THE POST OFFICE MIDDLE iGAiN

II the readers OF the DEMOCRAT
will remember, there was an article
in this Journal under the above cap
ton, but under different circu'nstan-
ces. Then the slticlc was intended
to prevent the appointment of tue
present Post Master, and was a con-
denscd statement Of an interview |
with Mr.. Gaibreath, an agent sent
here to investigate the Infamous
charge made against this people that
they were using violence to prevent
the installation of Mr. Connolly as
Post Master, the SANDER having ap-
peared In the 81. Louis Globe Demo
Graf. The citizens here signed pc
tition asking the Department TO re-
tain Mr.. DcLacy in Office, which ap-
cared to be crime In the opinion
of some persons, and our people were
published as outlaws, for no other
reason than having signed the said
petition, and the Post Office appoint.
ment was made against the wishes
of very large majority Of the peo-
pie, without reference to politics.
Now, this article is to show that
the people were right, and that the
President or Post Office Department
were imposed on, and placed a man
in office who, to say the least, ap-
pears in an unfavorable light in the
management of the Post Office. Mr..
Cameron, an agent sent here to in
vestigate the recent Post Office rob-
bery--a fact well known by our citi-
zens--left here very unfavorably i'm
pressed with the Post Office official.
According to the statement of Mr..
Cameron, there we're 1852 missing
for which he made demand on Mr..
Connolly. He also made demand
for the $65 obtained sometime since
under false pretenses from Mr.. De-
Lacy, and for $76 due the Govern
ment outside of the amount lost by
the robbery; but Mr.. Connolly did
not pay a cent of either of the de-
mands, although he acknowledged
their correctness.
Mr.. Cameron left for New Orleans
on last Wednesday, and returned on
Monday, accompanied by Mr.. Whar-
ton, United States Marshal, who
Immediately on his arrival here Wis
lifted the Post Office, and few hours
afterwards Mr.. Connelley was placed
under arrest and taken charge Of.
He will be taken to New Orleans,
there to be tried in the United States
Courts. Tuesday morning the Post
|Ofice was removed to its former
quarters, and the keys handed over
to Mr.. DeLacey. He gave bord for
$4,000, and that too readily. Hur.
rah for Uncle Sam!
