Much interest is excited at the postollice
department by the action of William Dud-
ley Foulke. Of Indiana. in sending out in
quiries 10 presidential postofiices where
changes have occurred since March 4. 1859,
especially to postmasters who have been re-
moved. In speaking of the matter to-day
First Assistant Postmaster-tieneral Clark
son said I'VE are receiving letters
from newly appointed posimasters Who
have been addressed in This way. The III
quiries sent out in every instance that |
have seen. show that the case has been pre-
JUDGED and the change made assumed TO Ice
wrong. IL Us evidently an effort 10 get
statements from removed and 'igHnOl ted
officials for for political use. aud some Of
the letters show an intention to try md in
duce the new postmasters 20 make state
ments of defense where no defense is need
ed. and no political capital can be made
out OF these changes. The president made
no removals except for canse-delinquency
in official duties, ineiliciency OF the service
or violation of the law.
