Postal Matters.

WASHINGTON, November 15.-Among the
recommendations in the annual report OF
the Postmaster. General, which is published
to-day, is that necessary authority be given
by law to enable the Post Office Department
to accept the general rules OF the Postal
Union respecting the payment OF indemnl-
ties for registered articles lost or destroyed.
That foreign books by mail be made duty
free is another recommendation. It is suS
gested that it be made the duty OF the De-
partment to give and take receipts for re-
sistered matter only when requested by the
sender. 1t is pointed out that the Depart
ment cannot be expected to be self-sus-
tanning.
With reference to the statement in the re-
cent minority report Of the special commits
sion on railway-mail transportation, in con-
nection with the aggregate payments for
mail service. that the South had more than
her proportion in 1860 and less in 1876, the
Postmaster-G General says: "From this it
might be inferred that there had been I'M
in the adjustment Of pay for carrying mails,
but such is not the case. The rates OF pay
are the same on all roads on which the
amount and character OF service are similar.
1t is true that greater rates OF pay are al
lowed elsewhere than in the South, because
the service is greater. On one route from
New York city the average daily weight OF
mails is thirty-siX tons, while no road south
OF Maryland carries more than six tons OF
mail day; and the same disproportion en-
lists between nearly all northern and south
