By an act of Congress approved July 23, 174, it is required that on and after Jan. 1. 175. postage on newspapers and ierilical publication mailed from a known office ol publication or new agency, addressed to regular subscriber or new agent, shall !e charged at tbe rate of two cent er j-ounl if isued weekly or oftener, and three cents per pound if issued less fretmently thsn once week. The aet provides that matter shall be weighed in bulk and pre-paid with aJbesive stamps to be specially devWd for the ptirpe. The manner of applying the si snip i left discretionary with the" Ivpartmeat, ar.d a system, which it i.hHe,t will work satisfactorily, ha been devised for carrying the law into effect. The stamp are now in course of preparation, and will be ready at tbe time appointed for their use. It i expected that the revenue of the Icpartment from pn'.a- oa printed matter vv:ll be la-cra-Ubv tbe enforcement of thi act, notwithstanding that the rate are cheaper than before, as now postage will le pre-paid, while heretofore much los has beu occasioned to the derartment on account of the non-collection of postage at the point of delivery.

There must f a limit to governm, n'l interference, and. happily, it better uit the geniu f the American ople to be!t themselves than to ,l'end on the State. Toconttnunirate intelligen,-e and dieminate inormttion are tbe primary function of thi w psrtment. Any dtvergen,-e from the legit imiie sphere of it ojra;ion tend to di-turb theju.t 'siethst. In the ordinary buineof life, the .e. lient of a tsen tt i the proper party to pay for it. since there is no f,ste from tbe universal law that every rvi-e must in some way le paid for bv some one. Moreover, in a" country of vast extent like thi. where mot of the operation of the partme-nt are carried on remote from the controlling center, the dipoition to enk'sce in enterprise more or le foreign to the tlieiry of ytem. mav leal to embarrassment whence extrication would be tl;rti, ult. loSTAt. l:lllH!V.

M'hile I no not flatter my-elf that I shall be able to a--com pi Mi this most desirable end during the short peril of my service, I projKe to keep it steadily in view, and to direct my bct efforts toward Its attainment. For the first time in the course of a life devoted actively to business, I find myself in charge of an establishment the expenditure of which largely fire-.)

The deficiency of thi Iepartment has varies! of late year from fifteen to twenty per cent., while from the het dsta at my command I have been compelled to submit estimate for the year ending June 30, D7f. which will show an expeeted exeeof expenditure over receipt of nearly fs.oj ai .us), and about i.5 per cent, of the entire revenue of the Iepartroent. How far the American people w ill be willing to go in thi dire tion remains to be seen. The difficulties ut tbe way of adopting and enforcing a policv of economy, wbb-h, while proIrly guarding the revenue of the Iepsrtment, shall alo afford to the new and growing portions of our country the mall facili'ic to which the enterprise of the people entitle them, are neither few nor small, but in some wav they can and mut I surmounted.
