GROUNDS ron REMOVAL

It is an open fact that during the
last campaign the present postmaster
of Martinsburg, was publicly charged
by correspondent with using the
Post-oflice aud the boxes rented by
private individuals for political pur-
poses. We know that in the box
that we paid for we received such
documents, without solicitation on
our part and without any address on
the documents. In addition to this
he was riding over the county trying
10 make political speeches. In none
Of these, however, did he refer to his
presence at the Tolhver lynching,
Now comes the editor of the Pioneer
Press, who boldly asserts that papers
addressed to town subscribers have
been returned to him marked "refus
ed" and that the individual subscrib-
ers assert that they never authorized
any such return. Verify, the Post
master General, whatever be his the
DRY of business, should examine into
these matters and apply the proper
remedy.
