TO POSTMASTERS.
When newspapers arc not called for It I* made
he doty of Postmaster* under the law to notify
tha proprietor* of thU fact. Cards, already print*
*d, are furnished on application to the Postmaster,
whose only duty will be to fill out with the name
f the party not yetting the paper.
Three colossal cranks are at
large in Northern Africa, caeli
claiming to be the long-expected
Messiah of Islam. Two are harm
less, ami ono is on the war path
against the Kgyptains, with blood
in Ids eye. Doubtless the Sultan
will soon have their heads.
There is a slight eruption among
the'Nationals. One of the lenders
has accused Jesse Harper of being
a traitor to the party. They need
not be alarmed on that account.
It is all the better for the party,
if Jcsso has proved false. The ec
centric Sucker will <1o the pnrty

Nincty-flve bills before the pres
ent Congress call tor an aggregate
appropriation of $11,000,000 for
public buildings in various cities,
large and small. Some of these
buildings are needed nnd some are
not, nnd in nine eases out of ten
the appropriations asked are ex-
travngnnt. The Government owes
it to the people to refrain from
wasteful liberality in the building
business.
That people must be most pros
perous who produce for themselves
the articles they consume, especi
ally when they have lands well
adapted to such productions, nnd
the sooner tills fact is appreciated
the better it will 1>J for those inter

No, we would noi, send to for
eign ports for any tiling which can
lie produced just ns well at home,
lint we do opi>ose the system of
political economy called protection,
which makes us pay double for ar
ticles which can just ns well be pro
duced at home. We would have
our people free to buy from wjiom
they chose, nnd not be compelled
by law to purchase their goods
from certain parties at more than
the legitimate price. Our fnrmcrs
have not made it profltnblu in rais
ing cotton, but out amiable friend
ol the 'Telegraph, who is so inter
ested in tlie niuntifnulurers of cot
ton ties, lias not yet suggested
that a law be passed compelling
the cotton manufacturers to buy
enttop from our farmers nt an in

FROM OUR OLD FRIENDS.
At a meeting of the Illinois
Press Asssoeiatien, held at Spring-
Held on the 15th, the following res-
olution was adopted:
Whereas, W. L. Glcssncr, late of
the Clinton Register, and for sev
eral years an honored nnd respect
ed member of this association, has
removed to the state of Georgia,
nnd ha* purchases the Americas
Recorder: therefore,
Resolved, That the Illinois
Press association reccommcnd Mr.
Olcssner to the press of the state
of Georgia as an honest, faithful
and competent editor, anil a cour
teous gentleman.
A Sleeping Tree.
A Western writer tells the story,
which no other would be likely to
do with equel felicity, of a tree-re-
cently brought from Australia to
Nevada, “which has been in the
habit, at night, of going • to roost
likothe chickens. The leaves fold
together, and the ends of the ten
der twigs coil thcmselven up like
the tail of a well conditioned pig-
After one of the twigs had been
stroked or handled the leaves mo v e
uneasily and are in a sort of mild
commotion for a minute or more.
Indignant of having been trans-
planted the other day, it had hard
ly been placed in its new quarters
before the leaves began to stand

The nomination of Mr. Conkling

that he would not accept a position

which is more than can be said for
other appointments that have been

The Rome Courier asks. “How
is a Georgia's tenth Congressman
to be elected, in tlie event of the
passage of tlie apportionment bill?”
and says: “ Wc hope that tlie Gov
ernor will not be inliiicnccd by tlie
consideration of a few thousand
dollars of expense to the State to
refrain from calling tlie Legisla
ture together jn extra scsion. Tlie
disticts nt present arc badly shap
ed,especially the Fourth nnd Fifth,
which arc very long and narrow,
und the shape of the Seventh would
be much improved by straighten
ing its cpstcrn line. Wc favor
prompt redistricting for another
reason, because we do not want a
Democratic State Convention held
for tlie purpose of nominating a
State ticket, to be distracted by
the contention of half a dozen or
more aspirants for a Congressional
nomination.”
In the last thirty years the
House of Representatives of the
United States, has increased its
membership from 238 members in
1850. to 325 in 1880, a gain of 87.
As tlie number of members is in
creased the dillleultv of Legisla
tion is increased, for as every man
has his own views to venlilate, fi
nal votes on all important ques
tions will be delayed. Rut as it
lias oltcn been said that we have
too mm ii Legislation, it may be
considered that anything will be
beneficial to tlie public that will
tend to check it. Tlie suggestion
of the Now York Jterahl that tlie
National Representatives he in
creased to 1,000, was possibly in
spired by this view of the case.
