Toe Attoraey Uecertl coincided heartily in täo reiuet. lbe Potmaer at Home, N. Y., was to-day suspended from further duty in his otli:e by order of the President, f-nd James B.

The President proponed the removal of the Pofdiaaster aud nominated Corcoran to tos Senate at the recent cslou. and as it failed to tat action on the nomination the Postmatdr (Jeoeial app)?e1 to the President lor instructions in the cae. and received a written cotnmuuicttion which ha be-n procured from the Department, and is kl follows: Kxe i.TivE Mansion, WA-HI.S..TON, April b, j "Hon. William F. Vilas, rosfuatter General: "Pi ak SiR-In answer to your inquiry as to the dUpoMilou to be made of the cae of the Postmister at Kome, Oneida Coanty, New York, which was presented to the eeaate oatbe25;h day of March, with a proposition that he hi reiaovcd for cuse, and which proposition w.is not acted upon prior to the adjournment o! that body, cn the 2d day of April, 1 have to say that to me it dearly sterns to be my duty to exercise, by prompt action in this case, all the power which, the present condition of the law has left In my hands, ?o far as it may be done, independent of the Senate, to protect tae interests of the Govcrnmcn', to lud leite the laws wnich nave been enacted for Die regulation of the nostal service, and to Impress upon

JVdvrkl o2icehoiders the fact tnat no indulgence will be granted by the Executive to trior e who violate the 1 w or neglect their pnblic duty. 'This Paymaster, under Section 4.UU of the United Ma. is Levied .statute, and the rulttious of the Fostotlice Department, was reiu.red to transmit to the Department weeWly a report of toe builntM done by him in the money order branch of his otUce. It appears from tie oniclal rsrortcf an Inipector of the l'ostollice Department, now before me, and which was submitted to a committee of the Senate while the proposition to n move this otQclal was before it, that n examination of his olüco was ordered on the - jtrt day ol January, 1), m coiuequcaco of the fact that no mch wf ek'y reports had tu en inaJe sim e thefcta day of Deeembvr, It lurlher appears from this rtport that kuch cxaminatioa developed the mou disgraceful confusion in all that pertained to the accounts mid tnc financial condition of the ollice: that there had b?en no entrv in the money order cah book since J uly, 151, and as that might bavo been expected, there was a deficiency in the money order account of more tifati S710, and In tee postal aeeount of more than SiOJ. "lhere ir, I think, no dipute touching tte?c facts. The diliereace has been refunded to tie Government under an arrangement with one of the hunties of the delinquent oilieial, and he attempts to excuse the wretched condition of his olßce ty alleKins that hi at.si.tant Lad entire charae of the money order business ks well as other details in the ollice. fn making such au excuse this oihcer admits, it teems to me. violation ot pn duty in turning; over the operations of hist nice to an usiitant. without any pretext of tee icknes or unavoidable absence of the I'odmaMer. which is contrary to a reasonable coatructlon ff ectfon -?,o.il of the Revved statutes, which prtvidi that in esse of the sickness or unavoidable atence of the Postmaster of auy m )uey erCcr i'ostotlice, h?may, with the approval of the Fostmater ieneral, authorize the chief t lerk or some other clerk, employed therein, to act in his place and to dDcl: area ad the duties r?i"irei by law of Mich rotmaster.' liy the claim now made that the assistant, havln fcad lull charge, is responsible for tb delinqueocles and irregularities complained of. the I'oMDiaster appears to contradict his own worn siatementmade to the department R lata as September :;o, 1?. to the cüect that he himelf had performed lor the r-recedin? quarter the money order business in his ofiiee except when ue( tt'har'y abstnt. 1 shall do all in my power to rid the service of officials who exhibit such loetse iotas of their duty to the public. "A oconment before me, signed by many residents of the city where the Postmaster is located, null who belous to both political parties, a-ssert-icg their entire confidence iu his honesty and f'.iieliiy, Icmon&trat'; the uufortuuate facility wltn whk-h such papsra mar te obtained, and gives rise to ea unpleasant tuspidoa touchln; a too prevalent method oi lOiiticl tone My. If I can nut remove delinquent l'ostmaster, I can snreiy npead him. Ih's 1 have determined to do promptly, andlt!eire you at oace to present to me the iieearv paters for that puiDO-e, wita a designation of James 15. t-jreerta o perform the duties of To-tm&ster ia p:a e of th? oilieial suspendeJ. Yours truly. i.kovkr Ci.e ki and." .At an Interview with the l'ostmaster General he said to the repotter of thff Associated Tress this af.einoon that too Sena'e Committee asked for and had sent to them the paperi in the case, incluling the Inspector's rerxrt, and the reason for their declining to approve the pi od )sed removal w s unknown to him.snd ( ould only be turm so l. The Jacts are plainly hown, be 6aid, by the ot:iial report of the inspector, made darin? trie term of President Atthur, and open to no suspicien of rartisau or personal nnfriendlines. and ar such, iuddeeel, as hardiy to admit of explanation. The I'resident, in his letter, has only ratntioocd those m respect to which no opportunity lor question was open. The removal was not piojoieü for any otaer purpose than to improve the ervice, and the nominee is u man againtt wbcm no just ofjection could lie. The Postmaster General adoed the President may see a good opportunitv to say. from i orae evidences before him, he believes a notion to be prevalent and tDe practKe to be ceneral accordingly, that Itm er hould hove allowances for c erks nfiicimt to enable them to do the busiuess of tiifir ofl'.ccs, while th ToUirader hltnelf. though the bet paid, should te required to give no pernnal labor beyond m general nperviaiou. This case Illustrates whit rxay Happen Dora such a practiei if the excut e of the home l'otmaster le true, in fact, ana every cae of dtfauit, iie clerk or ajsintaot wiil be zrade the f-capeost. It is the intention of the dcranmtnt to make a aire.'ul scrutiny of these allowance and reduce tiera when neeeastrT, rasteriaily requiring tte Tostma-itcr to give bis peloral time and attent!en to tto duties of his oiüe and ast in their performance, except iu those few larger ottices wneie his time may be necsarily required in general supervision, it is be litved that by such a course the public will be mu-h better served and tbat a considerable reduction In the annual cxiendituresoi the department may be realized.
