The Londonderry sifter. (South Londonderry, Vt.) 1883-19??, 1889-07-04

OF these charges, and to the time
when, as everyone knows, this Office
was putting its "best foot foremost,
In fact was con its good BEHAVIOR
and when Mr.. Chase was personally
attending to the opening and dis.
tributlng Of the mails.
On the evening of the 10, of june
letter was delivered to a lady, who
resides within 40 rods ofthe postoffic,
and who regularly goes or sends fo
her mail twice day, upon the open
ing of each mail, that bore the receiv'
lug stamp OF June the 17th, having
laid about the office or about towr
for two days. Finally, here is a por.
ton, only, for it isn't at all likely
that at this time, especially, that one
half of such cases reach us, of the
last business day prior to the writing
of this article, namely:
Saturday, June 20, 1850;
When the stage, which leaves here
at Z a. m. for Chester, arrived at the
Londonderry office the mail bag was
taken out and found unlocked, it hav-
ing been given to the driver at this
office in that condition. Upon the
arrival Of the stage at night gentle
man sent for his mail and got word
that there was none for him. In q
short time a friend, who was passing,
told him that if he would 60 to the
office he would get letter as one for
him was found in his box and he had
returned it to one Of the clerks. He
went to the office and still found his
box empty, but upon stating the case
to Mr.. Chase the letter was found
upon the table, where it was, doubt
less, placed with the intention to box
it upon the opening of The train mail.
LATER. A gentleman, who resides
a mile from the village, received his
last weeks Phenix," which arrived
at this Office last Friday evening, TO-
day, Wednesday, at II O'Clock, it
having been wrongly boxed and sent
out. Aud the boxes Of the two par.
.ties are not in three feet of each
'other. This gentleman calls for his
mail regularly every day.
How are you, Brattleboro post
Office brokers? Do you want any
more? "T there is anything you
uant and you don't see it, ask for It,"
And again we ask you, how do you
like the looks of your job? Do you
think it will raise you in the estima-
ton of the people?
Again this defender says:
At any rate com plant was made about
this matter several months ago, and a
postoffice inspector sent on from Wash
ington who reported, exonerating Chase.
This is positively untrue. Over a
year ago, if we are not greatly mis-
taken an Inspector was here, taking
this in with other towns, upon a regu-
lar tour. At any rate every single
charge and specification now made
against Mr.. Chase has accrued since
the Inspector was here.
We further quote:
The second charge of moneyed collu-
sion is positively denied, and as it is a
matter that is not susceptible Of proof
either way and the accusation is made by
a creature who has plead guilty in court
to knowingly and maliciously" lying,
it need not be seriously considered.
The latter part of this paragraph
refers to the editor of the SITTER, and
about which the people of Windhan
County, and Of this section generally,
are well posted and we leave the mat
ter entirely with them, ouly saying
that if such coarse allusions are a
matter of qualification to The instincts
OF agentleman, orif it will relieve Mr..
Chase Of any OF the charges made
against him, they are each welcome
to it. But really, isn't this awonder-
fully easy way of disposing of dam
aging charge? Why were not those
of less importance disposed OF in the
same way? Then six lines could
have been made to take the place of
many. cit is not susceptible of
proof either way" eh? Well, there
is one thing certain it is susceptible
of point blank denial, and people
are beginning to inquire why 1t is not
forthcoming. The SITTER will gladly
give Chase space to make this denial
over his OWL signature, thus giving 1t
the same circulation that the original
charge had. If he disdains the medi-
um there is an excellent and respec-
table Republican paper at Brattlebo-
TO that, without doubt, would willing
ly accord him the same privilege.
VIII he do it? NO He knows that
il Is susceptible of proof, and he
DARE not do it. When he does this
it will be time enough for the SITTER
to present its proofs.
