BRINGING THEM UP TO TME.-Post Master
General DENNIsON has issued a circular that
ia calculated to accelerate the transmission of
mails materially. He asks of the railroad
managers that they forward all time tables
and all changes with. promptness. These are
to be put into the hands of the clerks, who
are to note every failure On the delivery of
through mail ON time inquire what road
caused the delay, and report accordingly.
Every delay thus reported will be charged
against the road causing it, and fine there
for will be assessed, which will be deducted
from the next payment to the road for mail
transportation. Heavy trains will in no case
be taken as an excuse for failure to connect,
or for tardy connections. The ground is
taken by the Department that mail trains
must on no account be made so heavy as to
prevent them from making schedule time.
There fair arrangements, it is hoped, will do
something towards remedying the Irregular
ties concerning which so much and such just
complaint has been made.
