COMPENSATION TO posTMAsTERs

The new Pos-office law has been found M, -
WORK We'll on the country postmasters, and thew
nave been resgnng their offices by hundreds
The former law gave a certain per csntaqe nnor
the receipts of each office, together with the
ranking privilege, which latter in manv cases
constituted the principal inducement for bolding
the Office. The new law says nothing direc,lv
on the subject of compensation, while il abolish.
es entirely the ranking privilege. 1t seems that
IN consequence of these designations the Post.
master General has applied to the Attorney Gem
erai Tor his opinion upon that part of the law.
The view taken by that officer is that the Post.
masters should be paid the ensuing wear the same
sums of money they received last year, and the
postmaster General has issued circular in ac-
cordance Herewith. This construction of the
law we understand, is based simply on the fact
that the appropriations made by Congress for the
services of the Department allow the same a.
mount of money which was expended last year.
We are truly glad that the reform is not to be, as
was aPprehended, mainly at the expense of the
fostmasters, whom we have always regarded as
among the most poorly paid officers of the Co
vernment.
