Wegv gave “our readers a week or two
aince,,-it few facts concerning the loss of
certaifii letters entrusted to the care of
§,[‘Jncle‘?‘Sam’s officials, which letters af-
ater travelling some "underground” mail
‘route,-7were fished out from a pile of
waste paper purchased‘ at the Boston
,Post,i-Qlfice. We have since learned a
few more interesting facts, which will
be particularly] interesting to those who
wish to send money or articles of value
through our mails’. _Wé would remark
in the outset that ' this statement which
- — ‘we here-make "is-truc;z'r:3oergr.",pazzz'cz¢a- -_;.
Zar, and we challenge a. .,contrad27ctz'o72._
We might, if it. was necessary, mention
sequence," we ‘have throilgh .spec.i:1lre-

ments for the manufacture of paper, and
like all,_otll_er paper millsppurchase, from
time. to,'tirri_<_=._,'Vl3'al'é:s of \v_ast_e paper to be
.convértéd imopulp for the manufacture
of their goods. One of ‘ these-——anrl for
aughtitve know, both-—fr.equently obtain
their material at the principal Post Offi-
ces, where large lnasses necessarily col-
loser; and .. among this rubbish are found
many letters of importance and much
value. Some idea of the number of let-
Post Masters, may be obtained from the
fact that more than two thousand letters
of various descriptions have been thus
received at one of our-mills during the
last two years! ._ The Public.Documen=l
of our Congressmen contribute their
share also, and it may be interesting for
them to know-that more five hundred
documents .-mailed by one member Of
Congress, were received at orzezwm and
from the some Post Oflice.
finlong these letters, are a great. many-
wrmen by business men, and of much;
consequence to their proper owners'——
They came from all sections of the coun-
1;}-, quite a number mailed at California
and some foreign letters. --On. a large
majority of these letters: the pbstage had
warded to eve. _
. been prepaid, so that the notion that the
prepaid letter is more likely to be safely
carried to its destination is at once shown
to be incorrect by the startling fact re-
vealed-by these "last letters.”
We have said that amongthese letters
were some of much value. Now in sup-
port of this assertion, ave would state a
few particular cases- -Amonga lot of
paper purchased at the New York City,
Post Ofice,-lwas ;one letter mailed at
Calgfornfa, directed to ' a gentleman in
New York, which contained. a; c/we/cfor
ONE HUNDRED AND .FIVE DOL-
DARS. The Proprietor of the mill re
mailed the letter to the Post Master at
New York, requesting him to -be careful
enough not to lose it again, but forward
it to its proper owner. Also from a quan-
tity of paper purchased at the Post Office
at Springfield, Mass, was a letter con-
taining SIXTEEN DOLLARSin bank
notes. The person by whom it was
written .was‘notified. and he replied by
returned mall giving a correct descrip
non of the letter and contents, and a
check was sent him for the amoum.—
Out of seven or eight sacks from the
Post Ofiéce, Prat-z'derzce, Rhode Island,
about half a bushel Qf letters were found
and amopg them one containing MONEY
and lusunancn Purses or VALUE. A
lot of paper from the Harurroun P051‘
Or-men contained, among others a letter
mailed at Pittsfield Massx, directed to a
firm in Hartford, which contained a check
for THIRTY DOLLARS.
And we might in this manner men-
tion many other similar cases, but enough
is here told to arouse the indignation of
any sane parson. It is but butjustice to
the gentlemanly proprietor of the mill in
question to state that in each ‘of the
above mentioned,"and in many other in-
stances where money has been found, the
amount has been forwarded to its right-
ful owner; but in some cases his en-
deavors to return the property have from
various causes, proved incffectllal. For
instance, we have now in our possession
a-letter written by W. H. Ripenbary,
88 East 18th street, New Your: CITY,
and mailed at that office, enclosing FIVE
DOLLARS to his wife, Mrs. D. L. Rip-
enbary, Damlille Warren Uozmtg/, N.
Y. This letter, we believe was recent-
ly received at the Mill among a quanti
ty of waste paper from the New York
Post Office. Mr. R. was written to in
relation to the matter, but whether this
letter shared the same fate as his, or
from other cause, we cannot state, but
at any rate nothing has been heard from
him. ~
The lovers’ missives too, upon which
so much care and pains has been expen-
ded, are here found among the cast off
rubbish received from the Post Offices
we have mentioned, and.a sample of one
of these is now lying on our table. It is
a very handsome valentine, neatly folded
mailed at Boston, and sent to Miss. -——-
well, we came honestly by it, and yet
the person to whom it was addressed
never saw or perhaps’ heard of it. Och-
er little articles of small value except
as token of friendship, are found in this
great mew, from which we have taken
two very pretty stamped collar patterns,
which were mailed by a lady at Boston,
but instead of being delivered to the per-
son for whom they were intended, were
packed off to our receptacle for waste
paper, which is in truth a dead letter of-
fice, on no small scale.
Those letttere containing money are
seemingly of more consequence than the
others, but in fact they are of less real
value than the numerous “home letters”
written by anxious relatives alld friends,
communicating intelligence of great im
portance, and in many instances refer-
ring to sickness and other misfortunes.
Who can estimate in dollars and cents
the trouble, anxiety and disappointment
which has thus been caused by the gross
careles (not to use a stronger term) of
our Post Office officials’!
We have no comments to make, for
certainly none are needed. "Facts are
stubborn things,” and we think we have
given enough facts on this subject to
stagger almost any man. We earnestly
commend this matter to the attention of
our editorial brethren who control sheets
of influence and extensive circulation.—
If any explanation of the matter is possi-
ble, we would like to see it. There is
“something rotten in Denmark”-—.-and
tlle community, and the press, have a
right to demand an explanation. We
repeatwhat we said at the ocmmence-
ment-—theae things are facts, without
exaggeration, and we stand ready to de.
fend_. them. If we succeed in calling
Public attention to a subject which seems
to us of the greatest importance, our ob.

Bill repealing an act relating to rail-
roads; referred to com. on Railroads.
The order of the day was then taken
up, being the resolution introduced by
Mr. Woodruff in regard to the‘ admis-
sion of electors.
Mr. Woodrulf ‘said that doubts had
been elltertained in regard to the cou-
etructiou of thefamendmeut to the con-
stitution relating to the admission of
electors; he thought it was perfectly le-
gitimate for the Legislature to express
its opinionof what this construction
should be-—-an opinion merely advisory
ontheir part. Mr. Woodrulf read the
amendment, and showed that there were
good reasons for the doubts that had'ex-
i‘-lted, and for the settlement of these
doubts in the way proposed. He claim-
ed that the proposed construction was
the only common sense construction, and
had received the approbation ol the high-
est legal and judicial talent. The amend-
ment to the constitution -had been adopt-
ed to meet another case-—that of persons
coming from other states into our own.
He illustrated the working of the two
constructions before the boards of select-
men in ourtowns, and fortified his'pos'i-
lions by quotation from Paul.
Mr. Coe thought the mere opinion of
the Legislaturewould effect nothing; it
was of no binding force , boards of se-
lectmen would continue to decide as
they‘had done’.
.Mr. Hu_bb_ard_ thought the. expression
of opinion by the Legislature would be
of no authority; the proper tribunal for
construing the organic law was the ju-
diciary. He thought these doubts were
of very recent date. and like Jonah’s
gourd, would soon wither away. The
amendment »was . passed in 1845 ; we
were no wiser-than previous legislatures
that felt no doubts on the subject. The
same construction in principb hadbeen
given to the constitution since 18l8.—-
Thismatter had. already been decided in
Congress. The proper way to decide
this question was to introduce a 1'E.'SOll'l-
tion. calling upon the judiciary to express
their opinion. -
On motion of Mr. Maddox, the rest.
was indefinitely postponed.
Res. authorizing the Greenwich,Fire
Ins. Co., to file their petition in the Sec-
'retary’s oflice; passed.

WEDNESDAY, J line 9.
Senate.—-Senate met at nine. .. ;
Senate agreed with the House in the
reference of the ordinary business.
On motion of Mr. Ferry an act con- ,
cerning Education was taken up. It rc- l
iates to the returns of the number of I
children, and divides the dividend
of the school fund according to the num-
ber of children. Bill explained by Mr.
Babcock.
Mr. Hall objected to the bill because
it bore hard upon the small districts and
repealed the’ $35 law for small districts.
Mr. Babcock thought that the progress
of education required the consolidation
of these small districts. Mr. Bucking-
ham opposed the bill dn account of inju-
ry lo the small districts.
Mr. Beecher opposed the bill because
it bore hard upon the country towns.-—
He thought that consolidation ofschooln
could not be carried into effect [in small
towns. — 4 '
The debate was continued in favor of
the bill by Messrs. Ferry and Babeock,

Violent Hurricane.
A Cnrcaoo, May 24th.
Accounts reached this city last night of
a most terrific hurricane and whirlwind
in the town of Jefferson, Cook Co., and
other places north and west of here.-—
On Tuesday afternoon a revolving funnel
shaped cloud ‘passed swiftly along near
the ground, about sixteen miles north of
here, twisting ofl' large ‘trees, and whis-
king them out of sight lnstanter. The
whirlwind then broke in two and die-
appeared, but almost immediately form-
ed again, and_ passed north and west
with redoublcd violence. It struck a
__heavy frame house, taking the whole
house instantly, up the spout," with all its
contents. Nine persons in the house
were drawn up and hurled down in dif-
ferent places. . Four of them were in-
stantly killed, and others mutilated be-
yond recovery. In its course, fences
and barns were destroyed, cattle and nor-
ses killed, with great violence.
Later accountil from the locality fully
confirm the above._ Accounts are
given of persons being carried up a bun-
dred" feet in the air, then hurled down
with great violence.’
Eye witnesseaof the late fearful whirl-
wind, now in this city, report still more

and state that families who aufiered by it
were in a fearful state -offiaotitntion and
