AN INGENIOUS EXPLANATION FROM SENATOR CAR
PENTERs ORGAN.
From The MiIDdukee Sentinel
An effort Is being made by some newspa-
pers to connect the Hon. W. s. King OF Minnesota
with corrupt practices IN connection with the Pacific
Mail. TDs effort has SIMPLY no foundation whatever
ing IN Congress TO give an increased subsidy 10 the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company Mr. King, who was
confidence that the bill would pass. He went to New
York and communicated this assurance TO parties thero
pool was organized, and large amount OF the stock
bought. Upon the passage OF the bill
SPECULATION that was paid to him in the manner de-
tailed before the Ways and Means Committee The
transaction purely business matter, and one to
which no faint or corruption attaches.
DOUBTFUL STRAIGHT FORWARD BUSINESS LIKE
VENTURE.
From TIE H,loaaLee Advertiser, (Rep)
Mr.. King was Postmaster in the House hay-
Ing facilities Tor lobbying Dill such as member could
enjoy and he IL able TO make pront OF s75OOO by his
check into his bank for collection, he uses every
precaution TO prevent his name being known TO the
manager OF Inc bank from which the money drawn
He could have drawn tho money from the teller b,
writing his name upon the check but he shrank
back from that responsibility. Referred TO the
accountant he dared not even in confidence reveal
ms patrODymic, aud the inner sanctum OF the
managerial office Kings
whispered. Such precautions beht man engaged IN
venture not t to see tho light. They just
might be resOrted TO by engineering fraud and
anxious u leave footmarks Mr. King got the money
hut suspicious were his surroundings that detective
set upon his track to follow him to the bank in
which the wages OF stu were deposited, and thus the
royal name ascertained. We prepared TO hear

COnstitutiOnality of the Lately En-
 acted Postage Law.

We find the following in our exchan- 'ges:
 NEW YORK, July TIA case involv- ing the constitutionality of the amend led postage law, has been brought in the United States circuit court for this district A gentleman offers book for mail transmission to Philadelphia from this city, postage at the old rates being offered and refused. He applies for a mandamus to compel the post master to receive packages. The argu- ment of the applicant is that the Sun dry Civil Appropriation bill, into which the amendment increasing the rate on third-class mail matter was in- serted, was not bill for revenue; that the amendment did provide ways and means for raising revenue; that the Senate has no constitutional authority to originate measures for that purpose, that being the sole prerogative of the House; and that the postal amendment having originated with the Senate and therefore grafted on the bill, was not one for revenue purposes, and is uncon- stitutiOnal.
 In our article last week regarding merchandise in the mails, we erred in saying it passed at eight cents per pound, for by the amendment referred to in the above dispatch, the postage was doubled on samples of merchant disc" just as on books, periodicals, transient newspapers, seeds, etc, there fore Zeckendorf Bros. and others ship ping goods by mail, only gain in the matter of time and actually lose on the freight. But the law needs amend ment more than to be declared uncon- stitutional. Some features of it are just and others unjust as well as not clearly defined. Postal laws should be rarely changed, and then only after the most careful thought both as re- gards the points changed and the lan- guage employed in making the change. In the main our postal laws are excel lent and afford the people generally cheap, rapid, and very certain means of sending and receiving nearly if not all kinds of articles which ought to be admitted into mail bags.

SiiVer.Paved Streets.
Virginia (Nev.) Enterprise. l

Our principal streets being macada-
 mixed with refuse ore taken from the
 mines in early days and being coated
 with the rich ore that has been year after year sifted down upon them from the
 ore wagons, are now everywhere more
 or less argentiferous. Indeed, there is not the slightest stretch of the i'm aginatiOn in saying that we never take
 a step in the town but we are walking
 on silver-that our streets are literally
 paved with silver. While speaking of this fact day or two since, a young
 man bet his friend the price of the as saying and the cigars that he
 would take a lump of mud off of the
 wheel of a bus, then standing before them, and would get out of it precious
 metals to the value of over five dollars
 per ton. An ounce or two of mud was
 taken from the wheel of the vehicle and placed in the hands of an assayer,
 who was not told where the sample
 was obtained. and who no doubt sup
 posed that ne was dealing with decOm-
 posed ore or vein matter from one of our mines. The assay was made, and the assaycr'S certificate showed that the sample contained: "Silver, $754 gold, $232; total, $9.S6." After this we may put on airs, even through our streets are villainously muddy occasion ally, for the very mud on our boots con- tains both silver and gOld-is not the vulgar mud of the "cow county "I towns.
 AN agency has been established at 639 Arch street, Philadelphia, to take charge of contributions to the Centen- ! nial Exhibition, made by parties who cannot be present during the whole i time. For each entry, including re- ceiving, unpacking and arranging for $10. For care of each en- try $5 per month or $25 for six months. l This care includes watching and keep | ing clean and in order of articles. w. 1 T. Frohock is the manager of the agen- cy. We have no references as to re- sponsibility, but its character can cas- fly be ascertalned by corresponding with the Secretary or Director General of the exhibition, with whom all exhib- itors must make arrangements for space, etc. The Agency only proposes to care for articles for which space has been provided.
 Arizona, however, has provided her own agent who will be able to care for all Arizona articles for which space can be obtained. Yavapai county, as seen by proceedings of her Board of published in THE CTTI- ZEN last week, has taken steps for a very full representation of her pro- ducts.
