TuE NdShrWe Bulletin, a Republican

but Is against it because it thinks the

JOURNALIST says this editor, mot sc
much to mould public opinion as 10 fol

thinks ought to be done, as to tell them
what other people are doing" Then the
mission of the newspaper is much lower
than We had supposed. We think he
ought To have opinions of his own, and
not br afraid to express them. There is no
question but that the dog law, iF carried
out, would prove a great blessing to tho
State, hut 1t is SO much against the senti-

moro than likely that they will demand
its repeal If they do repeal it, that will
he their right and privilege, for they are
the real rulers and have the right to say
what laws shall be enacted, and what
shall not, And yet that will not change
the opinion of many good men that it is
a bcuchccnt law, and one that would re-
dound to the prosperity and happiness
of tn" people. Shcep-raisiug will be a

An Important Postal Order.

An Important Postal Order.
The following important order was signed by
the Postmaster General yesterday, and will be
issued by circular to all Postmasters tomorrow
PosT OFFICE DEPARTMENT.,
Washington, May 8, 1875.
The treaty concerning the formation of Gen.
eral Postal Union, concluded at Berne, Oct. 9,
1874, between the United States of America, Ger
man., 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 9Th Of March, 1875, and the Publications
thereof by the several contracting States having
been duly exchanged at Berne. Switzerland, on
the Sd of May, 1885, it is hereby ordered that the
uniform rates of postage to be levied and col.
lected in the United States on correspondence to
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
grammes.
G. For postal cards, 2 cents each.
D. For newspapers, if not over ounces in
weight, cents each.
E. For other printed matter, samples Of mer-
chandise, and all articles, other than newspapers
enumerated in article Of the treaty, 2 cents per
each weight of ounces or fraction thereof
F. For the registration fee on all correspond

in cases where receipt from the addressee is
requested.
II. No additional tax will be collected in the
United States on the correspondence forwarded
within the Union by sea on routes Of more than
800 nautical miles in length.
1. AS regards the amounts to be paid for the
territorial transit according to article 10 of 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 francs per hiogramme of
letters, and Is centimes per kilogramme Of print
ed matter, ETC., and is ready by increasing the
transit rates, as permitted, to francs and so
confines respectively, to meet the wishes of
those Departments of the Union which make the
same declaration in regard to the United States
transit correspondence.
Z. The freedom of transit of correspondence
in closed mails, reciprocally granted in the exist
ing Postal Convention between the United States
and Switzerland, will be maintained.
L. The Union rates of postage hereinbefore
prescribed will be levied and collected on and
after July 1, 1875 on the correspondence to and
from all the contracting States except France,
and on and after January 1, 1875, on the CORE
spondence to and from France.
