A CASE involving the constitutionality
of the amended postal law has been
brought in the United States Circuit
Court in New York. A gentleman Of
fered a book for mail transmission to
Philadelphia from New York city, post
age at the old rates being affixed. The
book being refused, he applied for a
mdnddmus To compel the postmaster to
receive the package. The argument of
the applicant is that the sundry civil
appropriation bill, into which the amend
ment increasing the rate on third-class
mail matter was inserted, was not bill
for raising the revenue that the amend
ment did provide ways and means for
raising the revenue; that the Senate has
no constitutional authority To originate
measures for that purpose, that~being
the sole prerogative of the House, and
that the postal amendment, having orig
mated with the Senate, and been grated
on bill which was not one for revenue
purposes, is unconstitutional.

From fhc West.

An important decision has just been made
y the Supreme Court Of Dakota Territory
on an Indian question. Under the law Of
Congress Of 1864, parties were liable to pun.
ishment for selling liquor 10 Indians,
whether on or of their reservation. The
compilers Of the United States Statutes, In
section 2, i39, changed the language so as to
make IL doubtful whether liable anywhere,
except ON the Indian res-rvation. Judge
sh aron, in the United States District Court,
on habeas corpus case, having held parties
liable for giving whisky To Indians away
from their reservation, an appeal was taken
to the Supreme Court, which unanimously
affirmed his decision.

WILD OATS.
PROSPECTUS FOR 1875.
Champion american Comic Paper

Illustrated by corps of the best Ameri-
can artists, and contributed to by the
most popular humorists aud satirists of
the day.
Wild Oats now enters successfully up
on the sixth year Of its existence, and
has become the established humorous and
satirical paper of the country. It was
started and continued the first year as a
monthly, then, to satisfy the demand of
the public, it was changed to fortnig ht.
~. Still continuing its good work of
hitting folly as it flies, and showing up
the political and social shams by its
masterly cartoons and pungent editorials,
it achieved even greater success than
before, and was recognized as the ablest
and brightest Of it's class. Since then we
Lave yielded still further to the public
demand, and now publish Wild Oats
weekly! 1t has literally grown into it's
present shape o. its intrinsic merits, be-
ing the first successful weekly humorous
paper ever published in this country.
Among the artists especially engaged
to furnish illustrations for Wild Oats are
Frank Bellew, Thomas Worth, Hopkins,
Wales, Shelton, Wolf, Jump, Keottels,
Stuckhardt, Day, Poland, and several
others who are yet known to fame.
In its literary departments Wild Oats
will, as it always has, stand alone and
unapproachable. At least one first-class
serial story will always be found in its
pages, by the best humorous, satirical,
and character writer's in tho United
States; while it's sketches and squibs
will be sparkling, original and pointed.
Wild Oats will be first-class in every
particular, and on this account may be
taken into the best families without fear
or suspicion, as no word or illustration
will appear that can offend the most fas-
tidiOus.
