MISE HE 4 UISElEE.

Oar Washington correspondent, whose

counts from the Government, was approved
by Judge Foster, who informed the Mar

is some mistake about this. Either our
correspondent is misinformed, or the mar
shall has stated what is not strictly true.
II Is not at all reasonable that Judge Eos
ter would give his sanction TO A frauJ Of
tins character, or that he would even wink
at such irregularities on the part Of the
marshal. This statement of Mr.. Miller's If
correctly reported, would give the impress
sion that there was a conspiracy between
the marshal and the Judge to defraud the
government-an imputation upon the Off
ciai character OF Judge Foster which no
man acquainted with him will for a mo-
ment believe.

Postmaster-General Key was sent com.
munication to Speaker Randall, submitting
a plan proposed by Mr.. A. Clifford Eskell
OF London, Eng, for increasing the revenue
Of the Pos.otlicc Department. The plan
consists in the Use OF stamped receipts Of
the value OF one cent and one-half OF a cent
each, having the addresses of the persons
to and by whom any maliabIe matter may
be sent, which addresses, on presentation OF
the matter to be mailed, shall be compared
with each other, and if corresponding the
stamp on receipt shall be cancelled by a
dating stamp, or As letters are marked, while
the package shall be mailed as ordinary mat
ter Of the class to which it belongs, no rec
ord Of it being kept The object OF these
reports is to furnish at nominal cost posi-
tive evidence Of the fact of mailing, OF the
date, and if necessary, of the hour in which
the mail was deposited in the postofiice
The Postmasier-General thinks that this
system OF receipt stamps, if generally adop-
ted by the public, will materially add to
the revenue Of the Department.

A GOOD SUGGESTION.

The Washington Union very properly
suggests to Congressman that they should
not forget that all kinds of business will
remain unsettled until the financial policy
of the country is settled. The present state
OF uncertainty is veg injurious to the COM
mercial and manufacturing interests of the
country. The situation is still further COM
plicated by the fact that the Committee Of
WAYS and Means are considering tariff re-
vision. 1t is impossible for business men to
make arrangements for the future, with
safety, while legislation is pending relating
to the tariff and currency, which may ulti-
mately affect all sorts Of values. These
considerations should induce Congress to
apply itself diligently to business in order
that the public suspense in regard to these
matters may be ended as soon as possible.

CHURCH AND STATE

The Unitarian ministers of Massachusetts,,
yesterday had protest read in Congress
against the reconciliation of silver. They
seem to think that because they have the
single standard" in religion, the business
world should not have the double standard
in money. General Butler administered a
whitening rebuke to the oflicious preachers,
by sending to the clerks desk, and having
read that portion Of Johns gospel which
tells OF Christ driving the money changers

sending the reverend gentlemen word, upon
divine authority, to attend to their own

that the project is feasible one. The
parties who would be injuriously affected
