The Postal Notes = Failure.
CHICAGO, Sept. 8.-From the action by
local banks and the number Of complaints
Aled 1t the Postofaoe it appears that the
postal notes issued to the public last Mon.
day are already deemed . failure in this
city. A great many began to arrive here
within . day or two after the first issue,
sent in lieu Of drafts for small amounts,
and we're ct once deposited the same q
checks or drafts. The numberless mis-
takes made by the Postmasters sending
them caused the banks to refuse to accept
them, and this action ia deemed tanta-
mount to destroying their usefulness.
The Postofice officials also declare that
the handling Of the postal notes and the
work Of rectifying the errors has entailed
an unusual amount Of additional labor on
the working force.
