NKWSPARNA LAWS.—We would call the special
mtenfion of Post Masters and subscribers to the
tsui'iaeß to the following synopsis of the News
paper laws:
1. A Postmaster is required to give notice by
rftfer, (returning a paper done not answer the law)
when a subscriber does not take his paper out of
the office, mud state the reasons ior its not being
taken; and a neglect to do so makes the Postmat
ter repenneibte to the publishers tor the payment
2. Any person who take* a paper fruui the Post
office, whether directed to his name or another, or
whether he has subscribed or nut is responsible
for the pay.
3. If a person orders bis paper discontinued, he
must pay all arrearages, or the publisher u,-v
continue to s< nd it until payment is made, and
oiled the whnle amount, ichetkcr it be tap*.i from
the "jfflrt or unt. There run be no legal discuntin
ueuce until the payment is made.
4. If the subscriber orders his paper to be
•topped at a certain time, and the publisher con
tinues to send, the subscriber is b ,uud to pay for
it, I J he tah't it out of the Pont Offire. The law
proceeds upuu the ground that a man must pay
for what he uses.
a. '1 he courts have decided tbatrefusing to take
newspapers and periodicals truui the Post office,
or removing and having them uncalled for, is
prima /'attain evidence ot intentional fraud.

GRANT'S INAILI UAL ADDIUB .
vV ASHINQTIY . March 4.
i Citizens of the United States :
Your suffrage having elected uie lo the
; office of President of the I listed States, I
j have*. >n conformity with the Constitution of
! our country, taken the oath of office 1 rocrib
jed therein. 1 have la'ait th - oath without
menial reservation, and with h del crm mat ion
t do, 10 the best of mv ability, all that it re
quires f ue.
The responsibilities of the position I ft-el,
but do Did fear. The office has come to use
una* tight. I comm* ce its duties antrum
j moled. I bring to it a conscieiito us desite
! and determination to fill it to the best of my
i ability and to the Fa ti* faction of the people,
flu ail leading question- ug taring the public
mind I will always express views to Congress
and urge them according to my judgment;
and when I think it is desirable, will ex
ercise tb# constitutional privilege of in
terposing a veto to defeat measures which I
Oppose; but all laws will be faithfully ex
edited, whether the? meet my apptovul or
not 1 shall on all ftuhjecta have a policy to
recommend, but none to enforce against the
will of the peonfe. Laws are to govern ali
alike —those opposed to as w-li as those who
favor 1 hem. 1 know no method to secure
the repeal of bud or obnoxious law* so t fiVc j
j live as ibeir stringent execution,
j .The country having just nnrr r J fr.>rn a
great rebellion, many questions will co.ue be
j fore it Ibr settle me lit in ihe next four years, j
which preceding administrations have never
had to deal with. In meeting these, it is de
sirable (but they should be approached j
calmly, without prejudice, hate or sectional j
pride, remembering that the greaesl good to j
the greatest number is the object to be at
tamed. '1 his requires security of person and
property, and free religous and political
opinions in every part of our common ct un
try. without regard to local prejudice, and all
laws, to secure these ends, will receive my
beat efforts for enforcement.
A great debt has been contracted in secur- '
ing to us and our posterity the Union. ihe
payment of this, principal and interest, as
well as the return to a specie payment as soon |
as it can be accomplished without material
detriment to the debtor class or the Country
at large, moat be prv.d d tor. To protect
national honor every dollar of Government j
indebtedness should be paid in g"id, unless
Otherwise expressly stipulated in the contract, j
Let it be understood that no repudiator of
one farthirg of our publ c debt will be trusted
in public places, and it will go far towards
strengthening a credit which ought to be the !
best in the world, and will ultimately enable
us to replace debt with bonds b-wring less in
terest than w now pay.
J'o this should be added a faithful collection
of revenue, a strict accountability to 'he
treasury for evey dollar collected. u?:d the
greatest practicable retrenchment in exj idi- j
turesin every department of the Government.
\\ hen we compare the pay it g Capacity "t
poverty fr< in the t fleet aof w, L* 11 fooi lo
emerg >. I trust, into greater prosperity than
ever iu-f.-re, with its paving eapac: y twenty ;
five ytsri ago, and calculate what it piobably
will be twenty year-i licnce, who CHD d üb;
tlie feasibility ot paying every u >)Ur.
Why it looks a* though providence bsd
bestowed tit'On us a stro r g b i. Ihe prec •u
--rnetals locked up in ihe ster ie mounta n of?
the far west, which we ere now foiling the;
key to unlock, will meet the very v -nting nvy
now upon us. Ultimately it may be ioc s-a
ry to increase the fac - .lilies to reach their
riches, and it "may be nee sarv also that the
general government Mi m l give tt ail so e
cure this access, bti! this should • nly be wlo i:
a dollar of obiigatin to pay secure * j r ci> y
the same sort of dollar to use.
While thf question of specie payment- i
in abeyance, the prudent b isi*■s•?- man is
careful about contracting d I t- payaide in the
di*tant*futiire. The nation should !o tiw the
same rule.
A prn*!it commerce i. to be rebuilt, nut]
all industry encouraged. The yi-ung men of
the country, those who fioin their (.*• must
lie its rulers twenty five years hence, have a
peculiar interest in maintaining the nntiona'
j honor.
A moment's reflection us to what a ill be
our commanding influence among the nations
of the earth in their day. if they are only t;ue
to themselves, should inspire them with na
tional pride. All divisions, geographical,
political and religious, can j >iu in this corn
moil sentiment.
How the public debt is to be paid or specie
payment resumed, is not so important. i<
that a plan should he adopted and adhered
to. A united determination to do, ts worth
; more than divided counsels upon the method
:of doing. Legislation upon thi> subject nov
1 not he necessary now, or even advisable, but
i it will b when the evil law is more fu ly res
j iored in all parts of the country, and trade
i resumes its wotCed channel
1 It will be my endeavor to administer the
laws in good faith, to collect the revenues as
sessed. and to have them property accountpd
■ for and disbursed. I will, to the best of my
] ability, apt oint to office those only who wiP
cany out this design.
In regard to a foreign policy—l would bu,l
with nations aa equitable laws r .pore iml •
I vidiiatatu deal with each other, and I would
t roteet the law ahidiug citizen, whether of
native or foreign birth, wherever his rights
| are jeopardized o' the flag of our countiy
fioata.
I would respect the rights of all nations,
demanding equal respeet for our own. If
other* depart from this rule in tb-ir deal org
wiih us we may be compelled 'u f -w - ; ,
-re. edent.
I'he proper treat men t of the 01 - „al i c
| cupant of these lands the India! - is one
deserving of careful study. I will h,v r a ,

The question of suffnigx is one which is
liWely to engage the pubi c attemii u so long
a* a portion of ibe citiz- us of the t,nti n are
excluded from ita privilege* i■> anv S: 'e.
It seems to me very desirable that tni
question should be settled now. a- J i enter
tain the hope and express the de-ire it niav
he by the ratification of the fifteenth article
of the amendment to the Constitution.
In Conclusion, I as; patient forbearance
one towards another through ml the land, and
determined effort on the part of every citizen
to do his share towards cementing a happy
union, audi ask the prayers of the nation
to Almighty God iu behail of this consumma
tion.

Before I trust mj tmie to thee.

Look deeper still. If thou cannot feel

That thou has kept a portion,

Let no false j ity spare the blow, but in true

On all things new and strange?
It may not be thy fault alone—but shield my

Cou-dat thou withdraw thy hand one day.
And answer to my claim,

Not thou—had been to blame?
Some soothe their conscience thus; but thou

Nay, answer not—l dare not hear,
The words would come too latej
Yet I would spare thee ail remorse;
So comfort thee, my Fate

HOW NEW YORK IS GOVERNED.
Let us look at the modus operandi ol
ft c>J c'ty Lw-tnaker". In the first instanc
liere is never a debate in either of th<
Boards upon the subject brought up for ac
ion. Every question pre-ented in the re
-pective Chambers, from opening a street,
g n ing privileges to a horse raiho d, buil
ing a-i wer, laying a cros.-walk, remitting
iX(I wu through all the gtade- oftegi-la
■!i to giving permission to thekeejer ot
apple-stand to iucumber th*- sidewalk, i
;i ranged and "cut. and dried" beforehand.
To do this effectively, there is for cael
Soudan organization conipo-ed of a ttust- d
"u-! rit," who i- not a member, and .
in. master," who is. To the first of these
o 'h evcy eitiz n who ha- any Lusine-s
F orn th- ' agent" the applicant barn- pre
- h how much it will cost to -<cure hi.-
oi'il, and thr-ugh him all negotiation
v h the "Ring'' are carried on. The pre
•i nary arrangements being complete, ami
I amount of money d cided upon by th
.r !•■- being in the hand- of the "at" nt ot
h- 1! ird," the ''titigmaster" performs hi
•irt ot -be Cfo.ttact by obtaining the nece
iry 1 cislati on.
The money thus received is divided i;
e .a' portions among the members of th.
'ltirig.'"
Ti eg- 'd of prices, of course, is accord
i gto the value nf he privilege granted
instance, if the Third av< nue Railroad

i:rough Piinting House sqttare. the grain

rt iin tinder what authority the Company
... r-ists ill its course to the terror of horses
Kid ihe convenience of its directors, an of
f.-ting of $15,000 will secure an uninterrupt
e l continuance of the privilege tor anothei

• the Boards of the causesof non cornpli
■n ce with his contract in the essential par
titulars of keeping the cross walks clear ot
-now and iee, in accordance wiih a joint res
olution, it is very ea-y for him by a douceur
of proper amount to the " ring agent ' to
stave off the presentation of the information
■ailed for. If a resolution to exteud Path
lace from College place to the North River
could not be agreed on by a committee three
?. t-ks since, it was not difficult to secure its
pa~sage a day or two ago, with the vote ol
■very member of the committee who was
lately at variance in regard to it, now unani
mously in its favor. Instances of this sort
•iiiahi 1 eenumerated ad infinitum.
Thi- Common Council " Ring " is bound
t .getht r by an oath, registered by a magi-
H ate in its confidence. It dees not includ
ihe whole of the members of either Board.
:t only so many of ih* m as may be suffi
cient to carry every measure by a two thirds
vote, in spite of the feeble pro'ests of one or
two honest members in either organization,
and in deft nice of a possible veto by the
Mayor. The existence of this oath bound

I i tols so l knives were brandished ly irate

J Democrat, by a strategic action, affiliated
him-elf with the Republican niemticrs, and,
by his own rote, placed himself in the Pres
ident's chair, wresting the office from Sta j
com. to whom it had been assigued by the
'Tlmg," in caucus.
lii throwing an inkstand at Brinckman s
head, the impulsive Long, in justification
of his couduet, said: "Didn't that (we
oaiit thede-criptive epithet) take an oath
t efore ."
Hera the revelation was checked by the
watchful Staciui, who toared out to Ltng.
"Sit down you (we again omit the epithet).
I What the arc you talking about?"
Go into the piirate meeting rooms of
I either of the Boards any day an houror two
before the public assemblage of the mem
bers in their respective Chambers. A score
or so of fl isbily dressed men, very youthful
in appearance, odorous of liquor, cigars, and
I chewing tobacco, and much given to pro-

; lane language, will be found. They wnuM
anywhere take the palm for boisterous and
undignified demeanor. As eath one ar
rives, the usual question which he pro
pounds shows that he is simply the tool of
hi* masters, the "agent" and the " ring
master. Such brief interrogatories a
thi se are put aud promptly answered, de
nuded, however, of the impious impreca
tions which always earm-h.-s them : Well,
what's up to-day?" "II w about that
opening of Park plaee?" "Have you sen
tho-e parties?" "Y---; that's all right."
"We've got that fixed." "We'll shove it
thiough to-day," &c.
These are the writ who take care of tie
interest -of the city. \\ hen ahall we have
a change ?
THE VICE*('RESIDENT ELECT.
A GLIMPSE OF HIS HOME.
A Washington letter to the Mail contains
these paragraph*:
The house in Lafayette place has nothing
.eiunrkaMu about it. In New Yoik. where
everybody of a certain rank in society is
doomed to lire in a brown-stone front
with a "high stoop," as the Gothami'e.
call it, and on the face of it precisely lik
thousands of other bouses, this plain two
story brick house, with its step* going up
the side, would lie considered very ph-bian.
Inside it is comfortably furni-lod—but
not spacious. There is a good sized vesti
bule from which you pa*s up to the bed
rooms, two of which are u.-cd for cloak
rooms when there are receptions. When
you comedown you pa*s into the first draw
ng room—and there, near the door, stand
Mr. and Mis. Colfax.
She very often dresses in white, coming
up high ahout the throat, with a rose in hei
corsage and no ornament* in her dark hair,
but looking so pleasant and good that you
could not help thinking she was better with
out them. It ceitaiuly rnu-t he something
of an ordeal to stand on one figure in the
carpet front eight to twelve o'clock, and
-mile at every new comer as if you had a
special interest in them.
There is a second drawing room into
which the promenaders pass, and this is the
whole suite of rooms, Back of them run.-
a long gallery, extemporized into aconsetva
tory, and into which the rooms open. Such
i- the n sidence of the Vice Pnsidcnt elect.
A motley stream of visitors pours in cierr
Friday evening. Military men, members ot
Congress, newspaper u:en, the lady advo
cates of woman's rights and woman suffrage
■ uthors and authoie,-es.
P enty of hand-ome women in hand-otue
dresses—but the most of them a little over
dreesed—for that is the failing of American
women generally. You know it was the
fashion this winter for ladies to go abo ;r
verv decollete. Well, Mrs. Colfax adopted
he style which is ju-t the reverse of tha
ind many ladies who had no scruple- wer
-harntd by her example into putting on a
d cently high dtess in which to attend Mi
Col ax's evening receptions.
POETS IN BUSINESS.
Z- us and Europa, or panned an ode to Ursa
M .jr, b.i- warrant fur dealing with bull
and bears. aod compromises nothing in tuni
ng from hexameters to six per cent
■legiacs to E ie. from Donae's Tower to tin
fall of gold. The notion that a port keep
his eyes always rolling and hi- elbows ragge*
is going out of date. Even the paint rs
eare no longer to h - outre aud shocking in
dress. In modern England, according to
Etner-on, it is the man "with nomarktd
manners or features" that "un xp'Ctecly
discloses wit and learning, until you think
von have fall<*n on sotne illu-trius person
age." Let Lowell and Longfellow walk
thtough Wall street, or Tennyson, wi It
Dieken* and Keade on either side, tiavets-
Lombard street, and the\ would be though'
haie and hearty mm. in the mellow age ot
>fe; and shouhl the first two encounter
Vauderbilt and Drew, or the other thrt-e a
trio of great. Load m stockj ibbers, they
would all take each other to be well clad
-veil-mannered gentlemen, men of genius
nvention, power of concent rati ag thought,
far sight, and profound knowledge o! human
uatnre. A procession oj' poets from ev< ry
country, in erery costume, would, to le
-ure, be bt-dlam ; so would a pmces-.on of
-hoemakers; but in poets, as poets, we pre
-uuie that Wall street would find nothing to
draw it from keeping its averted eyes, liki
the man in Bunyan, on its muck heap ot
stocks and its literally "filthy lucre" of
greasy greenbacks.
A better day has dawned for the ''man ol
letters" than when he was a dependant on
the bounty of the rich and the patmnage ol
the powerful—when he was a retainer, to
whom the great lord or knialit might cali
at his good pleasure,"come hither, minstrel
and" —so forth. The modern poet doe
not wait to be "come bithered at
anybody's beck, and, accordingly, wears a
whole a coatsleeve as you or I.—PHILIP

A GOLD ( AHitII.'K.
In a Jate number of Harper' Magazine
we find the following description of a Wall
-trect character and a Wail street load:
All the bullion and coin of Wall stng-t is
carried about the streets in common open
cirts, preei-tly as are u>ed in carrying ordi
nary merchandise. For twenty-two years
past one cartn;ar>, John C. Barkley, liest
known in the street as "Honest John,"
who-e three carta stand at the busy corner
ol \\ all anu Broad streets, has done the
carting for the bullion dealers and hankers
ol the city, who would trust hint in
their vaults with irea ore uncounted. Tall,
robust and ruddy, Honest John has in his
countenance precisely the expression
which we should expect to see in the face
of or.e who for so many tears has home so
honorable a name. He began in the street
twenty seven years ago, after his fifth year,
he became the established cartman of the
coin and bullion men. It i* b carta tbat
to to the California steamers and convey
i heir kegs of gold to the vaults to which
they are consigned. His carts assist to
restore the financial balance between the
two continents fy conveying gold to and
from the Cunard steamers in Jersey City.
He has occasionally carried lor short dis
■ancee, d vrn bill, a million dollars in gold,
which weighs two tons ; bu' his opinion is
that seven hundred thousand dollars is
■ bout as much as a humane man will ever
petmit his horse to draw over these rough
pavements for aov considerable distance.
On a bury day he will have as many, as
twenty lod> of precious metals. A load of
gold, when it goes across the town, is usually
accompanied by a clerk ol the house to
winch it belongs; John is quite alone
when he has as much gold on his cart as a
horse can draw. For such serviee he gets
higher compensation than wht-n he carries
an office-desk or a load uf printing paper;
and, indeed, he has the air of a man who
could show a little gold aud silver of his
own if there were occasion.
HIE BENEFIT OF BEING KNOCKED
ABOUT IN TUL WOULD.
It is a good thing for a young man to be
knocked about in the world," though his
soft hearted parents may not think so. All
youths, or if not all certainly nineteen
twentieths of the sum total, enter life with
a surplusage of self-conceit. The sooner
i hey are relieved of it the better. If, in
rm a-uritig themselve- with wi-er and older
men. they rii-cover that it is unwarranted,
and get rid of it gracefully, of their own
accord, well and good ; if not. it is desirable,
lortheirown sakes, that it be kuocked out
of them.
A hoy who is sent to a large school soon
find- his level. His will may have been
paramount at home, but schoolboys aro
democratic in their ideas and if arrogant,
be is sure to be thra-hed into a recognition
of the golden rule The world is a great
uhlie school, an 1 it soon teaches a new
pupil his proper place. If he has the at
nsialled in the po-ition of a leader ; if not
whatever his opinion ot his abi iries maybe
If will fie Compelled to fall in with the rank
ind file. If not di stil ed to greatness, the
next best thing to which he can aspire is
respectability; but no man can ever be
truly good or truly respectab'e who is
am, pompon- ami overhearing.
By the time the novice has found his
i gi imate social po-ition, be the same high
>r low, the probability is that the dis.gree
al.le naiis of his character will be soft, aed
down or worn away. Most likely the pro
i es-> f abrasion will he rough, hut when it
- all over, and he begins to see himself as
others see him, and not a* tefhred in the
mirror of self Conceit, he will he thankful
hit he ha- tun the gauntlet, and arrived,
'hough by a rough road, at self-knowledge.
Upon the whole, whatever loving mothers
may think to the contrary it is a good thing
for youths to be knocked about in the
world —it makes men of them.
\ SENATOR TH AT H AS GOT RICH.
[From the Cincinnati Commercial.]
I look across the street and see in front of
t Senator's house the carriage of another
Senator. The pair of blooded horses cost
sMie thousand dollars. The gilded harness
i- in keeping. The clo-e, handsome, shining
coach is one of Brentou's best, lined with
ilk velvet, and graced with the choicest and
thickest of plate glass. On the coachmau's
seat sit two ol God's creatures, called men;
one a blight mulatto, the other a white man
•ind both in livery. They sit in solemn si
lence under their gay rote of furs and white
gloves. Pirec'ly, the door of the house
■ ■pens, anil two ladies, carrying a poor man's
ortune on their backs, descend the stepa.
Tie footman swings down aud opens the
door, with ;>n easy grace the master cannot
imitate. The door closes with a hang, the
footman mounts, and the coach rolls away.
Well, it seems hut yesterday that the owner
of all this came here a poor man.
We remember the fairy tale where the old
witch touched the pumpkin and turned it
into a coach, and so the ugly witch of the
obby touched the poor man, and out of
tr.iud came the coach, and out of theft came
ihe liou-e, and swindles, drives, and steal
ings, oil and burnish. Like that witch, I
e old touch that man with this delicate lit
tle pen of mine, and carriage, horse-and all
would disappear. For honor and honesty
would claim tin ir own, and the very clo'bes
would fall ftotn the backs of wif.-an I daiiah

TWO KISSES FOR A OI.HK.
As'a Weary traveler was wending his way
through the mud in a far west region of the
country, he discovered a young maiden
sotted in front of the door of a small log
house. He rod>- up in front of the cabin,
nd ti-k'd the eiii lor a drink of water.
He drank it, and -he being the fir-t woman
h -had seen lor several days, offered her a
lime for a kiss. The young maiden ac
cepted the off' r. and received both the kiss
auththe dime. The traveler was about to
resume his journey, hut the eirl never hav
ng seen a oime. asked: "Waat am I to do
with the dime,?" "You may use it as you
wish," he replied, 'it is yours. If
that's the case," said she. "11l giye V ott
back the dime and take another kiss."
A few days since, a man in order to save
toll over a bridge near Birmingham. Vt.,
hitched his horse and walked over. On re
turning, he lound that his horse had been
frightened, ran away, and destroyed the
carriage and harness.
