Further facts relative to the Letter Opening in the
Philadelphia Post Office, a month ago-Aecuracy
of the information Of the ssHerald'-THe appoint
memt of Mr.. Boyle as Consul to Mahon-Anoater
Of The Famly' provided fw-Ihe Court Fool
| Journal, and its Pathetic Lamentations
In my letter of the oath instant, related the
facts which had come to my knowledge of the result
of the investigation by special agent into the cases
of letter opening, &c., the Philadelphia Post Office,
the report of which first mentioned in my letter of
the 18th April, when stated that the report was,
that the letters of Vice President Dallas had been
Grahamized' and re-sealed in SO clumsy manner
that it had been discovered and also that some let
tiers of Mr.. Dallas had been suppressed altogether"
BY careful inquiry and investigation, have at last
became entirely satisfied that the report as gave it
in the letter of the 18th April entirely correct,
but Mr.. Hoy, has been absolved from any particpa-
ton in this business was then perfectly true that
Vice President Dallas letters had been opened and
suppressed and it is also perfectly true that the
contents OF some OF those letters were published to
the world, although not published as coming. from
such OF these facts am entirely satisfied,
and doubt not but that Mr.. Dallas would acknow-
ledge them if asked by his friends and think it due
to the authority of the Heroids relations Of facts &C..
that should state this, another evidence of accu-
Iperceve in the Union of last night, the appoint
ment of Mr.. Boyle, as Consul at Mahon, in the Me-
dlterranean. This Is the brother of the Lieut. Boyle
who is naval storekeeper at that station and under
whom he has heretofore been quartered on the pub
lie as assistant storekeeper hardly think the Pre-
sldent can have been aware OF the number of this
family and IL connections inject who are chartered
ment. 1t will be remembered that In my letter
of the 2sd instant, | gave an account Of some
of this family clique which had been and were
fed at the public expense. This is another added to
the list which then gave, viz: Mr.. Stubs, SEN,
Mr.. Stubs, jr., Mr. Boyle, father-n-!aw of Mr..
Stubs, jr, L. Boyle, son Of Mr. B. and brother-inc
Of yeang sn s sst NIT SSyss S5 .S S
Mr.. Moves, brother to the former Noyes. Now
there is to be added, Mr. Boyle, consul to Mahon,
| and have in addition heard of brother of Mr.
Stubbs sen who has also been stalled at the pub
lie crib. And yet they are not satisfied, but want
more, Where is this family cliqueism to stop 7
I'VE .see no harm in all this. If they can get
office, why not take nEEp; HEaALD.1 The
morial-to that time that the memory of man run
meth not to the contrary-has been to up antics
for the amusement OF the lookers-on who, of course,
are allowed the privilege OF believing as much or as
little of the "bouncers" to which the court fools are
in the habit of giving uerance, as they please. One
of the most amusing antics IN, which the present
| Court Fool Journal has been IN the habit of In
dugng, for the benefit OF the court In particular and
the "young democracie" in general, has been Its
| immoderate boasts in reference to its enormous
circulation and overwhelming influence, and
"yonng fortunes,s' &c. &c. &c Me bystanders Of
course laugh very heartily hereat and let the fool go
on with his amusing performances, while fd some
time he seems to think, that they take every word
he says for gospel All of sudden, however, he is
brought up all standing, with an irresistible convic-
ton that these ookers-on don't believe what he is
saying; and it is really enough to make s3ne split
ones sides with laughing TO see the seriod mc air
with which he bewails, in the most pathetic and
heart-rending MANNER the fact that the public tciH
believe those who have been in the constant habit
of telling the truth to them, while they ,ciA moi be-
eve the Court Fool Journal, which has done nothing
but represent truth as you would see it through the
wrong end of telescope, and error as through
magnifying glass OF a thousand magnifying power,
which it believes makes il look like truth, IT II be-
not actually the truth. The end OF all things must
come, however, and so must the end Of the race Of
court fools. Alas! when he is gone, we shall ne'er
look upon his like again.
