We last week called attention to one falsohood
contained in an item in the Independent of Decem-
Der IL. We then mentioned only one, because we
take those things zone at time !" This week, we
proceed TO faisehood number hoo. In the item re-
ferred to, the editor proceeds to " lay down the
law" in regard to advertising letters thus
"Tho law requires their publication, quarterly,
| in the paper having the largest circulation in the
vicinity of the Office
The law requires such thing. The regula.
tions of the Post Office Department founded on an
act approved on the 3D. of March, lS63-which took
effect on the 1st of July last in regard to adver-
tisng letters, as follows:
l. At post Offices where the gross receipts amount
to $1,000 or more per annum, letters are to be ad-
vertised once week, in newspapers, and the regu-
lations of 1859 will govern the selection Of news
! papers.
2. At all other Offices letters are to be advertised
once month by posting manuscript lists, for which
no compensation will be allowed
The Independents reasons for thus falsifyng the
law, are thus given:
"Our objsct in stating the facts is simply to
show that Ashley don't allow his Office holders to
observe the law when its observance might give a
few pennies to somebody that he can't use"
This is equivalent to an admission that when he
wants to give Mr.. Ashley "dig," he don't care
whether he tells the truth or not.
Concerning the false statement which we last
week "nailed to him." he plead" didn't know I"
He will probably do the same thing in the present
instance. Then he had better label himself" Ig-
norance is bliss p After whichh will doubtless be
able to make his "handbill" as" interesting as
he can p
In regard to advertising letters, the Post Office
Department allows the Post Master hero nothing
for t-for the receipts of the Office do not
amount to $1,000 per annum. But, for the con
venience of the public, MIR. Pomeroy has con
cluded to advertise them, at his expense, in

At first, it may not pay even running expenses but
when it becomes known that the Company will fur

in the morning and returning in the evening, the
villages along the line Of the road will become the

We are informed by Mr.. Roach that the train
