Postack AND Protection.—Ex-Senator James Cooper, of Pa., a well-known political fossil, hus recently aired his views on “postage” and “pre- tection’? in a letter addressed to parties in his State, written for publication, of course. He “goes in?’ for postage rates as low as those of England, and contends that if the Government will only accord suiticient protection to the fron interest, that will rapidly become the overshad- owing inductial interest in the land. Taking the difference in the means of transpor- tation, in the density of population, the length of the inail routes, and the cost of the service togeth- et into consideration, and it is clear that our rates of postage are at this moment much lower than those of the English government, without bring- ing inte the calculation the fact of the existence of @ franking privilege on this side of the Atlantic that has eaten out and continues to eat deeper and deeper annually into the capacity of the American postal department to sustain itself; while at the same time it is fast tending to the demoralization of the American public and the strengthening of the rod of iron with which demagogues so fre- leave of absence of six months has not yet expired.

He was assisting ia the casting of rails, when the flask, containing about half a ton of iron exploded, and enveloped him in a perfect shower bath of liquid fire. The only wonder is he was not buried in the mass.
