 The following paragraphs show in a striking manner the impropriety of the practice, which has been permitted in some Post Offices, of allowing persons "not attached to the office to be pre- sent during the opening of mails, and the correctness of the law which posi- lively forbids such courtesy, on the part of Post-masters. It not only increases the risk of peeulation and fraud, bat is doing injustice to those who, with as much right to access tothe office as those who are thus improperly admitted, do not seek for a privilege, which they know to be illegal.--Aat. Bonner.
