&C. Mr.. Kendall, in his report TO Congress,
prded himself upon The working Of his system, Of
collecting the revenue Of his department in spe-
cie. Thatthe Department felt no inconvenience
from tbe mode pursued, has not been doubted. -
Ii is those who furnish its revenues, who have
the postage TO pay-thai feel the evils of the
vexatious exaCtion, in these times Of no specie,
with peculiar and calling force, Much credit is
also taken by the Posi- Master General, for the
success attendant upon his plan Of meeting the
demands upon the Department, by giving mail
contractors drafts upon postmasters hieh drafts,
he states, are met by those upon whom they are
drawn without loss or Inconvenience 10 the hol-
der.
This statement Of honest Amos, has drawn
from a commercial house in New York, the fol.
lowing narrative of facts, which illustrate the
working Of the specie system Of the Post Master
General, in light, different from what is repre-
scnted in his report TO Congress. Some time in
June last, trading house in New York, recel-
we'd, as a remittance, draft OF KendaI's upon
the Manhattan Bank, for which they demanded
the specie, ne iahk WOulu give holhlhS but
bank notes, which were refused, and the draft
protested. The holders OF the draft then offer
ed it at the Custom House, aud were there told,
That it could not be taken FOR duties, as the Gus
tom House, and the Post Office Department,
were separate concerns, and had no connection
whatever As last resort, they applied TO the
Post Office Department, at Washington, and,
after considerable delay, received draft upon
the post master at White Plains, an inland Will
age, some distance from the city; to collect this
draft, they were compelled TO despatch one Of
their clerks TO the residence Of the post master,
upon " HON il was drawn, where it duly
paid, IN specie. The amount Of this draft hich
caused its holders all this trouble, was S65 SO,
and the cost, incurred in its collection, was So
90, or little over II pei cent After it was col
lccted, the holders handed to the Auditor of the
Department, a receipt for the money, together
with a statement Of the expense incurred in its
collection, with this brief note annexed -
"shoud this account not be liquidated it will
stand on our book, as an everlasting memento Of
the folly, and ignorance, Of those who advocate
eIcltsiUe spscie currency"
This is but one instance, il is true, where there
has been difficulty in making transfers Of specie,
TO satisfy the creditors of the Post Office De-
partment, without loss or delay but is it not
