TWO CENT POSTAGE.

On and after the first of October ordi-
nary letter postage to all points in the
United States and Canada will be only
two cents. 1t was thought at one time
that the law kept the postage on letters
to Canada at three cents, but the de-
partment has decided that the two cent
rate applies to letters mailed in the
United States for Canada as we'll as to
those for home postOtfices. The Cana
dian authorities are, however, said not
to be pleased with our reduction. They
appqehend that it will compel reduc-
ton i'm Canadian rates which they fear
they are nqt prepared for.
The department at Washington has
begun to pript the new stamps so that
they will be ready for delivery in time
to Accommodate the people. The fate
Of the zanzibar three cent stamp is
sealed. After October it will not be ia.
sued, although it will be received for
postage until outstanding supplies are
exhausted.
The department has not yet promised
toredsem surplusstOeks ofthese stamps,
held on hand by pOstmssters when the
laWgOes into effect but will probably
10 so, although the clerical work in-
VOWED will be enormous, and will ne
cessitate special increase in the force
OF clerks, for which there is at present
no appropriation. Hence, postmssters
have been admonished to Laye as small
i supply on hand as possible. and the
department exercises its discretion in
Glling acquisitions where excessive de-
mands are made.
There will be considerable interest to
see how the new law will operate.
When q sealed letter can be sent for two
cents, will not there be a falling of in
the use ofpostal cards? 1t seems likely
that there wiz be.
Then, too, 1t is probable there will be

THE SOUTH OF TO-DAY.

In a recent issue, that enterprising
journal, the New Orleans Times-Demo-
crat, published an extended report of
the present condition and prospects of
all the Gulf States, Arkansas and Ten
nessee, together with interviews with
the Governors of all these States, in re-
gard to the interests of the Common
wealths OF which they are the executive
officers. This report deserves to be read
in full, but even q summary Of 1t may
prove Of value to our readers, in helping
on their comprehension Of the great
social, industrial and commercial move
ments and enterprises that are now oe'
cupying the attention and the energies
of the people of the South to- day. The
whole is summarized very briefly by
the Times as follows. 1t is shown by
these reports:
That the South has at last learned the
value Of its mineral and forest wealth,
long hidden and neglected, but now
happily being developed and utilized;
That it fully appreciates the advant-
ages of diversified industries, especially
Of manufactures;
That it has abandoned its old, loose
and Careless system of agriculture,
planting a smaller acreage, cultivaLing
more thoroughly and not mOrtgaging
crops a year in advance, as of old;
That the negroes are prosperous, con-
tented with the new regime, working
satisfactorily and improving their con.
ditiOn;
That the Importance of public schools
is recognized, and heavy school tax
everywhere willingly voted, and that
the Southern schools now compare IA
vorably with those of any other portion
of the country.
Alabama is rapidly developing mines
of coal and iron that are making it the
Pennsylvania of the South. Georgia is
at once the New York and Massachu-
sets of this region, having taken the
lead in the commercial and manufac-
turing departments of industry. Ar
kansas is rapidly paying off its debt, and
has almost doubled its railroad mileage
in two years. Florida has redeemed
millions of acres of swamp land, and
turned them into fertile fields and or
chards. q Tennessee, Mississippi and
Louisiana are hopeful and full Of new
spirit, and Texas-well, everybody
knows that Texas has grown faster and
developed at a more astonishing and
unprecedented rate than any other
State in the Union. 1t has built more
miles of railway and started more viii
lagos and cities, and fed more cattle in
a year than would make respectable
State. 1t has given its school fund a
territory larger than New York or Penn
sylvania. Its Treasury is so full that
the Legislature meets this year in extra
session solely for the purpose of reduc-
ing taxation.
This is a grand record, and the Times
has done a service to the North as well
as the South, in putting it before the
public. 1t may safely be said that more
has been done during the past year by
the men, the newspapers and the cor
POI ations of the new South toward help
ipg the rest OF the Union and the world
in general to understand their spirit,
their enterprises, their needs, and their
hopes, purposes, and aspirations, than
has been done in any other five or even
ten years since the war.

many more printed circulars sent under
the new rates under seal than at pres
emit. A sealed circular generally conn
mands more attention than an open
one, and advertisers may avail them
selves of that advantage. 1t isreason-
able, also, to suppose that the volume
of letter mails will be much increased
by the deduction Of one-third in the
cost. Ifall these expectations are real
lied, 1t will turn out that the new law
was both wise and timely; and what
ever may be the result of the first quar-
ter or two, the people will soon become
educated up to cheap postage and use
the mails to such an extent as to pay
the government for the reduction.

THE way in which DORSEY got hold
of the letters which he is now turning
to account against the Republican party
is rather characteristic. In the winter

records home with him, that he wanted

ing chairman sent on the documents,
which DoRSEY has chung to with a

bugle to his lips aud sounded the key

The statistics lately published by
the Journal Ot6ciel concerning the
number of foreigners in France are
interesting. When the last census
was taken, in 1881, the population OF
France amounted to 3,,4O5, 900 souls,
which number, compared with the pop
ulation of the country in 1876, shows
an increase Of about 100000 souls
OF this increase 100000 are foreign
crs. The total number of foreigners
is now three per cent. of the whole
population, but in some department.
the proportion of foreigners is mucf
larger, reaching in some seven ant
even eight per cent. Of the inhabi
tants.
