A many large jobbers in the various c.Ules have thus made use of the mails to tnerease their business, and, with the present magnificent prosperity of the country, the sales of stamps on tls account alone have been something tremendous, Some modifications which have been made from time to time In the scheme of printing envel and various sorts of postal stationery hat added largely to the revenues of the De- partment. THE DEPARTMENT AS A PRINTING OFFICE. “Do you think, Mr. Vilas, that the Post-oMce Department will ever do any of the business,print- ing of the country?” “I do not know. If 1t were not for the hostility which would arise from the printers and the trades unions, I would be to recommend that the Department engage in a certain class of work of this kind. I bad consultation lately with the American Bank Note Priat Company as to print the twovceut postal sheet whieh was Issued it the two-cent some time ago. , You remember two-cent stamp on one side of it, and its Were so gummed that a letter could be written on ‘the other side, and fn sealing the writing could be kept private. The Post-Office Department had this idea for a long time, and its patent was owned by Postmaster-enera! Cresswell. It Was not put into usd because of the .diMeulty of man- ufacturing the sheets. ‘The Bank Note Company said they could easiiy make such machinery, and the system of turning out cut from the rofyprinted, perforated, and gummed cut rol rat for use with lightning raplaity, and T'do ‘not see aT the same sytem of printing co&ld not be util- wed for business advertisement. By it, circulars could be gotten ue for insurance companies, medi- cine firms, and all advertisers on a lafye scale. We ‘OW print a man’s card on stamped env for the mere cost of the work. We did it rapi and well, The sume machinery that turns out these stamped sheets would print insurance advertise- ments or patent medicine ctrculars, and {f business men could have these C4 thus printed by the Departinent there would be an immense demand for toem. It would tncreage our revenue millions ofdoliars. Tne only ting against it is the hos- Ulily Of the printers’ unions, * How about THE RETURN POSTAL CARD?” “I believe that is a device perfectly practicable, and I have no doubt but that it will be adopted before a great while. I have just seen a return postal card which is in every way, so far as I can see, all that ts required. It ts a folded card, the outside page of which should bear the and the inside page should bear the message to bé written, The person who receives this card has simply to fold it the other way from which it was first folded, and he has a page on which to write the ber ee eee on the folded edge of the card, through which a pip, special prepared, may be inserted, with nead and point sunk 's0 as not tocatch on anything or on the fingers of persons han the mails, Entire Drivacy ts thereby secured, and such a card would undoubtedly be very widely used, and I do not believe that 1t would materially hurt the sales of stamps.” . LAMAR'S CHANCES OF CONFIRMATION. Tt is said the Senators Edmunds and Ingalls, will object to Lamar’s confirmation, provided his ap- — as Supreme Court justice ts sent to the nate, an the ground that he has passed his six- Ueth year, and Uhat bis working ability may be impaired by old age. ‘This will be on the basis F that the working ability of the court will be Paired unless the new judges appointed could hav at least ten Years’ work in thein. This objection, however. will probably be set aside in Mr. case, He ls very popular among the Senators, and Eumunds ts one of his particular friends. Nomein- Der of the Judiciary committee has any positive ounds for oppostiton to his confirmation, and his | Tegal ability Is beyond question. A republican Senator, who was waited, upou by a delegation of prominent citizens from his State, with the re- quest that he should not vote for Lamars con- Hrmation, Said to-day : 1 toid these gentiemen that T should vote for | Mr. Lamar because I thougat him in every way fit for the Supreme Bench, and as long as the new Judge must come from the South I should preter to Have an old man rather than a young one.

He told ne that there was upwards of 12,000 bills introduced Into the Forti-niath Con Fess, and Lhat 9,000 of these, in round numbers, falied to pass. ..e Uninks that 90 per cent of these old bills will be introduced again before the Fittieth Congress 13 sixty days old, and he says that the large number of new bilis 1s caused by there being so many new members of Congress, Said he: “When the Senate receives new men to nearly ‘one-fourth of its seats, and tue House has a new membership of over one-third, 1 1s reasonable to expect more than an ordinary amount of new leg- Iplacion. | The principal demand wpon Us $0 far has deen from new members of the House, who find it easy Vo come here and run over the new bills which have been introduced and the reports which have Deen made by their predecessors gressex.
