Posr OFFICE DEPARTMENT,

MANI, Austro- Hungary, Belgium, Denmark,
Egypt Spain, France, Great Britain,
Greece, Italy, Luxembourg, Norway,
the Netherlands, Portugal, Roumania,
Russia, Servia, Sweden, Switzerland and Turkey,
having been duly ratified by the United States
| on the sth Of March, 1875, and the notifications
thereof by the several contracting States having
been duly exchanged at Berne, Switzerland, on
the Sd Of May, 1876 it is hereby ordered that the
uniform rates of postage to be levied and col.
and from the whole extent of the Postal Union,
embracing the above named countries, without
distinction, shall be as follows:
A. For prepaid letters, 10 cents per Is
grammes.
B. For unpaid etters, 10 cents per Is

within the Union by sea on routes Of more than

/. AS regards the amounts to be paid for the

treaty, the United States claims for herself,
whenever the right of transit guaranteed by that
article is exercised, (even as regards her transit
lines of over $50 kilometres, and excepting only
her great overland railway lines between the
Atlantic and Pacific oceans, expressly reserved
as continuing to form the object of special ar
rangements with the post offices interested) the
minimum rate OF 2 francs per kilogramme of
letters, and 25 centimes per kilogramme of print
ed matter, etc., and is ready by increasing the
transit rates, as permitted, to francs and so
centimes respectively, to meet the wishes of
those Departments of the Union which make the

and on and after January /, 1875, on the CORE
spondence to and from France.

A Washington correspondent says: ut
is proposed that the democratic party in
Congress shall be governed by what has
been termed q "boiled-down caucus" and
"rated'' as unit on all important meas
ures. Until this caucus committee has
perfected plan Of operations, the policy
Of the democrats will be more or less
lnasterly inactivity. 1t remains to be seen
whether the new members who have pro-
tested 80 Indignantly at being put in lead
ing-strinks will stand out against this con-
densed caucus dictation. or surrender their
independence for party's sake. Perhaps
the relations Of the two parties in the
house cannot be illustrated better than
by comment on the new committee on
Ways and Means, of which a gentleman
said: "'With Blaine, Garfield, Burchard
and Kelley at the end of the Ways and
Means Committee, the tail will be pretty
apt to wag the dog"

A Mississippi correspondent ofthe Chicago In
ter. Ocean, who Is said TO be native of the State,
thinks it safe to say that fully 800 colored men
we're killed during the two months prior to the
election. He adds
There is no hope Of q republican victory in this
State ut the Presidential election. We are in the
jaws of the lion down here. Democrats are almost
unanimous for the impeachment Of Governor
Ames and this too is matter of policy. They. ap-
prehend that Ames might call on the President
for troops at next election, in which event the
State would 90 republican, to prevent which the
proper remedy will be applied by the incoming
Legislature. The policy of the democrats will
not be to drive all the leading republicans from the
State; and you of the North do not know how
easily this can be accomplished down here. Many
leading republicans have already left the State,
and others are preparing. to follow. There will
not be intelligent leaders enough to organize the
party at the next election, and the negro will be ct
the mercy Of the white liners. The colored men
will not vote at oil, or they will vote with the
lost cause Many colored people are anxious to
cmgrate to the Western Territories, and they will
do so If they get the least encouragement"

organized, and this is only the beginning
of the end. The South is moving upon the
Treasury, and, as Mr.. Lamar has been
given the control of the democratic votes,
the Northern doughfaces dare not stand in
the way of the ex-re5els. Shoals Of bills
are already pouring in. the majority of
them from the South. and nearly every one
of them involving a claim or an appropri-
alton to recompense Confederates for their
loss and trouble in resisting the Union ar
nv. On Tuesday, 233 bills were intro
duced, the majority of which were to en-
able ex-rebels to get their hands into the
Treasury and remunerate themselves for
losses incurred ir the rebellion. And this
is but the beginning Of the end, only the
few first drops before the shower, the adj
vanced guard of the grand Bourbon raid
upon the Treasury, which has been made
possible by the officiating and doughface-
ism of the Northern democracy. Of these
Northern democrats, at least sixty are
holding their seats in the House--fiye or
six from this State alone-by virtue OF re-
publican votes l(who foolishly thought the
leopard could change his spots,) and this
is the manner in which they are paying
back for the political advantages they have
secured. We hope the republicans who
helped elect them are satisfied with their
success in helping to throw the control OF
the House of Representatives into the
hands of ex-rebels and to give Confeder-
ates precedence over Union soldiers.

Of which can be put into service In two

Minister Foster has informed the Mexican al.

border must be protected from the depredations
Of Mexican thieves either by that government or
our own.
The charges and insinuations set ahoat by the
Chicago Inter Ocean regarding Secretary Bristow' i
alleged connection with certain dishonest whiskey
firms in Louisville, Ky, are not credited in the
latter city.
Speaker Kerr appears to have rather overdone
it in the marked Southern construction of his com.
mittees, even in the opinion of shrewd South
erners themselves. TIE Richmond Inquirer says
"In this, indeed we fear the Speaker has gone q
little too far"
The general bouncing" of the republican en-
ployees of the House Of Representatives, except a
few whose services cannot be dispensed with, has
made Secretary Chandler setsliate. A batch Of
the democratic clerks in the Department of the
Interior, have received notices to leave at the close
of the month, and others may have to follow.
For our part, if the General Government is to
NEEDLE with church and school at all we prefer
that it should do SO in Mr.. Blaines way, which
needlessly affronts nobodys susceptibilites while
it accomplshes all that the best friends of the
schools can desire - Tribune.
The Washington correspondent Of the Troy
Times says
ALREADY the shrewdest of the House democrats
are convinced that the anti-third term resolution
was great mistake. For a day they were de-
lighted with it, but they see now that they have
killed the goose that laid the golden eggs. The
terrible third term ghost is laid"
The Worcester Gazette (rep.) mentions as 'no
tecable feature of the recent journey of the Pres
ident and members Of Congress to Philadelphia
the extraordinary ovation to Mr.. Blaine. Except
Brstow and Hayes, Of Ohio, nearly all the gentle
men were present who have been accused Of an
ambitious longing to reside in the White House
Grant, Blaine, Morton, Jewell, Conkling and
lIartranft-and Blaine seemed to be the only mar
the people cared much to see.
The ST. Louis Globe Democrat, ever witty in
its criticisms if not always correct, says that Sen
ator Mcdonald, Of Indiana, stands firmly by the
theory that the federal government has no powers
except such as it derived from the several States
This is very good theory and was fact ninety
years ago; bat the present generation is inclined
TO believe that, as q matter Of fact, the federal
government never derived any powers from the
State Of Indiana but that the State of Indiana or
the contrary, came into existence only through the
act OF the federal government.
