The Free DeIirery Of Leftc ~.

Ii the people desire to escape taxation
and its accompanying evils; il they wish
to see their lands and their houses re-
lieved of the weight that now rests
against them, and increase in value, they
must submit to some inconvenience and
relieve the government Of the load that
the Republican party has accumulated
upon it. One of the unnecessary ex-
penses which has grown up in the last
fifteen years is the free delivery of let
tiers and mail matter.
The founders of the government made
the Post-ofice Department sclf-suppo ort-
ing. And it was SO continued until after
Van Buren's administration. Various
encroachments were made upon this sys-
TEN until now the Post-ofiice Depart
ment is an absolute burden upon the
people, and without being fairly adjust
ed. 1t makes the poor laborer pa for
the postage first and then delivery of
the rich mans letters, while perhaps he
receives none or very few himself.
The bill which the Committee of the
House of L representatives. has reported
provides no means for the payment Of
letter carriers i'll cities under 10 WOO in
population. So far SO good but it ought
20 have struck deeper, and eradicated
the whole free delivery system. There
is no justice in taxing those who live in
small towns or cities, and farmers, TO pay
for the delivery of letters to the dehizens
OF large cities and this is the effect of the
free delivery. Those who want their let.
tiers and papers delivered can as well pay
carriers themselves. This was thb Gus.
tom all over the country twenty years
ago, and oy resort to it again the gov
ernment could save millions of dollars
every year. Then millions would be
saved to the laborer in all parts Of the
country. Under our present system ol
taxation the burden does not rest alik,
upon the rich and the poor; vd ry faj
from it; the letter carrier performs te1
tunes as much labor for some men as fo
others, and not unfrequently WON en- ar,
required by our system, to contribut,
more from their slender means for it,
support than the wealthy business man
or the scheming vender of frauds pay,
VINO receives hundreds OF letters daily.

CAPTURE OF THE KING OwL.-Mr.
Richard Wilson, recently shot and
captured the "king of Owls" on his
farm in Chesterfield county. Mr.. Will
son was at work in his field when he
discovered the presence of His majesty,
an ancient and uncommonly marked
specimen of his tlibe, and sending to
the house for his gun wounded and
captured him. He is of genus denomi-
mated as the "noeting," is of gigantic
proportions. measuring nearly six
feet from tip to tip of the wings; his
head is perfectly white and is covered
with what seems to be more like nair
than feathers, bis large very and sine
wy. display formidable talons or nails
an inch in length. His owlship was
as fearless, as he is supposed to be
aged, and sustained the discharge of
one barrel of Mr.. Wilson's gun, with
out iiinching, the second brought him
down. He has been presented by Mr..
Wilson to a gentleman of this city
who will have him stuffed and placed
in cabinet.--Peter6urg VA. Neus.
