CIT is no CO alition," said Doolittle,
when glorifying over the election Olsen
ator Cameron. And he was correct, for
| Senator Cameron would not be a party to
any bargain. It was, however, q very
cheap sell-out on the part of the Reform
ers. They went to gather wool and have
| come home shOrn.
"I FEEL assured that Senator Cameron
will be faithful and true" said ex-Sena-
tor Doolittle, in his last speech here.
Well, Senator Cameron has been faith
full and true to the principles of the Re
publican party. How does the ex-
! Senator like him now? Mr.. Doolittle' s
political friends are much Disguised at
the course of the Reform members.
They think the party was sold out
cheap.-,State Journal.
SENATOR HAMLIN' 8 voice ID behalf of
| the newspaper-postage amendment has
awakened reverbration in the backwoods
of Maine and thereabouts. A Boston
newspaper mourns that the election IS
irretrievably gene; and the Springfield
Union puts the cases eloquently by
presenting the old alternative of fool or
knave. Generally, the people seem to
think that the increase was al outrage
of solid dimensions.
The ABSURD POSTAL LAw.-The fol-
lowing dispatch has been received from
Washington, and relates to the ridicul-
GUS postal law passed by the last Con-
| greSS
saIhe Postmaters- General is obliged
| to suspend the enforcement Of the law
increasing the postage on transient news
papers until April LIST, to stop the enor-
nous accumulation of partly prepaid
newspapers in all the Postoffces. Com
plants are received from Postmasters all
over the country that they have many
hundred pounds of this class OF matter
on hand"
THE official returns from the New
Hamsphire election show that, although
| the Republicans have lost two or three
| Congressman, by scratch, they have
| carried the State, elected their Cover
| nor, and have control of the Legislature,
which in that State is political fact of
first-class magnitude. This shows that
the Democratic tidal wave has stopped,
| and the flood has set in the other direc-
ton. It gives New Hamsphire to the
Republican column once more. 1t shows
that the people have lost their faith in
Democratic protestations of reform, and
that they are not determined to go back
upon themselves or to give up what they
have gained. Chicago Tribune.
The Senate spent all Of Saturday and
a great portion of Saturday night dis
cussing the resolution approving the
course of the President in regard to the
Louisian government; and the discus
sion is likely to last several days yet.
AS this Louisiana question has been
under discussion, in one form or another,
great portion Of the time for three
months past, ordinary mortals fail to
see what use there is in keeping open
the food gates of this turgid. rhetoric
any longer, at the expense of the public
treasury. If the Senators do not under
stand the question now they never will.
This talking against time during most of
the sessions is becoming an intolerable
nuisance in Congress-it is multiplied
ton of words without knowledge" and
expensive every way Wisconsin,.
Now that the Postmaster General has
been forced to suspend the new increase
of rates on transient newspapers up to
April 1, on account of the enormous ac-
emulation of unpaid newspapers at
all the post-offices in the country, could
of the next Congress 1t is universally
admitted that the provision applying to
| transient newspapers was blunder, not
intended by either branch of Congress,
and it is now found that it is utterly i'm
practicable to carry out the law in this
respect for some time to come. 1t is al
so certain that Congress will repeal this
provision at the very first opportunity.
