COMPLAINTS OF THE MAILs.-Almost every paper
We open contains complains of the delay or non-re
ception of mail matter; and almost every day we
receive letters making similar complaints. We
trust the Department will endeavor to detect where
the faults lie. A subscriber at New Salem, Ran
dolph county, writes:
''There is some one in the service of the P. O.
Department who either neglects his duty or does
not know how to perform it Every man of bust
ness knows the value of good mail facilities Ours,
it is true not good if we were on the rail
road; but we have four mails week, and this is all
we ask if we could get our letters and papers &C
cording to the opportunities offered These are Of
ten delayed week beyond reasonable time, some
times causing loss to business of this place and
the vicinity. For instance, my brother started
North on the 18th of March, and on the 10th he
wrote to me from Baltimore, and received his let
ter on the Goth. On the 18th he wrote two letters
of importance to our business, and they have not
got here vet He reached home few days ago, and
if he had put the letters in his pocket instead of in
the mails, | should have received them. So it will
be seen that through carelessness between here and
Baltimore our business has been injured and the P.
O. Department has lost the postage three letters
for they would have been answered This will
suffice to show the importance Of the subject
There are in the United States upwards of twenty
five thousand postofices, and if through careless
ness there are three letters less sent from each one
in month than otherwise would be sent, the clear
loss to the Department is the postage on seventy
five thousand letters each month.
