Post.0slice RevennesAC Compulsory
Neusnaa.pr asnsfntsa

The annual report OF Hon. II. M, Barber
thira assistant acknowledgement, shows
that din ing the last fiscal year there were is.
sued e3s. $4,000 adhesive postage stamps,
valued at S17,275,2a5; also, 1f7.000 900
stamped envelopes, valued at S3,661 600
81, 900. 900 of postal cards, and S220,000
worth OF newspaper wrappers, some 19,000,.
900 in number. Total increase In value
over last years issue, 81 ,68S, AIS, or over
per cent. The estimate for cost of these
supplies for the fiscal year ending June 80,
1876, will be 1911 ZOO, or about S3l 900 less
than the amount appropriated for the cur
rent year.
The dead-letter Office received the past
year 460l, 1i3 letters. representing an actual
or nominal value Of 81, 631 ,423, exclusive OF
leWclrv enclosures. Letters representing of
this amount S3,90S,S6S have been returned
to their owners, and the rest are held for re-
clamation. MIR. Barber recommends that
postmaSters be supplied with indelible ink
with which to canoe! stamps, and says five
per cent, Of ali stamps sold during the year
arc washed, occasioning.a loss Of 100000
TO the department revenues.
The report describes the plan devised by
the third assistant, and approved by the Post
master.Gencral, for collecting newspaper
postage under the prepayment law, which is
TO 90 into effect next January. This system
provides, in brief, for prepayment by stamps
affixed to memorandum of mailing, or, in
other words, to a stub in book retained by
the postmaster at the mailing office, a receipt
showing the weight of the matter and
amount paid being gwen by the postmaster
to the person mailing the same; the stamps
affixed to u stub to be cancelled by cutting
pupch.
1t is expected that notwithstanding the
reduction Of rates by the new law this sys-
tenn OF compulsory prepayment of newspa-
per postage will yield larger revenue than
has ever been collected.
Comprehensive inquiry seems to warrant
4 belief that in the city OF New York alone
not less than six hundred thousand dollars
per annum will be paid-a sum which is
little less than ouc-half Of the entire revenue
from newspaper postage throughout the
United States during the last fiscal year. 1t
Is. however, impossible to estimate the actual
increase for the whole country owing TO that
provision of the law which allows free mail
circulation of newspapers in counties in
which they are printed.

The Congressional Appropriations
COMMITTEES.

WASHINGTON, November 10.-A majority
of the House Committee on Appropriations
will undoubtedly be here this week, when
the estimates of the various departments will
be distributed to individual members who
will proceed to prepare the bills committed
to their respective charge.
The Senate Committee on Appropriations
will assemble here on the 18th instant, with
the view to laying out their work and
making detailed examinations of various
features of the civil service so far as to be
prepared to act promptly upon the annual
appropriation bills as fast as they are re.
ceived from the House.
Senator Morrill,, chairman of this COM
miltee, will also devote much of the time
between now and the end of this month to
the work Of completing the draft of a new
form Of government for the District of Co.
lumba, the main features of which have
been agreed upon by the special committee
appointed last session for that purpose. The
report of this committee will be presented
at the opening Of the December session. 1t
is believed the committee will recommend
placing the affairs of the District in charge
of commissioners with strictly defined pow
ers and carefully guarded responsibility for
the various local departments which they
are to supervise.

i TOWNSHIP ASSESSOR FORCES THE NAME
OF THE COUNTY TREASURER TO TAX-REcEIPTS.
He Is ARRESTED AND EScAPEs.-A. .. Peak,
the assessor of Staunton township, OF this
county, is charged with having forged the
name Of Mr.. j. D. Blair, the county trea-
surer, to receipts for special license-taX in
several instances, and with having by means
OF these forged receipts collected from seye-
raj merchants and others in his township the
amount of the special taxes due from them.
1t seems that Peaks mode of proceeding was
that after making the assessment Of taxes, rs
was his duty under the law, he would pro-
duce an order signed with Mr.. Blair's name
for the amount of the tax, and receipt Tor
the same upon its collection. These facts
being stated to Mr.. Blair he at once denied
having given Peak any authority to collect
for him. and notified the parties who had
made payments to Peak and the collector
of the township that such receipts would
not be respected. Some of the parties in
tereS,ed then determined to have Peak ar
rested. and on Friday night last Deputy
Sheriff George s. Norman went to the house
Of Peaks father with whom he liyes),
near Hill Grove. in this county, for the
purpose of arreStn@ him. On arriving he
was very cordially welcomed by the elder
Peak and invited to spend the Night, which
be at first consented to do; but, reconsider
inc his determination, called the young
man out of the house and. informing him
of the purpose Of his visit, told him he
must take him to Jail that night. Young
Peak very readily consented, expressing
no surprise at his arrest, but asked permits
sion to step into the house for the purpose
Of getting some clothes to take with him.
His demcanor was so submissive that Sheriff
Norman mad no suspicious Of any attempt
10 escape, and readily granted the request.
Peak went into the house at the front door,
and passing through it made his exit by the
back door and escaped, and up to last ac-
counts had not been recapturcd, though we
hear that strenuous efforts are being made to
that end. We were unable TO ascertain
the amount obtained by him through his
fraudulent practice, butit is not supposed to
be very conSiderable.-Dano1Ne Netcs.
