JUSTICE FOR POSTMASlERS.

A novel and important convention
will assemble in Chicago on Monday,
the 18th Of February. 1t will
consist Of the third and fourth-class
postmasters of the United States, who
propose, in this decisive way, to APP
peal to Congress for the redress Of
grievances which have lone demand.
ed correction. The fourth-class post.
masters are paid only by commission
ON the value of stamps they cancel /;
and when congress reduced the, rate of
postage, it reduced their pay while ia,
creasing their work. They now ask
to have their commission increased, 50
that they will get the first 500 re-.
ceived for stamps, instead of the first
$50 as now.
The third class postmasters, some Of
whom do an enormous amount Of
work, and are debarred from engaging
in any other business, desire the gov
ernment to pay their expenses for
rent, light, fuel and clerk hire, the
same it has always done for officers Of
the first and second grade. Every
postmaster general for ten years has
recommended that these changes he
made, but congress, with las usual
sluggishness, is still delinquent, and
the law has not been modified.
AS to box rents, too, the p0stmast>
ers, who framed the measure author
izing the box system, ask that they
be given The entire revenue for the
rental of boxes, insteqd of delivering
it to the government, as now. They
feel that if they invest their money in
the purchase ofattractive outfits, and
then do the extra work, they are en-
titled to the income which it yields.
As one of them puts ii: There would
he just as much right ana justice in
the government insisting upon count
ing in as the gross receipts of my Of
fee the income from two or three
houses | happen to own as for it to
