the pose office department.
While our grievances, occasioned BY the
stupidity or carelesness Of postmasters have
been greater than those Of our brethren ofthe
type in the western country, we have com
planned less. But there is a stage of oppres-
sion beyond which endurance is insufierable.
The postmaster general was apprzed, some
time since, that there were some "rascally
scoundrels" in that department here, as we'll
as in the state Of New-}ork; and, recently,
more formal complaints have been made in
answer to which, we have just received alettcr
from him, in which he says he Will "endeavor
to see that postmasters and contractors faith
fully perform their duty" Let the concerned,
therefore, beware.
The editor Of tn. Register is entitled to our
thanks for shielding US, in his introduction TO
the article, from the very sarcastic remarks of

biting "sarcasn," his timely mediation is pc

ofan ejcctment brought for the Pea Patch, the

Trenton, in the Circuit Court of the United
States, for the District Of New-Jersey, on the
first @. April following. Agreeably to his de-
sire, attended tie Court but the trial was
postponed, in consequence OF the absence of
material witnesses on the partot the defendant.
Rules were Obtained for taking their deposi-
tons, and also for special jury, and for a sur

In the summor of 1890, detailed report of
the case was prepared and transmitted to the

the Senate to pay for art Of the surveys

and Arkansas, daring the last year, be-
yond the amount contemplated by law
but SO deep was the impression msir
uron the minds OF members, that there
vas fraud IL this business, that it was
again rejected il the House o. Represen-
ta,ives, the moment it was brought ID.
The statements made heretofore, part
OF which mentioned to you in my las,
letter upon this subject, foand tier way
to Congress in 4 nianne? that have not
been able to ascertain. But go 1t vas,
that gentlemen Oh every side e.the house
were rising and stating circumstances to
the prejudice OF the surveyors, and TO
the surveyor general himself. isinccre-

TO THE EDITOR,

In enclose you copy of a letter from
tho Hon. G. A. Rodney, a member OF the
Senate ofthe United States, explanatory
Of the statement contained in the report
Of the Select Committee appointed upon
the subject relative to the examination
of the western land Offices. In as much
as the pressure otimpor;ant business be-
fore Congress, has prevented the House
OF Representatives from taking up tina,
report at this session, and in as much as
my friends did not think it proper TO i'll
graft the principle which l think is
strongly marked in the constitution, into
the bill regulating the compensation oil
members, because many OF hem were
opposed to reducing the pay, MIR. Rod
ney thought it due to himself to make
this explanation, to show that he had not
acted in violation Of the spirit of the
constitution, nor ofthe law. 1t was with
this view that he communicated the let
ter.
And as the Editors of the National IT.
telligencer have not thought proper to
publish it in their paper, hope you will
give it place in yours.
