Newspaper Postage.
The time has again come for the County Press
to urge upon Congress, their nghts and the rights
of their subscribers. The monstrous injustice of
the present rates of postage" demands an 'unani
mous expression against its further continuance.—
We see carious schemes proposed for reducing the
rates of Postage, but none which benefit in any
way the country publisher or his patrons. Every
new scheme emanates from "the cities, and is cal
culated only to benefit business-men of those pla
ces as thou.Th we outside, barbarians' . are out of
•
the question.
The benefits of legislation should be general—
they should affect the poor as well as the rich—the
humble as well as the aspiring. Unfortunately such
is not uuilormly its results.
_The rich are oftener
cared for—and those who are most able to bear
the taxes of Government, escape entirely. Under
the present post office regulations grow and 'fla
grant injustice is done to by far the largest propor
tions of the inhabitants of the United States. The
portion most able to bear the tax imposed for sus
taining that Department of our Government are
precisely the class which the legislation of the
country is exercised to benefit.
By the law reducing the rates of postage, news
papers were allowed to go free for 36 miles within
the county in which they are published. This was
a most wise and Excellent regulation, and met with
public approbation. But Congress repealed this
section-.-for Ni ' rhai reason, we could never learn
The interests of the Department did not require it,
and certainly-public opinion did not call 'for it.
We shall not let this matter rest—we shall keep
agitating it until 'something Pike justice is done us
—until the poor man's paper—which is one half
his children's schooling—shall be relieved from its
present onerous tax—a tax imposed that wealti y
men may.carry on their correspondence ;ninth) ex

Murder at Elmira.
We learn from the Chemung Democrat the follow
in,grparticulars of the late mysterious atioir at that
place, rumors of which had already reached ns:—
" A man by the tiame of Eleaier. Salisbury, resid
ing in the town of Erin, came to Elmira ou Friday,
last with a load of oats. After disposing of I . .as
load, he fell in company with two notottous drunk
s:kg, and was last seen with them on the bridge,
late in the evening, since which time he has not
been heard of. His team was found in the street
on Satuiday morning, md a five dollar Bill and
some other papers were found in the wagon, also
traces of blood. Fears are entertained that he has
been murdered, and his two companions have been.
'arrested, and will 'have their examination to-mor
row
_morning, before W. P. Konkle, Esq."
We hate no further account, except that the two
persons mentioned above, were taken to Owego,
and' placed in confinement, the Chemung County
jail-being unfinithpi,

BROTHER JONATHAN CHRISTMAS AND Ni3v YEARS
Pic-roaut..—We have received frson Wilson & Co.
New York, an early copy of 'their double-mam
moth Pictorial Brother Jonathon for the Holidays.
We may safely say that
,it is the richest and best
pictorial-paper ever issued from their press. It is
indeed a rare effort of genius, and 'nobody will be
is m
disappointed who sends for a copy. The nd
feature of the paper is an engraving of enor
size which- will astonish every oody, entitled 41
Pleasures, Follies and miseries of Christmas i
New York."' Thu engraving is near. four feet
long by 35 inches wide r aid is beautifully *cut

Taylor and liii Cabinet" occupies the principalpart
of , the first page of the paper, and a grand tableau
of 'Dr. Franklin's Maxims fills the lak page. But
we must stop, for we cannot enumerate one half
of the fine pictures which go to make up thil
mammoth sheet.' It is really a curiosity iri litera

ascertained to be Mrs. Miller, took lodgings at the -
