OUR FAULTY MAIL SYSTEM.

The Richmond Dispatch has re-
eeived complaints that the mail from
Richmond, via West Point, which is
destined for points in the counties
lying ssouth of the Rappahannock
and in the Northern Neck, frequently
misses connection somewhere. The
Dispatch SUGGESTS that Congressman
Lamb and Jones and Senators Daniel
and Martin be requested to present
the matter to the Post-ofice Depart
ment at Washington and seek to have
the trouble remedied. This is all well
and good. THE FREE LANCE has
had numerous complaints from
the same sources. We have
looked into the matter and with
the light before us have come to
the conclusion that the trouble lies
with the carrier between West Point
and Shackelfords. The carrier is
scheduled to leave West Point at a
certain hour, aud he rarely fails to
be punctual in his going. If the
train from Richmond has been
delayed q few minutes, snd should
not happen to get to West Point at
the hour of the carriers leaving, the
mails for ell that section of Msth-
ews, Gloucester, King and Queen
and Middlesex on the South Side,
and Lancaster and Northumberland
in the Northern Neck, remains at
West Point for another "a hours. 1t
we are correct in our information the
trouble could be easily remedied by
the departments requiring the carrier
to leave West Point only after the
arrival of thel train from Richmond.
This arrangement could be easily &C.
cured by petition OF patrons along
the route. There is very little mail
outside of that coming from Rich
mond that this star route serves and
there is as little reason in the
carriers arbitrarily leaving it behind
when the train is belated.
The Richmond papers could take
up another faulty mail schedule and
seek to have it remedied, with profit
to themselves and accommodate n
to many Of their patrons. We refer
to the schedule running north from
that city. Every morning of the
week the dsilies of Washington and
Baltimore are in Fredericksburg
before breakfast time, while the
Richmond papers do not put in an
appearance until some hours later,
and frequently not until afer dinner.
On Sundays it is worse still. Even
New York papers reach US ahead Of
the Richmond dsilies, which fire.

night. And yet Richmond, the cap
