OPPOSITION POsT-OFF1CE..-A per-
son named James w. Hale advertises in
some oil the newspapers that he is about
to despatch "a special messenger" daily
TO Boston, and offers to carry letters for
the merchants at given rate of postage.
The section Of The post office law which
bears on the subject is as follows:
" II any person, other than the Post
Master General or his deputies, or per-
sons by them employed, shall be concern
ed IN setting up, or maintaining any foot
or horse post, stage wagon or other stage
carnage, or sleigh, on any established post
road, or from one post town to another
post town. on any road ad jacent or par
aIIeI to an established post road or any
packet boat, to ply regularly from one
place TO another, by which regular CON-
municatIOn bv water shall be established
by the United States. AMI shall receive
any letter or packet other than newspa-
pers, magazines or pamphlets, and carry
the same by such foot or horse post, stage
wagon, or other stage carriage or sleigh,
pac ket boat, or vessel (excepting only
such letter or letters as may be directed to
the owner or owners Of such CONVEYANCE
and relating to the same, or TO the per-
son to whom any packet or bundle
in such conveyance is entrusted to be de-
livered, J every person So offending shall
forfeit. for every such offence, the sum Of
fifv dollars.
Provided, That it shall be lawful for
any person to send letters or packets by a
special messenger
The object Of this Mr. Hale is to screen
himself flom the plain intent of the law
under the phraseoIogv Of the provision.
He will find it a scanty covering. A
especial messenger is not one who offers
to 60 TO and fro between one place and
another, taking whatever letters may be
entrusted to him, and by whomsoever Of
fered. He will be apt to find that he has
been concerned in setting up a post
from one post town to another post town, "
and his ten cents prove but poor COM
pensation for his fifv dollars penalty on
each-N Y. Examiner.
