POSTAL ABUSES.

Complaints continue 10 be made Of irregular traffic in
postage stamps many of the postmasters Of Broome,
sullivan Wayne and Orange counties, in this State
and susquehanna ana Pike counties in Pennsylvania,
being the alleged offenders Those officials for their
services to the government paid only commission
on the stamps sold 10 their several Offices ranging
from y to sixty per cent according to the amount Of
business transacted 70 increase the Of their
percentages they have resorcd TO systematic frauds
upon the And this is the way they cheat the
government Take for instance an Office whose legit
requstons for stamps would not exceed per year
$3.50 At such 4 place the Postmaster orders
stamps to the value Of 81, 600 Then he writes
to some one In New York who sells stamps Offering
him the surplus reduction upon government price,
thus realizing the difference between the received
and the fifty per which he pays for his supply
These irregularities have been suspected for time
ana lately improvement on the cheat was put into
practice Instead OF dealing with others VINO sell
stamps the postmGsters have begun to trade directly
with bus ness houses In New York paying in full for
goods purchased here with stamps obtained at The re-
duct.oA Of city per cent from the Revenue Department

The Democratic Show in Congress

The rank and file of the Demo
cratic party must feel particularly
glorious at the patriotic figure cut
by their representatives in Con-
gress. Simply to obstruct the vote
on the supplementary civil rights
bill, the bill that the honored
Sumner-whom their orators be-
spattered with praise when dead,
and whom they insulted with prof
fered friendship ir 1S72-cried out
for with his dying breath, these
specimens of what a venal eye can
elevate to Legislative honors, stand
in solid phalynx and oppose by
dilatory motions, twisting rules in
tended for the protection of a MI
nority into the means of despicable
oppression, indignity and insult, at
time, too, when every hour is val
liable and prolific with business.
If there is a party in the United
States willing to cover itself with
this shame, it certainly can be
easily understood by the people.
And in whose behalf is this outrage?
The Democracy always claimed that
it was the party of the people; that
it advocated the rights of the poor;
that it was against all tyranny, and
would defend human rights. Well,
here was humane bill to rescue
the poor ignorant classes of the
country from certain rights that are
denied them. The rich and aristo-
cratic mobiles of the South will not
grant these poor wretches their
equality of rights, and these Demo-
Gratis know it; and yet they are, as
they have always been, whenever
any question has come up for aiding

or emancipating the negroes, throw
ing every hindrance in the way,
ready to suffer any sacrifice for the
despotic ex-slave masters OF the
South, and ready to curse a poor
despised race forever with any disa-
bilities to please their former enc
mics. And this disgrace is as
coolly performed as though it were
a meritorious action, and doubtless
there are men in the North who
will hail this conduct as highly
constitutional and wondrously de-
serving.
