THE DISADVANTAGES OF THE SYSTEM.
NEW YORK. Feb. -, 1879.

NEW YORK, Feb. ~, 1879.
To THE EDITOR THE HERALD
In view Of the recent order Of the Postmaster Gen
eral disseminating the agencies for the sale of post
age stamps in all the large cities of the Union after
March 81 the following points may be of some
interest to the public. particularly those who from
convenience. have been buying their stamps from
the agences:-
There are at present in this city about seventy five
of these agencies. selling altogether annually about
$1.000,OO0 of stamps, upon which they allowed
by the government commission of one per cent or
about $40, 900 year lthe figures give think in
excess of the actual amount; this amount divided
among seventy-fve agents will give average of
Sl33 80 paid yearly to each for aording the pub
lie the convenience of getting what stamps they may
require without having to go the General Post Office
for them and there waiting in line half day perhaps
to get to the little windows at which stamps sold
That do not exageratejn this last item let any in
terested party into the department Of the General
Post Office where stamps sold in larger sums
than 81 and the line of people awaiting their
and he will notice the length of time they have
to wait before being served.
Now, if this is the state of affairs at present, what
will it be when these seventyfve agencies abol-
shed? 1t will result either in there being
putting the public to the Inconvenience annoy
ance and delay OF going to the General Post Office for
their stamps. where where twill it will be be absolutely
employees to attend to that department. In
either case it will cost the government
not less than the amount paid in commissions to
these agencies, while will merchants and the
public generally incalculable delay and inconven-
ience Some years ago purchasers of stamps in sums
of 800 and upward were allowed commission of
Ave per cent that was abolished and agencies
established allowing them two per cent their pur
chases This was continued until JEWELL admins
tration. when the commission reduced to
per cent. and now worthy Postmaster General,
in the interest of economy called abolishes this
altogether. Truly. Mr.. Editor. you might well say
this is one cent economy. petition is in cir
cuation requesting tho Postmaster General TO revoke
his order where it applies to New York. which mer-
cants and others would do well to sign. CURIOUS.

4 DEMOCRATIC meeting was held at Nick
town, this county, last Saturday forenoon.
Quite a number of Democrats from other
points, Including delegations from Ebens-
burg, CaTrOlltOwn, etc, entered the town in
the morning, with music playing and flags
flying. just as the procession reached the
corporate limits of the village where the
talking was to be done and listened to, one
of the StrangeSt of strange things tTanSpired.
\ raccoOn emerged from the primeval forest,
where its home had always been, and, squat
ting Itself within a few feet of the procession,
remained there to be made willing captive!
When is is remembered that the Taccoon is
the acknowledged political emblem of the
JohnStOwn Tribune and Of Cambria county
Republicans generally, and not forgetting
that Nicktown and points thereunto imme-
diateIv adjacent constituted the Waterloo of
the Treasury aspirations Of Mr.. Thomas
Griffith six years ago, then the full force of
this episode becomes apparent, and means
disaster to the present Republican candidate
for Sheriff. But Mr.. Harry Kinkead, chair
man of the Republican county organization,
AYERS that he viii go TO NicktOwn at some
early day and capture a local rooster, and
thus restore the equilibrium of pOTtents poll
teal Owners of poultry out there are there

which. i'm plain English, means to have an
eve on their chicken-coops. The meeting. it
may be added. was both large and enthusiast
fc. and the speeches by Messrs. Lake and
Shoemaker were listened to with marked at
