The Government is preparing to re-
cover its postal revenue due from delin-
quent debtor postmasters. When the
rebellion broke out most of the 5000
postmasters in the rebel States were large.
ly in arrears for stamps and newspaper
postage. BY special act passed last
winter, not only can the real estate Of the
post iaaster aud his sureties be seized by
attachment, but the publication Of such
attachment IL served to every debter to
the delinquentsto pay their debts to the
United States and not to the ex post
master. Under this law large amounts
will be saved to the Post Office Depart
ment. 49, .. .3+
