New Orleans daily crescent. [volume] ([New Orleans, La.]) 1851-1866, 1857-05-23
Postal Miscries.

We are not about to indite Jeremiad nor cry
aloud for deliverance from irremedable evils. That
Of which the caption above is faint intimaton has
become disease whchwe believe to be chrouics but
not altogether ncurable, and like all other Diseases
it is likely to mend by the proper remedies than
by any amount of 1etting and snarlug over it. But,
when one has endured long and patiently, he feels
that he has right to let the fact be known, to pro-
claim it to the world if inclined and to set forth mi
nutey the several specifications Of his grievance. We
do not propose to do this just at present. mainly for
the that mghtappear out of place, inasmuch
as the mails have, for nearly one week up to-day
Saturday come to hand as late as due from several
of the large towns and cities of the United States.
Besides editor from distant part Of the State in
formed us day or two since that the newspapers of
this city are frequently received in his parish (De
Soto) by mail late be expected and that the
Crescent is seldom behind schedule time. He is
Democrat, this remote editor and herplumed him
self upon this circumstance as cedtabe to the intel
hgence and integrity of the Democratic postmasters
of the State. We might have undeceived him by in
tmating the fact that the Crescent is fast paper and
that it is mailed with exceeding promptness, but his
statement took us so completely by surprise and
seemed altogether incredible that before we had su
iicently recovered our presence of mind to inquire
further into the matter he babe us goodday, bowed
politely and withdrew the light of his countenance.
We have further reason for not being at present
in querulous humor with postal operations, indeed,
one which whenever we think of it inspires the most
tender and amiable sentiments towards everything
bearing the semblance of mail bag and that reason
is that we seldom now receive our Oregon and Cali
ornia mails via New York of yore, and the eccen
trio and wandering habits of the New York mails
have become far corrected that they have almost
trely ceased coming around by San Francisco and ST.
Louis.
1t would however, take many reforms quite as radi-
cal as this to completely wipe out the memory of the
numberless postal wrongs and mseres which have
been inflicted upon New Orleans within a few years
past. If ever community endured with patience and
long suffering the Affections of bad postal system
wretchedy administered it has been that of this city
and we have misgivngs that the end is not yet.
