1 POSTMASTER GENERAL GRESHAM is making many changes in the Postoiiice l Department besides squelching the
 lottery frauds. He has issued an order changing the postage on number of
 articles which have heretofore been
 rated as third class or printed matter, | paying postage rate of one cent for every two ounces, Under this order these articles will be hereafter classified as merchandise or fourth class matter, upon which the postage is one cent per ounce. The following is the text of the order: "The character of a paper as an article of merchandise, within the mean ing of the postal laws, IS not necessarily changed by printing or stamping there on certain words, letters, characters, figures, images, or any combination thereof; aud tables, patterns, photO- graphs, playing cards, visiting cards, address tags, pager sacks, wrapping paper with printed advertisements there on; bill heads letter heads, envelopes, and other material of the same general character, the printing upon which is not designed to instruct. amuse or cul- hvate the mind or taste, or impart gem eral information, are mere articles of merchandise and will be rated as fourth class matter"

THE president makers get up some very queer combinations. One day we are informed that Arthur is very strong w.th the people, aud the next day some other maker informs us thu, he is out of the question. Then some one brings up Logan or Robert Lincoln and inform the public according to their preferen- ces-tbat one or the other of these gentlemen is the only man who can unite the party. This kind of talk is not confined to the republican party, but ihe democratic wiseacres are equally as industrious in informing the pubic of the strong points of the men who can lead them on to victory. Carlysle and Rosecrnns are now declared the coming men. on the Bourbon side of the house. But these speculations amount to n thing, vet the wires will be employed from this time on to the holding of the conventions, in telling tue people some thing they know as little about as the backwoodsmen of Arizona.
