Senator Summers Health.

Senator Summers physician states that
the condition of the former is very bad
indeed. He has frequent occurrences of
acute pain in the region of the heart, a
relic of the spinal difficulty which has
afflicted him for the last fifteen years.
These attacks are very violent and pros
trating, but are of short duration. The
Senator suffers from the loss of sleep, and
on retiring each night has an opiate intro
duced under the skin of the arm, from the
influence of which alone slumber is in
duced.

Sir; In your last issue of January 9th,
you. would seem 20 imply the fact
that there is gross negligence or care
lessness in my Office, for the simple reason
that several persons have failed to get
their papers regularly. You nsk me to
investigate. 1 have done so, Of the
two gentlemen who complains Of not get.
ting their papers, viz: Mr.. Smell and DIR.
Murray, find the following, the real
facts:' Mr.. SHELLS minil goes into box
with several others. Your paper was
issued December 18th, 1872. The 25th
being Christmas day, there was no paper
issued from the Times office. This ac-
counts for one paper, the Issue which
should have been published OH the 1st
January, 1873, was not scht from Tie
"Tmcs" office until the Sd inst, (Friday)
Mr.. Smell, it is probable, in fact, did send
for his mail Wednesday or Thursday, the
1st and 2nd inst, and as no paper had
been issued then, he did not get it. On
Saturday some member of the "c1ub'
took out the mail, and being late when
he got home it was not delivered immedi-
ately. On the following Monday, Mr..
Smell complains of not having received
his paper for three weeks. (from 18th
December, 1872, to January 9th, 1878,
lacks two days Of being three weeks. His
paper is now in the office for this week.
In regard to DR.. Murray's paper, it has
not been sent to this Office for several
weeks. You saw yourself that it was not
in the Office yesterday after the papers
weic distributed, so the fault evidently
is with your mailing clerk. In conclu-
sion would here state that a great many
persons send by irresponsible parties for
their mail. And fit is not delivered by
them, surely I should not be held respon-
sible. 1t is impossible to please every
body, but whether I have done my duty
as Postmaster, / leave To the public gen-
orally, who have business with my office.
Respectfully, T. DeMars.
