The Subject of Postal Reforms
—Important Changes.
Of the many subjects *special inter-
ests commended from ti to time to the
attention of the American peOple in the
way of administrative reforms and in
provements, nothing has, perhaps, marked
the progress of the age more plainly than
the great advancement made in postal
matters. The new “money order” sys-
tem, although long in use abroad, is just
about to be brought into use here as a
most beneficial improvement on the old
method of transmitting small sums of
money over a wide extent of country,
whilst in the other changes contemplated
by Congress at the suggestion of the
Postmaster General, the enlightened
friends of the Government will see that
our progressis encouraging in the attempt
to keep in the front rank of an enlight-
ened advancement.
Amongst these changes, however, is
one which, in itself eminently a reform,
seems to produce not a little alarm
amongst the many postmasters relied up-
on for an enlightened co-operation in
carrying on the business of the Depart
ment ; and this expressed fear is on the
score of a possible curtailment of their
.rates of compensation. Nothing is fur-
ther from such a result, as will be learned
by the brief explanation of the matter in
question. As the case stands at present,
- fifty thousand folios of transcript are sent
to Washington each quarter” from but
five postofiices, to enable the Auditor to
keep the ofiices accounts.correctly. The
reform in question proposes to do anray
neith all this—to so simplify the method
of doing business, that whilst all parties
are saved immense labor and perplexity,
the compensation of the Postmaster rentains
the same. But perhaps the best explana‘
tion of what is contemplated in the direc‘
tion indicated Can be had from a letter
addressed by the Postmaster General
himself to the Chairman of the Commit
tee on Post offices and Post Roads of the
House of Representatives. We give an
extract :
“ The first seven sections refer to the
mode of compensating Postmasters, a
subject which has heretofore claimed the
attention of Congress, and one which I
consider of the first importance to this
Department. The following are among
the more prominenent reasons which pre-
sent themselves to my mind in favor of
fixed salaries instead of commissions for
Postmasters :
“ Under the existing law, minute ac-
counts are kept of the postage on all
mailable matter sent and received, paid
as Well as unpaid, involving the necessity
of employing many clerks in postofiices
for this particular purpose, and also in
the ofiice of the Auditor of the Treasury
for the Postofiice Department, where the
accounts of Postmasters are examined.
“ Thus, from Boston, New York, Phil-
adelphia, Cincinnati and Chicago—only
five post offices—fifty thousand folios of
transcript are sent to the Auditor each
quarter, the originals being kept in those
ofiices. The whole bulk of accounts from
all the postofiices can be reckoned by
tons; and they are mainly kept for the
purpose or arriving at the allowances to
Postmasters, which are estimated on the
amount of postage collected. For any oth-
er pnrpose the accounts of mails sent and
received are practically useless. The
great mass of mail matter is prepaid by
postage stamps, which are charged to
Postmasters, and for . which they are held
accountable. In this way the revenues
of the Department are suficiently protec-
ted. If, then, the compensation _Of Post-
masters be fixed, as proposed by the bill
in question, no accounts will be required
of mail matter prepaid by stamps, and
the work in all the postofices will be
expedited, with a great saving of labor
and expense.
much simplified,, and there will be no
difficulty in holding Postmasters to strict
responsibility each quarter; whereas,now,
in the ordinary course of business,. the
accounts of a Postmaster for a L,givcu
quarter cannot be adjusted untill after
‘ the end of the next quarter. . U
“ Therewill also be a ' considerable
saving in the items of blanks for post-
oflices. The estimated cost of paper and
printing next year is nearly one hundred
thousand dollars, while the proposed
- change in the form of accounts will
require less than one-half of that expen.
diture. ' '
“The present law limits the commis-
sions (of Postmasters to two thousand
_dollars per annum, and also forbids al-
lowances from other sources beyond that
, amount ; so that, in fact, the Postmasters
- . of all the principal offices already have
‘ fixed salaries, (in no case exceeding four
thousand dollars per annnl) though they
“can ,only be paid after presenting ,volu-
ruinous accounts on each and every letter '
mailed, and of numerous rates of commis-
sion’shdiflering according to tha-ehartiCter :
Of themail matter, and alsa according
to amount, there being. no less than ten
."rates. Other changes and credits in an
ECcouut current number twenty-five, ma-
' .kiugiunll thirty-five heads of' calcula
tion ; whereas, by the proposed new la»,
all accounts will be rduced to the simplest
form.
“The rule for fixing salaries is such ,as’
to ensure ample justice to all offices ; and
the provision for revising the classifica-
tion must hpve the effect "_to stimulate-
Postmasters in performing their duties,
The accounting in the An- .
ditor’s oficepf this Department will be i
i.
lest they should sufier a reduction of sala-
ry for a diminished business, whilst they
have the assurance of a proper addition
for an enlarged business.
“The reasons for special legislation in
the case of the Postoffice at New York
are obvious. Its net revenues to the De-
partment are now at the rate of nearly
one million of dollars per annum—one
hundred per cent, above every other
office. The business connection with the
foreign mails alone entitle that office to a
separate classification, while its other in-
terests and responsibilities are equally
commanding, and entitle it to a corres-
ponding distinction in respect. to emolu-
meat.
“These are interesting facts bearing
' V be needed and contemplated re-
fOrm—facts in which the people are vital-
ly interested—because the more simple
the machinery of government can be
made in any Department the nearer it
approaches that standard which, since the
foundation of republican institutions in
this country, has been the desideratnm
sought.
“To recur briefly. The contemplated
reform proposes to divide the compensa.
tion of Postmasters into five classes, the
first to receive not more than four and
not less than three thousand dollars, and
so on down to the fifth, which from the
business done affords less than one hun-
dred dollars. By increase of business an
office may be elevated to a higher class,
thus presenting a stimulant to each ofiiccr
to do his duty in every respect. The
postofiice incumbents should hail this re-
form as one which, whilst it does not cur-
tail their salaries at all, relieves them of
the most cumbersome and perplexing part
of their labors and responsibilities; and
the people at large should hail it as one
which, less costly, ensures more prompti-
tude and leisure for due service on the
part of public functionaries. It is only
within the past few years that the most
branch of the public service so necessary
to the welfare and comfort of society
have been made, and after what. has al-
ready been accomplished in this direction,
We are prepared-to welcome with our
best wishes whatever may make it still
more perfect in its capacity to benefit
society and the world at large.”

;2 do" :- ('Oiiipciviir to sustain
decay. The scrofiilous
contamination is variously caused by mercurial
disease, lmv living, disordered digestion from
unhealthy food, lllflllll'c. air, filth and fililiy
habits, the depressing vices, and, above all, by
the vcncrcnl infection. Whatever be its origin,
it IS hereditary iii the constitution, descending
“from parents to children unto flic third and
fourth generation ; ” indeed, it seems to be the
rod of Him who says, “ I will visit the iniqui-
ties of the fathers upon their children.” The
diseases which it originates take various names,
according to the organs it attacks. in the
lungs, Scrofula produces tubercles. and finall
Consumption; in the glands, swellings wliic
suppurnte and become ulcerous sores; in the
stomach and bowels, dcrangcments which pro-
duce indigestion, dyspepsia, and liver com-
plaints; on the skin, eruptive and cutaneous
affections. These all having the same origin,
require the same remedy, viz. purification and
invigoration of the blood. Purify the blood,
and these dangerous distempers leave you.
With feeble, foul, or corrupted blood, you can-
not have health; with that “life of the flesh ”
healthy, you cannot have scrofulous disease.
Ayer’s Sarsaparilla
is compounded from the most effectual anti-
dotes that medical science has discovered for
disorders it entails. That it is far superior to
any other remedy yet devised, is known by all
who have given. it a trial. That it does com-
bine virtues truly extraordinary in their effect .
upon this class of complaints, is indisputably
proven by the great multitude of publicly
nown and remarkable cares if hasmade of
the following diseases : King‘s Evil or
Glandular Swelling:
trons, Pimples, Blotehes and Sores, Ery-
g‘pelss, Rose or St. An a Fire, Salt
eum,’ Scald Head, 00 from tn-
Err, enema...“ “er-Er,

SESAMAWM“,
Female Weaknesses, and. indeed. the whole
- series of complaints that arise from impurity
of the blood. Minute reports of individual
cases may be found in Area’s AEERICAN
ALIANAC, which is furnished to the druggists
for gratuitous distribution, wherein :may be
learned the directions for its use, and some of
the remarkable cures which it has made when
all other remedies had failed to afford relief.
These cases are purposely taken from all mo-
tions of the country, in order that every reader
may have access to some one who can speak to
him of its benefits from personal experience.
Scrofula depresses the vital energies, and thus
leaves its victims far more subject to disease
and its fatal results than are healthy constitu-
tions. Hence it tends to shorten, and does
greatl shorten, the average duration of human
life. S vast importance of these considera-
tions has led us to spend years in perfecting a
remedy which is adequate to its care. This
we now offer to the public under the name of
Ann’s SARSAPARILLA, although it is com-
pgscd of ingredients, some of which exceed the
st of Sampan'lla in~alferative power. By
its aid you may protect yourself from the safer-
ing and danger of these disorders. Purge out
the foul corruptions that rot and fester in the
blood; purge out the causes of disease, and
vigorous health will follow. B its peculiar
virtues this remedy stimulates a vital func-
tions, and thus expels the distempera which
1qu within the system or burst out on any
part of it. -
We know the public have been deceived by
man compounds of Sorsapm'lla, that promised
mac and did nothing; but they will neither be
deceived nor disappointed in this. Its virtues
have been proven by abundant trial, and there
remains no question of its surpassing excellence
for the cure of _the afflicting disease ' s it is in-
tended to reach. Although under the same
name, it is ave different medicine from any
other which has 11 before the people, and is
far more efi'ectual than any other which has
ever been available to them.
