WASHINGTON, September 7.-Oficers Of

opinion that the inadvertance OF Congress
IN making the bill to regulate postmasters'
salaries 20 into effect at once instead OF the
1st Of October, the day fixed for the reduc-
ton in letter-rates OF postage, will cost the
Government million and hall OF dollars
increased salaries. The system OF grading
salaries proportionately in accordance with
the receipts OF the offices Is also unfavorl-
bly, commented upon at the Department
for the reason that under this system post.
masters are continually tempted to make
fictitious sales OF stamps in order to in
crease their compensation.
A ease in point is that OF postmaster in
LARGE town in New York who recently
asked for n reimbursement Of his salary.
Upon investigation it was found that the
receipts Of his Office lacked only few dol
lars OF the sum that would have entitled
him to draw salary larger by several hum
dred dollars than that which he was actually
receiving. II this postmaster had made a
fictitious sale Of few dollars worth OF
stamps he could have realized handsome
profit. Against adoption OF this eXpedient
by pOstmasters the Department has no safe
guard.
