Post Office Department imperatively require
that the postage on all transient printed mat
ter shall be prepaid by postage stamps, and
thatsuch matter shall be distinctly post -maI ked
at the mailing Office. Yet this regulation, like
the one above referred to, is frequently NO

also become common, among certain GLASS d
postmastsrs, of buying patronage to thsir re-
spective Offices to the injury of those naturally
entitled to it, by allowing the mailing party q
portion Of their own commission. The Depart.

glect on the part of q postmaster to obey the
above instructions, or any such unfair practice
for obtaining patronage, will be considered good
cause for the removal of the offender.

an unusual share of attention to the correction
Of abuses in the postal service, from which the
Government suffered very materially These
abuses, generally, do not consist in positive
violations Of the laws, but rather in neglect,
on the part of postmasters, to perform the
functions Of their positions according to the
regulations Of the Department contained in
tho circular Of instructions delivered to them
one Of the most frequent of these cases of ne.
g'ec' Is the failure to cancel postage stamps,
and although the omission to deface q stamp
now and then appears like trifing matter,
when we take into consideration the vast mum.

large proportion Of the revenue which sbould
accrue to it from this source, through onIv
occasional neglect.
