terday had the pleasure of greeting in our
city this gentleman, the Second Assistant
Postmaster General. With his lady, he
IS on visi. to his former residence in To-
". He has been indeiatigable in the dis
charge Of his duties, and has earned for
himself the just reputation of an efficient,
Impartial, and courteous officer, and will
meet ! cordial reception from all his old
friends and former acqnaintances. He
has been unwearied in his efforts to have
Justice done TO the West, and if in this he
has not been as successful as could be de-
sired, he has certainly accomplished a
great deal. During his snjourn in this
quarter, he will acquire information that
will be valuable, and, we trust, lead TO re-
formations on his return to Washington.
