Our Mail?.
Mb. Editor?In common with many
of my fellow citizens, 1 am growing very
weary of our mail methods. lam glad
to testify to the general rfficiency of our
local postmaster, although we differ po
litically, and I wish to "turn him out,"
but I must protest against the methods
at Tasley station. I co itinually miss my
daily papers four days?papers within
live hours of this oflice. Letters from
Norfolk reach here not infrequently
from five to eight days, and Philadelphia
four to six. For one my patience is
threadbare. I mention Tasley especial?
ly because a friend tells me (as an exam?
ple of matters) that last night registered
and others were "lyiug around loose"
on the floors and the bags had to he
brought back after delivery to carriers
to receive matter left. Now, sir, this
of itsfclf is an outrage. But. my friend
goes further. He says it is not uncom?
mon for the carrier to assort his mail!
Sir, this is utterly intolerable. I make
no charge against the carriers?I believe
both entirely honest. I make no charge
of dishonesty against the station post?
master, for I believe he to be honest;
but, I do charge lum with gross neglect,
and permitting his oflice to be "run" by
outsiders wilfully and unlawfully to the
detriment of the service and injury to
the public. And I demand, with the
whole people, an immediate arid clear re?
form in the matter. If things are to go
on ;ts at Tasley?and I hear they exist at
other points?we had as well return to
the "old blind hots and stick gig" we
have just escaped. I am afraid we've
"swapped the devil for a witch" and
got burnt in the trade. Can't you do
something in the premises for us?
