Debate on the Frankirg Privilege.

A paragraph for the purchase of pos
tace stamps for the Treasury Depart
ment, gave rise to a discussion i'll which
the question of the restoration Of the
franking privilege came up.
Mr.. G. +. Hoar asked Mr.. Garfield If
there had teen any diminuation of the
postoffice deficit BY means of the aboli-
ton of the franking system privilege.
Mr.. Garfield said he did not know but
he believed that were it not tor that abo-
lition, the postofficc deficit would have
been greater.
Mr. Hoar-Does not the gentleman
know that the deficit has increased
Mr.. Garfield know that the deficit
has increased, but believe that the re-
peal Of the lranking privilege, has, 10 a
considerable extent, increased the reve-
nues of the postofice department; how
much l do not know. / am compelled,
however. TO say that the repeal of the
franking privilege has not been as great
a blessing, AZ believed at the time II

that We should not give it up without a

Of famine and distress, not a
fair year to judge OF reform.
Lei US give it another wears
trial; let us have one years trial with the

double vision, We can determine the ques-
tiOn.
Mr.. Kelley hoped that the paragraph
would be struck out, and the fruukIng
privilege restored. He had il not on hi:
conscience that he had ever voted for it:

knowing that whenever his vote implied

Troubles Between Foreigners and
Natives in Mexico.

SAN Francisco, December l6.-By

Superintendent of the Homiguera mines
at 'rriuuto, who had asked for the pres
rncr of "A war vessel on the ground that
the troops only awaited some excuse to
attack and sack his hacienda, had really
been accused of selling damaged flour

ed bv the Judge of the district; damaged
-four was found in his store, and the mat
ter WAS referred 10 higher court.
After the Saranacs arrival gang,
headed bv Ramon Vallide, robbed the
people of San Jose of ten thousand dol
hrs and there are rumors to the effect
that project is on foot to rob Trlunto
and Lopez. The garrison was strength
encu and additional troops placed at
the disposal of Brooks. The
next development was n dis
agreement between tho Mexican
soldier, and Brooks forces. The i'm
pending hostilties were prevented by the
intervention of Capt. Queen of the Sar-
anac. and an amicable understanding be-
tween all parties was finally reached.
The Mexican authorities claim that

The Louisiana Returning Board
Civil Rights.

New ORLEANS, December l6.-The
returning Board, after receiving another
protest from the Conservatives, which
they hoped would be the last, went into
executive session, to consider the protest
ed parishes.
The pupils Of the boys high school to-
day, refused to allow the colored boys to
enter the school house. The pupils hav-
ing been informed that the superinten-
dent could settle the question, and pre-
vent the admission of colored boys, they
appointed committee to call upon him.
The Superintendent stated that he was
only an executive officer, and that the
whole matter was IN the hands Of the
school board, and believed the board
was the general school law which
made no race distinction. He stated
that it might be that none Of the colored
boys would be able 10 pass the necessary
examination, or they might be wholly
withdrawn More than this the school
board might deem it necessary to establish
a branch school and thus dispose of the
question in u way consistent with the
views and feelings Of the pupils of the
high school.

A terrible howl Is kept up all over
the country by the Democratic and
pretended Anti-Monop and Inde.
pendent press about Radical dcfalca-
tions. The opposition affect to be.
lieve that all Radicals are thieves,
and all other men are models OF
honesty and political righteousness,
How is it where Democrats have.op-
portunity to get their fingers into the
public treasures? In six Democrat
ic counties in Ohio within the past six
months six Democratic defaulters
have been exposed, in amounts ag-
gregating $3.50, ,000-almost hall
million dollars, as follows: Butler
county, Si50,000; Henry county,
100000 Fairfield county, 100000;
Drake county, $37, ,000; Holmes coun-
ty, $4,000; Wayne county, $4,000.
$50, 900 or $4,000 in Radical Iowa is
aterrible loss, ,and of course condemns
the whole party, although it Is bal
anced by a similar defalcation in one
of our Democratic counties but
our over-honest Democratic editors
are dumb as brutes in reference to
the Democratic enlbeZzlements con-
tinually being developed wherever
that party has power to choose coun-
ty or State officials. Our friend Me-
Cormack never hears Of these litttt

as published in the citizen that only
one Of two courees Is. left for them to

the latter.
The facts Of the case are that the re-

and no truthful man Of either party
who heard it, will deny it. We
heard the speech three times and

Republicans, and only thirty-nine
Democrats. In view of these fig
ures, the attempts of the Democratic
party to sneak out of any odium at
taching to the passage of the back
salary bill is very thin indeed. A
great majority of the Democratic
members in both Houses voted for
the bill, and the records of Congress
show it. That is one of those things
