Thin vast hum in divided anions the corpor- al ions which transport the mails', elerk liiro, office rout, kc. With the .present low rate of posture the ex- pense:* ate Hoveral million dollars in i excess of tho jrcceipta. Tho estimat- ed receipts f<i- the present fiscal year i.re $4M,000,000. It seems incredible that this amount should be expended in one year for postage, yet these are tho figures carefully calculated by Third Assistant rostmatcr General Hazon. General Hazcn further says that the receipt for 1S<S7 will bo not only the highest ever reached by this kovcrnmenf, but by any foreign government as well. This, too, not- withstanding the fact that four re- ductions in postage liAve taken place within the i/Jlt four years, the morte important being the reduction iu let- ter postage froii) three to two cents. One effect of the two cent rate is to greatly stimulalo domestic cor- respondence. It also curtailed the tradq in postal cards, which are re- garded »\s a nuisance by the employes who ^undle them. Moreover, it in- creased the revenues greatly from printed circulars. The former cost of N^eiidjiig circulars through the mails in Healed envelopes was equal to that of a letter. Sending them unsealed, for one cent usually resultod^n their being consigned to the nearest waste basket. The two cent rate, there- fore, affords the sender of a circular - a happy medium, in that the roceiver is not aware of its content* until he breaks the seal, while the additional )d!ue is only a cent. The Pust Office officials say that during the past two years four-fifths of the circulars sent through the mails bear upon the en- velopes a two cent stamp. OLD TIMKH. When the postal servioo whs organ I'Z<K1 i|i 171)3 thero was no uniform rate of postage, as at present, but the tjolls varied from six to twenty- five tents, according to distance, the kfefciM'-tiftftre being charged for 300 miles.. Tho* rate kept on increasing until nono bull the rich could afford the expense of patronizing tho mails frequently where, tho correspondence was expectod to cover a wido ran£e «f territory .This condition of affairs lasted practically until 1845, when the maximum rato for long distances was fixed at ton conts and fivo cents for shorter distances.

The ehargp that hundreds :>f the best business blocks ii the ;ity are tenantlesH, and that city property, has greatly deteriorated n value, is wholly untrue. Of the louses formerly oceitpicd by vhole- ale liquor-dealers not one is va<Mi;it.

Tho principal renting agent*all endorse my state- ment, and further declare tlat at no time within the past live years ltyivo their rent lists of dcsireable npusos been smaller than they aro nbv. They also say that of tho new hpuscs that have been and are being btiilt, nearly every one is rented ben njrj being completed. .

In the judgement of these agents there aio not to-day, of all sorts, yv*r 200 houses Vacant in the eutire city, and of these not over 100 will rent for $1C00 per montli and mjost of these haye been vacated to take possession of a new and better house. Mr. Rice, of Rice & Wilson, told mc that he has a nolise that rvjnts for $3tJ.00. He was infermod by his tenant that ho had bought a house and would vacate abou : tho fitfst of the month, j^r.

Many other instances might bo men- tioned to show the demand foil tliiH class of houses. < I I. In this connection another impor- tant fact should be statod. O: the nfbw houses begun within the last BJX months, many are being built for mechanic;* and laboring men who aro to ] a»'for them on the in- stallment plan. Many of our color- ed citizens aro now buying lot*'and preparing to ! build theim elves l|omes, and soino of them whi own mopcrty aro put in ; up houses for (jolored tenants—who aro now in a ojondition to promply paj f their ijonti*.
