After all the false accusations post
master has laid at his door for careless
ness, the seedlings he gets from peo-
pie who would rather hear themselves
talk than to be reasonable, and the thun-
der of the local scribbler who points his
weighty gun at pOstmasters for the
purpose Of venting his little spleen, in
the absence of some better motive, when
they know nothing of the facts, it is a
satisfaction to know there is an official
record that does him equal and exact
justice. The mode of checking post
masters and route agents is now very
perfect and it is to the interest as well
as the conscientious desire Of every most
master, who appreciates his position, to
have as few errors checked to him as
possible.
Il is with an excusable degree of pride
that We refer 70 the record OF the Empo-
ria office in the following list. 1t viii
