' THE Third Assistant Postmaster Gen- eral has issued a circular to Postmasters throughout the United States, in which he Bays that the reduction of postage to 2 cents on first-class domestic mail matter will go into effect on Oct L He instructs Postmasters to limit their requi­ sitions of 3-cent stamps and stamped envelopes to the actual needs of their offices, BO as not to have a stock of unused stamps on hand. He calls attention to the fact that the head bf Washington has been adopted for the new 2-cent stamp and the head of Jackson, similar to that on the present 2-cent stamp, has been adopted for the new 4-cent stamp. The price of both the 2-cent and 4-cent stamped envelopes will remain the same as on the exist­ ing schedule for like sizes and qualities. He directs attention to the tact that no arrangements have been made for the exchange of 3-cent stamps or ?-cent stamped envelopes in the hands of Postmasters or private parties. The old 2 and 3 cent stamps and stamped envelopes will be valid after Oct. 1, and must be ac­ cepted in payment of postage. The new 2- cent stamps' will be issued on Sept 15, and stamped envelopes on the 1st of September, but Uiey are not to be sold before Oct L. There are no other changes in the rates of postage.

The cause of the strike was a refusal of the Western Union and other companies to ac­ cede to the demar.d of the operators for an advancement and re-adjustment of sal­ aries. The operators' desks from Maine to California were abandoned promptly at the word, {com the Executive Committee of the Brotherhood, the men walking away in a quiet and orderly manner. In large measure the places of the regular operators were at once filled, either by persons in the employ of the company who had risen from the 'operators' ianks to positions of greater responsibility, or Oy men who had been secured in an­ ticipation of the strike The Boston office was the most badly crippled on the line of the Western union Company, being entirely cut oft from communication with New York. The press was fur­ nished with its usual quantity of news, though the commercial world suffered much on account of the inability to secure telegraphic service with the leading finan­ cial and commercial centers. In New York 800 operators went on the strike, in Chicago 750, and in other cities the number was pro­ portionately as large. There was no vio­ lence or disorder of any sort upon the navt of the Wtrikert. Interview wit* Wharton Barker, the Man Who Suggeeted It.

Garfield to the front as the Hepublican candidate for the Presidency had its origin in Philadelphia, and was brought about at the suggeetio# and through the influence of Wharton Barker. The movement first manifested itself aa eariy as May, 1879, in the editorial columns of the l'enti Jfanthly, a periodical controlled by Barker. It was not un­ til DEI 29, lb79L howevei, that Mr. Barkar oirectiy opened the queetlott of Gen. Gar­ field's possible candidacy. On that date he addressed a ^letter, to the General himself and after a personal conference with him early in January,1880i active steps were taken for immediate organization. Under date of Feb. 2,1£80, Mr. Barker wrote to Gen. Gar­ field, stating among other things: "The opposition to you here a year or two since was very great, under the* belief that you were a free-trader; but your letter tp me called out by a short article in the 1'enn Monthly, giving reasons why Gen. Grant would not do, and why you would do, has changed the opposition into support. In a word, that letter of yours, stating how you became a member of the Cobden Club, in my hands, and those of such men as I saw fit to place it, has worked the change." Mr. Barker, on April 19, addressed a letter to the late President, in which he said: "At my office, this morning, I had a con­ ference with the Hon. Wayne MacVeagh and Mr. James McManos, which 1 believe will result in a public declaration on the part of Mr. McManes, the whole Philadelphia dele­ gation and of many country delegates to the Chicago Convention. This"move, I am quite sure, will end the Grant movement tne country over, and BO far will be a great gain. The move will at first aid Mr. Blaine; but I believe I understand how to move so as to kill him, and at the Chicago Conven­ tion I hope the nomination will go aa we want to have it." In reply to this, Gen. Gariield said: "It is becoming every day more apparent that the friends of the leading Presidential candidates are becoming embittered against each other, to such an extent that which­ ever of the three may be nominated there would be much hostility of feeling in the conduct of the campaign. It will be most unfortunate if we ' go into the campaign handicapped bv the animosities of the lead­ ing politicians" On May 19 Mr. McManes received this note from Mr. Barker: "I want to see you before noon, if possible. You can make a move in Illinois that will without doubt destroy Grant's chances, and make your voice almost supreme at Chicago, June '4. Please let me know when I can see you. I shall be at my office all day." On July 17, after the Chicago Convention, Gen. Gariield wrote as follows to Mr. Barker: "More than a month has now passed since the Chicago nominations, and on the whole I think things are looking as well as we can expect, in view of the great disappointment many of our friends felt in failing to receive their choice. I think, however, that the party is settling down to earnest work, with many elements in our favor that have rarely worked in harmony. It. will be a close struggle, and we have a tightin? chance to win. We will need all the wisdom and e'- fort of our best nfen to make it successful." On Oct. 17, Gen. Garfield wrote again, ' ̂ Next* tw d&eat$*tlto Ttibst^' dangerous thing is partial vifctory. The victory in Ohio and Indiana was not partial in so far as those States were concerned, but it can only be utilized by pushing the enemy at every contested point Now is the favorable mo­ ment to ask for further exertiion, and I hope'you will not relax any of the tine en­ ergy ybu have displayed hitherto until the contest is ended. Gen. Garfield a^ain wrote to Mr. Barker, on Jan. 4,1881, as follows: "Yours of th$ let inst received. I note what you say in reference to the Senatorial conflict now pending in Pennsylvania. "Any intimation or pretence from any quarter that I have taken part is without the least foundation. The veiy essence of good gov­ ernment requires the free action of the people and their representatives in their election of Representatives and Senators. The visit of Senator Cameron here had no reference to that subject. If I am quoted by any one as having expressed any pur­ pose to interfere, he has done me wrong. Please tell me to what you allude when you say 'dangerous promises have been made with seeming authority!'"' Mr. Barker wrote on Jan. 10: "In answer to your question, 1 have to inform you that Senator Cameron, on his return from Men­ tor, begajs taking an active part in the Sen­ atorial campaign. It was then given out that he had been called to Mentor, that it was a matter of choice for him whether he accepted for himself or one of his friends a seat in your Cabinet: that voters need ex­ pect nothing from Washington for them­ selves and their friends, for the old distri­ bution of patronage was to be revived, un­ less they gave their votes for the Cameron nominee." The last letter of the batch is from Gen. Gariield, on Jaa 18,1HJS1. In this he says: "The report to which you refer is absolute­ ly without foundation. The gentleman named came here of his own accord on busi­ ness not at all connected with either of the topics to which the report referred. I am quite confident he could not have author­ ized any such report The cause of sound politics everywaere inquires the utmost freedom of action in regard (o the choice of persons to hold office, whether to be Sena- torsor members of the Cabinet" - GLEAM1NGS. A New YeHt Journaf Sweeps the Political Horizon* < Who Are Most Ity«l*r wit* the P^le. The Mar York Timet publishes a very com­ prehensive forecast of the Presidential campaign, it oovers seven and a half pages of that paper, and presents all anades •f opinion. Early in June the Timet sent lettna to over 400 points in the thirty-eight States, asking answers to the following questions: L Who fa moat frequently spoken of by Bepubllcana in your vicinity as their first choice for Presidential candidate in 1884? 2. What other namea are mentioned r 8. Who la moat frequently mentioned by Demoorata in your neighborhood aa their firtt Choice for Presidential candidate in 1884? 4. What other names are mentioned, in about what order aa Indicating their popu­ larity? The Timet Bays that answers have been received from 844 of these points, the num­ ber varying from forty-four in New York to one in Nevada, or an average of nine from each Stata The attempt has been made to obtain the preferenoea of the people--the voters--rather than the choloe of the work­ ers of political machinery. The informa­ tion haa been gathered by trustworthy men of both parties, whose interests oblige them to keep thoroughly informed on political matters, and their reports show that they have made personal canvaases in order to jpreeoat the drift of opinion. That they have given as they found it is proved by the fact mat in many instances the showing was not in acoord with their own personal prefer­ enoea The result as given may be trusted, therefore, as accurately outlining the pres­ ent desires of the members of the two great parties. The attention of the Bepublican party ia now directed toward the following Presi­ dential candidates, forty-one in number: Adams, Charles Fran- Hawley, Connecticut, cis.Jr.Jtfassachusetts.

Mr. Blaine, however, is a head and shoulders in ' front of the others, being named as the 'preference at 101 or nearly one-third of the • number of points where a choice is ex- 1 pressed. Apart from his own State he finds most favor in the Middle and Western , States, nearly all the great Bepublican States, and his strength i& probably greater than is thus indicated, asffln many instances a preference is expressed for others in the , belief that he will not enter the race. | President Arthus is next in strength, and 'his friends are pretty evenly distributed ' throughout the country, and the favorable 'feeling toward him is almost everywhere I reported as increasing constantly. In the i South the office-holders are noted as of 1 oourse in his interest. It is clearly shown in the letters from the South that a large I part of, or indeed, the entire vote of that | part of the country will be cast in the | National Convention for Chester A. Arthur. There is no reasonable doubt to be enter- I tained at present that the votes of the | old slave-holding States will be given to the \ present incumbent of the Presidential chair. ' Mr. Blaine and every other candidate must face thfe solid fact ! Third in the contest is Mr. Edmunds, and 1 not much behind Mr. Arthur. His strength I also is very evenly distributed in the differ­ ent States, and tne expression in his favor perhaps more than in any other case appears to be spontaneous and due entirely to his merits. He is stronger, indeed, as a second choice than as first, and leads the other can­ didates when that question is considered. These three gentlemen received the voice of 224% of the 324 places which express a 1 preference--Blaine 108, Arthur 64, Edmunds &H- Robert T.

Tte GhAm, AAdn, the Twelve-Year Cholera HsrtaSa. That most dreadful of human scourges Asiatic cholera, is surely making its way westward, and it will in all probability reach our shores by the summer of 1881, if not sooner. Some interesting facts regard­ ing the periodicity of this pestilence have reoentiy been published by a writer in the Detroit JPott and 7W6«M, who has evidently given the subject considerable attention. A correspondent writes to him, anylng: "I tioe that the cholera is now raging in Kinrpt., Bv the way, did it ever oecnr to you that the cholera appears a* exaot intervale of eeven- , it haa been proved beyond doubt, ^ not seventeen years, bat twelve yean Starting with the great epidemic of 1756, then followed the twelve-yearly re­ turn of it in 1768 and 1780-#L It appeared again every twelve yean in Asia, and three tunes twelve, or thirty-six years afterward, came the terrible Indian epidemici of 1817. In twice twelve yeara from 1817 the cholera broke out again in 184L In 1885, twice twelve years from 1841, tile epidemic again broke out in Asia and reached America the next year. The years here given are those upon which the plague actually made its appear- anoe in its native home, not the yean upon which it reached America. SomOtlmeetbe plague takes one year, sometimes three or four, to complete its circuit of the globe. The question is often asked: "Cannotthe plague be stopped or checked?" It haa never been stopped or checked yet. British and Freneh Relations. The statement as to the complications in Madagascar made by Mr. Gladstone in the House of Commons, confirms the reports telegraphed some weeks ago, and bears out the opinions then expressed, that England would not rest quietly under the Insult offered by the representative of France in Madagascar. Madagascar, it should be remembered, is the third in size of the large islands of the world, and has an area five times as large as that of Illinois. It has for many years been the understanding among the European powers that the native authority in Madagascar be upheld, and that equal commercial privileges be extended to alL But for many years France has sought every pretext to extend her authority, and within the last few months has entered upon open hostilities. On the 20th of May tne .French fleet bombarded Majungee, the largest seaport town on the west coast, and drove the natives from that side toward the capital On the 15th of June the natives oc­ cupied Tamative, on the east coast, the principal trade port of the island, and ad­ vanced on Tananarive, the capital. While these operations were being pushed in Madagascar the Malagassy Embassadors were negotiating with the French author!, ties at Paris. When the capture of Tama­ tive was announced negotiations were brok­ en off, and England submitted inquiries, ths answers to which may precipitate war. The Bradlaugh Case. It is an interestine question to Americans, and, Indeed, to all believers in representa­ tive government, how long an English coh- stituencywill submit peaceably to be disfran­ chised unjustly by Parliament That the exclusion of Mr. Bradlaugh from the seat to which he has been repeatedly elected is an unjust and arbritrary abuse of power by the majority in Parliament would seem to be self-evident His constituency ia clearly entitled to representation, and they have a moral and legal right to choose their own representative True, their choice la subject to oertain legal restrictions aa to eligibility, but these necessary conditions have now ail been complied with. Mr. Bradlaugh, stand­ ing prepared to take the customary oath, and acknowledging that it would be binding On [his conscience, has an absolute legal as well as moral right to a seat in the House. That the House should obstinately and repeatedly refuse him this right, and thus pfactically disfranchise MB constituency, simply be­ cause its members dislike his opinions on re- ligiouB subjects, is an astonishing fact to Americana, and one which throws much light on English conservatism and KngHah prejudices In no other free country would such an abuse of power be now borne pa­ tiently by the aggrieved parties, or tolerated by public opinion. The Parnell Party Gaining Ground. Now that we have a full aooount of the election in County Monaghan, which re­ sulted in the return of Mr. Healy to Parlia­ ment, we can estimate the bearing of the Incident upon the prospects of the Parnell party in the next House of Commons. If in a county where according to tradition and precedent the agi­ tation against England should have met with little encouragement, the Home Bule candidate can obtain a majority of nearly a 100 over the combined vote of bis Conservative and Liberal competitors, noth­ ing apparently can hinder Mr. ParnelTs friends from controlling about the three- fourths of the Irish delegation in Parliament at the next general election. In view of such accessions to the strength of the advanced Irish party -- accessions which should enable it to extort from the imperial Legislature almost any­ thing short of complete independence--it is unreasonable to say that nothing can be gained for Ireland by constitutional agita­ tion. Mr. Healy's election proves that al­ most every reform coveted by Irish pa­ triots may be speedily secured, provided the legitimate endeavors of honorable men are not thwarted by the advocates of SBsawrlna tion and explosion. The Postal Authorities and the £olt«ri^; The decision of Postmaster General Gresham hi the matter of,the Louisiana Lot­ tery Company will give general satisfaction to all people who believe in the dangerous and demoralizing influences of lotteries. In accordance with his decision he has forward­ ed instructions to the Postmasters at New York and New Orleans to discontinue the de­ livery of-money orders to agents of this par­ ticular lottery. This is but a repetition of the order Issued by Postmaster General Key, which was suspended when the company agreed to appeal to the Supreme Court The appeal, however, was not taken, and the order remained in suspense until Post­ master General Gresham recently reviv ed it» It is probable now that the company, which ie a very strong one, will make its appeal to the Supreme Court; but in the meantime the Postmaster General is to be congratu­ lated for having done his duty in the prem­ ises, and for having netted in accordance wiih the spirit of the statutes which prov.de plainly and clearlv that "no letter concern­ ing lotteries shall be carried in the maila* The Late Torn Thumb.

Burdette, Old People. A 4gMtleman who was ehhtdiigine literary paper which he had written a very clear, bold hand, remarked: "I always write very distinctly, thai I may have no difficulty in reading my manuscript when old age comes upon me." He was then bordering on 70. An­ other very vigorous old gentleman, aged 77, who was at ^he head of a lavg& publishing establishment, was explain­ ing to a friend the enormous amount of work he went through from day to day.' ' The friend remarked that it must tell upon him seriously at his age. "Oh, no," he replied; "I don't feel it now, but I expect I shall do so in after life!" I cannot vouch for the truth of the following anecdotes, but they jnay serve to "point a moral and adorfi a tale." In the old coaching days, when a coach stopped on one occasion to change horses, one of the passengers strolled along a green lane and was surprised to see an old man sitting under the lied go crying. In answer to a question as to the canse of his grief, he replied thai his father had been beating him. The passenger, who thought the father of an old man like that must be a curiosity worth seeing, asked him to take him to his father. The old man led him to a cottage, where a very old man was standing at the gate, looking very angry. "Is this your son?" he asked. "Yes," replied the old man, gruffly. "He tells me you have been beating him," said the passenger. "Yes, and he deserves beating, the young rascal, for he bas been throwing stones at his grandfather!" I have heard of another old man and hiw wife, both of whom had reached the: venerable age of 100. They had three daughters, the youngest of whom died unmarried, at the age of 72. The old woman was quite inconsolable on ac­ count of their irreparable loss. The youngest daughter had evidently been her pet, for after their return from the funeral she said to her husband, amid her sobs and tears: "I always tellt thee, John, that we should never rear that child."
