ceiye from individuals are so numerous that,
but for the annoyance they cause they would
become ridiculous. This evil affects, more
or less, every class Of our citizens, rich and
poor. for the failure to receive letter or
paper in due time often is the occasion OF
serious inconvenience and, in many cases,
actual loss. Just ut the time when it is the
object Of the Government to make the mail
service as near perfect rs possible, for a
whole State to be thus Inconvenience and

ASSISTANT PosTMASTERGENEEAL HAZ-
EN- has been interviewed in regard to the al
legged discrepancy of over $S.0O0O0 in re-
ceipts in the Postotfice Department, and ac-
knowledges that it is mainly due to the in
correct reports made to the department.
He says:
Il was aware. in general way, Of the in
correctness OF the reports; and | regret that
my present examination leads me utterly TO
discrcdt the figures, and TO regard the table
as Of little value for statistical purposes. 1t
would he unjust to the gentlemen under
whose supervision the table was prepared,
and whose names are appended to it, TO
charge upon them the faults in the figures.
They probably did the best they could un-
der the circumstances. They were COM
PEELED to take the reports from postmasters
without proper facilities for testing their &C
curacy. The clerical help assigned to them,
by irregular details from the various bu-
reaus, was meagrc and insufficient. They
were aware that in the hurry of dispatching
mail matter it was practically impossible, es.
peCiallv ut the larger offices, actually to
count the pieces of matter handled, and
that the reports were in many cases mere
estimates and probable exaggerations. 1t is
significant fact that the widest discrcpan-
cies appear in the reports from the larger Of
fees. The unfarincss of taking the first
seven days in December, a period of unusual
activity in post-otiiccs, as Il basis on which
to estimate for the entire year, has already
been shown. The first seven days in No
vember, the period originally selected, and
regarded by experienced officers Of the Rail-
way Mail Service as the most equitable
week of the year, was abandoned because it
was thought that the Presidential election
occurring in that weekl in 1880 would prove

sauntered out on the streets. Late in
the dusk of the afternoon l wGs looking
at some fireworks that were being sent up
in one Of the parks. Suddenly heard
General Lawton speak to me in voice full
of emotion. Turning around, faced him,
and he shocked me with the announcement
that Mr.. Wadley had Just fallen dead on
the streets. l could hardly realize it. l

any service to the family, and there, in Mr..
Wadley's box, was the card had left in

platform in front OF the hotel. 1 happened
to pause by the side of Judge William
