4 DISTRESSING STATE or AFFAIRS
\ Washington special of The lith
inst, says: The postotliee department
has great difficulty III the management
of the postal affairs in the infected dis
tricts. At Grenada the situation is par
tcularly distressing. The postmaster
died n few daysago, when telegraphic
appeal was received requesting that his
wife, who was not very well, be nm
pointed his successor, ms the money wns
needed The department replied
that they would wait until she recover
ed before appointing her. This morn
ing n dispatch was received that she was
dead All the bondsmen are dead, or
have left the city. All the money,
stamps, and records Of the Office are
locked in II safe, and the only persons
who know the combination are dcad.
A clergyman isnow acting rs volunteer
postmaster for two hours daily. All
this is in violation Of law on the part of
the department, but there il no remedy
The department has daily appica-
tons from numbers Of reckless adven-
turers md charitable persons To accept
positions iii the south. They all come
from unacclimated persons, and are me-
ccssarily declined. One enthusiastic
youth Of - today volunteered 10 acta
special agent to visit every post-oflice
in the infected districts, aud to resign
at the end Of the epidemic If desired
His services were not accepted.
