By the following extract from the
Washington correspondence of the N,
I. Express, it will be seen that the
process Of simpl5fcation in the ope.
rotions Of the government" is still
going on. Ledgers are to be done a.
way in the post office department from
this time forward. Cannot the rama
cious appetite of the Post Master Gen.
raj for the plumber of his office be sat.
lsied without destroying the records of
It's finances? One step more, and the
heaven born Post Master General
will have reached the utmost limit of
slmpltication-thc monies of the de.
partment will be paid into his hands
without note or record, and be applied
to whatever use he nay think fit or
necessary. Thousands of the public
treasure have flowed into the pockets
of Kendall, and millions will follow, i'll
the people in their might do not hurl
to the ground an administration, more
corrupt and unprincipled than any that
has ever existed since our country
become one among the nations Of the
earth.
81 beg leave to call public attention
through your columns to the most high
handed and glazing abuse which has
come under my observation since the
removal of the deposites. That meas.
ure Of General Jackson's has served as
a precedent for any step which NAV
suit the purposes Of Van Burenism.-
VIII the public believe it? The audi.
tor of the Post Office has given the or.
der TO dispense Nth the use of books in
department. This is true. There
are, from this time forth TO be the gene.
raj account books kept in the Depart.
The auditor, undoubtedly made
a cats paw of by Amos Kendall, has
been engaged on this u%iiainous scheme
three months past, and though a
few honorable and upright clerks have
resisted the measure, the fiat Of the
peoples "agents" has gone forth, and
there are TO be no Iedrers in flturo
account is to be kept separate,
that the affairs of the Post Office
will be represented just as a hucksters
