The NEW POSTAGE STAMPS - The
Postmaster General has just awarded the
contract for the supply of stamps to the
Department for the ensuing four years to
the National Bank Note Company of New
York. The new stamps will be somewhat
smaller than those in use at present, but
they are of superior style and finish, with
no vclty in design. The two cent stamp
contains an engraving of post boy on
horseback in full speed. The three cent
has a locomotive under full head of steam,
the great carrier of our domestic service.
The FIVE cent stamp contains head of
Washington. The ten cent, the finest of
all in design. and execution, has a miniature
engraving of the Declaration of Independ-
eDce: executed with such oclicacy and pre-
cision that the picture suffers nothing un-
der the magnifying glass. The twelve cent
stamp has an ocean steamship, and the
thirty cent has finely executed engraving
of the surrender of Burgoyne. When it is
considered that over a million stamps are
Issued daily, the importance of this con
tract is at once evident.

AN IMPORTANT QUESTION. The Paris
wits have not done yet with Marshal Mel,
who sought the other day to prove that
the forced celibacy to which the army is
subjected for six years greatly contributes
to the general welfare, He denied that
the marriageable girls in France had any
reason to complain that the conscription
deprived them of eligible husbands. He
laid down that the young men rejected by
the military boards of inspection as unfit
for soldiers, through the loss Of one eye,
Of several teeth, other bodily inirmlties
and weaknesses of constitution, were not
Ey reason of these disadvantages unfit for
marriage. Never perhaps in French
assembly has marriage been so severely
reduced to simple question of the resrc-
duction of the species. Can one-armed,
one-eyed young men produce healthy
children ? Yes, says science. The ques-
tion is then settled, and what have the
young girls to complain of? Such is the
argument of Marshal Mel Man is re-
productive animal and nothing more.

From the proceedings of the Republican
State Convention, we judge that it was
one of the most harmonious that ever
assembled for the purpose of making
party nominations. The Hon. Luther S.
Dixon, had majority of the votes cast
on the informal ballot, and was declared
the unanimous nominee of the party for
reelection to the Office of Chief Justice
of the Supreme Court This nomination
will no doubt be satisfactory to the party
and receive the endorsement of the bar
and the people. Judge Dixon is man
of good legal information, and added to
this, an experience Of eight years on the
Supreme bench, makes him a person
peculiarly well qualified for the position
His decisions have generally been endors
ed by the legal profession.


For Associate Justice, Hon. Byron
Paine, of Milwaukee, received the COM
pliment of a nomination by acclamation
Since he has occupied the position, he

recognized the Importance of insuring
stability in our court of last resort by
avoiding frequent changes in the Judges

citizens, express admirably the senti-

With the exception of half dozen
redhot Democratic journals, of the Brick
Pomeroy pattern, the press accept the
impeachment without excitement, and
discuss it with commendable calmness.
Most of the Democrtic papers strive to
make it appear as partisan act, and ar
que. or rather charge, that it is Repub
hcan flank movement in anticipation of
the grand contest In November. Here
and there, Copperhead like The Hcrttord
Times, trantically screams in alarmlngly
large type, "We are in state of revolu-
ton j. But no one appears to be frigh
ened, and even the writer's of such para
graphs pursue their usual routine of life
in biissful ignorence of the dreadful
crisis that has been precipitated upon
u.s. OF course this is cry little bit of
buncombe intended to affect the New
Hampshire election. Nine tenths of all
the newspapers that have spoken upon
the matter fail to discover any serious
cause for anxiety; the Republican journ-
ais are almost without exception, glad
that affairs have come to the point where
settlement must follow, and the Demo
Gratis, while begging the question By char
sing partisan feeling as the sole cause OF
bringing 1t on, are apparently no less
willing than the other side to have fn-
al adjucation.


As for the threatened panic; it does
not exist Here and there we find wild
looking individual who seems to think
the President to be sort of very sacred
Josh, high above the reach of common
mortals, and that even proposition to
call him to account is something dreadful,
an act which should bring upon the per-
pctrators the tightening of heaven. But
these superstitious editors are few and
far between. The general sentiment of
the press is that necessary act has been
done, and whatever the result of the tri-
al may be, there is now nor is it probable
there be any excitement beyond the ex
traordinary interest that the trial of a
President viii necessarily evoke. AS for
revolutions, and armed legions, and blood
shedding, and Dictators, and business


panics. and ina .cialruin, and social chaos,

From the moment the House of Repre-
sentatives decided upon Impeachment,
the question was removed beyond news
paper discussion. We have long felt the
necessity and have earnestly labored for
the removal of Andrew johnson from
the Presidential chair A man who as
sumes to be the legislative, the judiciary
and the executive part of the government
combined, was in our opinion no fit man
to be President of our great Union, and
hence we claim that as Impeachment now
rests with the high court, reconstruction,
and peace will speedily follow.


Ever since the assassination of Presi-
dcnt Lincoln the unrepentant rebels have
grown bolder from day to day until it
eliminated in the massacre at Memphis
and New Orleans and an open defiance
of the law of Congress. Whenever a
soldier like Sheridan, OF Sickles, or Pope
really attempted to carry out the laws of
the land, he was disgracefully driven
from the field and tools like Hancock were
appointed to do the dirty work of Andrew
johnson. The Reconstruction of the
late rebel States began to be dcspared of,
and men grew weary I'd sick when medi
tating over the deplorable prospects.
Through the direct influence OF President
johnson reconstruction has been delayed
in every southren state Thousands of
acres Of land are left without cultivation.
Their owners have no money and men of
the north who have and would gladly 60
down and make the dreary looking fields
blossom like those of New York, Illinois
or Wisconsin, dare not take the risk. The
business and prosperity Of the entire
country has been seriously effected. and
all Is directly traceable to the hands
of Andrew johnson. Impeachment and
nothing else will straighten out matters
With the removal Of 4. j. from the
Presidential chair, the reconstruction Of
the southern states will speedily follow,
and prosperity restored generally.
There will be no disturbance, no war
