FIRST VIOLATION OF THE PosT OFFICE LAWS
The first violation of the Post Office law, as far as
we can understand it, has been committed by the
Post Office Department, and if not by, at least, ar-
parently under the sanction Of Cave johnson, the
Postmaster General. II will be recollected that
the new law declares that the advertisements is-
suing from the department are to be published in
the papers having the largest circulation in their
respective districts. Now we perceive post Office
advertisement in the New York Morning Nttcs Of
yesterday, with the signature of the Postmaster
General appended to it. 1t is well known that
among all the daily papers in New York, the Ne,os
has probably the smallest circulation. How can
the Postmaster General reconcile this with strict
adherence to the spirit and letter OF the new law,
unless he means to excuse himself by the plea that
il does not come into operation I'LL Iuy' This does
aet tell well,
