THE NEW POSTAGELAw.

To-day, the new postage law takes
effect, and all mail matter must be
prepaid at the mailing office. The pos
hage on printed matter is two cents
per pound on all publications, issued
daily or weekly, and three cents on
matter issued less frequently, The
publishers of the CHRONICLE have
made no addition to the subscription
price of the paper. Consequently there
is really reduction over former rates,
Of twenty cents a year on The weekly
and sixty cents on the daily. This in
wolves no little expense to US, aud we
trust to the additional activity on the
part of our friends to increase our
circulation and make up the loss. We
intend to give our readers first class
r1elns journal at the very lowest living
rate

OUR HOG sHIPMEN ~

The high price at which pork has
been sold this season invests the sub
ject of its future price and present
product with unusual interest. The
last issue of the Cincinnati Price Cur
rent has returns from the six princi.
pal pork packing points of the United
States, which show that up to the
close of December the number packed
was about 100000, which is about
the same number as last year. Think.
ing that the shipments from East
Tennessee would be of interest, we
asked Mr.. Ogden, the General Freight
and Ticket Agent of the East Ten.

to give us n report of the shipments
from the several stations on the line
Of that road, and we print it below:

From the testimony Of the command.

cation was established last July. 1t
is stated that the organization mum,
bers from $500 to $500 men in that
city. The League is organized into
two regiments Of infantry and one Of
artillery. The regiments have a full

that the organization is non-politica

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3l.--Thc Rcpubl-
can Congressman are much clatcd ut T..
fact that the Pacific Mail investigated
shows that John G.. Schumacher, Demo
cratic member Of Congress from Brook
Ign, New York, received $4,000 OF The
corruption fund. Relatively, the sum, Il
distributed among the Democratic Con-
grcssmen, would make a much larger pr
rata amount than the sum proved to hayv
been paid Bill King. The distribution Of
the sum to Representatives Of both shScs
OF the House Is an old trick Of the LOBBY.
The philosophy seems to be that Con
grcss will not make unpleasant inquiries
Il members OF both parties arc involved in
improper transactions. The discovery OF
the connection of Schumacher with the si-
fair must be both surprise and disccn-
future to Mr.. Beck. The latter has been
the leading spirit in reyiying this invest
cation. His private conversation showed
that his purpose was TO " catch" soync
prominent Republicans, a. 1t was job
Stcvcnson's purpose to "catch the SPEAK
err No Republican member Of Con
gross has yet been discovered with the
corruption pelf, but the large sum Of S275,
900 is directly traced to a Democratic
member OF Congress. The ingenuity Of
Twins original answer becomes more sp-
parent by the discovery OF Schumaker.
Schumacher, like Parsons and King, was
not member or officer Of the Forty-sec-
ond Congress, and is also member or o3-
iicer Of the present Congress.
The testimony of Irwin in secret s.s-
sion is being rapidly corroborated. Ue
nov fbp th-rf, ,f,,it Y,riyatnlxy IN
derstand that the amount of corruption
! fund was about 81, 250,000 The analyst,
OF the testimony before the committee a.
New York, shows that even a larger sum
! than this was expended for corrupt pur-
poses in connection with the subsidy. The
testimony shows that $500, 900 is charged
to Irwin, $200,0 600 TO Stockwell, through
| Roach, $50, 900 to the Panama Railroad
| Company, a false entry To conceal fraud
| $50, 600 to profit and loss n similar entrI
OF $500. 900 to a. K. Stockwell, making
altogether about 81 500, 900. The name o:
Schumacher was one of the first which was
connected with the subsidy in the po,iti-
cal gossip Of the Capital. Schumacher
| himself, who was here three days ago, be-
ing asked why he did not Immediately
sail for Europe as he had planned to do,
| replied ~ am afraid they would charL,
that / was running away from the Pacific
Mail The present whereabouts, OF
Schumacher appear to be unknown. Sew
eral, kilograms have been sent here to fno
him to-day, but he has left. Schumacher
was member of the Forty-first Con-
gress, is n member Of the present Con-
grcss, and is elected to the next Congress
as Democrat. lie answers exactly the
description of the person who accompan-
led King to the American Exchange Balk
in New York, and who presented tae
$27j, 900 check.

TENNESSEE CLAIMS.

We publishIin this issue of the
CHRONICLE full list of the claims
from Tennessee, acted upon and re-
ported to the present session of Con-
gross by the Southern Claims Com.
mission. This is the first publication
made of this list in Tennessee, and
we are indebted to Hon. J. NJ.
Thornburgh for the advanced copy.
Persons who have claims pending be-
fore this commission, will find their
names in the list we publish, provid.
ed their claim has been acted upon.
If their names do not appear in this
list, they may know their case has
not yet been reached, or has not yet
been finally acted upon. Claimants
are perhaps impatient of the delay in
their cases, but q few figures present
ed in the report of the Commissioners
now before us will satisfy them
that the delay is not caused by the
neglect OF the Commissioners, all of
whom are men of high character,
strict integrity, great energy and
learned in their profession. Their re-
port shows that there have been 22,-
29S claims filed for their action.
They have disposed of 7,GGl of these,
and 1867 still remain TO be heard.
They reported Z, 407 claims last month
TO Congress for allowance. OF this
number Tennessee gets jj4. This is
