The charges laid against the !, st
Office, which were very satisfactorily
answered yesterday by both the Min
lister of Finance and the Deputy Post
master General, are of a piece with
much stuff of similar character
which goes round from mouth to
mouth, but which it is often very diff
cult to nail. Letters often come open
through the mails. If any one will
read the statistical reports of postoi1i-
ces abroad he will find that human ma
ture is given to frequent forgetful-
ness. Not only do people forget to
gum down their letter"-by the way,
The Star received Il letter yesterday,
containing money, which passed
through the mails open-but they for
isticans calculate how nHny percent
of such eccentricities there may be. If
one looks at the matter from "A sensi-
bic point of view, one will see that the
delivery of letter open is a proof of
the honesty of the office. If any one
wanted to tamper with the mails it
would be so done that the recipient
would find il hard to tell whether his
letter had been opened or not. No one
would be quite such IA fool as to show
what had been done to the letter. The
writer has lived in n country where
mails were tempered with, and even
sealed letter was not a preventive &c
espial, yet the letter would always ar,
rive apparently intact. Captain Ross
can rest assured that no one was tc
blame for his letter but the parties
who sent it,
