Esq, from the Chicago post Office !;
and after having spent large amount
Of time and mooey,-after having
made use Of all the unfair aud foul
means its editors. managers and the
Tunes junto at large conld by any
manner Of means bring TO bear-after
having secured the streets, lanes and
by-ways Of Chicago and made numer-
ons pilgrimages to Washington to car
~ out its nefarious scheme,-after oil
this and thousand other attempts in
oil but honorable ways, the Chicago
Times has been compelled to back
down from its position, and acknowl-
edge with shame its defeat. Postmas-
ter Cook will remain in the place be
now occupies, and the Chicago Times
has learned to its sorrow that its dirty
tricks can avail nothing.
With brazen effrontcry which would
do honor to professional knaves, the
editors Of that paper state that they
have "never been in any way instru-
mental in getting up charges against
Mr.. Cook" Now that kind of talk
may do among the horse marines, but
no white man who has ever read the
papers" would give the assertion,
though it we're made on q death bed
any credit whatever. 1t is altogether
too late in the day to attempt to deny
anything. Better stand up to the
rack, editors of the Times, take your
regular fodder acknowledge that you
have made yourselves contemplate in
this post office matter promise to
leave of your bad tricks repent, and
hereafter not attempt to NEEDLE with
edged tools or try to appropriate any
thing that lies so far out Of your reach
as does the Chicago Post Office.
