The NEW Posi- OFFICE SYSTEM AND CAVE JOHN
soN.-We gave exclusively yesterday in our Wash
ington correspondence, synopsis Of the instruc-
tions to be issued by the Postmaster General to
the Deputy Postmasters throughout the MON in
July next, when the new post office system will 60
into operation. These instructions present num-
Der of points very important to the public al large,
and very necessary to be studied by all connected
with the department. We are, indeed, encour-
aged to believe, that Cave Johnson will make
very good Postmaster General, better than we had
hitherto any reason to expect, SO that we begin to
think pretty tolerably well of him. Amongst other
instructions to deputies, we find one which Mr..
Johnson gives relative to the transmission Of mo.
ney for newspaper subscriptions, which is one Of
the best, most comprehensive, and most liberal,
that we have yet seen. 1t is as folows:-
in each may be paid to Pomaster for the purpose
of being paid the publisher OF at any other
person payi.r the msDey receipt tSereo, snd TO ad
wise forthwith the Postmaster is to pay amount
Of such deposit Upon presentation Of this receipt the
amount to be paid The Postmaster receiving the
amount 10 debit himself herewith in his account and
the Postmaster paying that amount is to credit himself
Herewith In his account Of contingent expenses"
This arrangement is simple, liberal, and equitable,
and will prove In its practical operation, very &C.
ceptaoie and advantageousto newspaper propretors.
There is one point, however, in connection
with the new pos, office system, that is surrounded
by some difficulty. We ailude 10 the difficulty
with the New England and New York contractors
now at Washington in great numbers. A good
deal OF information has been given to our readers
on this subject by our Washington correspondent.
but we very much fear that these difficulties will
increase instead of diminish. The post office con-
tractors, north and east, a numerous body, insis
that they should be protected against all sacrifice
of property, should the contracts not be renewed
and this will occasion much trouble until Congress
meets and adopts some method Of cancellation
We shall wait for few days and see the result o
their present movements at Washington.
