Mail Matter Held for Postage.

The postmaster general yesterday issued an
order, to take effect on the first of July next,
with respect TO what is known as "held for
postage" matter. Tho order provides that
whenever any letter prepaid at less than
one full rate of postage, or any parcel of
third or fourth class matter not fully prepaid,
aud being otherwise mailable, is deposited at
postotlice of the first second, or third class
and consigned to any other postoflice within
the United States, it shall be the duty Of the
postmaster to send to the addressee an official
postal card containing a notice of the deten-
tion, and a request to remit the proper amount
Of postage to enable the letter or parcel to To
forwarded to its destination.
This provision applies only to matter which
does not bear the card or address of the sender
Such card matter should be returned imme-
diately to the party mailing it, as prescribed
by existing regulations"
The law requires that letters prepaid with
less than one full rate, and third and fourth
class matter not fully prepaid, shall be sent
to the dead letter Office, but under this order
where the sender Is not known the addressee
is to be given an opportunity of paying the
deficient postage, and of receiving tho matter
direct from the mailing office. This plan has
been tried for nearly year past at the letter
carrier offices with most satisfactory results !;
the statistics showing that more than so per
cent. of the addresses notified have responded
with the postage. The success of the expert
ment has induced the postmaster general to
extend the system to all the presidential

the sentiment by which in any community

Of such a crime as Dunn committed, beoome es
not only possibility, but is complacently ex-

to excite dismay.
The trouble seems TO he peculiar to no state
or section. 1t lies in a kind of inability to
separate the man from tho act. Consldera-
lions of social or political standing and
weight have come to cut moro figure in the

act itself or tho character of tho act

a democrat of considerable prominence

A Piece OF Litigation which Hos RE-
Gently Demanded Hon. John g. News
Attention In Indiana.
Col. John G. New, assistant secretary Of
the treasury, has returned from Indiana
where ho has been for the past fow days In
attendance upon ono Of the most vexatious Of
law suits. In the fall Of 1880, when CJl. New
was chairman ofthe state campaign committee,
suit was instituted against him by his brother,
DR.. GeorgeW. New, for $4,000, alleged to have
been wrongfully withheld from him in the
settlement Of certain money transactions be-
tween the brotlors which arose during the
war, and which were finally settled in March,
1867, and that had gone undisturbed from
that time until tho FIJI of 1850 without ques.
tion on the part of tho plaintiff The claim
was understood TO have been grounded on
nothing more substantial than a purely imag-
mary grievance and among those who knew
Of the relations existing between the
brothers and who wero acquainted with
tie men and tho circumstances.
tho bringing of the action excited only pity
for the plaintiff and sympathy for the de
fondant An attempt was made to manu-
facturo political capital out of the suit, but
the effort fell still born, though the talk may
have created prejudice against the do
fendnnt among those who were not familiar
The case has dragged on for two years and
half. Col. New has made several efforts to
press IL to trial. but IL was STAYED or re-
peatedy. A change of vonuo was taken, first
in one county and then in another, but few
days ago IL came to a trial in Noblesville,
Hamilton county, Ind, and II was shown by
incontrovortable evidence that instead of
owing the doctor anything he had actually
paid him $33l0.7o more than he had received,
according TO tho plaintiffs own OK.
hibit. Tho settlement, which had been
made as before stated, In 1867,
was found TO have been regular in all its de-
tails, and tho jury brought in verdict for
the defendant after very brief considera-
tion of tho testimony. Col. John Q. New's
vindication was complete, and ho is to DO
congratulated on tho happy termination of
what evil disposed persons did their level
best to magnify and dstort into very nasty
case. Col New was represented by ex-Sena-
tor Joseph 4. Mcdonald and Senator Daniel

Tidal Wave DIisfits.
Inter Ocean.


The alleged political revolution of 1882 gave
New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Con-
neoticut, Kansas, and Michigan each Il tidal
wave or democratic governor. Cleveland in New
York, Pattison in Pennsylvania, Butler in Massa-
chusetts, Begole in Michigan, aud Click in Kan
sas were elected by independent or kicking re-.
publicans, aud II will be remembered that fer
weeks amer the election every sorehead republi-
can in the land was pointing with pride TO the
legend 81 did It," while he was then anxious
that every one should read and remember.
The tidal wave governors have now been on
trial for several months, and, far us the repub
llcans are concerned, they have been treated with
great forbearance. Ifthe fellows who invented
this new variety of governor were satisfied and the
democrats happy In possession OF the spolls there
seemed no good reason why republicans should
worry themseles about the matter, aud they have
not done 80.
Tho complaints como from another quarter.
The people most disappointed are the republicans
who voted for democrats under a mistaken sense
OF duty or under the spur OF petty resentment.
The growls and grumbles come most from the
stiff Jointod imprRcticables who love to call them
selves independents, and who affect a consclen.
lious deyo,i ion to reform methods. The democrats
who voted the straight ticket have no reason To
complain except In the case Of Butler, who, of all
the tidal wave governors, is the only one who has
been true to title.

Frederick Douglass.

If there is any man, woman, or child Of the
black race who does not look with affection,
as well as admiration and respect, upon the
good, gray head Of tho illustrious man whose
name is written above, it is because of want
of information as to his history, or because
Of bias on some passing question which
obseures the observers view of his char
acter Mr.. Douglass has come down TO
us from former generation. He was CO.
worker, as ho was the peer, of Garrison, Phil
lips, Parker, Garrett, and the rest who for
the twenty years preceding tho civil war
cried out like tho prophets Of old against the
great wrong Of the age, But for the agitation
of tho slavery question maintained by them
there would have been no republican party
no check upon slavery, no emancipation,
and no enfranchisoment Of the blacks. The
flaming zeal and burning oloqu.nce Of these
pioneers aroused what little cVIscioheo was
left in the north, and little by little
the cause Of Human Rights pressed forward
until property in man became odous to
millions who had not the moral courage 70
say so. Men impatient of difference CT
opinion, or misapprchending the turn of a
sentence, may chafe at the temerity of Mr..
Douglass in joining in a re- ommend ton for
colored convention, but IL is not becoming
in young m'n for whose freedom he p,ead at
considerable peril before they were born to
accuse him Of lack of fidelity to what ho deems
the best interests Of his race He is not iufalli
BILE, but he is honest He is as staunch
republican, in these days when negroes are
pursued for tLsir votes by some who have no
other interest in them, as ho was au abcli
zionist when negroes wers pursued TO be ro.
turned to the slavery from which they had
fed. Frederick Douglass is tho most eminent
American in whoae veirs courses African
blood. Ho is clear of head and sound ofhcart.
The welfare of the colored race Is the dearest
object of his life. 1t is not necessary that any
who disagree with him as to holding con.
vontion should accuse him of sinister mo-
which may NEE. he will naturally be con.
spicuous figure. No Judgment cooler and no
tongue more eloquent than his can bo found
to warn the republican party of the conse-
quences of falling under the control of men
who shout for the negro in every cam
paign, and conspre with his worst foes
when in Office. The republican party
will be sure to have the support of Nc.
Douglass, and Of the coored race generally,
if it deserves it. But if in tho future, as it
has sometimes done in tho past, it should
fall under the control of mon who fear bot. =
bon ccnsure more than they desire tho ap-
proval Of the black race and its friends, the
law Of self.preservation will teach the
colored voters whether it is better to trust
the southern bourbon himself, or his pros
trate lackey who apologies to him for
seeming to be a republican.

Mail Contract Decision.

The first comptroller of the treasury has
rendered decision in the Reside appeal
case, which involves the right of the United
States after payment is made TO u contractor
for quarters service in carrying mails, to
deduct from compensation due him for serv-
ices thereafter performed the price OF trips
SO paid for as performed, when in fact not
performed, md not exceeding three times the
price for faiiure TO perform said trips, oc-
casioned by fault cf the contractor. The
comptroller decides that when cSn-
tractor for carrying the mails fails to per-
form trip in any quarter, in whc.a
or in part, or renders inferior seryi .
the whole price of the trip may be deducted
from his compensation for such quarter un-
less the contract for service requires partial
payment for so much of the trip as has been
performed. He holds that when an account
for the services of contractor for carrying
mails has been finally settled for u quarter,
and payment has been made to him of the
amount found due by the settlement with
out fraud on his part, and it Is sub
sequent.y ascertained that ho failed to
perform tr ps during such quarter for
which no deduction was made, deduc-
ton cannot be made in the settle
ment Of the account for services of sub5e-
quept quarter of the price Of such trips not
performed. But in the settlement of such
subsequent account deductions may be made
for failures to perform trips during previous
quarter when such failures occurred by the
fault of the contractor or carrier, and when
the subject of such deductions was not pre-
v'Ousiy considered and decided. The decision
IS favorable TO the appellant, although it only
sustains his appeal in part.

Curious Discoveries IN ohio.


The curious discoveries in the exploration of
the altar mounds in Anderson township, Ham
ilton county, Ohio, are made all the more in
torosting by the fact that native gold has for tho
first time, been found in the mounds. Among
numerous ornaments unearthed, including
those of mica, shell, bears teeth, stone, cop
per, iron, and silver, was ono small copper
pendant covered with a thin sheet of gold.
Other copper ornaments were covered with
hammered sheets Of native silver, aud the
hammered metal bracelets, the large. spool
shaped earrings, the terra Gotta figures re.
vealing the peculiar methods of weaving the
hair, show that the fashionable young
woman of Madison square is not so
far apart in chronological interest from
the mystic maidens of the altar
mounds as she might suppose. Moreover, in
thousands of objects of interest obtained in
these mounds, there are ornaments which in
point of novelty are not rivaled, for there
are ear ornaments made of meteoric iron,
plated with iron, A serpent cut out of mica,
an animal carved from stone, three hundred
astragoli Of the deer and elk, apparently col
lected for some important reason, and unique
objects in micaceous schist obsidian chal-
cedony and ebert were found upon these
quaint altars. Bit by bit, as the leafy mould
is taken OFF the foot prints of time, there
seems to come out of darkness glimpses of a
cultured race that passed over this continent
before the North American Indians came
here, burying their dead in stone boxes along
the Ohio, where they arc now being un-
earthed, and ornamenting their persons with
peculiar and precious metals.

Commissioner OF Internal Revenue.

The President late yesterday afternoon ap-
pointed Walter Evans, of Louisville, KY,
commissioner of internal revenue in place OF
Green b. Raum, resigned.
Mr.. Evans is a lawyer of ability, and is
we'll known in the politics Of his state. He
was at one time q law partner of Benjamin II.
Bristow, in Hopkinsville, KY, and was q
Bristow man at the convention in 1876. In
1880 he, was delegate to the Chicago conven-
tion and was one Of the 306 who supported
Gen. Grants candidacy. In 1870 he was a
candidate for governor of his state ON the re-
publican ticket. He has not heretofore held
office. He and Postmaster General Gresham
are warm personal friends. The appointee
qualified and was sworn in yesterday at
Louisville, the occasion for the haste being
that tho ten days for which an acting COM
missioner of internal revenue could be ap
pointed expired yesterday, and it was neces-
sary that the commissionership should at
once be filed.
