last note. The reply cites no fresh facts.
Ii descants on the principles Of interna-
tiOnal law involved in the discussion, and
expresses the hope that Belgium will seize
the opportunity to dissipate the impression
that Germany is to attack the liberty Of the
press in Belgium. The Minister, after in
forming the House of the contents of the
note, said in addition to the correspond
ence courteous verbal explanations had

BERLIN, April 1G.-The bill abrugating

course of religious associations with their

pOintments, passed a second read
ing to-day in the lower house OF
the Prusslan Diet. In course Of the
debate, Bismarck said the Government was
10th to proceed to such measures, but they
were unavoidable since the Vatican COun-
ell. No one possessed the influence the
Pope had with a compact party, well or
ganized press and an army of obedient
priests. This power would be serious
even if it belonged to a native in
stead of a foreign monarch. That
monarch, if he had the means,
wOuld carry out his programme in Prussia,
but he would have first TO destroy the ma
jOrity of the Prussian people. The Prince
closed his speech with these words:
.'When all the breaches in the bulwarks of
the States, caused by granting too many
rights TO unworthy subjects, are repaired,
then We VIII be able to conclude peace.

POSTMASTER GENERAL JEWELL has no
reverence for the man who invented
straw bids. He is making an effort to
break up the system, and If he succeeds
will save to the government many thou
sands of dollars, which, under past adj
illustrations Of the department, have
found their way into the pockets of con-
tractors. The principal mail contractor
on the Mississippi river has been a man
named Peterson. He received sums
varying from five thousand dollars TO
many times that amount, for certain con-
tracts. lie hired other parties to do the
work, paying, in some instances, thou.
sand dollars wear for ser-
vices for which he received
five thousand dollars, and his profits on
