IMPORTANT TO NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. attention
has been called to the fact that some postmasters
are in the habit of sending back to the mailing office
letters reaching them for delivery, because they
were not prepaid by stamps but by money. This
is wrong, and arises from misapprehension Of
the law. In case, indeed, should letter, after
it has reached the Office of delivery. be returned
for postage, much less should it be returned be
cause the postage was not paid by stamps. 1t il
the general duty of pestmasters to that letters
are prepaid by stamps, but when (having been
prepaid in cash, either through ignoranee'of the
law, or inadvertence, want of stamps the part
of the mailing postmaster) they reach their des
tnaton it is the duty of the postmaster to deliver
them the same as though prepaid by stamps
