ident Tyler, while Hon. Charles A.
WlCklIfe, of Kentucky. was POStmas-
ter general. many reforms were in
stftuted, such as cheapening the post
age, improving the manner of letting
routes by contract, prohibiting the
ranking privilege. The foreign desk"
from which ultimately grew the ad-
mirable arrangement of the Postal
Union, was instituted by Hon. Horatio
King, of Maine. Through the efforts
of Judge Hall. of New York, postmast-
er general under President Fillmore
the postage on letters was reduced to
cents. The registration system came
i'll under Postmaster General Camp
bell. of Pennsylvania, during the ad-
ministratiOn of President Pierce. The
free delivery service was inaugurated
in 1853 by Hon. Montgomery Blair. of
Maryland, also the money order sys-
tenn in 1864, in LincOln's administra-
ton. The railway mail service dates
from July, 1852. when Judge Holt, of
Kentucky, ordered its establishment,
the first railway post office being from
Quincy, Ill, to Saint Joseph, Mo. on
