Remember the sign of the Buffalo Head Sawyers Block

the act of March 8 1875 as has been
construed to cover postage on printed
matter. Starkwcathcr said he had q
bill prepared by the postofiicc depart.
ment which he desired to offer as
substitute. 1t provides that postage
shall be charged on pamphlets, tran.
sient newspapers, handbills, posters,
unsealed circulars, prospectuses, proof
sheets and corrected proof sheets, at
the rate of one cent for every two
ounces or fraction thereof,
and that postage on all
mailablc matter Of the third class
shall remain as now provided by law.
Holman said he had no doubt the
measure was exactly correct, but it
was very important measure. and
should receive due consideration. He
would not therefore withdraw his mo.
tion to adjourn. McDougall said he
would accept Starkweathcr's bill as q
substitute for his own. Holman
thought that the bill was perhaps a
little too broad in its provisions, and
that proper time should be taken for
its due consideration. Starkweathe,
said his bill had been prepared at the
II. o. department ought to be con
sidcred Immediately.

this court was bound to believe in

Col. Babcock's reputation had been
assailed by certain statements made

having telegraphed, asking . hearing,

as was his right, for military court,
which was granted. Now, however,
