In answer to the statement OF the
Messrs GREER, in yesterdays Union, we
are authorized to say, that shortly alter
the accession Of Mr. CoLLAMER to the
Post Office Department, il became ne
cessary TO have quantity Of printing. done
in the neatest style and with the utmost des-
patch that the reputation Of the Messrs.
GREER, who were the contractors, for neat
work and speed in turning il out, was not We
ry high in the Department; that, letter
was addressed by the Postmaster General
to the First and Third Postmasters Generals,
inquiring into the facts Of the case that a
reply was returned, that the manner in which
the Messrs. GREER executed the work Of
the Department, was slovenly, unworkman-
like and coarse, and I at no dependence could
be placed upon them for despatch; th1t the
Heads Of Bureaus for which the required
printing was to be done, were ordered to get
il done where il could be executed with neat
ness and despatch; that, the Messrs
GREER never. called upon the Postmaster
General for any explanation Of this order,
though they sought to involve the Depart
ment in correspondence which the pressure
Of public business prevented him from enter
ing into and that letter addressed BY the
Messrs. GREER to the President, was pla-
eed by him in Mr.. CoLLAMER's hands, who
explained the whole ira, saction as now re-
cited and which was satisfactory to General
TAYLOR. No printing has been taken from
the Messrs. GREER, of which time enough
could be allowed for its execution. This is
the whole substance ofth.s affair, about which
the Messrs. GREER and the Union have
made such great noise. The Department
can take away the whole contract, for nom
lulflment, and give it to another. We are
given to understand, that il has, for a very
long time, regarded the contract as a failure.
On this point, the Department and the con-
tractors are at issue, and as the law gives the
Department the full power to decide upon
the question Of fulflment or non-fulflment,
the Messrs. GREER would have no right
to complain, il they lost the whole contract
and were subjected to the penalties Of the
law, in the case made and provided. In
making this yindication Of the Department
from the charge Of the Messrs. GREER,
neither this journal nor the Department en-
tertains any but the kindest feelings to the
contractors, whose inability to come up to
the requirements Of their bond, is, we are
sure, more their misfortune than any wilful
purpose Of neglecting the performance of
their duties. But we must be permitted to
say, that wedo not think, they have done
themselves any credit, by trying the subject
before the public, though Of this they are
their own judges.

We publish to-day timely warning

tones will wake up the sleeping security Of
our citizens and their city government, upon

people and the authorities Of Louisville, have

every few days. Let no filth accumulate
