MIR. Burchard's Postal Savings Bill, as
amended and reported by the House Com
mittee, authorizes persons to deposit any
amount from % cts. to $500 in a money
order post-ofice, and ts receive credit
therefor 10 a psss-book. When these de-
posts accumulate to the amount of $50
the depositor may demand and receive
certificate bearing interest al the rate Of
one cent day on the dollar, or S.65 per
cent. year; and these certificates are
convertible INTO 4 per cent. bonds. No
charge Is to ba made against the depOstor
for any transaction under the bill, the
object being to invite the deposit Of saw
ings from the people, and to use these
savings loaned TO the Government for the
purchase of the 6 per cent. bonds of the
Government. There seems to be a ia
vorablss outlook for the passage of this
measure. Leader.

The news of the state of things
between England and Russia on Fri
day of last week, left things pretty
much in a dead lock. The dispatch
which seems TO carry some authority
on its face is to the effect, that the
Russian Commandant near Constan-
tinople had requested the Port to
demand the removal of the British
feet from its position. This note
was handed to the English minister
Layard, who at once made reply that,
the feet would consent to removal,
when the Russian army should be
removed. This reply was not salts
factory, and was returned to Russian
headquarters without comment.
The affair assumes therefore this
complexion, that both parties ars
Committed to hold their relative po-
siti0ns unless one or the other shall
voluntarily back out. The alterna-
tive is fight, or an indefnate con
tinuance of their stGtas gao. Such
a state of things looks as if it were
provocative and pregnant of bostili
ties, and to back out would show
more pusalanimity than can be look
ed for from Russia, and the sluggish
ness and careful prudence of Eng
land, can hardly be believed to go
that far.

The effect of the speech of Senator Howe
of Wisconsin, as shown in the Senate, is
thus described by one who was present and
familiar with the surroundings-our friend
Byington of the Norwalk-Ct.-GGzetts.
When it was announced that Mr..
Howe would deliver . prepared
speech in the Senate, in opposition
to the Presidents policy, and the
time of its delivery stated, an i'm
mense crowd filed galleries and floor
TO listen to his long and cumulative
arraignment. Surprise aided Curl
osity in giving the Senator the larg-
est and most deeply interested audi
ence of the session. The effects pro-
duced by Mr. Howe's witty sarcas-
tic and at times severely cutting
thrusts at the President, were both
amusing and instructive. The Demo-
Gratis seemed to enjoy the occasion
as one whose deserved chastisemeut
was being administered upon one
whom they were glad to see pum-
meled. The Democratic Senators
sat in their seats and grinned and
giggled like boy whose bullying
adversary is receiving a sound drub-
bing at the hands of his own moth
er. On the Republican side the ef-
feet was quite varied and varying.
From one Senator would com
the remark, "WeIl, what good can
come of all this?" Another would
say, cit is all true enough, but what's
the use of furnishing our opponents
with clubs of our own manufacture
for them to knock US down with?"
CUnkling, Blaine and Hamlin, it was
plain TO see. enjoyed the lashing the
Administration got as heartily as ev-
er an Irishman did a wild "ruction"
at Donnybrook Fair. About the
best thing said by anybody was the
revival of the remark of Mr.. Gree
ly, quoted by ex-senator Matt Car
penter, that "there are Republicans
enough for one party, not enough
for two parties" and such demon
stratiOn tended only to div visions
among earnest and honest friends
intent ON perpetuation of the same
political principles.
