Postal MATTERS. The following is q
synopsis of the changes in the Postal
laws, which went into effect on the 1st
inst: ssfs.4 sF4sss 4
I. All the newspapers are free to the
subscribers in the county in which they
are printed and published. This includes
not only weekly papers Ito which the for
mcr law was limitcd), but all periodicals
from daily to quarterly. In cities having
the carrier system, however, postage is
charged as before. feEf
2. There is now uniformity in all
matter other than letters and newspapers,
as third class, limited to four pounds, at
one cent for each two ounces or fraction
thereof. This permits the sending of any
sort Of merchandise Except liquids and
poisons) through the mails at the rate Of
one cent for each two ounces, or sixteen
cents per pound, provided the package
does not exceed four pounds in weight.
Heretofore package of such matter was
limited to twelve ounces. This is very
important regulation. twill be likely to
revolutionize the transportation of small
packages and vastly increase the number
going through the mails because of its
cheapness. 1t should be noted, however,
that such packages are at the scndcr's
risk, as they cannot be registered unless
letter postage (twenty-six cents per pound)
is paid.
The salaries of all Postmastcrs which
amounts to less than 81 900 are to be reg
ulated in this wise: They are to have all
the box rents, with commissions ON other
postal revenues at their offices at the rate
of sixty per centum on the first one hund.
red dollars or less per quarter; fifty per
ccntum on the next three hundred or less
per quarter; forty per centum on the ex-
cess above four hundred dollars per quar-
ter; the same to be ascertained and al
lowed by the Auditor in the settlement of
the quarterly accounts of such Postmas-

Is it not about time for some of the sa-
looms to haul in their horns? More drunk
en- men were visible on our streets. Mon
day, than we have seen for months before.
Unless the nuisance is abated to some cx-
tent, crusade is recommendcd.-C
sercatiue. l.s
"Abated to some ertent," indeed
What grand concession to public de-
cency and good order. The public must
understand that the interests of the Con.
sercatire's party viii not permit the alb
solute abatement of the nuisance in
question. The utmost that can be con
ceded, and this it accords magnanimously,
is that the drunkenness and strife, which
has disgraced our streets of late, must be
stopped "to some ertent."
The remedy for the nuisance, whether
it be partial or completes is not, as init
mated by our contemporary, to be found
in crusade. All that is necessary is the
enforcement of the laws, and for this the
Mayor, as the executive officer of the
city, is responsible. As of the same po
litical faith, perhaps it would not be in
appropriate for the Conservative to en-
quire of his honor why the rules for the
regulation of saloons, and the penalties
attached for violation, are not enforced
"to some e1tsnt." ssagafG

THE INsANE-The Board of Trustees
of the Insane Hospital have issued a cir
cular to County Commissioners u Insane,
calling their attention to the fact that per-
sons are frequently sent to the Hospital
who are not entitled to its privileges. OF
this class are idiotic children, insane va
grants and tramps, persons who become
insane from drink, and the harmless
chronic insane, whose friends, becoming
weary of them, send them to the asylum.
In making these suggestions, it is not the
intention of the Trustees to disparage the
judgment or honesty of commissioners,
but to ask their cooperation and assist
ance in making the asylum what it should
be-a curative institution.

Z MAN KThLED.-The eastern part of our
county was the scene of a tragedy last Sat-
urday. Robert Mccoy, one of three broth
ers who own large farms in Newton Town
ship and are well known in this city,
started from Masonville with companion
in his wagon. As it appears both men had
been drinking, and after proceeding some
distance one of the wheels of the vehicle
dropped into rut, throwing Mccoy out
upon his head, producing conclusion of
the brain and insensibility. Mccoy was
a large man, and the other man being I'M
able, in his then condition, to handle him,
sat down beside him, and for some hours
waited for help or expecting that Mccoy
would recover sufficiently to help himself.
No assistance coming, and Mccoy still re-
naming insensible, he finally managed TO
lift him into the wagon and drove home.
The wounded man fingered some hours
and partially recovered consciousness, but
finally died. ) Mccoy was a widower,
who had been twice married, leaving four
children in Pennsylvania, and four WHO
lived with him in this county 2" y i

NEW NATIONAL BANK.-Some of our
business men and capitalists, dceming the
growing business of our city and county
favorable for the enlargement of banking
facilities and the investment of capital in
that direction, have taken the preliminary
steps to establish second National bank
in this city. The permit from the Comp
troller of the Currency has been secured,
and all the capital stock, which is fixed
at $4,000, is already subscribed. A
meeting of the stockholders will be held
next week for organization and the adop-
ton of a name The bank will not prob
baly commence business until October or
November The stock holders comprise
the names of some thirty -five of our bust
ness men, farmers and capitalists
Among them we notice those of E. Ross,
C. w. Lille, J. w. Myers, s. s. Clark, j.
L. Vinegar, Thos. Scarcliff, Henry Cooke,

ASHAMED OF NoTHING.-We heard an
apt reply made the other day, by an Anti
mOnop, who was among the fiercest, and
We may add the most vulnerable of the
reformers who "cried aloud and spared
not" in last falls canvass. He met Re-
publican friend whom he had not seen for
some time, and after the usual greetings,
the latter preached the subject of politics,
saying:
"Now Uncle c. are you not asham-
ed of the late convention of your party,
and the nominations and platform made
by it?
The old gentlemen hesitated moment
and then replied
'No; RI amt ashamed of any
thing"
His interlocutor accepted this frank
avOwal as the only logical reason why
any man of sense should not be ashamed of
Bill Stones platform and the nominees
upon it.

Gas. Mr.. Frank w. Robinson, repre-
senting the Chicago Automatic Gas Co.,
is in our city for the purpose of making a
proposition to our city authorities for the
erection of gas-works here. The compa-
ny proposes that if charter is granted at
an early day, for privilege to lay mains
and pipes in the streets of this city, that
they will erect the necessary works, and
lay the mains and pipes this season, and
guarantee to furnish a good article of il
Illuminating gas for from to Al cents per
cubic foot. At the same time it is left at
the option Of the city, whether they con-
tract for street lamps or not. Mr.. Robin
son reports that the expression of our
merchants and real estate owners is so ia
vorable to the enterprise, that the COM
pany is warranted in risking it without
canvassing for subscriptions for consum-
ers of gas. The gas which it is proposed
to manufacture is combination of the
carbon gas, made from gasolcne, and hy-
drogen, and is said to be more brilliant
and lasting besides being cheaper than
coal gas. The works will cost about $12,-
