appointment Office, Dec % 1852.
SRlu August last letter was addressed to you from
this office, in relation TO complaint made the Depart
ment by Mr. W Oakley, through the Hon Messrs Moore
and Penn Of your charge Of cent way on steam
boat letters and in reply to the inquiry your
sructon Of the law under which you acted you referred
To the 10th Of the OF I'd March 1875 containing
authority to justify you in making the charge complained
Of The letter referred to written by the Acting First
Assistant Postmaster General during my temporary alb
sence from the Department, and had not the opportunity
of investigating the matter until recently. when il was
again submitted by the Hon. Mr. Penn Before bringing
the subject TO the attention Of the Postmaster General
examined the section referred to by you as well as the
subsequent act of Congress bearing upon the question
Looking to the 10Th section alone admit TINT the prac
ce pursued in your Office would conform strictly
to the requirements Of said section but taking con
Sderaton the bearing OF late act aEds it appears to
mc-the plain intent and meaning it conveys conceive
that your practice Of charging The additional cent, will
not only be continued 20 be complained Of but is obvious
ly in opposition to the law
The charge on Way Letters as provided for by the 10Th
section OF the act of 1928 evidently refers toway letters
on land roures and not those conveyed by steamboats,
The 18th section Of the act of 1876 provides that the re-
quremonts the 9th section Of the act of 1926 shall be
strictly complied with far the delivery of all letters
Conveyed by steamboatsexcept such relate to the
cargo-o the Postmaster at the port place to which
they may be directed but in subsequent part Of the
SAID section says that such letters shall be subject to
the same rates would have been charged had they been
conveyed in the mail The object of this Letter Law was
no doubt to establish what was not provided for by the
9th section Of the act Of S5 viz the of postage to
be charged over river routes hence ii the directed
10 MI odky had been transmitted in the mail the charge
would be, prcpaid three cents single and unpaid five
cents, and nothing additional for way
Therefore the Postmaster General fully comedies with
ne in tue opinion that the charge of one cent additional
on letters brought by steamboats, the Mississippi River
to New Orleans is not authorised by proper consruc-
ton e the law and regulations Of the Department and
the practice should be discontinued and where the
cent is demanded by steamboats, their agents for the
delivery into your one. Of such letters should be paid
out Of the regular and added to the legal most
age Of the letter received
Very respectfully, your obl't seryt

went about two o'clock, and found the even
ing services already commenced. The place Is
most appropriate for religious worship, being a
beautiful grove of venerable oak and pine trees
and, although the sun was shining in ell his
strength, his rays but family penetrated the
dense foliage Of this quiet and shady retreat.
In the centre OF these woods rude stand was
erected Tor tho preachers. One was quite .
venerable oolored man, with bald head and
locks Of gray who sat with his head reveren-
tally inclined and eyes bent on the ground.
He seemed as father 10 the younger brethren,
who regarded him with degree Of considers
ton and respect. Those who occupied the scat
with him were q darker color, bat good look
ing men. Benches we're placed around the
stand, and were occupied BY goodIy number
of colored people Of both sexes, very respscts-
bly, dressed, who listened with intense interest
and oppressed their appreciation BY smiles and
frequent responses
