r. II.
We are favored this morning with
csId from the Postmaster OF this city
who assures our readers, upon author
ily, that we will shortly have the
best postal facilities over the Baltimore
Il Ohio Railroad that our people
have ever enjoyed. We arc sure those
ofour readers interested will rejoice with
US in the prospect. Yet We take the lib
erty OF thinking the laborious exertions ol
the Department in this direction, referred
to by him, have not thus far been crowned
with remarkable success. Not very long
ago the way mail left the city over that
road at an early hour in the morning.
Nobody, either inthe city or country, COM
planned Of that arrangement That was
well enough, and all would have been sat.
is6ed Il well enough had been let alone.
But that was improved by holding the
mail four or five hours and sending It out
near the middle ol the day. And since
the Department has begun specially 70
exert" lis energies for our benefit this
arrangement has been 80 much further
improved that the mails are held over
till evening and sent out Tor distribution
on the first hundred miles Of the road at
night. It requires some patience" we
must confess, to reconcile such results as
these with the efforts Of the Department
to give our people the best mail facilities
they have ever had. 81
We are not convinced by the Postmas.
ter's sarcasm that the structures INDUCED
by the local press have been either imper'
tlnent or without value. II the promised
facilities are restored, it will be largely
due, we think, Y the vigorous denuncis-
ton OF present arrangements by the local
papers. The Railroad officials, we are
aware, feel that Ney cannot afford to be
responsible for a continuance Of them, and
they are thinking Of an early train from
this city to Grafton, on which the mail
can be carried IL the p. o. authorities
will permit. We suppose they would
have run an early train all the time II the
P. o. Department had required it.
The Postmaster's suggestion TO the pa
pers about how they should regulate their
criticisms Of the P. o. Department does
not strike us as In the happiest taste, or as
likely to have modifying influence on
such sElctures in future. Olcourse the
papers are liable to be mistaken about
details; but they have not been mistaken
about the main facts, which are anything
but croditable TO those responsible for
them.
