The NKw PosI OFFICE LAw-We do no, know
how the new Post Office law will be carried into
operation, or whether il will have fair chance 10
make itself popular with the masses under the pre-
sent regime From some OF the first steps taken il
would appear that II is even question, and that
much uncertainty hangs about it, The Postmaster
ithis city, in the very first measure to carry one


1.-The most important provisions of the law into ef-
feet, namely, the Post Office advertising, has viola
ted the spirit OF the law in most essential degree
by the new law every Postmaster is directed to pub
lish the letters In the two largest circulating papers
OF the district IN which he is located. Now we
aver, without the slightest hesitation. that this pro.
vision has been violated by the Postmaster Of Ibis
city, and that he has actually ordered the ohc.,;on
o his letters IN paper, contrary TO the prov;sons
Of the law.


We do not believe that il was the intention os n.
Postmaster General, or the President. however hos
tile they might have been to low postage rates bus
10 violate the spirit of the of Congress or the in
teniions OF Congress itself. We therefore respect
fully call the attention of the Postmaster General
Cave Johnson, TO this violation of the law bv IN,
Postmaster of New York The evidence Of hi,
violation is contained in the affidavts sworn TO anc
now in the possession Of the Department.
