New MAIL LAW.-There is ruling
o. the Postoftice Department which
will come into force on the first of Oc-
tober, which is not generally known,
but which is very interesting. After
that date all third clasa matter can be
regiatorel at the same rate as that
charged for registering letters. viz:
ten cents. Third lass matter COM
prises all articles Of wearing apparel,
and the rate for carrying is one cent
for each ounce, in packages whose
weight is limited to four pounds
You can order dozen shirts in San
Francisco, and have them registered,
thus insuring against loss, and the to-
tai cost for transportation will not ex-
coed from twenty-five to thirty f-ro
cents. There is another grade of
third-class matter, such as books,
pamphlets, etc, for which the charge
Is one cent every two ounces. This
also can be registered. The public
will find this new system to be Won
ierfu!ly convenient, and will make.
use Of the mails in sending thousands
Of packages which are now carried at
nigh prices by he various express
companies. Tie latter vii! undoubt
etly 0; ect to tits interference with
their business; but the only result
viii be an immense increase ia the
bulk of Ihe laalIs and tie employment
of additional force in the department
to hanlle if. You can send Just as
jaany packages as Won please and reg
lister each OF thela, the only restriction
being that each must weigh but four
pounds.

The Jetties.
Special to the St, Louis Republican,

Special To the ST. Louis Republican,
WASHINGTON, March. 20. "A letter
reached the secretary OF war to-day from
the inspecting engineer at the jetties,
dated the tenth OF the month, In which 1t
is stated that during the forty days pres
ceding the tenth the channel of twenty
four feet and OF the full width OF two
hundred and sixty feet had moved down
three thousand feet, which brings 1t to
within fifteen hundred feet of the deep
water. The depth OF twenty-four feet
was secured to within two thousand feet
of the deep water, Of a sufficient width
to pass steamers drawing that amount Of
water. A letter was also received
here to-day from Schmidt, the assistant
engineer of the Jetties, dated the
twelfth, stating that but fifteen thousand
cubic yards would have to be secured
before reaching the required depth OF
twentystour feet, two hundred and fifty
feet wide, to obtain the next payment.
These statements give an emphatic de-
NAL to the rumors which for a few days
have been actively circulated among
members of congress that the pass was
filling I'D. Parties who are untriendly
to Captain Eads have been writing to
Ellis ana other members of the house
very damaging stories regarding the
jettles, and these letters have been used
TO iniure the plan of improving the river
By a commission.

ceptiOn that he stipulates that four Of the

Arkansas. The agitation OF the general
question is increasing daily. Memorials
and petitions from the boards OF trade
indOrsing the COckrell bill are coming in.
Chalmers was moved to offer his bill be-
cause OF such action by the Yicksburg
treasas tie" ffglh'is "ihtkeasel on Capt.
Eads through the commission plan. The
ot. Paul convention delegation say that
this proposed plan OF q systematic i'm
pruyement OF the river below st. Louis
has cut cit all their prospects for the
lower river, aud that now 1t is working
against them above st. Louis.
EX-Mayor Brown OF the delegation
leaves tor st. Louis tonight to lay before
the merchants exchange and the steam>
boatuen the needs OF the hour from the
Standpoint OF his delegation. Judging
IRON the indications the people above
st. Louis want the provisions OF the
COckrell bill extended to the up.
| per river, and it Is this sentiment which
Is really hlndering the 81. Paul delega-
ton. Senator Cuckrell was particularly
careful to avoid conflicting with them in
their plans fer the upper river. but now
the cities above ST. Louis want the bill
| exten ded to them. Senator Window OF
Minnesota informed Senator Cockrell to-
day that the st. Paul board OF trade had
taken such action, and that he (WIndom)
would move an amendment TO the bill in
accordance with this idea.
There are two members OF the house
committee on levees, Young and Money
OF Tennessee and Mississippi respectively,
who are dead set against the Cockrell's
bll, but the majority will no doubt
agree to it, providing, however, that
three Of the engineers are from the army
corps. The idea OF incorporating in the
bill an appropriation beyond what is
necessary to carry on the survey by the
commission will also be dropped by the
house committee.

not heard from him since her return
to Cuba, and that she could not hear
from him. Tbs brief letter bore evi>
denco of having been hurriedly written,
and its broken and soiled condition led
Judge Leonard to suspect that it had
been carried some distance by negro
to be secretly mailed. After writing
other letters and waiting anxiously tor
replies he became convinced that
the parents of the lady.
were not ading In good faith,
and he determ ned to visit Cuba. A
week or two before his departure he
called on the president and, informing
him OF his trouble. requested the PRESS
dent to write personal letter to the
consul-general requesting him TO ascer.
tain, If possible, the situation and where
abOuts of the lady. The president did so.
and in due Judge Leonard received a cable
dispatch from Havana which informed
him that MARIA had been sent to plan
tation in the country" This dispatch
was not signed by the consul~general,
but bore the name Of party unknown
to Judge Leonard. This added to his
perplexity, and he determined to set out
at once for Cuba. He called on Senior
Mantilla, the Spanish Minister at Wash.
ington, and making known to HIM his
trouble obtained from that official
letter to the captainsgeneral Of
Cuba, recommending him to do what
ever .wasprOper to aid Judge Leonard In
bis declicate mission. The sympathies
of Nine. MantilIa were also enlisted in
behalf OF Judge Leonard, and that lady
wrote such letter as lady would write
in such case, urging the captain.general
to do everything possible to unite the
levers. With these letters Judge Leon
ard sailed tor Havana, where he duly ar
directly unfit to-day, when a freud in
this city received letter, written by him
from Havana on March 9TH, in which he
said he had seen the lady in presence of
her parents. No details as to the sue,
cess OF his nilsson were furnished, but
from the general tone of dependency
pervading the letter his friend believes
he failed to obtain the consent Of the
parents to pay his addresses to their
daughter.

TIKI feeling between Russia and Eng,
land is becoming intense and the pros
pect for peaceable settlement OF the
questions at issue between the two ma
tons is not flattering. Latest dispatches
say that Russia has sent a formal request
for the withdrawal Of the British fleet
from the sea of Marmora. 1t is not TO
be expected that this demand will be
compiled with, and il will only tend to
increase the complications or perhaps re.
suit In war. The opinion prevails that
neither nation will retire from the posi-
ton taken relative to the submission OF
the treaty to the congress. Bismarck, it
Is believed, will try to bring about q
compromise, but it is doubtful if he will
succeed. The holding of the congress
is now considered improbable.

The Love Romance Connected
Herewith.

Herewith.
Washington correspondence OF the
New York Times: The visit OF Judge
Leonard to Havana was purely personal
and private. anu was OF a peculiarly In.
terestlng, delicate and romantic Charact>
er. Some time ago, at the CITY of New
Orleans, he met young lady, a native
OF Cuba, who was visiting this country
with her parents and between whom and
Judge Leonard q warm attachment
sprang up. which ripened into love. A
marriage engagement was the result, but
the pare nts OF the young lady, IN conse-
quence Other youth, opposed the match.
aud Judge Leonard was not permitted to
SEQ the object OF his affections except
IN the presence OF her pas
rents. When the time arrived tor the
departure OF the Cuban and his family
from New Orleans, the young lady mani,
tested some reluctance to return home,
bat an arrangement was finally made by
which she and Judge Leonard were to
be permitted 10 hold free and unrestrict,
ed correspondence through the mails.
Alter her departure Judge Leonard
wrote her several letters, TO which no
answers were received, which naturally
annoyed him very much, and gave rise
to the suspicion that his letters had been
intercepted and the young lady prevent
ed from communicating with him.
AlterNa long Interval he received
. brlei letter from tho lady,
Which sjnply stated that she bad
