posr MAsrER.-A petition was cir
culated in town Friday afternoon,
praying the Post Office Department
toappoint f, D. Hoy, the present
Deputy postmaster and step-son of
Vim, French, deceased, postmaster at
this place. The petition received
about two hundred signcrs, Rcpubli-
cans and Democrats alike signing it.
Yeta few Republicans to whom it
was presented, positively refused to
append their names, and who since
that time have gone to work to rob a
soldiers widow of the benefit of this
office, by circulating and signing a
petition to have II man who is worth
his thousands of dollars, appointed
as postmaster. Shame ON their pre-
tension of love for the soldier and
the soldiers widow and orphans,when
they thus rob one, whose husband was
asoldier in the Union cause, and was
to the day of his death, u warm and
active worker in the Republican par
ty, that rich merchant in this place
might be appointed. Radical pro
fcssion of love for the soldier is one
thing; thciraction toward the soldier
and his widow, is another and very
different thing Mr.. Hoy, as Dcpu-
ty, has given universal satisfaction,
and as postmaster, would be accept
ablcto nearly every person within
the delivery of this Office. We be-
licvc the Department will appoint
Mr.. Hoy, but whether it docs or not,
all honest people viii condemn the
course of this Radical Ring, which is
composed in part Of men who are
hardly yet residents Of this town.
