hn h,,1 lnt,v hno u1
of the Exchange letter from Mr.. w. C..
Black, president of the Exchange, to the
Postmaster General, in which he calls the
attention of that officer to the inconvenience
suffered by the merchants of New Orleans
from the mails to the interior and to the
Northern and Eastern cities being closed at
p. M, which does not allow them time to
notify their correspondents by post of the
current business of the day. He cOnse-
quently memorializes the head of the de.
partment to make such arrangements, if
practicable, as will allow the mail to
the points indicated above to be closed
not earlier than 6 p. NJ. In sup
port of his application the presi-
dant refers to the fact that the values
handled by our cotton trade during
the seven business months of the year
amount to $lO0,00O,000, and contribute q
large portion Of the foreign exports of the
country. We hope that this perfectly
proper application will receive the immedi-
ate attention it merits, and result in such
arrangement in the railway postal service
as will reduce the time hence to New York
to seventy hours or less, and thereby en-
able our postmaster to keep the mail open
until the time specified. There can be no
doubt that, owing to the conflicting inter
ests of railroads, the mails from New Or
leans to New York are carried over larger
distance than necessary, and that it is prac-
ticable to reduce the time from seventy two
hours to seventy, or perhaps sixty-eight.
Mobile and other Southern cities are con.
cerned in this matter as we'll Is New Or
leans.
