postage shall be charged at the fol-
lowing rates: Newspapers and
periodical publications issued week

those issued less frequently than
once a week three cents for each
pound or fraction thereof. On re-

by special adhesive stamps. News
papers, one copy TO each actual

the mails, but the same shall not be
delivered at letter carrier offices or
distributed by carriers unless the
postage is paid thereon as by law

not because we emagine woman's
happiness consists in electioneering,
office, or making aud
administering law, but because we
believe her influence and voice
would at the ballot box as every
where else, be on the side of right
and justice. AL admit that woman
has done much toward the eleva-
ton of society, the extention of
knowledge, the introduction of re-
form, and the upholding of pure
christian religion, and although
there are many of the sex whose in
fluence has been opposed 10 these,
vet we know that as whole wom-
ans influence is for good, and we
have no good reason to doubt her
disposition to exert like influence
at the ballot box.
Reason would dictate that those
possessing intelligence, honor, pat
rotism and judgment are best
qualified TO make, and execute laws
for the government of a nation.
And as we know Of no class that
possesses these qualifications TO a
greater degree than woman, we
hope 10 see them invested with
that right, and trust that they will
exercise il not so much for their
own as for our nations good.-Td-

Congress and Finance.

Whatever else may be certain or
uncertain about the action of Con-
gress it may be regarded as out
side the range of probabilities that
it will do any satisfactory work in
regard to finance. There is in both
Houses large majority in favor of
imitation, and nothing but the fear
of the Presidential veto prevents
the adoption of measures as wildly
expansive as Morton, Ferry or Lo-
gan could wish. The talk of a
compromise means only that an eff
fort will be made to secure all the
imitation that can by any possibility
pass the President, and not that
any endeavor will be made to har-
monize the views of the contend
ing parties. This is shown by the
constitution of the conference COM
mittee. Only one member of that
committee is opposed to imitation,
while all the others are strongly in
favor of it. If the majority of the
committee modify their views at all
it will not be for the purpose OF
conceding anything to the minor
ity. 1t would, indeed, be absurd
to expect them to do so. They
represent the majority of both
Houses, and the professed object OF
their appointment is to suggest
some measure upon which both
Houses can agree. In their present
temper, however, both Houses can
not agree upon any measure which
has about it the faintest flavor oil
contraction, or the most infinites
imal leaning toward resumption.
The compromise, therefore, If any
be effected, is to be, as we have in
timated, one of Congress with the
President and not of the imitation
lists with their opponents; and it is
hardly possible to believe, in the
light of what has already been
done with the finance question,
that any such compromise will be
effected. IL the measure proposed
by the conference committee con-
cedes too much to secure Presiden-
tial approval Congress will not pass
it il it comedies too little it will
be We toed.
There is one step, however, which
Congress can take in this matter OF
finance without any reference to
compromise either between the
Senate and House OF between Con-
gress and the President. II can
determine and fix in clear and un-
ambiguous terms the amount Of the
legal tender circulation. The
doubt, perplcxity and uncertainty
occasioned by the trifing Of Con-
gress with the finance question are
unquestionably very great; but
they are not to be compared, so far
as their injurious effects upon the
business of the community are con-
cerned, with the uncertainty which
now exists, and has for long time
existed, whether the legal tender
circulation Is $3.50, 000, 900 or s400,-
OOO, 600, or some sum between the

The Detroit Post remarks that
in order to make the civil rights bill
effective, additional legislation will
be needed. The general govern
ment will have to take the public
schools in the South under its con-
troll. We do not see how Con-
gress can assume control Of the
public schools in one State without
assuming control in oil the States.
We do not think that the people OF
Michigan, for instance, are prepar,
ed to surrender the control of their
common schools to Congress and
have teachers and superintendent
as necessary corollary, appointed
by the general government. Per.
haps such legislation may be
constitutional, but we doubt it.

two. We have commented so often
upon the evils consequent upon the
extraordinary power claimed by
Boutwell, and Richardson aud con-
coded by the President, that 1t can
not be necessary to again point out
how monstrous that power is. The
mere statement of the claim that a
single individual shall at his own
discretion contract or expand the
currency of the country by mil
lions of dollars is sufficient TO con-
denim il.
There ought to be no unwilling
ness on the part of Congress to
take hold of this matter, whatever
it NAV do on the general subject OF
imitation. There may be some diff
ference of opinion between infia-
tionists and there opponents as TO
what the proper limits is. The
former would undoubtedly demand
that it be fixed at s400, 100000,
the utmost which the law as it now
stands will permit; the latter
might possibly insist upon the low
est limit of 1856, 600, 900, though it
is more likely that they would
accept of $685., 100000, the amount
now in circulation; but upon the
point that il should fixed, and be-
yond the caprice of any single
government official, all would
agree for il Is part OF all the
theories, even of that defended by
Morton, that the currency should
have stability.
Nor would the establishment Of
an absolute limit of necessity per-
GLIDE The authorizing of reserve"
if that should be demanded. We
have never been able TO believe
that a reserve is necessary, and the
argument advanced in its favor
that il is needed TO redeem the
postal currency-does not strength
en- belief in it. But if Congress
deems a reserve important, let a
reserve be authorized; but in the !
name of all financial soundness and |
stability let the mode and manner
Of its use be defined with such dis
tinctness as will prevent its being
a reserve one day and whatever
the Secretary of the Treasury
shall choose TO call it the next
Free Press.
