The New Postal Bill.

A Washington correspondent says
one of the principal features of the
House bill for the Redistribution OF
mail matter is the provision requiring
the publishers of newspapers and peri
odicals who desire to have their publ
cations transmitted through the mails
at second-class rates to submit the same
to the Postmaster at the place of publ
cation, under such regulations as the
Postmaster General may prescribe, to
be examined and registered once each
year for such transmission. The
fee is to be ST. per year for each certif-
cate of registration, and the privilege
thereby granted may be revoked by the
Postmaster in case the publication shall
so change its character as to bring it no
longer within the requirements Of the
bill, which are that such publications
must be published for the dissemination
Of information of public character,
and have list Of paid subscriptions.
The bill proposes to establish four
classes of mail matter: First, written
matter; second, registered periodical

A FIGHT with the Elements.

The experience of the propeller G.. J.
Truesdell, on recent trip from Lud-
ington to Milwaukee was the most Sc
we're reported in years in connection
with winter navigation on Lake Michi-
gan. The wind blew gale and heavy
sea was running during nearly the en-
tire voyage. The Truesdell happened
to be light. Although a handy craft in
general sense, this condition proved
unfortunate, as she would not head to
the storm. To aggravate matters she
appeared to be losing ground constantly
in the contest. Therefore it became
necessary to resort to system Of tack
ing to keep her off the east shore.
Whenever she refused to head west
ward, she was kept off in northerly or
southerly direction, edging up to wind
ward as much as possible. Human
agencies finally triumphed, and, at the
expiration of thirty-four hours after
leaving Ludington harbor. the gallant
propeller steamed up Milwaukee river
and effected landing. The appear
ance of the craft after the terrible ordeal
through which she passed was grotesque
and decidedly suggestive of the Arctic
regions. From stem to stern her sides
were loaded with ice. Even the cabin
in it's full length was coated so that the
windows and their blinds were scarcely
visible. The shrouds of the main rig
glng were great cords of ice nearly to
the masthead; the wire stays of the
smoke-stack resembled four or five-inch
hawsers of the purest white; the hal
yards of the fag-stafs resembled snub-
bling lines. There were passengers on
board who represent that they suffered
greatly from the cold, Notwithstanding
an acknowledgements system for heat
ing the craft; and, if the passengers
suffered, the crew must have endured
untold hardship, although they did not
complain.

DR.. E. M. Snow, of Providence, r. T.,
in his last official report, asks the atten-
ton of the people of that city, and
especially of parents, to the following
facts: 4a,.5a
|. No case of diphtheria occurs with
out an adequate cause. This is self
evident. F"'f sf,
2. The cause of nearly all cases of the
disease exists in the houses or premises,
or within a few feet of the house where
the cases occur.
& 3. The cause of nearly all the cases
that occur in the city is breathing i'm
pure air from the privy vaults or sink
drains, or cesspools, or drinking impure
water. G
These observations, his long expert
ence satisfies him, says DR.. Snow, are
applicable in all cases, whether in the
tenement of the poor or the mansion
OF the rich; and we may add that the
remedy is obvious Disinfect your
privy vaults, sink-drains, cesspools, etc,
and boil your well-water before drink
ing it. This last precaution will give
but little trouble, and the water will
soon cool at this season of the year
without ice.

The Hog.Cholera Commission.

Congress having appropriated, at the
previous session, $4,000 to pay the ex-
penses of investigating the nature and
cause of the diseases prevalent among
swine, the Commissioner of Agriculture
appointed number of competent gen.

engaged in prosecuting their investiga-
tions, and have nearly all submitted ex-
tended reports, which have been care
fully collated and the results embodied
in report that will shortly be presented
to Congress. From these papers it ap-
pears that the identity of the disease in

THE MONETARY CRISIS.
Alexander. H. StephenSs Plan.


Mr.. Alexander II. Stephens, says a
Washington correspondent of Western
journal, is still of the opinion that the
country is going to the demnition bow
vows. He says the present is one of
the severest monetary crises the coun-
try has ever been called to pass through.
AS to the matter>o resumption, he says
he has nothing to say against it. "Let
it come, but, unless something is done
to relieve the distress of the people,
there will be terrible suffering" When
asked what measures of relief he would
suggest, Mr.. Stephens answered: II
would relieve the stringency by the is
suance of silver dollars, silver bullion
and gold bullion bars, and silver certifi-
Gates and gold certificates to an equal
amount. I have already embodied my
views in bill which is now in the pos
session of the Committee on Coinage,
Weights and Measures, and which, at
the earliest opportunity, shall present
to the House. This bill provides for
the unlimited issue of bullion; that is to
say, they are never to exceed the
amount of bullion, but they may exceed
the amount of coined money at any one
time in existence hundred-fold. The
trouble with the country is not in the
quality of it's money, but in it's quantity
People may talk as they will about
the desirability of paper dollar which
shall be at par with gold or silver. /
want dollars to be at par with each
other, but also want enough of them
to do the business of the country with.
There are not nearly enough of them
now, and hence the terrible stringency
in the labor markets of the world. NY
plan will entitle the holder of bullion,
gold or silver, to carry it to the Mint and
have it stamped and get his certificate
therefor, which certificates I would have
legal-tender money of value. It takes
no longer to stamp on bar of silver the
figures descriptive of it's weight, and
therefore value, than it does to stamp
dollar, and not so long. These certif-
Gates [ would make full legal tender, re-
ceivable for public and private debts.
The beauty Of my plan is that it will
act quickly. Large blocks of bullion
can at once be stamped, and the certi-
ticates issued in multiples of ST. 900, say,
or smaller, even down to fractions of
dollar. In this way we should not have to
wait for the slow and wearisome process
of coming the standard dollars. Two
or three hundred million dollars worth
of certificates could be issued in very
little while, and that amount of legal
tender injected into the great arteries
of trade will revive business as by a gal
vanic shock, and the reaction will be
entirely healthy, too"

MINORITY REPRESENTATION.

It is stated from Washington that "a
bill is being prepared having for its object MI
nority representation in Congress. twill prob
ably be introduced in the House soon after the
reassembling of Congress 1t proposes to have
the Legislature of each State, after the appor-
ionment of the next census, SO redistrlct the
State that the minority as well as the majority
will be entitled to representation. By this plan,
if carried out at the next election, supposlng
that there is no political change among the peo-
pie, the Democrats will have a small majority,
but all parts of the country alike will be repre-
sented by Republicans as well as Democrats
The plan is to divide each State into districts !;
thatthe districts may, as far as possible, be en-
titled to elect either three or five members
each thus permitting the majority OF the
voters to elect two out of three ,. or
three out of five. In case the dis
trict is entitled to three Representatives,
each elector can vote for two candidates and no
more In case the district is entitled to five
Representatives, each elector can vote for three
candidates, and no more. Where State is en-
titled to only two Representatives, as in the
case of Rhode Island and Florida, it is to be
divided into two districts, each electing one
member, as at present, as in this case majority
and minority representation would be impossi-
ble In all cases where there is an odd repre-
sentative after the State has been divided as
nearly as possible into districts to be repre-
sented by three or five members, separate
district is to be apart for this Representative,
who is to be elected as at present The effect
of this bill will be to secures to the colored peo
pie representation in Congress. 1t is argued
that if it we're passed it would remove the oh
jections raised by Senator Blaine to the present
lack of representation of the colored population

The National Militia.

The plan for the organization of a
National Guard of the United States
has been drawn up by Gen. Geo. B.
Mcclellan, Gen. Hancock, of the Uni
ted States army, Gen. Couch, of Massa-
chusetts, and Gen. W. B. Franklin, AID.
jutant General of Connecticut. The
following comprise the most important
details OF the measure:
The annual appropriation for the
militia shall be increased from 100000
to 100000, and, in addition, there
shall be an appropriation of $1,000,000
for the purchase of arms, ammunition
and equipments of the latest patterns,
to be divided pro rata among the regu-
larly-organized militia of the several
States. The proper apportionment
shall be made under the direction of a
board of five officers, two regular and
three from the National Guard, one
from each of the great divisions of the
country, East, West and South. The
officers will be appointed by the Presi-
dent, upon the recommendations of the
Governors from the three great natural
divisions of the country above named:
They shall have the pay of the officers
of equal grade in the regular army
while in such service.
The regular officers shall be detailed
by the. proper authority, and the senior
officers shall not be of less rank than
Brigadier General. This board shall
prepare system of regulations for the
uniform organization of the militia,
which shall be issued to the States.
Each State accepting the money and
arms allotted to it by the board shall
furnish it's soldiers with uniforms and
equipments. The uniform thus adopt
ed shall be the fatigue dress of the mill
tia and must be worn when the COM
mand are called out for active service,
and at such other times as the Cover
nors of the States may direct. The

and worn on all other occasions The
President shall assign, from officers of
the rank of Brigadier General On the
retired list who are capable Of perform
ing such duty, ten Inspectors of Militia,
whose duty it shall be to make annual
inspections. ags. .3.
It is also intended that each State
shall put up rife-range and appoint
an officer to superintend rife practice
and the Federal Government is to offer

ment in each State which shall show the
most proficiency in drill and discipline.

THE BLAINE INVESTIGATION.

A Washington dispatch of Dec.27 says
"The Teller-Blaine Committee met yesterday,
formally acknowledged that they are powerless
on account of want of funds, and adjourned to
meet at the call of the Chairman There can
be little doubt that, SO far as any practical in
vestigation goes, the neglect to provide an ap-
preparation will result in the defeat of the en-
tire inquiry. Senator Blaine, in the course of
his argument in support of the investigation,
urged that if the inquiry was to have any value
the committee must proceed South immediate
ly and do the greater portion of it's work dur
ing the recess 1t has become necessary
to pursue different course, and it is
generally conceded that the result will
be seriously to cripple, if not entirely to defeat
purposes of investigation. The main reason
for this is, of course, a reliance upon the
$4,000 appropriation supposed to be available,
but, aside from that, and apart from strictly
Democratic opposition, the checks upon the
investigation have been twofold First, the
jealousy between rival Presidential candidates
in the Senate. Second, the traditional hostility
that conservative body to a new member
and an unwillingness on the part of the oldest
Senators to permit a new man to take the lead
anything Added to this is the desire on
the part of some Republicans not to reopen the
Southern question" ..l '..
A Washington telegram of the Both
nit says "the opinion of the First Comptroller
of the Treasury as to the use of $4,000 for the
Blaine committee has finally been overruled,
acting Attorney General Phillips deciding that
under fair construction of the law the Senate
can use the appropriation for any investigation
whatever. Blaine's Teller investigation will i'm
mediately proceed and sub committee will be
either sent to South Carolina and Louisiana. or
prominent witnesses will be summoned here,n

Blood q Cure for Rheumatism.

Henry Stanley, resident Of Antioch,
has suffered severely since June last
with rheumatism. From strong, ro-
bust man, he was reduced almost to a
skeleton; the joints, especially Of the
knees, were stiff and swollen, the cords
and ligaments contracted, and the case
was altogether serious one. Some one
of the butcher boys suggested to STAN
ley the idea of bathing in and drink
ing blood. He was taken to McMas-
ter's slaughter-house and treated &C.
cordingly with the most astonishing
results. Placed in position to receive
the warm sunshine, his limbs were
bathed in warm blood, fresh from the
slaughtered animals; as soon as the
blood was dried upon his legs they were
wrapped in fresh sleeps pelt, another
being bound across the back: he also
drank freely of beef blood. In two
days after commencing this treatment
Stanley discarded the use of his
crutches, and is apparently sound
man. He has the full use of his limbs,
the swelled joints are in natural state,
and he daily gains rapidly in strength.
This is to us new remedy, and wheth-
er like results would follow in all cases
of rheumatism is matter of conjecture,
but it has accomplished wonders for
Stanley.-A1atioch Ledger.
