throws some light upon the frequent delay Of the
mails between this city and New York:
1.-THE competition between the PENNSYLVANIA
Central and the Baltimore and Ohio railroads,

resulted In such serious delays In the malls, has

nlcnt Is Informed that the Pennsylvania road now
places the postal-cars In the centre OF the Joint
train, and compels the postal clerks to open the
doors AZ both ends, and To permit the postal-car

Is In direct violation OF an order OF the Postmss
ter General, which provides that the postai-cars
are strictly private, and are ct no time to be en-
tered by any persons except tho regular and
