that the Gatlings so depleted the rebel

Colonel PARA united his command in

ciallst In n letter to be printed to-mor-

for Bryan, and the result Of the election
was due to the fact that the unorganized

this I'm the Postal Guide. and at cnce
concluded that Atlanta was more entitled
70 the increase than Dayton. lie set
about to procure a correct census of At
lanta. he first wrote 10 the First Assist
ant Postmaster-Gener asking what was
necessary. He received a reply saying
that II census OF Atlanta was taken
showing a population Of over 1900 people.
and this was certified TO by the Secretary
Of state his application for the increased
appropriation would be considered.
Atlanta had in 1880 population OF
$500 but Dr. Fox was satisfied she would
show enough and 10 spare 10 set the APP
preparation. Upon making an invsstiga-
ton he found that there was no law au-
thorizing the Secretary OF State 10 GER
tIfy 10 a census taken by the city. The
city Council then passed an ordinance au-
thOrizing the city 70 take the census. pro-
vided the Legislature passed an act au-
thorzing the Secretary OF state 20 act IN
concert with them ard certify TO the re-
turns.
The act was passed and tho census was
taken. which showed "A population Of 81
$50 an increase OF nearly "a per cent more
than the increase Of DAYTON. o., in the
same length Of time. The gross receipts
Of Atlanta's post-ofice are S2Gj.o00 a year
while that OF Dayton is only $4,000 Day
ton has fifty carriers. while Atlanta has
only forty-One. Those carriers who have
been IN the post-oiIice in Dayton three
years now get $1,000 whore previously
they only received $50
Atlanta's gross receipts are five times
as much as Macon, five times rs inuch
as Augusta. and nearly three times as
much as Savannah.
THE RESULTS or THE CENSUS.
II Atlanta gets this increased appro-
priation all carriers who have been with
the office three years will get sl,co
year. Now they get $50, so that the IN
crease means an increase to them or
$50 "a year. Atlanta viii then come UNI
der the first grade Of first-class post
offices. which pay carriers $500 the first
year. $500 the second year. and $1,000 the
third year Now they have only two
grades Of carriers. TO those who have
not been there two years they pay $500
q year. and 20 those who have been there
two years or longer they pay $3.50 a year
with no increase for longer service.
Postmaster Fox says as Dayton got the
increased appropriation, showing a popu-
lation Of 4oGO less than Atlanta has, he
cannot see why there should be any de-
