A POSTAL POINT.

Important to Landlords and Postmasters.
Chicago, Dec. 1o.-A city journal
having stated that the hotel keepers of
Chicago regard as an Unjust and bur-
densome discrimination Postmaster
Palmer's rule that letters left at hotels
for travellers must be restamped when
forwarded, while in all other cities such
letters are forwarded without being
stamped again, MI. Palmer has written
to the Postmaster General for instruc-
tions on the subject, and received re-
ply fully sustaining his action, and
stating that other postmasters have
erred if they have done otherwise. The
vital part of the letter is as fol-
lows:
Under uniform ruling of this De-
partment the right to forward letters
by mail to a second destination without
additional postage applies only to such
letters as have not left the custody Of
the postal officials. When a letter
carrier calls at hotel with letters for
parties who have given the proprietor
instructions to forward their mail to
another address, the proprietor should
at once redirect such letters and return
them to the carrier, in which case they
may be forwarded without additional
postage, but if the carrier is allowed to
leave them at the hotel, or if they are
taken out of his possession, they are re-
garded as having been legally delivered,
and they cannot be again mailed with
out prepayment anew Of at least one
full rate of postage, three cents, by
stamp affixed.

sey under consolidated mortgage.

A New YORK dispatch some days
since declared that General Ord was
q dangerous man to have on the Rio
Grande. Gen. Ord's statement before
the committee OH Military Affairs
would indicate that he is pacifically
inclined. 1t is possible that the fellows
who want war are maneuvering for the
removal of Ord.

GALLrpoL1s. OHIO, October 1, 1877.

Friend Cowardin,-In reading the Dis
patch, Whig, and Enquirer, as well as every
Virginia paper that read in my rambles,
there appears communications from some
source about the public debt, and how to
avoid it, or how to pay it, or how to adjust it.
Now, il all these men who are contributing so
much literature for the benefit Of the dear old
Commonwealth would go to work, many OF
them, and spend the same amount OF time
in making money to pay their own debts
and their own taxes, instead OF bowling
around over the State and talking politics,
the debt would soon be paid and everybody
be contented and happy.
There is not a single town that I have
been in for the past six months in the State
but what I found groups OF men enough
talking about the State debt to have made
$3.50 during that day il they had all been
employed at some Legitimate business. The
debt can be paid and should be paid, and
why will men try to avoid it? The man
who goes in debt with good prospects OF
paying can do so if he will pay attention
to his business and work with as much vim
and energy as he often does to avoid pay
ing. What say you? JUSTICE.

The Mexican Troubles.

The expedition of Colonel SKATER across
the Rio Grande, as has been stated, was to
protect Lieutenant BULLIs's small force,
which had gone in pursuit Of some ma
rauding Indians who had robbed the people
of Texas, on the border, OF considerable
number Of horses and cattle. 1t being ascer-
tanned that body of Mexican soldiers were
near who might fall upon Lieutenant Bull
LIs's command, Colonel SHAFTER went to
his assistance. The Indians had been warn
ed, and escaped with their booty. The Next
can soldiers made no hostile demonstration
after seeing SKATERS achievements; but
it seems to be believed that IN attack was
meditated, and only avoided by the arrival
OF SKATER.
1t has been understood that both the
American and Mexican Governments agreed
to the crossing of the boundary to overtake
and punish marauding parties. The act of
Lieutenant BULLS was performed under
this arrangement; but the intentions OF the
Mexican soldiers, it seems, were so clearly
understood that apprehensions are enter
tanned by United States officers that there
will be some conflict between the regular
soldiers of the two countries. AS there has
been none, it would be better to leave the
matter of trouble to take care OF itself, rest
ing upon the present understanding.
President HAYES will have this Mexican
question for his message. 1t will add lit
tie variety to it, but will be very small at
fair, We suppose.

The Meeting of Congress.

The day for the assembling OF Congress
Ia extra session Is near atshand. Monday
the 18th Is the time. The newspapers are
already specializing asto the political disro-
sitions that may manifest themselves IN us
proceedings. Some prominent journals an
ticipate some movement among TIT. Demo.
Gratis upon the sub, cct OF the southern policy
Of President HAYES. Upon this SUPPOSE
ton much conjecture as to how such .
movement would be received and Wnas
effect it would have on the Republican
party has been INDUCED.
We do not think the Democratic party
will be In a hurry to embark in matter
about which there must be at this time con-
siderable confusion OF ideas, and we think
1t probable that the wiser heads will prefer
to take time for reflection and for under
standing before embarking upon the sea OF
discussion OF a subject which may have
many embarrassing features.
II the Democratic party could take up a
resolution approving Of the conciliatory
policy OF President HAYES, and without
connecting it with other questions pass it,
that would be well. Such a resolution
would put the Republicans to test and set
them to an embarrassing game OF tact; but
we should think it would force combina-
ton quite strong enough to prevail in favor
OF the Administration-that is, provided
the Democrats made the first move, and OF
that we think there is doubt enough to rem
der it rather improbable. ,.r
A little delay would justify the anticipa-
ton Of more prudence than would probably
characterize any movement on the subject
ut this time. We would now expect to see
some motions and excited speeches on tine
Electoral Commission which would not at
all help to promote that harmony which we
are sure is the main object Of President
HAYEs's measures and aspirations. That
would be pity. Time with warm-tcm-
pered men is a good thing, and that would
be gained by leaving the very important
subject OF the conciliatory and constltu-
tiopal policy of the President to the regular
session of Congress.
The extra session is called for special OBJ
iects. 1t should devote itself to those OBJ
iects and adjourn. 1t should by no means
embark in a discussion which all who
know what sluces OF debate can be let
loose upon the floors OF Congress would
know might last until doomsday if no I'M
perative order of the body interfered to
stop it.
Nevertheless, we say for ourselves that
the adoption OF resolutions approving the
restoration of the autonomy OF the south
ern States, the establishment of the Con-
and the cultivation of harmony
and brotherly relations of the sections,
would be an event which should be gene
rally gratifying to the nation. There could
be no wrong in it, and it could do nothing
but good. Still. we would not think the
work we'll and gracefully done unless it
were done without wrangling. Therefore
we think q little delay might secure a more
conclusion.
The extra session would better do its eX-
tra duty and 60 home.

DR.. ELLzEY; takes ground against the. use

which we think he is entirely correct,
though we may incur the risk OF DR.. FOL

protection the farmer has in regard to the
fertilizers are-frst, the reputation OF the
merchant who sells; and, second. the test
afforded BY, the result shown in crops. The
farmer cannot trust to anything else. Cheml-

DR.. POLLARD continues his monthly
counsels for farming and gardening and

The editorials are lively and iudicious.
The editor has this to say OF the MoFPETT
register:
The Mofett Punch.-It falls on none
cessity, but is wholly dependent upon the
option OF the payer; he may drink or not,
as he pleases; but, INDUCING, let the drink
be spiccd with the tax; 1t Will NOT nurt

OF our people, but the novelty VIII soon

It is simply folly to say that this tax Will
iniure the liquor business. Times may be
so bard as to curtail clothing and other
necessary things, but stimulants men 'o,!'

gated taking away the Briton's mug OF ale

The SOUTHERN PLANTER FOR OCToBER.--
The Planter for October maintains itself
finely. 1t contains the practical address Of
Judge FULLERTON before the Piedmont Ag-
ricultural Society, and several timely arti-
Giles ON matters interesting to farmers. A
brief communication brings before lis the
ghost Of "Lespediza Striata." We are
glad that it dismisscs the unhappy shade
very CURLY, thus: "With Mr.. F. G. RUIZ
"FIN we can willingly say, Exit Lespediza
|" Striata." DR.. ELLzEY has very sensible
article upon "imported and naturallzed
animals" contending that while we are in.
debted to England for our very best blood
in horses and COWS and sheep, there is no
deterioration OF biooded animals in this
country on account OF climate, food, &c.
American horses and cattle have appeared
in England as the equals OF the best AMI
mails produced there. Having the best
blood in our own fields and stables, the
Doctor argues that they have rather the adj
vantage of imported stock, whose virili-
ty and general vigor are impaired so
much by sea voyage that several seasons are
necessary for their entire recuperation.
The Doctor concludes: The best blood in
.tnearly all our domestic animals originates
"abroad, but the best strains procured
s.from thence are improved for our pur-
opposes by being carefully and skiliully
s'bred in this country for several genera
'Etions." Exactly; and this excellent ad.
vice comes to the very point to which we
have often directed the attention OF farm
ers-viz., that no man should buy im-
proved breeds unless he was determined to
take care OF them. 1t mattered little what
sort OF stock your sloyenly, negligent
farmer kept, it would ever be scandalously
inferior. Perhaps it would be better for
him to have the animals familiar with hard
usage than to subject improved and refined
animals to barbarous treatment. But we
have always, with our limited observation,
felt sure that good usage and proper feed
Ing would make imported stock all the bet
ter after accllmatization in our country. 4;
DR.. ELLzEY calls attention to tho large
amount OF dressed meat now exported from
| this country, which for six months has
amounted to five and q half millions Of dol
lars. Improved cattle only are used in. this
texport, and the Doctor thinks thatias this
