The Letter Carriers.

Mr.. EDIroR:-I observe in this mornings
PRESS the following notice:
REMEMBER THE LETTER CARRIERs.-The
letter carriers will call at the houses where
they leave mail on New Years morning to
receive contributions from those who may
choose to aid them. 1t is but justice to say that
there is no class of public servants who work
more faithfully than the letter carriers ip this
city. Give them generous contribution and
encourage them to continue in the same man
ner.
[ do rot doubt that the article was we'll in
tended, nor will 1 disguise my qualification that
the carrier department of the post-office has
been managed to the satisfaction of the citi-
zens, but 1 feel it my duty to correct the
impression conveyed, perhaps Internationally
in your first sentence.
Upon entering on my official duties, was
specially directed to enforce the following
order:
Posi- OFFICE DEPARTMENT,
Washington, d. g., Nov. ?, 1871.
Complaints having been received that the
Letter carriers, at several of the free delivery
offices, solicit donations by means of New
Years addresses, and this practice being con-
sidered prejudicial to the service, and deroga-
tory to the respect carriers should at all times
command, it is therefore
Ordered, That the issuing of any address, or
substitute therefor, by letter carriers, intended
or calculated to induce the public to make them
donations, or the soliciting of presents by any
means whatever be forbidden.
(Signed) JNo. A j. CREswELL,
Postmaster General.
While it is neither my province nor my wish
to restrict the voluntary generosity of citizens,
L deprecate any approach toward that servilty
so unpleasantly conspicuous in some countries
of Europe and so unbecoming the self-respect
of an officer Of republic-a serviity which
solicits private reward for public service
already paid for by the government.
