The Postal Change.

The Baltimore Sun says In reference to the
act OF the late Congress, increasing the post
age on third class mail-matter from one cent
on two ounces, to one cent per ounce and
fractions thereof
"It appears that this highly important
piece OF Congressional legislation was tackled
upon the sundry civil service appropriation
bin In the very last hours Of the session. The
looking thing and so very small that it es-
capped the notice Of all except the designing
persons who desired that IL become law. 1t
consisted In merely striking out the words
1.-TWO ounces" from the then existing law
and inserting the word "ounce" instead
Apart from the context this amendment COW
cred TO meaning. and IL was hurriedly and
unsuspiciously enacted as law. But inno-
cent as the little 'srider' to the slndry civil
service bill seemed, Ii has actually doubled
the rate of postage on transient newspapers
magazines, books and other articles USUALLY
sent by mail, except letters anu such news
papers and magazines as are mailed by their
publishers.
The lobby technically calls this kind of
legislation 'railroading BILL Perhaps 1T
would not be parliamentary to call 10
'Swindling.' but Its title 10 the term is some
what valid in view of its deliberate decep-
ton of members OF the Congress. and of its
extOrtiEg thousands from the pockets of the
people under color Of legal fraud. Such
legislation is not justifiable under any cir
cumstanccS, but the apologists OF this par
ticular case are culpabiy absurd In urging il
as mater Of neeessit1y They say that the
disc whereas the official figures show that
in every three hundred thousand pounds of
this class of matter not more than twenty
five thousand pounds have been 'merchan-
disc And, even IL this latter were a griev-
ance, there is no manner of equity in rene
dying IL by doubling the rates of postage
upon those individuals who use the mails for
transmission of newspapers and other read
ing matter. IL Is hoped that noae of the
other bills 'railrOaded' through Congress con-
tain similar onerous and unjustifiable legis-
lation, though several of the appropriation
bills were put through in a prOmiscuous way
in the last hours of the session, without
proper knowledge. of course, OF many OF
their provisions, having been delayed by the
occupation of precious time with merest
party and mischiefm legislation"

The Springfield Mass Union says OF the
report that Gen. Butler intended To run for
Congress from he lst district OF Massachu-
sets:
"a newspaper wag started q story. last
night, that Gen. Butler was contemplating a
change of residence in Massachusetts To the
first district IN order to get into the seat made
vacant by the death OF Representative Buff
nrgton, and the report created great cOnster-
nation among Buffers opponents. The story
Il so absurd as not to require contradiction,
but Gen. Butler j. regulating ID secure the

The revival of the Thanking privilege has
made a vast amount OF extra work for the
private secretaries and clerks OF Senators
and members. The labor OF writing the sig
natures OF the latter en- various pub. docs
devolves now, az formerly, upon subordi
mates, and since the passage of the law COM
mittee clerks have been kept busy ranking
thousands Of documents, many of which
have been slowed away at the Capitol for
several years past Congressman are now
able to send them through the mails free.
and the result Is that the post Office in this
city Is ciogged with such matter, tons OF IL
being received daily.

A New Compromise Under Discussion.

New York, February 6. \ New Orleans des-
patch to the Times, dated last night says the con-
servatiyc members of the legislature have been in
session all day, discussing the compromise PROPOSE
ton. At midnight they agreed by vote of SO to
u to recognize the Kellogg government if they be
allowed to control the lower House by seating the
five member elected the 9thh of January. There
is great excitement in the city. McEncry and
Penn are of course ignored by the compromise
and their friends arc very Indignant. Dis
tuIbanccs may occur.
New Orleans, February G. In the conservative
caucus last night, the debate on the compromise
was kept up until after midnight. The PROPOSE
ton under consideration was that the conserva-
tives should have majority of about ten in the
House, and that the past action of the Kellogg
government should not be inquired into The
vote stood 80 in favor of this compromise, to n
against it. After this vote Speaker Wilt rendered
his resignation, and Governor McEnery, who was
present by courtesy said by the action of the eau
Gus it evident TO him that it was time to lower
the democratic banner and therefore he wanted to
retire.
This evening Bulletin states that the action OF
the conservatives last night on the compromise
was subsequently rescinded. The conservative
caucus tonight in considering the proposition OF
adjustment submitted by the Congressional com
mittee.
Gov Kellogg stated that he was sure the com
promise would succeed. lie would make all con-
cession to secure it. Leonard and Jeers are active
adherents to the compromise, are also sure it will
succeed. McEnery stated tonight that he was
confident his side would be successful and there

the action of the itself as fatal TO the au-

is denied by Mr.. Wilt, and the people have be-
come SO heated that any such action would GER
tany result in a serious disturbance.
The Carbondale Bank Robbery.
New York, February G. Scanton, Pa, des-
patch states that persons have been arrested on
suspicion Of being concerned in the robbery OF
tarhoGdalc Bank. The plot was concocted IN

Disastrous ConfaSration.
Hudson, February 6. 4 telegram to the Regis
ter from New Lebanon, this afternoon, states that
a large fire is raging at the shaker settlement on
Mount Lebanon. 1t commenced in the buildings
OF the Church family, in the centre of the village,
at half past two o'clock. Eight buildings had
been destroyed, the largest of which was worth
900. The whole village was threatencd.-
The authorities of Pittslicld were tclcgraphed 10
for as istance. At o'clock the fire was some
what under control 1t is feared however, that
the worst had not then hcen reached, as the wind
bowed almost gale. The Shaker village is To-
Gated on high elevation in very exposed posi-
tion-a continuous row of large buildings lining
both slider of straight street for nearly mile in
extent. 1t has no fire apparatus of any account
and but moderate supply of water Under these
circumstances fire which gains headway
cannot be but disastrous in the extreme.

The recent convention between the Unite
states and Mexico having been ratified by both
countries on the 9th of January is now proclaim
ed by the President. 1t extends until the 3lst day
of January, 1876, the joint commission for the
settlement of claims, but does not alter or extend
the time originally fixed by the convention oi
1868 for the presentation of claims to the comniss
ion. If at the expiration of that time, when the
functions OF the commissioners shall terminate,
the umpire shall not have decided all the cases re-
fcrred to hir;, he shall be allowed further period
of six months for that purpose.
Postal Changes.
The following are postal changes for the pas
week:
Post-masters appointed

Me.
Joseph W. Kent, South Exeter, Penobscot Co,
Nc.
The Louisiana members and others have re-
ceved no information that a compromise between
the conservatives and republicans in State has
been reached. They regard such an arrangement
as stated, to be impracticabe, effecting good,
and as not calculated to lead to peace.
Congressional Notes.
The ways and means committee held meeting
this afternoon on the tariff BILL but came to no
conclusion. There seems to be no doubt that the
majority Of the committee anticipate increased
revenue from spirits with an increase of tax.

ry, to-day reported bill making further provision
for accommodation of the library of Congress. 1t
authorizes the erection of fire proof building IN

ton not exceeding $4,000 volumes, as shall be des-
lgnated by this committee to remain in the capital
The new library building shall be designed and its
erection superintended by a commission consist
ing Of supervising architect of the Treasury, chair
man of the joint committee on library on the part
