Sons of Temperance, on Friday and Saturday
evenings, the oath and 25th Of this month,
"a now an assured success, and our 0iazens
NAV anticipate pleasant evenings If they will
attend. The object of the entertainment is
a benevolent one and every one should en-
deayor to be present. Tho price for admis-
sion will he very low, and the prices of arti-
c,es for sale will be equally reasonable. 1t
will be geod place to spend Christmas
money.
The Berger Family were compelled to
omit Anderson from their tour this winter.
E.pousss are 20 heavy with this combina-
ton that they were reluctantly made to
soreso tho intended visit as the town does
not afford hall sufficiently large to justify
them in coming, and tho audience necessary
10 dofray expenses could not be accommo-
dated. But for the want of hall room, there
need be no spprehensions as to the size OF
the crowd, for tho Bergsrs are universal IN
yoritss among the Anderson felix's. Some
.ntarurising individual ought to build
larger hall to meet tho demands of such
occasions.
The Ordinance to prevent cattle running
at large upon the public square has not been
re.enacted as yet. This is matter which
tbe Town Council should give their asten-
ton. It is but reasonable that the munich
nal authorities should try to protect the
: trading public from being deprecated upon
by stock stealing the food Of their work ami
mails or molesting the produce which they
bring to market We arc sure the Council
v;ll take measures to prevent this state OF
things, if they viii reflect upon the annoy
once the COWS give to the persons who try to
feed stock upon the square. Both farmers
and merchants desire the law to be re-enact-
ed and we trust it will be promptly done.

Rate of Postage on Printed Matter.

=
It is known, says the LyHchJ1Tg VTginian,
that the rate Of postage on printed and iniscel-
laneous matter, other than newspapers mailed
TO regular subscribers, wss doubled by the last
Congress. 1t was by an amendment ensraited
upon the Fostofice bill, in the Senate, at the
instance of Hannibal Hamlin Of Maine; the
effect of which amendment did not scent to be
generally understood in the House Of Repre-
sentatives. At least such is the excuse offered
for permitting this bill to pass the House.
As all revenue bills have to originate in the
House-and postolice receipts are revenue it
is held by many persons that the law increas-
ing the rates of postage is unconstitutional, by
reason Of its having originated in tho Senate.
A citizen Of New York having taken this
ground, offered the Postmaster Of New York
city, postage at the old rate, and his applica-
ton being rejected, has brought suit against
the Postmaster to determine the validity Of the
law. The Assistant Attornny General for the
POstofice Department. Judge Spence, thinks
there may be some plausible ground Tor
the position that the law Of the last Congress,
doubling the rates Of postage on printed mat
ter. is unconstitutional and void but it
would be pity" be says, for the courts so
to decide because it woulI make great confu-
sion and interfere with the revenues Of the de-
partmeut."
If the act is unconstitutional it should be
set aside, aud our law-makers -especialiy such
men as Hamlin, who has been Vice President
Of the Unitsd-bo taught proper knowledge
of that supreme law Of the land " under
which they legislate, and make their action
comfortable thereto.
II was strongly suspected .ha; the Express
Companies had something TO DO with this leg
islation increasing the rates Of postage aud
there is very little reason to doubt that the
next Congress will restore the former rate on
third class matter.

Speech by General Gordon, of

General dUrlOu, Of Georgia, made speech
in Alabama a few days since, in the course of
which, seeing many colored men present, he
turned to them and asked
"Who is il that for The sake Of retaining
their hold on power poison the minds of tile
colored men against their former masters aud
friends, aud with false promises control their
votes and keep up contentious and strife be-
tween the two races? Who is it that 10 the

they have robbed you of none Of your rights.

Jury Of the colored man, but for the common
veal Of all; and here alone is safety for the

the preparation of many Of the outrages

QUITE A Loss.-Mr. John Scott. Of
North Wheeling, met with quite Il tinan-
cial loss on Tuesday, which must be the
more provoking from the circumstances
attending it. He had $40 out on inter-
est with some friend in ONO, for the last
nine years, and needing the funds he
started out there To- get it. Having ac-
complishcd his mission, he had arrived
at the Baltimore and Ohio depot with
the funds safely in his vest pocket. There
ne had occasion to adjust the dress of one
of his children who accompanied him.
and he thinks then he may have dropped
it. He walked from the depot to the m
terSection of Main and 10th streets, we
believe, and got ON the street car to ride
up home with the children, and while i'll
the car he discovered that the pocket
book upon which was his name
and contents were gone. $40 is II
large sum to lose but when the miSfor-
tune falls on workngman whose total
and hard earned savings, perhaps, are in
cluded in the sum lost, it is indeed II
financial calamity.
We trust some honestPcrson may have
been the lucky finder, and that the
money may find its way back to the
owner.
