and does not auth Vrlze him to compel contracts
for the performance of the work. The railroads

the law now stands, Of the three hundred aaG'

there are one hundred and thirty-seven On
which the mails are transported without csa-

BY the retrenchment effected by these 70.
forms, and by getting rid Of useless routes, sssh
as the Tehuantepec, and by the practice a
economy in some other branches Of the service
the Post Office might be made selfsustainiag
institution, as 1t is in England, and letters de-
livered to the address without charge beyond
the postage This would be great boon to
the poor, and save rich and poor and the car
riers from trouble. Often housekeepers have
not two cents at hand, and the carrier will not
leave the letter without payment. One object
of prepayment in the postage of letters is thus
defeated, and to remedy the annoyance it
would be better even to make uniform rate
of four or five cents postage, and have the let
tiers delivered at the address without further
charge; and all "drop letters in cities should
be delivered free when bearing postage
stamp of two cents. That pays in London and
other towns Of England. Why not heres
The total revenue Of our Post Office for the
year 1859 is $7,96S,4s4. The expenses are
$l5,754,O92. The income, therefore, is only
about half the expenditure whereas in England
the government derives considerable revenue
from its Post Office, while postage is cheaper
than it is here. What is to prevent the great
republic of the New World practising as much
economy in its mail service as any of the mo
marches of the Old World? and what good
reason can be assigned for the Post Office being
heavy burthen, instead of selfsupporting
institution, in country in which general eds-
cation is far more widely diffused than it is in
England?
