Our Waiis-Letter from Post ns;lss
ter marks, &C., &c.

The subjoined letter will satisfy our ,ea-
| ders that the mails for this portion of the
State, leave New Orleans every day, and that
no blame whatever can attach TO Col. Marks,
the present efficient Postmaster, at NO.
We claim to have a daily mail to this point,
but occasionally our contractors favor us with
| a weekly. Now we wish to know to whom
the blame attaches in this important matte. !?
The difficulty is between this place and
Natchez, and we think it the duty Oft the Post
Master General to look after bis obiying
contractors and see that they comply with the
| stipulaions as laid down in their CONTRACTS.
We expect to look into this matter, ard
place the blame exactly where it belongs, no
matter whose head it may harm. The evi
dent villainy in the affair shall be ferretted
out, and the guilty shall suffer the penalty
Our letters and papers are frequently fifteen
days in reaching this point, from New Or
leans, Nicksburg, and Natchez! Now We
ask why is this delay? Who caa tell We
shall see. 1t will never do to put it lp SO, Mr.
Brown.

FRIEND BARD In reply to your enquire
about the Monroe mails, | have to inform
YOU ,hat we make up, and SEMI a mail to

Nachez, Miss, and 1Iarrisonburg, La.
Very Respectfully,
S. 7. MARKS, 7. NJ.
The above remarks and accompanying
letter are from the Ouachita Register Of the
1921, inst Orr s,x, IN vi ,,o,,.o H. or,,o :;
that the Natchez mail arrives at this place
every evening, except Sunday and the
Monroe mail leaves this place every morning,
Except Sunday.)
Our New Orleans exchanges, which come
out on Saturday are generally received at this
office on the Monday toIlowing-they are
never beyond Tuesday in arriving here. We
personally know, also, that there is no mail
matter for the Monroe route suffered to re-
main i'll the post office tere, over one night,
Therefore the riiiainy is not in the Harri-
sonburg Office. II papers are fifteen days in
going from New Orleans to Monroe, neither
the contractors on the route from Natchez
to Monroe or orr faithful post master are to
blame. We voqch for this, as we are daily
cognizant Of their doiugs in the premises.
With but a very few exceptions, the mail
from Natchez to this place, has been con-
stantly coming very nearly to schedule time,
ever since the present contractor took charge
OF the route. From here to Monroe there
never has been failure.
This negligence of duty, if the Bard sings
to note, must come home to the Natchez,
Trinity Or Columbia Offices, and we wish
them to keep clean their boxes, as the above
snecles Of B0rdism is ANYTHING but pleasant.

seems to Us, that inasmuch as he was found
