Constitutionality Of the New Postal

NEW YORK, July ia case in
volving the constitu,ionafiry of the
amended postage law has been
brought in the U: S. circuit court for
this district. a gentleman offered a
book for mail transmission to toff'thiiffa thifa=
delphia from this city, postage at old
rates being offered. Being refused he
applies fora mandamus tocompel the
postmaster to receive the. packages.
The argument Of ofthc'applicant is that
sundry civil appropriation bills into
which the amendment increasing the
rate on third-class mail matter<was in
serted, was not bill for revenue
that the amendment did provide Ways
and means for raising revenue; that
the senate has no constitutional author
ity to originate measures for that pur-
pose, that being the sole prerogative
Of the house, and that the postal
amendment having originated with
the senate and grated on the bill
was not one for revenue purposes, and
is unconstitutional.

General Frank Blair, after being
bed.riddcn FOR more than two years,
expired last night at IL 80 p. m. at
his residence in this city. Oscr two
wears ago>hc sustained shock of par
alysis, whichS forced him to retire
from public life, and made him a con-
firmcd invalid. After his paralytic
attack, he also became afflicted with
soitening Of the brain, andS,hc decline
in his mental vigor was quite mani
fest. He had not been able to speak
since last fall. Three months ago, as,
a last resort, the operation Of trans
fusion OF blood was performed on him
The operation was performed by Drs.
Franklin and Farrar, wcll.known ply
sicians Of this city. Two ounces OF
blood were drawn from the arm of a
strong, healthy man, aud transfused
into the veins of the General. This
operation was repeated three times,
the last being about seven weeks ago.
The treatment seemed to improve him
to some extent, and his physicians an
nounced that they had strong hopes
that he would eventually fully recover.
His intimate friends, however, who
knew the latent cause Of the malady,
knew that it was a distemper beyond
the power Of medicinal skill.
His family were always hopeful.

Territory IL a Paradise.

WELD COUNTY COL. July Z, 1875.
Tothe Editor ofthe Inter Ocean.
There is of late SO much said con-
cerning this territory, and SO much
immigration hither. that some Of your
readers may be interested in the
views Of former resident OF the
Rock River valley, in your state, aud
for some years resident Of Colorado,
regarding its desirability as place
of residence. These | will proceed to
give, believing myself to be neither
prejudiccd against it, nor Of those
who think it is the only place to
live.
First, it has, beyond dispute, u very
healthy climate, the air is light and
dry, and entirely free from all nias-
matte qualities. In cases of asthma
the air is undoubtedly a specific RENE
dy, giving relief in almost every case,
while in tubercular diseases it fre.
quently proves beneficial where the
disorder is not too far advanced, and
for general debility the air seems to
afford stimulus favorable for recov.
cry.
But let no one come here expecting
to find perpetual warm and pleasant
weather. We arc pretty sure to have
in winter two or three cold snaps ol
from two days to two weeks dura
tion, quite US severe US any, that you
have in Illinois, while from Nov. l to
May 1 very high winds prevail on al
average nearly two.thirds !, Of the
time, sometimes blowing fearfully
yet, owing to the dryness Of the air
they are more disagreeable than in
furious. The rainfall is exceeding
small, April and May often giving
two or three rain storms; June and
July frequent afternoon showers
though this season we have had bu
one shower, and no rain storm since
May. !.

BISMA ARCK CONFRONTING HIS ENE-

gray eyes flashed, and his heavy mus

ate grasp of his sinewy hands, ana ever
and anon his closely-buttoned uniform
became tense almost to splitting across
his huge chest, as he set back his
shoulders and threw up his head, re-
garding his foes with that implacable
glance which never fails to shake the
strongest nerves. when he darts it at an
object of his hatred or contempt. In
the course of an experience neither
brief nor ordinary, have seen many
remarkable men at moments when they
have been expected to labor under ex-

the consciousness of unbounded power
expressed in the physique and bearing
of human being as 1 saw it in Prince
Bismarck. AS he stood forward facing
the House, the natural sternness of his
aspect accented by the natural rigidity
of his military tournure, he looked to me
like the incarnation of an ungovernable
will like colossus, unquestionably
capable of bearing upon his mighty
shoulders cares and responsibilities that
would crush common mortal into pow
