| Postmaster Mexican will remove
the post Office into the opera house
building. adjoining Harwood &
Propper's bazaar, which fact seems
to have precipitated an Indignation
meeting called ut the court
house for this evening to protest.
But since Mr.. Mexican has signed
the lease for the building, getting it
for $40 per month, half what it
would cost him ut the present place,
and has given out that lie intends to
move anyhow, there will be little
available through the kick, it seems
to us. 1t IS thought, however, that
it's present location is central to
population of the city, while the
removal into the block west will
put the Office more central, perhaps,
to the aggregate business part of
the city. The removal will make
no difference to any ones business
outside of the present post office
block--but may possibly little to
these--and not much either. We
think the greatest objection to the
removal is founded upon the idea
that it is another step looking
toward, 1be location of the ultimate
seat o Pstiny in the west part Of
the III but really the post Office
locat cuts little figure IN this sort
of thing; and we believe it is more
a matter of getting good building
cheap, than anything else witt
Postmaster Mexican. Personally
