Reduced Postage Law Takes Effect July First
Special to the New Harmony Register from Washington describes July first as the start date for new postage rates. Domestic letters rise to 2 cents per ounce or fraction, and standard weight increases from half an ounce to one ounce. Canada will follow the new weight rule, while other foreign countries are unaffected. Newspapers and periodicals drop from 2 cents to 1 cent per pound, with private individuals paying 1 cent for four ounces. Revenue from newspapers may fall about 45 percent. the letter-weight change will barely affect overall revenue.

Moral for office seekers from a Washington case
A young man from North Carolina came to Washington seeking a government post. After failing with senators, he lived by day labor, then gained a navy department watchman job via letters from Senators Ransom and Vance to Secretary Whitney. He began work only when the position opened, choosing street work over waiting. The tale suggests a caution about how to obtain offices.
