PREPAYMENT OF POSTAGE TO BIZ MADE BY
STAMPS ONLy-It will be recolected that by the
act Of March 3, 1855, requiring the postage on all
letters not free sent by mail within the United
States and not from or to foreign country to be
prepaid, 1t was also enacted that from and after
January j. 1856, "the Postmaster General may re-
qure postmasters to place postage stamps upon all
prepaid letters upon which such stamps may not
have been placed by the writer" In view Of this
fact the Union says:
We learn that the Postmaster General has deci
died to require postmasters TO comply with and car
~ into effect this provision of the law and if not
already done. to supply themselves with postage
stamps accordingly by sending their order for
them to the Third Assistant Postmaster General
OF course it is not intended nor expected that this
regulation shall throw upon postmasters the labor
Of afxing postage stamps to letters where the wri
tiers might without Inconvenience have done il for
themselves. The main thing is for postmasters
to keep. them selves supplied with stamps that all
persons having occasion to may readily obtain
them.
