The Nevt Postal Law.

The chAnges msds ~ - Forty
Second Congress have some good
points, and some that are no. 50
good. The abolition Of the ranking

was not the legitimate use OF that
privilege that the people and the

That portion Of the law requiring
editors and publishers to pay pest.
age on all their exchanges will result
in some good, in that it will cause
editors to cut down their exchange

for any use. We think however the

Of any or all descriptions to be re-

to the frequency Of publication, q.

The Campaign.

The campaign upon which we are
entering bids fair TO be character
lied by two features, viz, tamenesa
and the weak rallying Of the Demo
cratic forces under the name OF peo
pies or anti monopoly party. Thus
far the conventions held in different
parts OF the State, and called by such
nam es as are intended to allure the
people, have failed 10 rally any
formidable strength, for the reason
that they served as forerunners Of
Democratic conventions. That Dem
ocratic conventions will be called
and held we doubt not, and we ex-
pect every such convention to fol
low the example Of the Baltimore
convention OF last year, and adopt
tue platforms and endorse the nomi.

eIsnarck's Theology.

A New York Ford correspond
cnt has had a conversation with
Prince Bismarck, who is made to
say.
"The truth is, there are not half a
dozen men In Germany on onr side
/ mean those who clearly com
prehend the real meaning of the
conflict in which we are engaged,
and in which, notwithstanding our
success thus far, / now believe we
sh.ll b, be; tr. TIE Emperor does
not understand it, and ii he did he
would change sides in q moment.
The Crown Prince, perhaps, does
understand it, but he will put HIM
self on the other side, il, indeed, he
is not already there. The fight is
the Empire against the Church. 1t
is fight OF the State, Empire, Mon
arcly or Republic against God, and
and in this fight the State will get
the worst OF it, unless it succeeds in
destroying the idea Of God aud
placing itself in His place. Men
say that they must have something
to worship. Well, then, let them
worship the State; let it be all in all;
let it take the place OF the family as
we'll as of the Deity; let it be the
Deity. In two generations, it we
had the field wholly to ourselves, we
could SO obliterate the idea OF God
and Of imaginary right bestowed on
man by Him as their Creator, that
t,csu ostitution OF the State in His
place would be effected, and the
State, as in Pagan Rome, be all in
ALL"
These words will semi thrill to
many heart, since Bismarck has re.
reiyed SO much praise from the Chris
t;an world for his faithful services in
orippling Catholicism in France,
where it had gained SO strong foot
hold. The correspondent represents
tho Prince as saying that he carried
war against the Roman Catholic
Church because it alone was formid
nksA Dsell itfs,rHlui IN ffaFPsfRHg 'fHe
conversation between himself and
Bismarck-will put new phase up
on the Franco Prussian war, which
haA been regarded in measure as
Protestantism against Catholicism,
Christianity against Popery. Tho
spirit OF the times Is toward recog-
milton OF Deity, and this position OF
Bismarck will 60 TAR to cause him to
be held in less esteem by Christian
people than they have hitherto done.
Tho correspondent further repre-
sents the Prince as saying Il have
wished to crush Rome that / might
crush Christianity"
America does not, in her constitu-
ton. recognize Deity, but it is to be
seriously hoped that no one will ever
stand at tho head of the government,
who will "worship the State" and
consent to ''let it take the place Of
The family a. well as Of the Deity

One evening | received q call
from a seedylooking individual,
who, with a sllarl, intormed me that
he had a cussed sore throat, which
he thought ought to be tended to
at once.
| examined his throat, and found
it to he very much iltiamed, gave
him the necessary medicine, and
advised him to 60 home and stay
there until his throat got well:
About two months afterward,
the same party slouched into my
Office and asked for some more Of
that air medicine, remarking that
he wanted it for a friend, and
not for himself. Having pnt up
the medicine, ! handed it 10 him,
and inquired if his throat was quite
well, wllea the fellow coolly replied:
Eyes; but that medicine you guy
me didn't do it q id bit Of good.

and that's what I want this other
