The frankinr privil,pei, was. no

The franking privilege was, no
doubt, very frequently employed to an
excessive degree, and its repeal was
one of the hobbies of Horace Greeley,
and Of Postmaster General Cresswell.
Suspicious were entertained that much
that was said against it was manufac-
tured thunder, and not practical sense.
We called attention to the fact, when
Mr.. Cresswell's report was issued, that
the figures did not show the promised
saving in expense. The estimates for
the current year, on the contrary,
show an increase Of some $4,000, 900
over the outlay of last year. The
House has determined, in view Of these
facts, to repeal the more rigid features
of the bill of last session, and thus re.
store the franking privilege in part,
but guarding it against the abuses
which previously existed. This is
proper and right.-Er. iss @

We learn that on February 18th,
the-body of Patrick Long, an Irish.
man bylbirth, wasfound in the Mo.
shannon, underneath the bridge which
spans that creek, Mt Osceola.A From
the facts elected at the inquest, it is
evident. that he was foully dealt with
on the hight previous, and was thrown
over the end of the bridge iEto the
creek, by the perpetrator Of the horri-
BILE deed; That he was murdered, is
evident, from the fact that his skull on
the back of the head was broken in
with some heavy and dull weapon. As
to who committed the deed, nothing is
positively known as yet, but two, men
have been arrested on suspicion of be-.
ing the parties-one of whom had n

How Mules Game tnto Fashion.

Few of the farmers in this country
are aware what u depth of gratitude
they owe George Washington for the
Introduction Of mules into general use
for farm purposes,
few, and those Of such an inferior or
der MS TO prejudice farmers against
them as unfit to compete with horses
in work upon the road or farm. Con-
sequentlY there We're no lacks, and no
disposition to increase the stock ; but
Washington became convinced that
the introduction OF mules generally
among southern planters would prove
to them II blessing, as they are less Iia~
bic to disease, and longer lived, and
work upon shorter feed, and are much
less liable to be injured than horses by
careless servants.
As soon as it became known abroad
that ,he ilustrlous Washington de-
sired to stock his Mount Vernon estate
with mules, the king of Spain sent
him jack and two iennets from the
royal stables, and Lafayette sent an
other jack and two jennets from the
island of Malta.
The first was Il gray color, sixteen
hands high, heavily made, aud of
sluggish nature. He was named the
Royal Gift. The other was called the
Knight of Malta; he was about as high

The two different sets OF animals
gave him the most favorable opportu-
nifty Of making Improvements by cross
breeding, the result of which was the
favorte jack, Compound, because he
partook of the best points in both the
originals.
The general bred his booded mares
to these jacks, even taking those from
his family coach for That parpose, and
produced such superb mules that the
country was all agog to breed some OF
the sort, and they soon became quite
common. This was the origin of the
improved mules in the United States.
There are now some Of the third and
fourth generation of Knight Of Malta
and Royal Gift to be found in Virginia,
and the great benefits arising from
their production to the country are to
be seen upon every cultivated acre in
the southern states.
