' We cotice that several petitions, which have receiveu macy sienalures, are, orhavel)ecn lately in circn. I aiicn, among prominent citizens here, to b4 forwarded to n r representatives at Washington, praying for an niiire abolition of the Franking privilege. Whatever rcctef s may attend these pctetioners.they are making a nil rtnent which deterves well of all thinking men. The reason wlirh frrn.crly made it perfectly proper lr mtmleis of Ccrress to be exempted from all rtsfe charges, w as, that free communication might tstt I'ttwcfn repiesf ntativeand constituents. ' Such vixtTe ruditiir of thir f mi e (Xm ption of this pgs thirty years ago, that s kind was very ; desirable' - il.-n ll n mcrv of manv men now livine.the comI in 'ttter postage was twenty-fire cents. This, it' we a.hw Tor tl e greater relative, value of currency in l i a to lipM tax on an extended cones jti utiiie. A rcember of Congress with the limited jur arid unl:mited expense attendant upon the faithj li ' wMlntrof bis duties, could i!l afford to pay

t ;-!af e i;prn letters which were required'to inform l. ' -'-t ii.ti.ry of the tiansactions at the Capital. "it i,, v "i,u have changed. , Postage has been re"fcc,.l x,, a i trifle. Newspapers have multipl cd. Ly i-ins of the present generous use of the'telegiaph, betore the aforesaid Donorable can collect the confused memories of the previous evening's debate, the whole country has read a clearer account than he i n any way could give. It is certain, too, that as the necessity for the franking privilege has been passing away, its abase bus constantly grown. Heaps of public documents, papers, repc rte, private books, and truck of all sorts, not only fill the mail bag at Washington to a shameful extent, but a ready supply ofae timile autographs soon frees any one thus privileged from very nice scruples about their particular use. As a consequence, nearly every letter, issuing from Washington; very frequently private business or advertisements, and most all postal business of each political campaign, passes under the Congressional frank. . - "'- - This abuse, has been of gradual growth, and eeems now to have reached its climax, with us. In England it was no less complained of, but there the trouble has been remedied. The right to frank all mail matter was allowed members of Parliament shortly after the establishment of the public mails in England, aboii the time of the Restoration . - The ralue of postage on matter annually franked increased in fifty yeans to nearly 1, 000,000. By the time of our revolution the abuse had grt wn bo rank, that it was rest. icted t very narrow limits, and then abolished altogether. Iow the queen of England must pay the postage for any letter she may mail. The postal service in the Cnited States has rarely paid its own expenses never before the war when extended rentes were auppoited through the South, where Urge democratic majorities could not read, and of course did not write. . Last year, again, there was a deficit. .Yet tbe department thould be selfsupporting, and would be, if but two rules were enjoyed by the Government to be invariably observed, viz.: That everything should be paid for in advance, and that nothing should go free. Dayton Jourr.al. A letter from Gen Schenck to Dr. H. Jewett, in relation to petitions in favor of the abolition of the rFranking privilege, says: ; ' ' , . ;' It gives me great pleasure to attend to the wishes of my friends at home, in any matter coming before Congress or the Departments in Washington, and where the subject matter, aB in this case, meet with my hearty appiwal, hall' give it all the aid In my power.; ' YonrsTruly; KOBfcRT C.

If my selections should not prove judicious intbe first instance, I shall feel justified in correcting the mistake by making a second or third selection, it u'HSarv.

Gen " Grant's Speech to the Committee. The New York Tribune's Washing ton correspondent saj-s: "O i Saturday-morning a 10 o'clock. Senator Morton und Representatives Pruyn and Wilson of Iowa, made - their appearatro-i at the, headquarters , of the Army for the purpose of presenting to General Grant the certificate of his elec tion as President of the United States. The impression that the proceedings would be altogether private, together with the fact that the Comtniitee arrived a half hour in advance of the hour at which it wis understood the ceremony would take place, prevented the pres sence of a luge number of persons who would otherwise have been attracted by the interesting proceedings. ; General Grant wus in his office at the time of the arrival of the Committee busily engaged in the performance of official dut es They were soon invited into his pres ence, and with but very -little delay. Senator Morton addressed the President elect, announcing that they were the Committee appointed by Congress to present him with his commission as President of the United States for four years, commencing ou the 4th of March next, and in a ftw remarks assured the General his election was extremely gratifying lo his countrymen, and that the people felt assured he would, in exercising the duties of his distinguished office apply tha eauie energ', integrity, and patriotism that had characterized him in u former sphere of usefulness; and in concluding his remarks, said that

he would have the support of the peo pie of the nation even including those who differed politically from him in administering the affairs of the Government. General Grant, on receiving from Senator Morton the certificate oi 1m election, in a 6rm and audible voice made the following response : 'I can promise the Con mittee that it will be my endeavor to cnll around me as assistants, such men only a- i think will carry out the principles : which ou have said thecouatry desires, to see successful economy, retrenchment, faithful collection of the revet: ue. and payment of the public df-bt. If I should fail in ray first choice, I Uall not at aay time hesitate to make a second, or even a third trial, with the concurrence of the Senate, who have the confirming power, and should just as soon remove- one of my own appointees n.s the appointee of my predecessor. It would make no dif ference. There is ; one matter that I might properly speak of here, and that is the selection of a Cabinet. I have always felt that it would be rather indel icate to announce or even to consult with the gentlemen whom I thought of inviting to positions in my Cabinet, before the official declaration o? the result of the election was made, although I presumed that there was no doubt about what that declaration would be. But after consideration I have come to the conclusion that there is not a man in tiie country who could be invited to a place in the Cabinet without Iriends of some other gentleman making an etfort to se cure the position; not that there would be any objection to the party n med. but that there would be ethers whom they bad set their hearts upon having in the place. I can teil that from the great number of requests which come to me, in writing and otherwise, for this particular person or thatone, from different sets and delegations. If announced in advance efforts would .be made to change my determination, and, therefore, I have come to the conclusion not to announce who I am going to invite to seats in my Cabinet until I send in their name3 to the Senate for confirmation. If I say anything to them about it, it will certainly not bo more than two or three days previous to sending in their names. I think it well to make a public declar ation of this to the Committee, so that my intentions may be known.'' General Grant spoke without any re serve, and with the greatest frankness and courtesy; ar-d his remarks were received by his distinguished visitors with every mark of.interest and approbation. Afterward Mr. Pruyn, of the Commit tee, addressed the General very briefly to the effect, that while the party with which he w.s identified differed politi cally from the President-elect, he des r ed to assure bim that his administratioa in carrying out the priuciples which he had mentioned would have their co ope ration and heaity support. The Committee then shook bauds with "the Gen eral and retired." SLW A Cincinnati gardener publishes a letter in the Enquirer in regard to the ground hog, in which It-, says that he has one in ids collection of animals, and that it came on ground hog day about two o'clock, and has heen out daily ever since, although he had not seeu it before this winter. The writer udd-s tha he has observed the ground, hog influence on the weather a great imny years, and never knew its. prognostication of theweather to fail. A teacher in one of th public schools ! in Columbia City, used the rod on a puS nil. for some misdetne- nor. whereupon the indignant father, meeting the kuight of the rod on the s'reet, knocked him down.

He will proba. bly die. A Vigilance Committee has been or ganized at Florence, Switzerland county, for the purpose of suppressing a gang of eight desperadoes whose violations of the law have become unbearable. The Rising Sun Recorder saj's: 'The authorities are in such fear of them that they are afraid to enforce the law upon them.' ; '"' ; While a' gentleman and lady were go ing in a buggy from NorJi Madison to Madison, on Sunday, when coming down a hill, the horse became frightened by a stone rolled by some boys, and backed the buggy over the. hill. The horse,' buggy and occupants; rolled end over end, clear to the bottom, and strange to say, the bugy was the only thing dam-agcd-r-thatwas smashed to flinders. ,

Redistribution of the Currency. : In the House of Representatives, on the

18th, the vote whereby the . bill' regula- J ting national banking was laid on the ta-1 ble, was reconsidered, and the bill pass ed yeas 10G; nays 77. The Washington Chronicle of the 19th, saj-s: Yesterday the great struggle on the bank question was renew d. Tbe chairman of the Committee t u Banking in the House, Mr. Pomeroy, of New York, moved lo reconsider the vote by which the bill amending the law regelating na tioniil banking was laid on the table Wednesday. This motion was carried without serious opposition. He then moved to recommit the - bill to the Committee on Banking and Currency, with instructions to report forthwith the first three sections of the bill. Mr. Coburn immediately ' moved to amend tiie instructions so as to include hia provision requiring a redistribution of the bank currency one hundred and fifty millions nbon the basis of the appraised value of all property, real and personal. Mr. Coburn moved the previous question upon it, but yielded to Mr.' Hooper, who moved to amend the second section of tiie instructions which applied to the terms of liquidation of banks. The motion failed. Mr. Pomeroy then got the floor and gave it to Mr. Injrersoll, who offered his national free bank ing 1 ill as an instruction, which was voted down. Then came a long struggle upon Mr. Coburn's proposition. " One dilatory motion after another interposed, and at length it was adopted. The com. mittee was ordered to report at once. This was done, and the bill was finally passed. The whole day was occupied in voting The Fortieth Congress has seen no such close jrrapple on any question. The Ea.st, and a few Western and Southern men voted solid against redistribution. The West and South were arra3?ed on the other side. The effect of this measure, if passed, is radical will give the West, it is thought, thirty-five millions more of cir dilation than at present, and the South at least forty five millions in all. This is the first great step to a readjust ment of the currencj- question.' The scene in the House was intensely iateresting. The magnitude of the -' interests involved, the deep anxiety of the members, evinced 13 their hurried private consultation, (for there was no debate,) their rallying to the votes a3 they follow ed each other in seeming endless succession, all gave interest to it. Mr. Coburn, the author of the amendment, had not been able to wedge in a word of debate fince his speech on Tues day, but the impression then fastened secured the passage of the amendment and the bill with it.'
