lowing very timely editorial re
garding the operations of the Post
ollloe Department in the South,
which we csrdially endorse. Tiie
fact is, so far aa this department is
concerned, the South has been
made to feel that it had no rights
which the genersl government was
bound to respect. Our msils have
been handled with s csrelessnes.
that was criminal, and our facilities
have been to meagre that it looked
as if the department thought it waa
magnanimity that any M all was
given us. At the same time, we
have been made to pay exorbitant
charges for box rents, while the
people of the North were charged
only nominal prices. The New*
says, and says it truthfully :
There is scarcely a doubt that
the hardest worked Csbiuet officer
under the new administration tor
the first year of bis official term tl
least will be the Poatmaiter-Gener-
al. The Postoffice Department
has been operated aa a partisan
machine ever since the war. The
organization and discipline of the
department has been suoh that Us
power from s political point of
view was almost iri esistible. Even
had >ere been no notorious frauds
and systematic plundering among
its officials, its political corruption
has been such as to cause its man
agement to be condemned in nearly
every city and town in the country.
Had the Postoffiee Department
been conducted according to the
spiri. of the civil aervlce lnw, the
Republican party would have been
expelled I ram power years ago.
Niue tenths of the postmasters in
the country have been active Re
publican politicians. The Repub
lican headquarter, in almoat every
village, in tbe South especially, haa
been in the poetofflees, and tbe
postmasters have generally consid-
urrd it the main patt of tbe.r duty
to do all in their power, wnetbsr
legally or illegally, by fair means or
tout, to advance the Interests of
. their party and contribute to it.
continuance in power.
The South hat suffered greatly
from tbe psrtissusbip and an
scrupulous conduct of Ilia Post
masters. The appointments of
Postmasters in this section have
been made, with s few exceptions
only, without regard to tbe wishes
of the people and only with refer
ence to tbeir subserviency to the
Republican party and their nbilty
and willingness to carryout tbs in
structions of the party managers.
In no wsy can the Democratic
administration belter commend it
self to tbe respect and confidence
of tbe cquntry than in instituting
sweeping reforms in tbe Post office
Department. It cannot be doubted
that the Republican agents will be
turned out almoat to a man, and
tbeir placet filled with men who
will be appointed for tbeir fitness
and worth. The Poet office De
