MAIL ARRANGEMENTS.
The United States mail service is sadly dis
arranged. The cause is, perhaps, not easily
explained by the initiated. The fact, how.
ever, exists beyond all doubt, and those in
authority should change it. In our immediate
vicinity, the failure must be attributed to care
lsSSneSs or misunderstanding with the post
masters. We uniformly mail our paper on
Thursday evening. The mail for Whitewster,
in this county, leaves on Friday morning, aud
should reach that office on Saturday, BY a cross
mail from Newport. For the past FIVE weeks,
our paper has not been received at Whitewa-
ter until the Saturday following. Our packets
for Webster, Williamsburg. Washington, and
several other places in this county, have been
equally long in arriving at their destination
We do not know who is TO blame, but respect
fully call the attention Of post masters 10 the
matter, and ask as a special favor, that care
be taken in future to secure the eafly trans
mission of the papers. =.
Our object, however, in referring to the
disarrangement Of the mails is to introduce the
following preamble and resolutions, adopted
at the meeting of the City Council, on Tues
day evening last. The delays complained OF
seriously affect the business operations Of our
commercial men, and subject others 10 great
inconvenience. We hope some change may
be made, satisfactory to the Railroad compa-
and the public. MesSrs. Lewis Burk, G.
r. Coffin, and Jason Ham, were appointed the
committee on behalf Of the Council:
Whereas, On account Of q want Of proper
understanding between the Indiana Central
Railway Company, and the Cincinnati, Ham
snd Dayton Railway Company, and the
Office department of the United States,
the mail from Dayton to Indianapolis through
This city, continues 10 be carried upon the Ma
road by horses, and the mail from Gin
cinnati is allowed TO lie over "a hours at Ham
ilton, instead Of being brought directly to this
city, as it has been. and should be, greatly to
the inconvenience and disadvantage of the
business men and citizens generally Of. this
sity. "a
Resoloed, That a select committee be ap-
pointed 10 endeav"r by petition TO the departs
ment, negotiations with the aforesaid Railway
Companies, and otherwise, as IN their judg-
men. mny appear proper, to effect a permanent
arrangement by which the mailsmay be brought
this city in the most speedy and direct man
ner.
Rssolued, That any expense which said
committee find It pecessary TO incur in endea-
voring to effect said object, II fbep paid outof
he city treasury.
The cause of the delay in forwarding the
mail from Cincinnati to this place, and Offices
north and west Of us, is the conduct of the
Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton Railroad
Company. That company has the contract for
the mail, and by their schedule with
the Department, are required TO leave the city
in the train that leaves at about 8 O'Clock, and
does not arrive at Hamilton in time for the
train for this place-hence the mail
there until the next morning. Previ-
TO the first Of June they sent the mail for
place, and beyond here, on the 8 O'clock
which comes through. But for the pur-
pose Of securing more pay from the Depart
ment, or some other cause, they now refuse
10 bring the mail as they did previous to the
of this month. e'make this statement
from the fact that it has been SAID that the de-
lay occurred al this place. Such is not the
fact; and we hops an arrangement may be
between the Department and Railroad
Company which will enable as te obtain an
earlv mail from the c;fv
