Latest News. Special Notices. Postmaster General and the New I < York Defalcations. -« The press generally throughout the country are commenting upon the statement of the Postmaster General oipon the defalcation of Mr. Fowler.— It is certainly one of the most extra- • ordinary public documents ever given to the country. It is a self-convicting report; and yet Mr. Holt, who lias a great deal of ability, but no moral sense, does* not seem to know* that it -absolutely furnishes evidence convicting himself of the most remarkable negli gence in the conduct of the Post Office Department. All the testimony given before the Covode Committee, intended to prove ever so much against the Pres ident and Cabinet, is as nothing com pared with the revelations and admis sions of the Postmaster General, him self one of the Cabinet. Here was a regu lar system of defalcation going on from 'quarter to quarter for five years or more upon a plan which must have been known to some of the officials at Wash ington,and ought to have .been known to and corrected .by the head of tbe Post •Office Department. Mr. Halt puts the triaimo, though very gently, on some of <the auditors and assistants; but the publio, we think, will be likely to heap more censure upon them than the Post master General, and to expect their re moval; Again, Mr. Holt insinuates that the United States Marshal of the district was derelict in his duty in not securing the arrest of Mr. Fowler. If that be so then why not dismiss him T Have not theadministortion the courage tore- move an pificer who neglects his duty ? Those ore matters about which, the press i are both busy.
