THE PRESIDENT OF THE U, 8. I'VE learn
from the best of authority that DOCTOR
EDSON B. OLDS, of Circleville, has been
appointed special agent ofMs Postofict
Department. and that this special agent
uses this commission to procure a free pass
over Railroads, and all lines that carry the
U. S. Mail. This is small contribution or
the part of the President, towards defray
ing the electioneering expenses OF the Doc
tor during the present canvass.
This is new phase of the corruption
system, now so prevalent at Washington
Nobody supposes that this man pretend
to preform any of the the duties ola Mail a

the people of this district to this startling
fact. AS the agent of the Government, h,

from the treasury of the United States
And yet all the time he is employed in hi'

He is the fit agent for such an admins
