An INVENTOR TAKEN Yesterday
one Of the inventors who had submitted a
model Of his street lelter-box to the Post
Office Department for inspection called to
see why his box, which was Che felt assured)
the best one which had been presented, had
been rejected. He was incredulous when In
formed that his box was not secure, and that
letters had been taken out Of 1t. Notwith-
standing several Of the clerks attested the
fact that the box had been picked, he would
not admit the possibility of Its being done,
offering t5 TO any one who would take let
ter from It. His offer was promptly accepted
by one OF the clerks In the Department. The
letter was deposited In the box, and the clerk
set to work TO extract it, and in few min
utes 1t was placed in the hands OF the box
man, who paid the promised reward, but
claimed 1t had not been fairly done, and Of
fered to bet twice the amount that II could
not be done unless the box was moved. Tn,
wager was accepted, and the oyer-sanguinC
patentee placed the box In position and the
letter In the box. This time II was presto
change and the letter was out again. The
wager was paid, and the inventor, with his
box under his arm, left the Department with
visions of castles built on Post Office con.
tracts crumbllng around him.

NEW York AND THE FIFTEENTH AMEND
MEST.-welearn with satisfaction that Gov
crnor Hoffman has declined to be party to
the revolutionary project, commended by
two or three Democratic journals, for de-
feating the action of our State Legisla-
ture last winter In ratifying the fifteenth
amendment. II was proposed that the Leg
islature chosen this winter, II Democratic,
should repeal the vote Of ratification passed
BY the last Legislature, and thus postpone
at least II not prevent the final adoption Of
the amendment In question. Meantime II
WAS Q part of the scheme that Governor
Hoffman should not forward the resolution
OF last winter under the impression-an er-
roneous one, as we showed q few days since
that the vote OF New York could not be
counted until officially communicated by the
executive. Governor Hoffman wisely de-
clines to underlie the suspicion Of being a
party to any such cabal, and has transmitted
his official certificate Of the vote to ratify to
the Secretary Of State, and has thus kindly
deprived the contrivers OF this mlschievous
plot of the rope with which they were pre-
pairing to hang themselves.-N. Y. Times.
