Thomas P. Dennison, clerk in the Chicago
Post office, has been arrested and put in jail on
the charge of robbing letters of money. In his
possession were found packages of bank notes to
the amount of four thousand dollars, and it is
generally believed that from ten thousand to
fifteen thousand dollars have been taken in the
same way. 1t will be remembered that q

INSULTING AND IMBEGME.-T Post office de-
partment Of the United States, under its present
management, is one Of the most contemplate
pieces Of postal machinery with which patient
people were ever cursed. Not content with being
inefficient, every occasion insult and outrage is
laid hold Of with alaerity. Neither the public
interests or the public convenience, or the
public wish, seem to exercise the smallest infiu-
ence over the antiquated specimen Of feminine
humanity now welding supreme authority.

a NUISANCE ABATED.

1 We are very happy to see that the repeated
representations Of the police, the findings of
several grand juries, and the calls Of the press,
have at length effected the shutting up OF that
| black hole known as the First District lookup
From and after yesterday it is not to be used
for the confinement Of human beings---a purpose
to which it should never have been put, unless
with the intent Of producing suffocation. We
called the attention Of our City Fathers to the
matter nearly year ago, and gave them such
a representation and picture Of the place as
ought to have led to some immediate action.
None was taken, however, and unless it had
| been for the finding Of the late jury, and the
prompt proceedings Of Judge Robertson in reply
| thereto, we might have had the criminal and
unfortunate of this district confined, during the
summer months, in hole not fit to be tenanted
by descent dogs.
This lookup to which we refer is the most
important one in the city, and annually con-
| tains much larger number Of prisoners than
| any other-as the arrests Of this district are
double those Of any other, excepting the Second,
| and much more numerous than those there. 1t
1 is fact, nevertheless, that the accommodations
for lodging prisoners are infinitely better in the
Third and Fourth Districts than they are here
the cells are larger, more numerous, better ven
tilated and better arranged; the conyenienoes
are every way greater, and they are equally
| safe. 1t is high time that the present abomina-
| ton, into which sometimes fifty or sixty priso-
ners are crammed, should be cleaned out and
done away with. 1t is not in our criminal code,
nor that Of any other nation, that man should
be put in jeopardy Of his life because he was
found drunk or arrested on suspicion, nor that
decent woman, who may have been taken up on
frivolous or malicious complaint, should be
compelled for twenty four hours TO endure the
rawlings, obscenities and abuse Of drunken pros
titutes from st. John or Perdido streets. Neither
is it good for the city that gang Of murderers
or robbers should be locked in one cell together
and allowed to fabricate defense for the old
crime Or plot measures for new one. Yet,
under the present arrangements, all these things
and more must be suffered for want Of proper
accommodations.
tits high time that the First District should
build a lookup that will be equivalent to the
wants Of the District. Whether the present
abominable affair could, by any means, be 50 re-
arranged as to meet that want, we are unable
to say, but entertain some doubts as to its fea-
sibility. If it cannot be done, then new and
sufficient building should be erected at once one
having sufficient number of cells SO eonstruc.
ted as to be comfortable to those put in them.
Punishment properly commences with convic-
ton, but now the seyerest punishment is inflicted
between the time of arrest and trial Some
Al.
we hope to see the thing carried through.
