We question whether the House will ever give up the franking privilege, though every member were to express himéelf individually against it. and though its cost to the National treasury becomes ten-fold as great as at present It fs said that the Post Office Department esti- mates that it saddles that branch of the public s-r vice with an annual tax of some six thousand do'- lars per member! Ifthe abuse of the privile; e -on§ tinues to increase as in the last decade, this tax will soon be doubled; that is, it will become equal per- haps to twelve thousand dollars per member per aunum. But the existing tax to the National trea- sury (of the frankiug privilege) is not confined to its increase of the Government's postal expenses But for its existence two-thirds of the useless books and documents printed by Congress,and quite two- thirds of the outrageous cost of publishing their debates officially, would be saved to the treasury; which together cannot be less than $20,000 per member perannum The publication of the bun- combe books and documents at the public expense, as well as the custom of squandering hundreds of housands of dollars per annnm in the official publication of the Reports, are really bonuses to the members—costly means of enabling them to make capital for themselves at home and through- out the country at large, and should be rightfully oh das items of the real compensation which ey receive for their services in Congress. hiatters now stand. it would cost the trea: to pay them a salary of twenty thousand dollars per annum each, cutting off all such perquisites. ‘The time will come when the country will com- pretend the length aud breadth of the mischief to the public peace and morals, of the franking privilege, its enormous indirect z+ well as direct ¢ tax payers of the land, and also {ts po- tency in keeping in Congress persons who are wholly unlit te make useful uembers; though the public may expect a desperate Congressional developmet. ———— i> The New York Courier and Enquirer has prencunced in favor of Wm.

So strictly private were the proceedings. that neither the officiating minister or the sexton were notified as to the exact time until a few hours previous.
