City Bailroads Made Available for Rapid Mail Transportation. THE FORCE OF CARRIERS EMPLOYED. Concentration of Money Collections Un- der One Head. FOREIGN MAIL DISTRIBUTION. It 1s now exactly three montns since Colonel Thomas L, James, our present Postmaster, assuined. charge of his position, and in this short quarter ofa year his praises are sounded by everybody who has. any connection whatever with his department. In the present instance it cannot be said that “anew broom sweeps well,” for Mr. James is by no means @ stranger to executive affairs, the record he has brought from the Custom House, as Deputy Col- lector of the Third division and Storekeeper of the Port being ample proof of his great adminis- trative abijities in regulating offices and bringing order out of chaos. The gross irregularity of the mails has been a soarce of infinite annoyance to the public in general and the business community in particular. in fact {t had become a matter of reproach to refer even to postal affairs, 80 great had been the abuses practiced. In many instances ® great many things bad been ascribed to the Post Office which were undeserved, yet the bulk of the allegations were merited. THE GREAT IMPROVEMENTS which have marked Mr. James’ advent, however, have been like a well spring in an oasis, and form the topic of conversation everywhere. 1n order to ascertain the present status of affairs in our Post Office and inform the readers of the H&RALD upon the actual state of affairs existing there a repre- sentative of this journal was detailed to ascertain from Mr. James the full particulars of bis adminis- tration. Proceeding to the Post Ofice the reporter found Mr, James busily engaged at his desk, and after a cordial greeting proceeded to interview him, with the following result :. ReronreR—Mr, Postmaster, as everybody is speaking 80 well of your office, where heretofore only anathemas were heaped, and to ascertain from you officially the extent of the improvement Wrought since your taking possession of this de- partment, { have been detailed to obtain an official statement in order to acquaint the readers of the HERALD with the facts. PosTMASTER—I am at all times happy to see any member of the Press, especially those of the HERALD. Ever since my assumption of this office, the newspapers have been uniformly kind to me, which I thoroughly appreciate and Iam only too happy to give you any information in my power. REPORTER—You have made @ great many tnno- vations on old established rules by making radi- cal changes in the delivery system. PosTMASTER—Ever since I took charge here I have first studied the wants of the department, and when I became acquainted therewith I have endeavored to supply the deficiencies and correct existing evils. REPORTER—Will you please enumerate some of the evils thus discovered? POsTMASTER—I found that, although superin- tendents had charge of the several divisions, the men under them did not possess the discipline requisite to regulate so large and unwieldly a force. By making this statement I do not want to be understood to animadvert upon my predecessor, General Jones, who is the very embodiment of a gentleman; but he was so badly hampered by poli- ticlans that it was next to impossible to enforce the precision of action which is necessary in this office to carry on the business successfully. Be- sides that, I think that General Jones having been 80 shamefully betrayed by men in whom he had Placed such implicit faith, it has robbed him of the | usual energy of which he is possessed. For in- stance, the very first day I came here I found piles of FILLED MAIL BAGS STOWED AWAY IN A CORNER. On inquiring what they contained I was informed that they were filled with newspapers and city letters left over. I at once ordered every pouch opened, the matter, which in some cases was a week old, distributed, and ordered that henceforth and hereaiter not a single paper or letter should be left over night in the office, subjecting the offender to no less @ penalty than a summary dismissal. The order caused some growling, but has since been religiously executed. REPORTER—This, then, accounts in some measure for deltverics of letters and papers of back dates, of which there was so much tall PosTMASTER—Yes; but I can proudly say that complaints are now the exception and not the rule, You must, however, understand that we have many cases of fancied wrongs reported here. People who imagine that they have mailed a letter or caused a “trusty” person to mail the same tor them, and the epistie is not delivered upon time, come here and, instead of ascertain- ing facts, stand upon their dignity and abuse us. In every instance we make a {ull investigation of the affair, and in ninety-nine cases out of each hundred it ts found that the blame rests with themselves, and not with us, Only a few days ayo gentleman calied and states ‘hat he had de- Breve a letter in an uptown lamppost box, ad- reased to @ party downtown, which, alter a oa of two days, had not been delivered. He lemnly averred that the address was correct, and the letter, which contained money, was properly stamped and directed. Mr. Hailett, our searcher, alter hard labor, found that this letter was plainly directed “Newark” instead of New York, and while holding the epistie in my hand the sender even stuck to his protestation until his own handwriting convinced him otaerwise, when he left rather crestfalien, Innumerable cases like this cour, but I only mention them to show how imitch tinddserved cal jumny we cate ‘ agers RevortER—These are certai annoy: ances, but people will soon fae “ene fault does A hot ket Rin you, pn ind will iearn to be | more careful. Will you please explain something | of your RAPID DELIVERY SYSTEM? PostMasteR—In order to supply the various sta- tions in the city as quickly as possible with the | ot pater we have utilized the New York Ele- vaiéd Railroad, as well as the Third and Seventh avenue rajlroads, By the former we supply sta- tions A, B, Capd E with twelve deliveries daily. Station D, at thé Bible House, has as many more, Stations B end G@ receive the mails, by the last named railroad, ten times daily—thence the Belt Hae. in Fifty-ninth street, carries the pouches to Third avenue, which applies station H. The other stations are served by the ‘Third avenue cars, The collections are made from lampposts about every hour in the day, except in the busy part of the city, in the vicinity of this office, where the collections are made every thirty minutes, between half-past three to six P. M., when the heavy South and West mails are de: spatched. We pay most particular attention to local matter, and endeavor to deliver letters in ‘about two oni time from mailing. ReroRTaR—| THE FORCE OF CARRIERS under your corre adequate to the carrying out of your decisive policy ? POSTMASTER—NoO, it i not, although Postmaster General Creswell ‘nas very kindly granted me an Addition of é4 carriers, fhe entire. complement now attached to this office is 377, besides 20 sub- stitutes, who are put on duty im case one cs the reguiar men is sick or absent from duty. order to come upto the system in vogue in the English capital it bos Mee atl least double the torce of men now employed in this branch, RerorTer—What is the STATUS OF THE MEN? PostMASTER—On an average they are a Mais’ good class. Thave made very few changes since | came here; but the new appointees, selec:ed by tho Civil Service Commission—of which my General Superintendent, Mr. Harry G. Pearson, is Chair. man—are of a supertor order, a3 we selected only the most competent. In every instance the Superintendents of stations to whom the new men were sent express themselves well pleased with those who were thus assigned. On assuming daty each carrier receives a lecture from Mr. James Sint ate, Superintendent, in which he lays down ti RULES TO BB OBSERVE! and makes overy man understand Thoroughly what is expected of him, Besides this, each and every complaint preerred agaivet any mad, whetuer carrier, or porter, ts per sua, and I gee to Webriety that no ‘injustice a positions are reatited too thelr whale Ci the officers, from the Assistant Postmas: a eonduce » there ene ie eee rc] the office for the be!

They are more of an a! anoy- ance than boneft, une ox Department brin, & revenue of $80,000, and costs to run it $ oOo. It is altogether too weir, Besides we have a reat deal of trouble with the boxes, Letter ad- ressed to persons having the number of their place of business or residence thereon, tf they rent @ box here, very frequently refuse fa, receive tho letter from the carrier and insist upon having the same deposited in their box. Tho only parties who are really entitled to boxes are newspaper offices, banks, and other institutions who receive poeyy and valuable mails. The great responsibilit losses is then divided between the ope delive! a and the receiver of the letters. In the London Post Office there are only four hundred boxes, ioe for the accommodation of those just named, and the great bulk of the mails is delivered by carriers. HOW APPOINTMENTS ARE MADE. REPORTER—In what manner are your new ap- poiutments pants. and are political preferences. strictly adhered to? PostMASTER—The ph eae good achieved by the Civil Service Code, of which my experience at the Custom House, as Chairman of the Civil Service Commission, has amply satistied me, has caused me to adopt the same measure here. By these means we have an opportunity to learn something of the applicant’s antecedents; his recommenda- tions must be een by respensible persons, and only after pass! rate strict medical as well as men- tal bxamination, if found competent, the candidate is appointed, While it is but natural that I should favor those of my political faith, not one removal has been made by me of & good man for political reasons, and no matter what the incumbents pro- fess I willnot make any changes in the force now under my charas except for incompetency or dere- Uction of duty. REPORTER—You must have an immense bulk of mail matter going to and coming from your ofiice. PosTMASTER—\es; it is something almost fabulous, and we must request all who have any- thing to forward by post not to ey the Fre Gaia until the last minute before close of subject and the loss of mail bags Mr. ernie has just made a report which is very interesting. We Gesreton, on an average about twenty-five hundred bags of MAIL MATTRR, WEIGHING ABOUT ONE HUNDRED AND NINE TONS, daily, and receive a proportionate amount. Those sending a heavy mail, by separating the addresses in States, would greatly facilitate the service. It must be understood that between the close of mails and departure of trains we have only a short lapse of time, and by keeping back the mail matter the hands ofthis office are compelled to labor 80 much harder, which could be avoided if this (eos back did not exist. In regard to toss of mail bi we have recently found a number of sacl “4 in junk shops, and noting the continual dwindling down of our supply, we have established a system whicn wili prevent further depredations gf this kind, Whoever is in need of mail pouches 18 required to sign a receipt for those obtained. Whatever bags are returned filled with mail matter are credited on the account opened with the forwarder. The system of harmo- nious co-operation with the railway service, under the superintendence of Major George 8. Bangs, haa conduced largely in facilitating the despatch and receipt of our mails. ReroRTER—Mr. Postmaster, 1 have now en- croached a good while upon your valuable tim and beg leave to thank you for your courtesy. Statement obtained from you Will, nu doubt, prove highly interesting to the public generally, STMASTER—It 18 only a pleasure for me to give any information to the people within my power. For this purpose I am here, and all [ askis a hearty support and assistance, and not to be condemned without an opportunity of defence, and I shall make ttaclose study to make the New York Post Office as successtul as any in the world. ‘The reporter hereupon withdrew.
