IL is proposed in bill now before
Congress to remove one OF the minor
aunoyauces connected with the trans-
mission OF transient printed matter in
tie mails. The impulse is always
strong, when g person is sending pa
per or magazine to a friend to place
bis or her name or initials on the doc
uments so DISPATCHED; but this has
been b ED TO he sort Of peCcadillo-
an infringement upon the postal laws,
though it has seldom occurred that q
postmaster has been found iilllputlan
enough to enforce it. The law subjects
any paper or magazine go written upon
TO letter postage-which makes such
mail matter very costly 10 the receiver.
But the bill now before the House pros
yjdes that it shall be lawful for any per-
son sending paper or magazine In the
mails to write his name or initials, or q
brief form OF presentation upon 1t
without adding anything to its postage
as printed matter. This is a very sem
eible proposition, and we trust it may
find favor with both Houses and be-
come law.

We publish this morning correcI
COPY of the act amending the city char
ter in relation TO paving or maCadamIz"
ing the streets and alleys. 1t provides
in brief that the owners OF lots on streets
already paved shall pay into 1.-THE
street pavement fund" two' thirds oil
the value @. the cobble stone pavement
adjoining their property. This is to
he paid in four equal annual
instalments, beginning on the first OF
next September Dat OF the iund thus
created the city is 10 pay oue-thlrd Of
the cost of paving or macsdamizng
any street or alley, upon petition OF a
majority OF the property-holders on
such street, they, the lot owners, pay
ing the other twosthirds ard designat-
ing whether they desire to have the
street paved with cobble stones or mere-
~ macadamized.
1t seems 10 US that this Is about as
fair aud practicable a solution OF the
pavement question as can be arrived al
The paving already done has been &C
complished at the expense Of the gener'
al treasury Of the city, and # is no more
than right that those whose property
has been greatly enhanced in value
thereby should contribute just proper
ton OF the money necessary to make
GOOD streets in other localities. The
provision for distributing over Tour years
the burden OF these expenses will ena'
ble the properly owners to comply with
the set with comparative ease.

Natures Catharlic.

Nomedicine is needed to keep the bowels
in order as long as natures caihartic, the
bile, flows freely and regularly from its
source in the liver, and is OF the right
strength and quality. But the great hillary
gland is easily disordered, and the conse-
Guences OF its irregularities are serious. To
bring Ii back TO It's natural conditionw hen
thus affected, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
should be taken ut least twice day until
the desired object is attained. Consupat on
is due to 4 scant supply OF bile, or ta lack
Of The stimulating cement in that fluid. In
either case mere purgatiop is useless. The
liver must be compelled to yield the supply
OF bile necessary to remove the waste mat
ter from the SYSTEM at least orce in twenty
four hours before a radical cure OF costlve-
ness can be accomplished. HoStetter's Bit
tiers produces this effect. Its action upon
the stomach and liver is direct and salptary
and through these organs il regulates and
lnVisorstes the whole frame.

THE CHANCELLORSHIP.
IL is the Cause Of All the Row in the
BIack-and.Tan Ranks.

The situation in the Radical camp re-
mains unchanged. No nominations were
made by the Executive Committee at the
meeting Monday night, reports 10 the con-
trary Notwithstanding.
Bv diIigent inquiry yesterday, a UNION
AND AMERICAN reporter discovered the
real cause Of the division in the Republic
can party in Davidson to be this: Dillin
has been working 10 secure the nOmina-
ton Of McCIain As Chancellor, with an eye
on the position Of Clerk and Master, for
himself, while kercheyal las devoted all
his time and energies TO bringing about
the nomination of Brien, knowing that his
own appointment TO the office Of Clerk and
Master would follow BIien'S election in the
course of time.
Thus have these patriots toiled in their
own private interests, and now that they
have succeeded in completely demOTaliz-
ing the party without either having accom-
plishea his object, their hearts are filed
with bitterness and gloom. IL is another
Hilkenney "a; unpleaSanmeSs.
