PARIS, May 19.-It is Count de Monte
bello, not the Duke de Montemorence, who
has sent challenge 70 Prince Metternieh.
The cause OF the challenge is the refusal of
the Princess Metternich, at ball, to return
the salutation Of Montebello.
The Moderate Right object to an imper-
sonal lsepternate because 1t would be equiv
alent to recognition Of the Republic. The
Extreme Right are determined TO oppose
Goulard, or any other chief Of ministry,
whose platform embraces the adoption of
constitutional bills. Goulard, finding no
sure support in the Left Centre or Right, is
therefore compelled to rely mainly on the
minority in the Assembly.

Election Of New bishops.

Election OF New hfsh0Ps-
NEW YORK, Nav l9.-The Council of
the Reformed Episcopal Church has voted
to hold the next annual Council in Christ's
Church, Chicago, MAJ ?, 1873. The ser
vice for the administration Of the Com
munion was reconsidered to-day, and de-
bate took place in regard 10 the words used
at the deliverance of elements. Bishop
Cheney reported from the committee a
unanimous recommendation that the rubric
and formula before delivering the
bread should be changed so as to
read athen shall the minister first re-
i've the communion bimselfand proceed 10
deliver the same to the Minister assisting,
and after that to the people, and before de-
livoring the bread he shall say TO all the
communicants then around the table 'EThe
body of our Lord Jesus Christ which was
given for Won, preserve your bodies and
souls unto everlasting life" and when he
delivereth the bread he shall say ''take
and eat this bread in remembrance Of that
Christ died for thee, and feed ON him in
thy heart by faith with thanksgiving" The
committee also recommended that the rl-
b-ic and formula before the delivering OF
the cup be so changed as to correspond
with the foregoing,
The report was unanimously adopted,
and Bishop Cheney offered a PRAYER of
thanksgiving for the harmonious result Of
the deliberations on this question.
A motion was offered that the Council
proceed to the election of another Bishop,
which caused some debate. An amend
ment to the motion was adopted, TO the
effect that the General Committee be EN-
powered to call meeting of the General
Council whenever, in their judgment, al
emergency calls for meeting of the whole
Church. That would cover The election of
Bishops or any other general business
which might occur.

LITTLE Rock, May 19.-About daylight
this morning Brooks, with a small squad of
cavalry, evacuated the State-house. No

after noon Gov. Baxter arrived in a carriage,
preceded by Gen. King White and caval-
cade. On taking possession, the big IA
FOUNDER was fired. 1t was followed by a
101 guns from the two Parrots. Intense
enthusiasm prevailed. The building was
found in very dIlapidated condition. The
desks in the two legislative halls, the SUI
preme Court room, and other rooms, had
been imp-ogised into barricades. Many of
them were broken and the utmost eonfu-
sion prevailed. The State arms were left
lying loose around the building.

POSTAGE By THE POUND.
How Newspapers would be Affected
by the Proposed Change.

The subject of newspaper postage and
the practical inconvenience Of the present
system, have lately been under discussion
with the Postal Committee of the House,
who have decided to report in favor of
radical change in the present mode Ofmail-
ing and stamping. As the matter stands at
present, newspaper postage can eitherb bel paid
at the office Of reception or delivery, and in
this way two systems are really at work,
which necessarily cOmplicates business and
causes a loss of both time and money. Under
the present system, if a paper is prepaid by
the publishers, a receipt is obtained, and
thereafter the papers will pass through the
mail without further trouble; but in case it
is not prepaid, then postage must be collect
ed at the office Of delivery, either quarterly
in advance, OF else at the regular rate as
each paper is delivered by the carrier.
IL is now proposed to abolish this plan
and charge entirely by weighs, at the rate
of two cant. . pound. Such an arrange
ment. il is said, will be no additional ex-
pense to newspaper publishers, while il
will secure to the government lis entire
revenue,
Outside OF the large cities, not more than
One-thiTd OF the newspaper postage IS ever
cOlleCieOt owing 10 the HldhuCi III WHICH,
country pOstmasters combine private busi-
ness with their duties to the Government.
Thus, country postmaster generally keeps
a small store, and if good customer is in
receipt of a newspaper, he will not often
press his claim for postage at the possible
risk of iniuri9g his other business. In this
manner, the Government suffers great loss
that cannot be well remedied. I'm
der the system proposed, the rate of
two cents per pound is so low that pub
fishers will not be taxed any more
than at present, and the trouble Of stamp
ing and preparing will b. obviated. The
bundle of papers, or in fact any printed
matter when delivered at the post office,
will be weighed, and the amount charged
against the paper, which Will be collected
quarterly as heretofore. The fact OF
paper then being in the mail will be the
best evidence tina. it is paid for, and it will
be delivered in any part OF the United
States without further charge or trouble
Or, if a newspaper does not wish to have
an account KEEP, a book Of stamps may be
retained, of which an amount equal to the
weiAht of the mail matter delivered can be
cancelled by the clerk receiving the bundles.
