lOl, ,e56 Os Alter history, somewhat in detail, Of the Mail routes and contracts, the Postmaster
 General goes on to say:
 On entering the Department, my attention
 was, at an early day, drawn to the manner in
 which its funds were received and disbursed. Circumstances transpired at the very threshold of this inquiry. which indicated l0oscness and responsibility entirely incompatible with that system which ought to characterize eve- " branch of the public service. Monies had been advanced to different persons contrary to law |; and persons in the immediate em- plOyment of the department, who receive stipulated salaries, defined ndapprOpriated by law. had received monies iD advance frOm the funds Of the department, beyond the allow ances so provided, and which had not been appropriated.
 He then suggests the mode in which here after the accounts are to be kept, so as to prevent the mingling of private with public monies, or the salaries of the officers with the receipts from the Olice.
 The public were not prepared. we imagine, to see the official conduct of the late Post. Master General thus assailed more especial y as bis was the only department. of which the efficiency. and perfect accountability in it's money concerns, met with unqualified praise from last years famous Committee of Retreachmcnt

The history Of the establishment is thus given: When the Federal Government was organ ized under the present Constitution, in i7SS: the Post Office establishment was revised ana perpetuated. There were then. and to the close of l790, only seventy -four Post OIhces in the United States; and the extent ot POST Roads in the United States, in l79O, am0unt- ed to 1875 miles. Now the number of Post Offices is eight thousand and four, and the ! Post Roads amount to ll5,000 miles. 1 The first line of mail coaches tn the United States was established tn pursuance of au Act of Congress, passed September 2, l7SS extending from Portsmouth, in New-Hamp' shire, to Savannah, in Georgia. The trans portatiOn of the mail in coaches amounts, al this time, to 6,5O7,8l8 miles in one year, ant from the first day of January next, it will b' increased to 6,785,8lO miles. The whole yearly transportation of the mail in coaches sulkies, and on horseback, amounts to about lS,70O,O00 miles.
 The whole amount of postages (the only source of revenue to the Departnent) from l78s to July 1, 1899, was Se,44l'4St

But. 1t could not have escaped the attention of any one. that it had gradually acquired another char acter, having become extensively subservient to objects of a religious snd moral character ito the diffusion of knowledge Of the pop ular sciences and to the purposes of general education: The high postage on these pub l'cations. Mir. V. said. was an obstacle in the way Of the prosecution of many benevolent plans Of this Sort. After the great plans for the promotion of education which has been suggested to the House, Mir. V. said his mo- ton might be considered comparatively unim- poTtant; but 1t had the merit of being free rom constitutional objections, and of being very practical; and. if he succeeded in his ocJect' ne trusted that it would turn out to be very useful.
