When the rate of letter postage was re- duced ill 1845 and again in 1851 there was temporary decline in the receipts, and it was expected that the adoption of two-cent letter postage at the beginning of last Oc- tober, would result in large decline of the earnings of the postal department. The surplus revenue of the last fiscal year was $2, ,691 ,992, and it has been expected that the present year will show consider able deficiency as the result of the reduc- ton of the rate. A report as to the bus mess of certain post-ofices during the first quarter of two-cent letter postage places the decline of receipts at only 1.3 per cent, and at the same rate the decline for the whole country would only be $519, ,612, the total receipts for the last fiscal year having been $45, ,508, ,692. In other words, the first year of two-cent letter postage would show surplus of more than $2,OOO, 900. If it ends without deficiency of that amount there will be no regret that the change was made.

The wonderful restoring and renovating properties of Hoods Sarsaparilla, combined with it's power to build up the system, eradi- cate scrofula, and cleanse the blood of all humors, make it the best family medicine that can be devised; and as a protection from diseases that originate in changes of the seasons, of climate, and of life, it cannot be excelled. If you are suffering from scrofula, salt-rheum, or any other obnoxious humor, Hoods Sarsaparilla will bring you relief.

George Turner, ex-United States marshal
for the southern and middle districts of Ala
bama, was examined yesterday by the COM
mittee investigating the expenses of the de-
partment Of justice. Mr.. Turner said he had
no confidence in the department. The attor-
ney general, he asserted, had done many un-
Just things, but the witness believed that
they were done under the malignant in
fluence of small officials, headed by Mr..
Brewster Cameron. In reference to the con-
duct of examiners from the department of
Justice, Mr.. Turner said that in Ala
bama they had attempted to make
people whether guilty or innocent.
The ex-marshal denied the assertions of Ex-
aminer Ballin that conspiracy had existed
in Alabama for the removal of United States
District Attorney Smith in order that Mr..
Turner might be appointed. He said that
Mr.. Ballin had no evidence that would lead
to such an inference. Mr.. Turner asserted
that District Attorney Smith had not given
general satisfaction to republicans and they
had asked tho President and attorney gem
eral to nominate the witness for the position.
Tho examiner, Mr.. Turner said, had gone
into the state with the express purpose of
"whtewashng" District Attorney Smith,
and had refused to send to the department
statements derogatory to him. Members of
tho grand Jury were credited with informing
Mr.. Turner OF the action Of Examiner Ballin.
