The Branch Post Office.

Mn. Enron You have, heretofore, commented just
ly upon the utter disregard which the Post Office De
psrmont in the pursuit Of its system Of mean economy
has manifested for the security and Of the
public You viii not Of course, pass unnoticed an
instance in point deeply affecting large portion Of the
population Of this city allude to the closing of the
Branch Post Oitce in Chatham square. Many of our
citizens, when repairing with their letters within few
days past TO this accustomed depository have found
their great surprise, that the boxes closed and
surmounod by an announcement that had been done
by order Of the Postmaster General
Tho establishment of this branch was believe advo-
Gated and urged by the unanimous voice Of the press
and peutoned for by as large and respectable list Of
citizens as ever united in seeking any public convent
ence. That it was a public convenience of the first
agnitude is sufficiently evidenced by the fact the
number Of letters deposited here reached
thousand 3s o00) in single month large portion Of
this immense number were written out of business
hours at the residences Of persons having boxes OF the
lower post Office All such persons writing letters at
homo in the evening, which they designed to send by
the early morning mails were in the habit Of depositing
them in the Branch Office
II is well known fact that a revenue of about ten
thousand dollars year derived from the OF Post
Office boxes in this city. This comes from no
part Of the Post Office system proper but fom an adj
anct OF IT, conriyed for the conyenicnce of the public
should therefore, be expended with sole view the
urherance o1tha convenience. In itself rent would
properly be dsbursed in the deirayng of the and
expenses Of Post Office buildings. The sum Is amply
sufficient to pay the rent of both lower and upper Office
But it said that the upper office has failed support
itself In the first place, the two cannot be Justly di.
vided for the purpose Of this charge for many who
paid box rent at the lower Office deposited their letters in
the upper aud their contributions TO the support the
department, were therefore, entitled to be considered in
an equitable spportionment between the two This con.
sdcrson extends further but need not be dweit upon
In the second place fair trial has been given TO the
upper ONCE and the public could DO possessed of the
acs, would doubtless appear that its has beef
constantly increasing, with aneor prospect Of being SUI
bcient TO meet expenses
The interest Of the department, in another view was
also concerned In the continuance Of this Office MANY
persons residing in the neghborhood at no great dis
lance were induced to address correspondents trivial
matters which would never have been made the subject
OF Ieer had tho writer been compelled 10 one or
two miles TO deposit II in post Office
Tho citizens OF the upper and eastern part of the town
are much excited ON this subject; and their public SER
wants at Washington, do interest themselves in tho
mauer they VIII soon hear q voice from tho people
