Abstract Of the Report of Postmaster General

This report opens with an alusion to the death of
the late Postmaster General and Third Assistant
Postmaster General which filled this Department
with gloom and Encouragement. Associated with
this double calamity, came another which awakened
painful anxieties, not only from its intrinsic magni-
tude, but from the fact that the history of the gov
ernment from its foundation furnished no parallel
for such disaster-alluding to the failure of the
Postal bill
The expenditures and revenue is then given, the
substance of which is published in the Message In
answer to the Senates resolution the report states
that the whole number of dead letters during the
last fiscal year is estimated at 100000 including
about 100000 "drop letters" and $4,000 held
for postage" Deducting these two classes, the
number of letters actually ..veyed in the mails
and failing to reach the p .ohs addressed, may be
estimated at less than +, millions (2,OOO,OOO a
year. More than fifty P int. of the entire accu-
mutation Of dead letters occurs at about 40 out of
the 2s,5S9 post Offices including, of course, the
large cities and towns. ~.- ...~
Newspaper Exchanges" impose heavy and un-
Just burden on the Department, and the Postmaster
General states that if the press is to be excepted
and is to be subsidized to the extent of its hostages
by the government, then, undeniably, such subsidy
should be contributed from the common treasury
instead of being imposed as at present. on the o.
pressed revenues Of the Post Office Department.
