Campaign Documents surreptitiOusiy Cir
culated-Vi Violation Of the Postal Law.

For month past we have been receiv-
ing through our Republican exchanges,
embodied in them, campaign document
with the word Supplement" printed across
the top Of it, purporting to BET Startling
Exposition of Democratic DemagOgism, by
Senator Window, Chairman Of the Senate
Committee on Appropriations. . This doc
ument is not supplement printed at the
newspaper Offices from which il has been
issued, but campaign document prepared
and printed in Washington, and sent to
Republican newspapers for circulation by
being folded within them and sent through
the mails under the pretence that il Is a
supplement printed and published BY such
papers. This proceeding is a fraudulent
one and a gross violation of the Postal
Law, from which We make the following
extract
'sTo inclose or conceal letter or other
thing Except bills OF receipts for subscrip-
ton ~, or to write or print anything, after
its publication, upon any newspaper, pamph-
let, magazine, or other printed matter, is ille-
gal, and subjects such printed matter and the
entire package of which il is part, to letter
postage, and also subjects the offender to a
.tiBe al fire dollars for every such offense; and
in such case If the person addressed refuses
70 pay such letter postage, the package must
be returned TO the Office at which it was
mailed, in order that the postmaster may
cause the offender to be prosecuted for the
penalty"
We have received this document, folded
in Republican newspapers published in
widely different parts Of this State and in
Pennsylvania. We know, and their pub
fishers know, that this is not supplement
printed at their respective Offices. 1t is
a gross violation of the Postal Law, and n
prostitution Of the public service to the
purposes of party. The facts and eircum-
stances should be brought at once to the
notice Of Postmaster General Key, that he
may take steps to punish the offenders and
see that the United States mails are not
used by the Senate Republican Committee,
and the newspaper publishers who are will
ing 10 lend themselves to such purposes, to
disseminate Republican campaign docu-
ments at the expense of the postal service
Of the United States.
The document referred to is a tissue of
Misrepresentation from beginning to end,
and has been thoroughly exposed in a
pamphlet entitled Republican Duplicity
as to Democratic Economy, Exposed by
Representative Blackburn, of KY" We
shall publish this document, in full, in the
Afroeate, next week, and send it forth to
countcraet the Misrepresentation of Sen
ator Window, as far as this locality is con-
cerued, and We shall not resort to the false
pretence of publishing it as a supplement,
in order to cheat the United States Gov
eminent out of its proper postal revenue.

A Shocking Disaster.
Sinking ofan English Exclusion Steamer.
SIR Hundred Liues Lost.

LONDON, September 3.-fhe excursion
steamer Princess Alice, returning from Graves.
end 20 London this evening, with about SOC
passengers on board, was run down of Bark
ing, about o'eloek, by a screw steamer.
1t IS reported that between four and five hun
bred persons we're drowned.
The Princess Alice wes struck amidships
and sunk almost Immediately. The number
of persons drowned IS variously estimated at
from 500 to $50. The higher estimate is the
latest and is given by the London steamboat
company, the owners of the Princess Alice.
The company wharf is besieged by crowds
of people anxious to hear of relatives and
friends who were passengers of the Inflated
boat.
The steamer which sunk the Princess Alice
is supposed to be the Byweli Castle a screw
collier, bound north in ballast. The steward
of the Princess Alice states that after the col
llsiOn the other steamer proceeded without
attempting 70 render aid. He estimates that
700 persons wereo on board the p rincess Alice.
She sank bow first in FIVE minutes after she
was struck. Some small boats and an.
other excursion steamer rendered what as
sistance was possible. The drowned include
an extraordinary proportion of women and
children. Several of the survivors speak oil
having lost rs many as three, FIVE and SIX
children. They describe the water as Gov
cred with hundreds of shrieking people. The
captain and nearly all Of the crew of the Prin-
cess Alice were drowned. They had no time
to lower the boats and there were but very
few life-buoys on the steamer. All the police

show about $50. The Princess Alice was q
wheel steamer with raised saloon. Her
gross tonnage was 25l, and that of the By
