opponent. The law, if
it passes the Senate, will not so into effect be-
fore the 1st of July next.
