It U new very generally understood
that the bill Increasing the po'lnjre,
pued at the last stsslou of Congress,
waa MJMd unintentionally and Inadvert
ently ; and as the Postmaster General has
recommended a reduction to the ohl rate,
(one cent postage- Tor each paper, or half
of the present rate), and as the people and
newspaper publishers havo been long
clatuoriag for a reduction, there appears
to be no deubt that this will ltu nculo
probably even before the rejournment for
the holidays.

A few days ago two hutulrt-d Metho
dlst preachers, headed by a Methodist
Bishop, In convention nseniblud, re
solved that Gen. V. S. Grant ought to be
re-elected to the presidential olllce, which
be is now occupying the second eonsecii
tlve ttmo. Xot much has becu said about
this. Nast has not grasped ids pencil,
and no Republican editor has wielded his
ralghtyjpei to deaouuee this interference
ot the church with the- State. Tills is
tweedie dura.
But If two hundred Catholic priests
headed by a Catholic bishop should meet
and resolve that Gen. U. S. Gr.mt ought
not to be re-elected President, or that
some other mau ought to be, what u
long and loud shout would go up from
all the Radicals in, the laud! And the
shout of rebuke wotdd be precisely what
inch conduct on the part of priests would
deserve This Is tweedledec.
Why do the Republleans penult them
selves to smile upon tweedledum and
aud frown upon twccdlcde?

The destruction ol the steamer Deutsch
laid, when only twenty-four hours from
pert, Is one of those terrible marine dis
asters whloh throw around occau travel
a dread and a terror for all those whom
the pursuits of business or pleasure tako
upon the treacherous sea. On the 4th
Inst., the vessel lctt Brctuerhaven Uoads
with malls and two hundred and fifty
passengers for New York. Her crew
Husakered seventy-flve. On the fitli, the
grounded on a sand bar known' aa
iui 'iraiiuiter' or ifiiii ivvinfk-
Thames. All efforts to get kor off
were fruitiest. The details of her destruc
tion are brief : A heavy storm prevailed
at the time, and the weather was piercing
cold. The sea washed over the ship, car
rying away much of hergcar. Many of
the passengers perished in their births ;
otheri died in their eflort to pcape.
When It was evident that the bhlp was
about to break up, the order was given
to lower the boats, but the sea was

.. will not agala occupy the presidential
chair, ttto suggestion of HWUoy Anvcn
and his gallant two hundred ministers,
at the late Methodist Sunday School
Union, has arpused Mr. Grant's stub
bornness aud made active his patriotic
emotions. Alarmed by this clerical
movement to control the politics of the
country he stubbornly sets bis face
against the cflort to make Itiui a third
termer, and rebukes the bishop and his
followers, by telling them Church and
State should be kept apart and that his
church property ought te bo taxed.
Surely, a man flattered by the favor of a
powerful bishop of a powerful church
who promises to give him the church's
support to secure his re-election to the
presidency, would not say to tho bishop :
"Hands ofl ; let the church attend to its
duties aud the State to its," it ho did uot
se in this clerical movement a great
dsngcr.
Yfo may bo told that Grant did not
mean tho Methodists when he spoke of
Church aud State, but the Catholics.
Tills may be true, bat being credulous
we wish to believe ho meant ltlshop
llaveu. Any how, what he said in the
message Is a rebuke that may be appreci
ated m well where It was Intended to
strike as where It was noi. wt an 01t.
rago, this clerical Interference in politic,
that ought to be rebuked on all occasions,
and that Grant, the especial favorite of
ltlshop lUveu's religionists, has set the
example Is a good omen.

Tho "member ot the President's fam

that. Secretary llrlstow Is tho 'high oftlelal
In the Treasury department" Hut this
double-headed conspiracy story will not

would he no crime, except in the eyes of
Gen. Grant and his political family, ho
Is uot tho man to endeavor to

One of the subjects which will receive
early attention in Congress will, In nil
probability, be the Finance Hill, which
provides for tho resumption of spectu
payments on the llrst day of January,
lSifi. Some exciting debates may be an
ticlpatcd on this question, for the "Mia''
and "hard" money-men are nearly evenly
divided, and each side Is represented by
able advocates. The bill (which is in
three sections) provides iu Its llrt section
for the redemption of the tractloual cur
rency, aud for supplying Its place with
silver coin, of tho denominations of ten,
twcnty-llvo and fifty cents, of standard
Value. Its second section provides that
hereafter tho mints shall make no charge
for converting standard gold bullion Into
coin; aud Its third and Inst taction pro
vides : First, That eucli existing banking
association may increase its circulating
uotcs In accordance with existing law,
without respect to said aggregate limit ;
and now banking associations may be or
ganized in accordance with existing law,
without respect to wild nggregato limit.
Second, whenever an Increao of notes
shall bo called for, It will be the duty of
tho (secretary of the treasury to redeem
the legal tender United States notes, In
excess only of $.'100,000,000, to the amount
of 60 per cent, of tho sum of National
baak notes so Issued, to any such bank

of not less than fitly dollars.

Tho Stato of Ohio has sulVcrcd cxteu
slvcly from the trump nuisance. A State
convention to consider tho question, its
evils and its remedies, was held in Co
lumbus, Ohio, ou the Sth lust. Seventy
eight delegates, representing twenty-five
cities aud towns, were present. The ac
tion of tho convention is embodied in the
resolutions passed. It was resolved that
the only otllcicut remedy for the growing
vagrancy Is the establishment of work
houses la all tho cities ami towns sail!

tl' petty offenses: that
'tills system of workhouses, to bccflvctlvc,
must extend oyer tho whole Statu ; that
the furnishing of free transportation to
tramps from one point to another is disap
proved of; that after workhouses arc es
tablished, private charity to vagrants
should entirely cease, and that tho proper
authorities should bo authorized to em
ploy persons committed to workhouses
on the public highways, or nt other labor
ouUMc of workhouses.
No city or town In the Union suffers
more from the tramp nuisance than
Cairo. The poor but honest tramp ; the
impecunious fellow who is waiting for re
mittances which never come : the la.v
wretch who can work but will uot; the
"bummer" who ought to bo la Jail but
is not.; thu candidate tor the', penitentiary
WHOSO calling and cleclioa are sure
all these, and every other kind of the
tramp species, drop down naturally on
Cairo. They como sometimes singly,
sometimes iu squads. Many ot them
come periodically, like tho equinoctial
siorm or nign water. certain tea-
sons bring tho same tramps to
our snores. Many of them berr:
more of them steal. As a con
sequence, city and county Jail
arc often full of prisoner'--, not one
of whom, perhaps, can lay a just claim
to citizenship in Cairo or Alexander
county. The trials of this class of malefac
tors uro an enormous drain upon the reve
nues of the county, aud arc an expendi
ture of funds which arc only a negative
benefit at best to the people of the city
aud county. Tho establishment of a work
house at Cairo, on the plan proposed by
the Ohio convention, would beu measure
of relief to this locality, and an antidote to

needs only iuum., to be proved thor
oughly ettectual. Tho lazy tramps
would stay away from Culro. The
thieving tramps would give us a wldo
berth and pursue their peculiar avocations
elsewhere. We are heartily In favor of
the work-houso plan ofturnlng the trump
Into a laborer, and would like to seo It
experimented on In Cairo as early as elr
cumstinecs will permit.

leak still exists for the. benefit of tho rln
nt the capitol. The telegram from Pier-
repolnt was followed by others during
the day, each apparently widening the
breach between the counsel fortho prose
cution of the whiskey ca;cs here and the
asiiingion auinoriiies, uen. Hender
son received n telegram addressed to him
personally, later lu the day, lrotn t.eu
Pierrepont, asking: "Did your speech
in me a very trial cast any aspersions on
inc rresiucnt."
lu the meantime. Col. Dver and Mr
Luclcn Eaton sctit lor thu otllcial r tenog-
rapberand had him go over his notes
witn them at .such places as Wuiicral lieu-lor.s,euJiAlt4rieii"rdhrr-7i7e.-irieriT:
l hey had tnosu portions careiuiiy writ
ten and forwarded them by mall lat
night, informing General Pierrepont by
telegraph of their action and telling lih'u
tney iieiiuveti mat upon invctiigatioi
(here would bu found nothing in Oeu
Henderson' speech to warrant his re
nioval from tho cute. They stood bv
their associate counsel, llriuly endorsing
oy implication an mat nu nan ram.
At a lato hour last night Gen. 11 coder
son forwarded his reply by telegraph to
mu aitoniey-generai ns follows: "I it:
tended no rellcctloii upon the pretlduii
in the Averv trial, but I stand by uiv
speech and liave no apologies to make.'
Iu the rather limited circle to which the
knowledge ol this telegraphic correspond
cuco was conllned lust night, there was
no end to astonishment aad speculation.
Few believed that the reol eauo oi thu
sudden change of baic at Washington
grew out of Henderson's speech in thu
Avery trial. Thu plansible explanation
is that the President lias at last drawn
thu Hue ot limit for thu whisky pro-ecu-tion,
and that Henderson falls a victim to
his zeal in pushing thu prosecution
right into tho executive miiuMon.
Secretary llristow and Attorney
General Pierrepont, it would seem
Irom appearances had yielded to iim
president, but men, It Is claimed, who
likvu in-cn quietly dosing Grant to politi
cal ueatu witu sour masii Know their
business now, Tho broach between tho
St. Louis counsel and Jlrutow ami Pier
repont is believed to exist only for np
pcarauce sake. A very .slgnillcaiit tele
gram hearth out thl theory, canto over
the wires yesterday to Col. Dver from
Bluford Wil-on, tho solicitor of tho treas
ury. Itbrielly summed thasituatiou at
Washington, nnd closed with tho words :
