The postage on newspaper circulation is nnlhing less than a tax on the intelligence of the country, and if any reduction is made in postage this feature should he the tir.sl to receive attention. One of the strongest arguments in favor of the reduction is the fact that Express companies, paying the railroads more than the government for transportation, are able to charge a less rate for carrying newspapers. The people are as much interested in this reduction as in any proposed.

Senator Pendleton was compelled in the senate, yesterday, to isolate himself from his party friends on the civit service reform iptestion. After all their talk the members of the Democratic party in congress shrink from passing any-Iaw at all on the .subject. They say in plain terms that their wish is to leave the whole matter of appointments open until a Democratic president "is

eloeled.

The only change

in the civil Ktrvico that is palatable to a Dcmoi'iai. is the change by which a Democrat is triven an ojlice.

•The proposed postotlice appropriation bill omils the large amount herelofnre appropriated lor "special service" or "fast mails" as it is bet Unknown. Jt is a wise omission. The alleged '-fast mail" was a contrivance for the benefit of the 'big Xew York dailies, that they might get into the sin rounding states in timelier time than they had been doing. The :fasf mail" did not leave New York ai an hour to serve the. business interests it good turn tor to do that '.he mail should leave the city in the afternoon and not in the early hours of the tnorning. The New York business man's rreppondence could then reach its destination many hours earlier.

A very vigorous protest against the. omission may be expected from the New York papers.

The bankruptcy bill has been practically defeated by reference to the senate committee on judiciary. The measure known as the Ingalls bill referred the whole matter to the courts, l-'or this the J.owell bill, providing a symmetrical code, wap'substituted and then for fear the friends of the Ingalls bill and the opponents of all bankrupt laws would join in voting for its defeat the friends of Ihe Lowell bill had it recommitted to the judiciary committee where, report says, it will remain until this congress expires.

The old bankrupt law, under which there was so much fraud, was repealed in haste because it had become odious to the country. So great, was the haste congress would not at the time listen to any plan for a law. Stanley Matthews, in the senate, was the tuie who voted in that body against the repeal of the old law, ami he did so on the ground that thy commercial interests of the country should not be left without any provision for bankruptcy. There ought to be some carefully provided act, but the piospeeu now are that none at all will be enacted this session.

ELECTION OR APPOINTMENT. Xow that reforms like bees buzz in so many heads there are theories upon everything. The Argonaut, the outspoken, able California journal, advises a change in the system of electing presidents and other officers, saying that past experience proves the necessity of departure from methods long accepted as impossible of modification. Existing institutions are p!atfonns_for critics and theorists to stand upon to otter objections. The faults of ihe present ate ^larim because' readily seen but the weak tried are unknown, not so charming as eralities of a theory of man's devising

can listen to plans for improving the "host government that ihe vVe." lCnowing that while ihotv i.- danger of" being reformed too much, there will'

?y

be enough of those who "ike well enough' to hamper the radical. The

PnorniETor.. Argonaut with well assured seriousness inquires if we cannot abolish presidential elections an-l asks what is the necessity of the kind of president we have.

The objections given are several. The quadrennial exci'ations disturb business, alarm a hundred thousand ofliceholders and sicken with deferred hope about a million aspirants. The nomination by party conventions does not ic-present the intelligent judgment of the voters. The present mode does not represent our greatest or best men, and the selections in the past have been a chapter of accidents. "We have dragged up front merited obscurity the. most undeserving of men/' Instances given, are "the senseless campaign of log-rabin and liard-eidet1 that elevaled Harrison from a log-house to theWhitelIou.se, The election of the rough-rid nig, ignorant soldier from the Mexican war. We drew Franklin Pierce from the obscurity of a village tap-room. Grant was an exhalation of the battle-field," etc.

The changes suggested are the amending of the constitution so that the only government officials elected by the people shall be members of congress the senate and congress shall meet each two years to nominate an executive officer without the "-power of veto, or of appointing a cabinet, who shall nominate leading officials as now, I with the approval of congress. The chairman of the committee on foreign afl'airs shall be secretary of state, and the chairman of the finance committee shall be secretary of the treasury, and so on. Some of the advantages will be, it is claimed, the escape of the intrigue of political conventions the removal of the fifth wheel, the electoral college the avoidal of the passions of of a general election and the perils of such contests as that of Haves and

Tilden. Itcan be remarked that the excitations of great political contests can not be avoided by transferringthe voters' interests from one kind of an election to another when the issue at stake would still be which party is to rule, especially in a country where every citizen is more or less a politician and apart of the government. Intrigues would not become possible by transferring the arena from the caucus and convention to the halls of congress. The same prizes will excite the same struggle. By shearing the President of his power we might remove the incentive to the desperate contest for that office, but the power would be rested elsewhere.

The government of this country is a vast machine. The power necessarily delegated to its officials by the people is very great with an increasing income a,ndexpenditure,and when there ceases to be a party to bend every energy to secure its control, we may look for quiet—and death. To change our elastic and accommodating system to. any other will be at best to move a burden from one shoulder to the other. Its mechanism may be improved by an accelerating pinion here and a checking balance there, but it is capable of (ioing very good work with good engineers in charge.

air. Hntcli is Warmly Welcomed on the l'lciorof the Kxchange. Jfow York Ilernld.

A handsome and well-dressed young man quietly slipped past the doorkeeper of the stock exchange yesterday afternoon and entered upon the crowded floor. One minute later the great room resounded with yells and shouts, and visitors looking down from the gallery saw the young man hatless, almost coatless with disordered hair and wild rolling eyes struggling in the midst of a mob of excited men apparently bent upon lynching him. "Dear me exclaimed an old lady in the crowded gallery, "he's beeii caught a pjekin' their pockcts, 'I s'pos. They'll kill him, sure. Such a nice looking young fellow, too. Who'd a thought, he'd do it "Pardon me, madam," said the Rev. James Thomas, who was among the spectators in the gallery, "but your conjecture, though very natural, is, I ass\ye you, incorrect. I happen to know him to be a very estimable young man. He is Mr. John B. Hatch who has recently paid some $30,000 for1 the purpose of mingling on the floor with those gentlemen, and this bein^ his first appearance they are, according to custom, striving to outdo one another in tendering him the hospitalities of the house."

Meanwhile Mr. Hatch was hustled to and fro, surrounded by a hundred of his new associates, who shook him vigorously by the hand or the hair or the ears, or in fact, any part of his anatomy the}' could reach. The atn lctic training of the young broker, who is a Yale man and holder of the class cup of 1877, stood him in good stead and helped him to elude many overenthusiastic attentions. Ilis Wall street training, however, proved to be less complete. Notwithstanding his liv years' tuition in the office Fisk & Hatch he proved lie ignorant. of the deprav itv of stock broking human nature that tjiay exist, tinder gray hairs and a venerable exterior, and he knew noth ing of the favorite exchange pastime of "walking Spanish." lie fought his way toward what he believed would prove a haven of refuge in a group of elderly brokers, who stood looking at his tormentors with what he took for an expression of stern rebuke upo:?. their countenances, When out of breath and almost exhausted lie reached the spot he re ccived a double shock—mental as well as physical—for the gravest members of the party, when his back was toward them, grasped his trousers, and in twinkling she was "walking Spanish.' Cauirht up by a dozen handsso that on ly the extreme tips of his toes touched the floor in that premiere danseuse posture he was rushod madly ruiuiu the room, receiving as ho revolved a sort of "baptism of fire," the lazier brokers striking him with caps, hand' kerchiefs or whatever catne to hand as lie flitted past them. When he last managed to shoot through one of the doors and dizzily pulled himself together on the sidewalk he said was more exciting than any college football match he, ever engaged in Mr. Hatch is the purchaser of the seat of Mr. Eobert Stuyvesant, who had been a member of the exchange for many years, fie enters into business as luail of a new linn—Hatch, llrooks i(- Hamlin.

J-ost Millions. St. Louis Globc-Pemocrnt. The richest prospective heiress in California is Miss Ifatiie Crocker, the only daughter of Charles Crocker, another of the railroad syndicate. She also, is a charming girl, and, like Miss Flood, is rather plain in appearance She is noted for her charities and do' mestie virtues. She was sought in marriage by Lord Beaumont, an English nobleman, but she gave him no encouragement, and it is believed pre fers to remain single. Mr. Crocker has two other children, sons, but his immense wealth will give all a princely fortune.

Tho luckiest young man in California in point of wealth is Mr. James V, Coleman, of Mcnlo Park. A few years ago he was clerk at a mine in Nevada at 8100 a month. But he didn't expect to be always, for William T. O'Brien, one of the bonanza kings, was his uncle, and Mr. O'Brien was a bachelor. One day Mr, O'Brien got sick and sent for "Jimtnie," as he was always called, to bo with him and care for him. In the last davs of his illness the nurses said liitcle "Billy" and "Jimmie" were closeted together agreatdeal, and one evening "Jimmie" came out of Uncle Billy's room with a big tin box which his Uncle Bill}' had given him. It contained $500,000 in 4 per cents. A week later LTncle Billv died, and bv his will all the nephews and nieces were left $300,000 each, including "Jimtnie," who got that in addition to the ante-mortem gift of a half million. But not content with that, Uncle Billy made "Jimmie an executor without bonds, and his fees as such amounted to $404,000. The whole value of Uncle Billy's estate was a little over $9,000,000. Alter the legacies were paid the residue was turned over to Mr. O'Brien's two sisters, Mrs. Coleman ("Jimmie's" mother) and Mrs. JosepyMcDonough. The two ladies inherited $3,500,000 each. The lucky 3roung man referred to is about thirty-two, a graduate of Georgetown college, I). C., and has just been elected to the assembly of California. "Jimmie" has gone l'nto training for congress, and will get there in 1S34.

The unluckiest man on the Pacific slope, in point of wealth, is Senator Jones, of Nevada. There has, perhaps, never been so vast a fortune so quickly scattered as that of Jones'. In spite of popular belief Senatgr Jones to-day is poor, comparatively speaking. When he was elected to the Senate in 1S7S he was worth.at least $10,000,000. To-dav he is not worth $50,000 above his debts, and his congressional salary is no longer despised as a source of income. It would be hard to tell where Jones' fortune has gone. No man ever sunk so much money iu chimerical schemes, invaft-

edjso much in'bogus friendships, or became so easy a. prev to financial sharks as Jones. He sunk $2,000,000 hard money in mines in Pauamint, California, which never yielded a dollar. He sunk. another million in the Sumner mine, in southern California. He built a railroad in southern California twelve miles long, and it cost enough to have had every tie o! mahogany and every rail of silver. The Central Pacific afterward bought it for about $1,000 a mile. He bought every ranch ever offered him—indeed, he bought one in Nevada which has never been located to this day. Jones' agents could never find it. He started an ice factory in New- Orleans. He never saw the factory, and never but once or twice the man who got him into it. He opened the St. James hotel in New York, and of course it never paid. The last cruel wipe that fate hail in store for Jones was the "Sierra Nevada deal," as Californians call it, of four years ago. On a mere prospect the stock was jumped from S." a share to $27"). Jones got in about $200, on Ihe drop. The stock in selling now for less than $5 a share. The bank of Nevada is believed to be carrying Jones' stock for him yet. At the time Senator Jones was "talked of so strongly for secretary of the treasury, Californians who remembered ho'v.** well Jones had trken carc of his own money could not repress a smile that lie should be thought competent to take care of the people's.

HOW TO DO IT.

A Capital Kcference of Present nnd Fature Interest, and the Little Trouble toSecr.ro It.

A handy thing indeed to have in the house will be the special edition of the B. & 0. Bed Book, now in course •of preparation. The surprising results of this year's elections all over the country make a most interesting study when presented in shape for ready comparisons. Of more or less interest just now in contrasting the past and the present, the future as calculated from "the might have been" will prove an all-absorbing occupation to very many people.

In the new Red Book, which will bear the cleverly adapted title of "How 'Twas Done," all the figures are from official sources, being rcceis-ed under the seal of the secretaries of the different stales, and therefore correct beyond question. The comparisons and calculations generally are made by experienced statisticians, and may be depended upon as accurate. The scope of the little volume is something more than ever before attempted in a political text-book, going much farther into details and summing up facts more concisely than the ordinary run of such publications. About everything that one wishes to know is presented clearly and intelligently. The comparisons' of the vote of this year with the vote at the preceding election are fulland complete,showing not only majorities but losses and gains on" Republican, Democratic, Prohibition and Greenback vote. Where states have been redistrictcd congressionally, the comparisons are made in districts as now constituted, and in the remarks all the changes in districts are shown, as well as very much interesting data relative to candidates, etc., etc.

The book will bean invaluable reference for use at coming elections, and those who take any interest whatever in politics should adopt means to secure a copy now, as possibly when they want it most the edition will be exhausted Tim oi indicting a request to C. K. Lord, Baltimore, Md., will insure the receipt of a copy of the book, as no charge whatever is made for it. Already a very large number of requests have been received, and envelopes are being addressed as requests come in, so that the books may be forwarded immedidiately upon receipt from the printer. No publication of similar charactercan be procured for money.

Like all the B. & O. publications, it will be a gem from a typographical standpoint. As an indication of the value of the work, quite a number'of prominent newspaper publishers have requested sufficient number of copies to send to their entire list of subscribers at their own expense. Any subscriber or patron of this paper will have a copy of this book sent liitn by forwarding his address, as hitherto stated, to Mr. Lord, at Baltimore.

BA 1'LY FRIG 1 ITi:\II I).

Lornennd I.ouit»« to Have a Guard." WASIIIXGTOX, Dec. 12.—Secretary Lincoln has ordered an escort of soldiers for the protection of the marquis of Lorne and Princess Louise. The marquis and princess recently arrived in .San Francisco from British Columbia. It was announced that. they intended to take a trip through the northwestern country perhaps as far south as New Orleans. At all events they desire to go over the .Southern Pacific road as far as San Antonio, Texas. They, however, have received several very threatening letters. Some of them have been profuse in assertions that both the marquis and the princess would be killed. More of them have been seemingly friendly letters intended to warn the party of the danger. Something in the tone of some of them caused cither the marquis or some of his party to fear that the threats were reallv something more than idle. It, was .determined, however, not to give up the trip but to see if a suitable escort could not be provided. Secretary Lincoln was made acquainted with the. fact and was requested to furnish such escort if comfortable with his power. He decided at once that it would be perfectlyproper if the governor general of Canada was to make a trip through the western country and a section not policed to offer him suitable protection. He therefore, to-day, ordered a detail of one officer and ten men to accompany the party as an escort as far as .San Antonio, Tex. The threatening letters do not intimate from what quarter or for what reason the attack on the party is contemplated.

Burned by Carbolic Acid. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Frank \V. Wear, a young man employed at the laboratory of Richardson & Co., Xos. 1121 to 1127 North Second street, was burned to death yesterday with carbolic acid. He was employed in the laboratory as a distiller of carbolio acid. In this process it is necessary to fill the still and then light a fire under it. Yesterday morning about 10 o'clock Wear lit the fire first, by mistake, and then poured the acid into the still. He probably inhaled the fumes from the still and became stupefied by them, for he dropped a carboy containing the acid and it broke and he was drenched from waist down with the fluid. It jiavinK

to the accident at the time, but afterward, when he began to feel a little sore, lie was stripped and soda and water rubbed over liim to neutralize the effects of the acid. His brother went to dinner, and when he returned the young man was dead, having expired at about 12:30 o'clock, albout two hours and thirty minutes after the accident. The coroner was notified, and will hold an inquest to-day. The body will be taken to Boonville for burial.

"Why IngcrsoII Draws-.

Las Vegas Optic. Witliout indiilgingin any discussion as to the-validity of Bob Ingersoll's arguments against Christianity, the question of the source of his power to gather and profoundly interest great audiences. Rev. W. H. Thompson of Chicago, a Methodist clergyman who has himself wandered outside the creed of the church and been disciplined therefor, lately preached on In gersoll, and mixed more brains and discernment with bis discourse than preachers usually do on this favorite topic. Doctor Thomas had a great curiosity as to what constituted the magnetic Bob's powers to draw a crowd. In order to satisfy, himseif on these points, and partly", as he con fesses, from a desire to bear the great infidel, he attended the last lecture He found that the ardience was simply a multitude. It was also a pleased, delighted, cheering multitude, even while the speaker was cast ing ridicule upon the things that to most minds are sacred. Why this was so was what the reverend doctor had in mind to ascertain. In the strenuous effort to be just he says he struggled against the suggestion that Col. Ingersoll is insincere, or that he could use his splendid talents to win money at the expense of truth and right. He finds in him a rare gift of oratory and a marvelous faculty in the use of language. Added to these is the shrewd lawyer's training which enables him to detect the weak points in the argument of an opponent. He has, therefore, been quick to see the extravagant and untenable positions ot some theologians and the mysteries of creeds. .Seizing upon these and putting them in their worst light, he endeavors by them to cast ridicule upon the whole Christian faith.

A Georgia Editor on Early Marriages. Rising Fawn (Ga.) Gazette.

Nine-tenths of the unhappy marriages are the result of green human calves being allowed to run at large in the society pastures without any yokes on them. Tliey marry and have children before thev do mustaches: they are fathers of twins before they are proprietors of two pairs of pants, and the little girls they marry are old women before they are twenty years old. Occasionally one of these gosling marriages turns out all right, but it is a clear case of luck. If "there was a law against young galoots sparking and marrying before they have all cut their teeth, we suppose the little cusses would evade it in some way. but there ought to be a sentiment against it.
