POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT. _
E.rb'acl_/rum the Report o f the Postnias£er'Gen-
eral, Nov. 1893. ,

Tliercis established by law, 88,600. miles of
post roads, in the U. States, and, at this time»
the mail is transported 05,700 miles on these
roads, leaving 22,900 miles not yet carried in-
to operation. The mail is transported in sta-
ges on 20,948 miles of post roads. At. the
commenceiiient ofthe next year, the mail will
be conveyed on all the routes establislied,witli,
perhaps, one or two exceptions, for which con-
tracts have not yet been made, _ _

The following stateinent‘ will" show the iii-
.c-rease of post roa.ds in the years specified :

In the year 1819, thcre_ was cstablislied of
post roads, 9,113 miles; in 18:20,-1,906; in
1821, 6,5692 ;, 18‘£9.,5,746 ; 18923, EZ,800.—ina-
king an increase in five yeais,of2_9,1%7 miles.
Present number of Post Ofiices,.5,§.42._
I".r_onii.lie 1st of April, 1820, to the 1st of
_Apr._il,1'82l, it appears that there was a charge
upon the balances due to the Department, of
855,464 76. From the 1st of April, _18_21,‘to
athe 1st of April,.18292,, 126,649 91. From the
11st of April, 1822', to the 1st of April, 1823,
50,766 79. Total, $232,821 46. To this sum
must be added forexpenses in_cur_red in;trans-
porting the mail under-bids accepted in cases
;where contracts have not been exizcutctl, or,if
executed, had not been returned to the De-
partment, 30,000—'l‘otal, $262,821 46.

Theamount of postage which accrued for
the three years above stated, wasless than the
actual cxpenditiires of" the D,epartment,the
above stun of $262,821 46. But the real dc-
ficicncy will be found much greater than this
,sum; for there should be added the losses
that will inevitably take place, in collecting
more than a million of dollars in each year,
from between 5_ and 6000 pos_t-masters. The
real excess ofexpenditure, above the receipts
for postage, cannot be much below $300,000.
The whole ofthis deficiency must have been
collected out ofthe balances due the Depart-
,nient,except the aiii’t that yet remains unpaid.

The gross amount of postage which accru-
ed, from July. 1st, 1822, to July 1st, 1823, was‘
$1,114,845 12. The expenditures ofthe De-
partment during the same period, are as fol-
lows: Compensation to Post-inasters, inclu-
ding their iiicidental expenses, $353,995, 93 ;
Incidental expenses of the D_ep‘. 30,866 37 ;
Transportation of the Mail, 784,600 08;
Payments into the Treasury, .493 08;

Total, $1,169,885 51.
Making the amount, of expenditures above
that ofthe receipts, $55,540 39.

Thereis now about 160,000 dollars in suit
against the late Postinastcrs, and, in a very
short time, suits will be commenced forall
balances, except those which are due by Post-
masters in ofiice.

Not more than 250,000 dollars will proba-
bly be collected from the total amoiint of bail-
ances due to the Depai'tinen_t. And to realize
this amount, some years of unremitting exer-
tions will be necessary. ‘A great iriajorityof
the accounts are for less than ‘.00 dollars each,
and some liundreds of suits must be ‘brought,
in addition to those now pending.

, In making the late contracts, the expendi-
ture on routes in operation, has been reduced
847,821 19., and it is believed the public con-
venience has been promoted by contracts to
have the mail conveyed in stages, on several
important routes. There will be in operation,
the next year, stages for the conveyance of
the mail from the City of \Vas,hing-ton to'St,
Louis, and probably to Franklin, in Missouri,
as a proposition has been made by.theDepart-
ment for an exteriticii of-the" line from'St’.
Louisto Franklin. The \\ eight of the mail’,
and its security, require stages on this route;
The new routes to go into operation on the
first of January, rm mat to $14,021. New
routes are always unproductive, and it is pre.
suined that two thi.-ds of this sum will be a.
charge on-the revenue. 'I-‘lie lou-est bid for
the route from St. Augustine to Pensacola is
$4000, and it is believed the receipts will a.
mount to 39.00. ‘

It being tiiiderstuofi that Congress are un-
willing to provide for extending the.mail by
appropriations from the Treasury, itis an ob-

ment at least within its receipts. It is belig-
ved this can be done the present year by_d'i's,,-.
