PosT OFFICE MIsMANAGEMENT.--We still hear
many complaints of Tie msmanagement of the
Post Office o. this city under its present incumbent
We do not mean complaints against the clerks in
that establishment who are industrious and asat-
tentlve to the public, as they possibly can be. But
it is against the principal manager-the Postmaster
himself, who appears to have no mind competent
to grasp the duties Of his Office, that these COM
plants are made. For instance, in this exciting
time, and when the mails arriving at night bring
20 mach important intelligence from all parts Of the
country, is it not TOO bad that the whole duty
should be laid on two clerks 1t is physically i'm.
possible for them to discharge their duty. Why
not employ sufficient force so as to have the
business of the department properly conducted, and
the public interests secured 7
