The Mails.

The Male.
Great complaints are uttered on all hands about
the irregularity Of the mails. The annoyances to
our own citizenf-and they have been sreat-seem
owing more to the recklessness of contractors or
their agents, than 10 Post Masters. We have re-
ceived several items from whose business calls
him to look into these matters and were we not
sured that he would report them to the proper au-
thortics, and that remedial measures had already
been instituted, should most assuredly give such
items in detail. We understand that quite guam
tty of mail matter left over night in a public
yard in Beardstown, short time since. We also
hear that at the point where the mail matter to this
place and Keokuk is separated, the Post Master or
his deputy, instead of dividing it according to the
direction, made division to bus and sent it, r-
respective oft direction. Such things ought not
so to be.
The greatest annoyance to citizens in this re-
gion grows out of the use that is made Of the Ke-
okuk Office as distributing office. Mail matter jim
tended for Burlington, Yellow Spring, Mount Pleas
ant, Denmark, New London, Hartford and places
directly north and west OF us. come in packages d.
rected "Keokuk D. P. O." They are sen. to Keo-
kuk, and in day or two come back to this Office
destination. This is great annoyance, anu is the
subject of animadversion among all our citizens.
Postmasters east of us, have reason to believe,
have been informed that Keokuk is not the Dstri-
buting Office for eastern Mail matter-in fact We
need no distributing Office in the State-and they
should no longer direct it to that point. All that is
required their part is little and this great
difficulty can be renedied. They should also I'M
derstaad, by the map, that the west be reached
from this point as soon as from any other.
The winter has been propitiou 20 contractors.
There has hardly been day to prevent the regular
transmission of the maitland as far as the stages
are concerned there have been very few failures
yet our exchanges come dated so far back that they
are Of no to us. This is mainly owing to the
instruction given to mail matter intended for this
region. To illustrate: The st Louis Union has
hardly failed being received at TINS place since the
close of navigation, in three days from date; while
the Republican and other valuable papers have been
from nine to twelve days. The reason is, the Tn
ion is sent to this place via 2ushvi.le or Peoria,
and; and the other papers zig Kon, and
from Springfield directly through Peoria or Rush
vile and Macomb it will arrive in season; but il it
is sent to Keokuk, it may have to remain several
days at Warsaw, before it can reach that place, as it
has done, and serious delay may result.
We know the Department at Washington is de-
sirons of avoiding these evils, and we hope Post
Masters and Contractors will be more careful, in
the performance Of their duty and no longer bring
disfepute upon their employers, while all the blame
attaches to themselves.
