SwINDLERs Nor TO HAVE Posi- OFFICE
BoXEs.-The Postmaster at New York has is-
sued an order, providing that after the end of
the present quarter all lottery policy and ticket
dealers, gift Jewery houses, immoral picture
and book sellers, and all known public swind
lers, will not be permitted to have boxes at the
general post-ofice. This order would take ef
feet at once, were it not that the box rents are
pad IN advance tor the current quarter. 1t is
a much needed reform, and the credit of it is
said to be due to the Mayor of New York. who
has long been laboring to break up these swind-
ling schemes, in which New York abounds, and
who requested the POst-Oihce authorities, some
time since, to refuse these operators the facility
of pOst-Othce boxes. 1t is to be hoped that the
movement, so well begun, will be continued
until these pests of society are thoroughly de-
prived Of the use of the mails for their swind-
ling purposes. A movement of this kind was
instituted in the Philadelphia post-ofiice some
years ago, and for more than a year past all
