therefore, proposed that the Chamber vote the
four direct taxes. He hoped the Chamber
would authorize the collection of the other
items of revenue according to existing law. The
Government asked for credit of 529, 500 900
francs to cover two months. This vote would
indicate the Chambers confidence 10 the Gov.
eroment, and be trusted that the Chamber
would not refuse it. The Chamber then voted

CONGRESS has adjourned for one month, and the

Congress has adjourned for one month"; and the
country breathes easier. Congress doubtless has
10 its power, by the repeal of certain laws and
the passage Of certain others. to improve the
condition of affairs greatly, but as its course IN
the past gives no indication that it's future sit
tings will result more advantageous|y, it would
be better if the adjournment had been prolong-
ed for year. The experience of this country,
municipal, State and national, goes to prove
that legislation, so far from bene6tiog the PEG
pie, is the cause of most of their troubles. This
being so, the relief consequent upon the tempo
rary adjournment would be greater had the ad.
jouroment been for longer period. The larger
portion Of the sessions OF Congress is now con-
sumed 10 contested election cases, personal
sqaabbles and 6libustering, neither of which
rebounds in the remotest degree to the general
welfare, and as the appropriation bills could all
be passed in month, if the sessions could 30

improved the crystalline cane by plant

which mature earlier. and have thus, as
it were, engrafted upon 1t the qualities

Another, and we consider the most
powerful, claim for the planting Of the
crystalline cane is its wonderful vitality

OFFENSIVE MERCHANDISE ny MAIL
How western Merchants Reduce Thell
Transportation Bills.
IN v HaraId I

IN. Y. Herald
Several packages of smoked fish In
various stages of decomposition, which
had gone through the mails from some
OF the Atlantic seaboard cities to Ari-
IONA, via San Francisco, we're received
at the Postoffice Department to-day,
accompanied with an interrogatory
from the Arizona mail contractor
whether he is compelled to transport
Objectionable merchandise of this sort
The department has already taken steps
to prevent such violations of the postal
laws, and will shortly issue circular
notifying postmasters that offensive and
damaging matter Of this kind should be
excluded from the mails, and that they
will be held responsible for passing such
articles.
The use OF the postal facilities for the
transportation of mailable merchandise
to remote points in the Western States
and Territories is constantly becoming
more general, and 1t Is said on good au-
thority that some Of the merchants in
Arizona receive fully three.fourths Of
their Eastern goods through the mails,
at cost of eight cents per pound for
transportation by the government, as
against thirty to forty-tive cents per
pound. which they would otherwise
have to pay for express transportation
from the terminus Of the California
Railroad to Tucson.
Among the articles thus received in
large quantities through the postoffices
are pistols. clothing of all descriptions,
knives, forks, spoons, shoes, stockings,
rubber and bone ware, family goods,
and, as certain mail contractors declare,
almost everything except oil and mo-
lasses."
Agents Of some large Eastern houses
are said to be meeting with great sue
cess in obtaining orders from relatives
In many remote places for direct trade,
based on the superior cheapness of mail
transportation but, Of course, the gov
eminent indirectly pays for much Of it.
