A largely attended indignation mecting of newspaper publishers was held yesteréay alternoon in room 111 of the Astor House. The meeting waz culled to tako action respecting a recent order of the Post Oflice, Department at Washingtop requiring certain journals which have Litkerto passed through the mail under the regular newspaper rate of two cents per pound to ve rated horeafter under the third class. This rul- ing 18 based upom an act passed July 12, 1876, which provides :-— ‘That transtent newspapers and magazines, regular publi- gations desixt marily tor adver-islue purposes, ax ‘or free cireulation, of for circulution at nominal rates, aud ail printed mattor of the third eluas except unsealed cireulurs, sbull be admitted to und be transmitted 1m the mails at whe rate of oue vent Aor every two ounges oF fractional pirt thereof and ove cent for euch two additional ounces or fr tional part thereot, MISTORY OP THR COMPLICATION. It appears that the publishers of a paper called the Grocers’ Criterion, published in Chicayo, were notified to March inst by the Postmaster General that it could no longer go through the mails at the old two cent rate, but must pay according to the uct above montioued, which calls tor one cent for every two ounces. The ‘publishers of the Criterion sought at Washington to buve the ruling reversed, but failing in their efuris, as is alleged, they fusisted’ that other trade publications should be similavly taxed when passing through the ais.

THE CONTINENTAL RECEIVERSHIP. NO LONGER A BONE OF CONTENTION—MR. WILLIAM R. GRACE RESIGNS TO SaVE THE POLICY HOLDERS AN EXPENSIVE LITIGATION. As foreshadowed in the Hxaaro soveral days since, the contest over the receivership of the Continental Life Insurance Company has been brought to a sudden termination. The policy holders had begun to look upon the litigation as interminable, and it seemed as if the law’s expensive delay would consume all there was todistribute. Butall this hus been averted by the action of Mr, Grace in gracefully resigning tho office, Within a space of seven months the Continental has bad throo different receivers, Firat, Mr. John J. Auderson, who resigned; then Mr, William R. Grace, aud finally Mr. Jobn P. O'Noil, who was appoiutea by Justice Westbrook on the ground that the former appomtments by Justice Pratt were illegal A long contest was anticipated between Messrs, Graco and O'Neil, and it was thought the question could only bo settled by the Court of Appeals six months hence, ‘THE SOONEST WAY TO MEND IT, Mr. L.

PERSONALING THE DEAD. AN ALLEGED CONSPIRACY FOILED. Some titae ago judgment was recovered in the Su- preme Cyurt, at tho sult of Johm Meyers against Michuel J. Maloney, an alleged depositor in the Bow- ery Savings Bauk, An application was made jor the examination of the bank as third parties huving tho money on deposit belouging to Maloney. ‘Le matter came betore Judgo Barrett, who, not fully satisiied with the appearance of things, refused to make the order, The attorney for Meyers then consulted with Mr. Norwood, ono of the counsol forthe bank, to learn what further proof of identity was required in order that the money mighs be paid over, Upon in- vestigation it Was discovered that ihe Maloney who deposited tho sum of $700 had died some time pre- vious, This discovery, huwever, was kept secrot, and Meyers (who claimed that Malouey owed him $090) and his alleged debtor again ap- peared befero Judge Burrett for — further examination, The ip Oh Maloney actually swore that he was indebted to Meyers in tho sui pamed; the Papers which had been served upon him by simon ‘Abrahams, a special deputy, residiug at No. 55 Orchard stroct, Were produced, und tne fagt that a regular con- sptracy had been entered into to detraud tho bunk now became apparent. To obtam the order from Judge Barrett for the examiuation of the bunk it was becessary for Meyors to swear that Maloney bad money on deposit which the bank retused to apply to the judgment, 1+ transpired that po such application was ever made, aud thus the net was neatly woven. ‘The matter again came before Judge Barrett yesterday for turther investigation, but 1t Was stated that the live Maloney was 1n Boston und wou!d not be back for aiweck, But the game was up, As Meyers, alias Whelau, the proprietor of a congert saloon at No, 155 Chatham street, and Simon Abrabums, who is alleged to have entered the conspiracy, were leaving court, tuey walked into the aflectionate embruco of Detectives O’Couvor und Field, of the District Attorney's office, and were taken before Assistant District Attorney Rollius, who mado a@ preliminary javeatigation, and tho prisoners, who were represented by Mr. Wilham F. Kiatzing, wero sodged ip the Tombs to await examination this morning. The Maloney who actually had the de- posit in the bank was @ soldier, and died two months ago in the Martine Hospital, Brooklyn. It is surmised tbat his bank book wus stolen and handed over to the alleged conspirators to obtain the money, THE CAB COMPANY. Yesterday $6,000 additional stock was taken ip the Manubattan Cab Company; $1,000 by Mr. Siinon Ham- berger, of PHiidddfpata, and $6,000 by the National Cab Company of thas Gity.
