Sir: The ever increasing postal business Of New
York City has become far Of public notoriety

transaction Of that business is not only demanded

venture to suggest that the present inadequate
structure be abandoned by the government as Il
postofice and turned TO other uses; that site be
selected not far from the new Custom House at
Bowling Green.
The south Of Wall-st. is made up cf
many city blocks occupied by old and shabby
buildings: one or more OF these blocks can be
acquired prices not extravagant, and upon such
the present business and its inevitable in

to is part of the financial centre of the city

building be planned and wrought out on suitably
comprehensive lines. As means OF rehet 10 thss

THE CENTRAL BRIDGE GRAB.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir Referring your article and editorial in
your issue OF the 2sth inst, beg to call your at
tention to certain facts which you have entirely
ignored
In the first place the application for the franchise
by the Union Railroad Company not made on
their voIition, but the outcome Of large num-
Der Of mass meetings held in different sections Of
The Bronx two years ago by the people most in
terested. namely. the wage earners. men, women
winter and summer each morning and night. sun
shine or rain. sleet. with noslet up. and
this after they have paid their fare to the trolley
company.
Second-You state that the railroad company
ought build their bridge. This the railroad
company seemed anxious to do is evident from
bill introduced in the State Legislature years
ago after the present Macombs Dam Bridge was
opened for traffic and before the piers of the old
bridge removed. The answer of the United
States Government to that bill to remove every
Yestige of the old structure with steam lighter and
derrick, and a notice that they would allow
bridges at that point.
Third-In regard the statement that large
number of lobbyists at the meeting Of yesterday
took possession of the Aldermanc Chamber. was
present when the charge made, and looked
around 10 find out who they were and noticed
large number Of owners of property and residents
tressing condition of transit for the people who are
compelled TO this bridge.

NEGROES AND PUBLIC DISORDER.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: ] am impelled address you, having in
mind the recent developments which took place
between the colored and white people on the West
Side These in great measure were due 10 the
white people, who always the cause OF all
complications they being the ones that offer all
sorts of insults the coored people. In this
a white boy sent expressly to bring about the
trouble
The American people should by all means avoid
all these incidents and simply seek to educate the
coored people that they may call on them
when the time comes to bear for the coun-
try, which is much their duty as the white
peoples. It cannot be disputed that the colored
people belong much to this country the white.
1t should be incumbent the ministers in
churches make all this spirit of unchristianity
disappear. They can do much if they are that
way disposed. At the time of the Chinese compli
ations colored commander-in-chief was sent
the foremost tactician in France. This shows that
talent is not confined to
