that the Senate committee on
bill has reported the House
appropriation bill, with an
I thereto, prohibiting the trans
mail of any free matter what
xcepting newspaper exchanges,
other modifications of the sys
have no fears that this auiend
be passed by Congress. The
3 been unsuccessfully made too
beforo in tho interests of a news
opoly which may bo desirable
despotic form of government,
n a republic,
should be Imtitled an anti-edu
oject, or one for tho suppres
jrmation among the people, as
the diminution of postal reve
government. There are now
thousand newspapers m the
ates [and territories of the
tes, with an average circulation
c ipies each. The rate of postage on these
has been fixed by law at thirty-five cents
a quarter for dailies and five cents
for weeklies, to be paid in ad
vance by the subs:ribers at
the offices of delivery. Allowing three
fourlhs of this number to be weeklies, the
revenue derived to the department frwn
newspaper circulation alone would reach
between live and six millions of dollars
annually, a very considerable portion of
which would be cut off by the amendment
proposed.
Every newspaper man understands the
difficulties in tin- way of starting a daily or
weekly journal, and working it up to a
paying circulation in these days. It re
quires ten times the capital it did thirty
years agp, and it may be safely said that
two-thirds of the newspapers in the United
States are still struggling to get them
selves up to a paying basis. With all
these the prepayment of l e.tage
upon exchanges would be an ad
ditional hardship which they could ill af
ford lo bear. The provincial journals re
ceive as a general thing from fifty to sixty
exchanges, mostly confined to their own
states, while they circulate from one thou
sand to fifteen hundred papers through the
mails. The meager benefit they derive
from receiving their exchanges free of
charge through the mails, is a very small
return for the advantages extended by them
to the postal department, to say nothing of
the public. And these provincial journals
are among the best educational expedients
to which the government can resort to
foster intelligence and virtue among the
people. They give the most desirable in
formation that can ba imparted—that
of the more immediate neighborhoods
and communities in which they are pub
lished—and their moral tone is generally
higher and more healthful than that of
the metropolitan press. They arc, in
fact, the great educators of the people, and
without tliein public intelligence and virtue
would lack one of their chief incentives.
This proposition, which originally came
from the metropolitan press, is designed to
cripple the immediate organs of the
people, and force a circulation
which shall be entirely independent of the
communities in which they are read, and
with scarcely a tie of interest in common
between publisher and reader. It is a
mean and petty device to cripple local
journalism, and the effect of it will be to
diminish revenue to the department. The
Richmond papers might all well afford to
pay postage on their exchanges ; but how
would it affect the local journalism of the
State?
i
The throne of Portugal is not a very
comfortable seat just at present. In view
of the manifest certainty that public opin
ion would favor such a course, it is not
improbable that a movement will soon be
made either toward the accomplishment of
an Iberian I'nion, or the establishment of
a Portuguese Republic. The former is
regarded as the most desirable, and we
may, therefore, ere long see Spain and
Portugal united under a republican form
of government. It is decidedly encourag
ing to witness these effete and useless
monarchical establishments dropping one
after another out of view, and we imagine
■ the events of the past few days will cause
fear and trembling on other thrones than
that of Portugal.
Monarchy must begin to "hedge" for
power in Europe, or the despotic principle
in government will be played out.
General Morales, in Cuba, has
been threatening in most grandiloquent
Spanish bombast to shoot O'Kelly, a Her
ald correspondent, as a spy, if he persisted
in his efforts to examine into the condition
of things on the island. The Herald, in
return, threatens, in peculiar Heraldic
bombast, to annihilate Spanish rule in
Cuba, to rouse a mighty people to uncon
trolable indignation, to send an army of in
vincible reporters with ink-loaded blun
derbusses to bespatter all the purple and
fine linen of Madrid, if one hair of its
commissioner, as it calls tho O'Kelly, is
touched by Morales. At last accounts the
war was raging and nobody was hurt.
Butler bluntly declared before the
Credit Mobilier investigating committee
the other day that he had performed legal
services for the Union Pacific Company
and had received therefor a fee of $."> 1 000
together with $1,000 for traveling expenses.
He hinted pretty plainly that it was no
body's business and that he should do so
again if called upon. He also vindicated
Carpenter against the chargo of having
received a fee from the company without
services rendered. He said he had recom
mended Carpenter to the company as an
able attorney, but it had had no occasion to'
employ him.
There is a bill before the Illinois legis
lature prescribing the rights and responsi
bilities of married women. It provides
that where a married woman engaged in
any kind of business on her own account,
the husband shall not be held responsible
for any debt contracted by her in the
course of her business, but that her indi
vidual estate, real and personal, alone
shall be subject to execution and sale for
her debts. This is transferring the boot to
tho other foot. We can imagine circum
stances under which this little shoe would
pinch.
Colonel O'Ferrall made a neat
and pointed little speech yesterday in the
House, personally explanative of his own
position and that of the Governor, on the
question of the State debt. The only dif
ference between th«m seems to be that
Colonel O'Ferrall was only about twelve
months ahead of His Excellency in his ad
vanced ideas on this financial question.
Hut the misfortune is that twelve months ]
ago the position was regarded as one of re
pudiation, while now it is deemed, at the
Kxecutive Mansion, the only way to avoid
it. The whirligig of time brings strange
changes sometimes, and often spins out
new ideas entirely coincident with old
I ones
