ANOTHER INSTANCE OF POST OFFICE MIsMANAGE-
MENT.
Another instance came TO our knowledge yesterday
Of this sross neficen,y and csreessnsss OF Post
Office oioisis. 1t appears Mr. n. Hooper, OF State
street, Boston, sent DRAFT too Metropolitan Bank,
for considerable amount, to Messrs r. Derby Co, of
this city the frst day Of May last and although she
letter properly directed to say found its
way to the dead letter office in Washington and fro
there sent back TO Mr. Hooper, who rema!ed to
il intended seven weeks after date No dou Of
drecB Of just such daily that come TO
light owing TO their being hushe1 up or thought too
trivial for publication Bat IL is evident that Post
Office system loosely arranged az to admit Of even
Of this kind deserving OF the severest repro
batsop and calls loudly for reform The feeling is be
Office Department Is old fogy humbug that hal bet
ter be abolished forthwith the letter carrying done
we cory the above from the NEW Yonk HERALD
Of June 23j ard beg leave to cay to ira. pslnt thai
the letter referred 70 was not forwarded when first
mailed, for the very good reason that Ar. Hopper
reelected to esy his postage; hence the letter was
returned TO Mr. Hooper. Thus, is appears that Nc.
Hooper was at fault in the matter and not the de-
partmeDt. Il 10 mighty easy for ndivlduas, ald the
cJess egen to find fault and misrepresent the Pcst
Office DEPARTMENT, particularly in tie abseacs OF
otl er matters TO amuse snsn, and noae ara more
IroI 10 co this than thoss disipterested patriots
who bsve either been removed from fsilei - os
tain office from these they derry. they will make
heap by the operation, and, perm APPS, get more
than they bargained for.
