Rodney justice requires of us the publication of the
following explanation from the United States Tele-
graph.
RODNEY Posr OFFICE, MIssfssIppI.-An attempt
has been made in Mississippi paper, reiterated In
the National Inteligencer of yesterday, create
belief that the Postmaster at Rodney, sissppI
removed upon fictitious letter, signed by the name
of ''Paut Hoover - This story turns oat on exami-
nation to be of character with the many other fab
relations and exaggerations that have been devised
and circulated against the Post Office Department
The late change in the Rodney Post Office, was indu-
ced by statements received from highly respecta-
BILE quarter, having local and personal knowledge OF
the case, and character and responsibility to the pe-
pie interested, that commanded the utmost confidence.
They from Gen Kinds, their representative
The charge related to the private character of the in
cumbent, who not, is alleged, removed on po-
litical grounds for the gentleman who was appointed
was OF the same political character with the one re-
moved, and SO represented to be at the time of his
appointment Itmay be well to add that the person
first appointed was not recommended by Paul Homer
and that his refusal to accept account of IFS pe-
cuniary disadvantages. For he says, in his lete de-
Ginning it, lit would result IN considerable loss to
him annually
The letters signed Paul Hoo0e, land there is more
than that one OF which the Mississippi paper speaks
as being addressed to the President, and as coutan
lug with much aduation OF INN, many censures upor
his political friends and constitutional advisers bore
evident marks of having been got up behalf of the
Postmaster, to thwar any application for his removal
This was the design of the imposition, is now avow
3D. from friend of the incumbent. The trick. how.
ever, failed. And equally unsuccessful We think
must be the mpudent deception now paned upon the
public of imputing the removal to the unworthy means
resored to to prevent it.
