LouisviiiirrQST-oirFicii IIott TInUe Letter Ilare Eern ItlSe-l of llielr and 2i Heller AlToidcd, Tb toCkl OoIOBinS yesterday meraing car an account of tb arrest of Wm. Alexaader, a clerk ia tbe Lonisvill post-offic, for stealing letters eontaiain: money. These derrsdations bav been going on for several years to a fright-ful extent, aad although tbey bava been repeatedly traced to tb Louisville oCc by special agents and detectives of th Post-oCc Department, all efforts to arrest tb thieves bar failed for want of tb proper co-operation of tb Postmaster and ber assistants.

Post-oOce) Inspectors bar stated tbat all their efforts were mad ineffectual because) their presseac aad object wnre proclaimed 'by th Postmaster and tb thieve warned and placed on their guard. Indeed, thee peculiar methods, followed, it is believed, because tb detection of any culprit might reflect discredit on tb managemeat of tb ofio, only served to embolden tbe thieve, who wer not slow to discover bow thoroughly tbey wer thus protected. Tba losess to citizens of Louisville during tba past few years by those receiving money and Madias off merchandise hav amounted to thousands ot dollars, no inconsiderable portion of which has fallen on tb Corsica-Jounsau Its report of losses to tb Postmaster failed to aeoorapliah reeulle, and for many oaths it baa been compelled to ask investigations from tb Inspectors at Cincinnati and Sc. Louis for miscarriages, losses and irregularities. Otbsr business houses here bav bad tb earn experience, and it seems the arrest of Saturday was tbe result of complaints to tb St.

Louis Inspector. To give an imperfect idea of tb exhibit of tbe depredations, we publish tbe folloiug letter, which waa addressed ta tbe Postmaster bar by Mr. J. T. Wilsoa, Cashier ot tb Oldham Bank, at Lagrauga.

Something About Alexander. With reference to tbe arreat yesterday morning of William Alexaadsr. the assorting clerk at tbe post-office, charged with robbing tbe United States mails, Assistant Pout-master Tuley said last eveaiug: "I was nevsr puxxled as to bow I should proceed to capture Alexander. Wber tbere is a force of eighty or njnety men it requires som observation, ot cours, to get a clew and determine which men is the probe, Us thief.

The first missing Isttsr to which my attention was directed, was one addressed to a book. It was lost oa April 17 last, aad contained $33. Soortly afterward, three bank letters and on to an individual, all containing mouey, disappeared, aod it was then tbat (. rims to the conclusion tbat tbe stealing took place in our office. Tbe letters were ever different routes and thrsw suspicion our way.

I almost Immediately- selected Alexander as tbe beat man to watch. I observed that be wss leading a rather fast life. He seemed vaiy much engrossed in base ball aad roller skating. 1 understood tbat be was an attacb ot tn baa ball park and of tbe National Park akatiog riaa a sort of teacher at toe latter place, 1 believe. He got relief from his duties a great deal to at'end base bad match, and frequently telephoned from tbe ball grounds to bav som on stay oa for bib tide could get op.

I noticed tbat be was dissipating, and 1 frequently detected liquor oa his breath. I knew bis mode of 111 a must be expensive, and bis salary was only I SOU, wuu a wife and two children to support. Daring tb last month money to tb a'uouot of or was lost to our knowledge. 1 sent tor Dr. Brown, tbe Inspector, aud told bim tbat 1 tuougbt we Lad better try Alexaader.

Accordingly oa Friday five decoy letters containing marked money wer placed ia the mail. Au iuvestlgatioa showed that two of them had disappeared. Oa Saturday we put sevau decoy letters ia th evening mail, aad they passed into Alexander's bands, riv of toem disappeared, but Alexander got out ot tbe ode and had an opportunity to cbang any bills rosy have extracted Iron th letters. Ws put three ie iters in tne late mail, and they also passed into hie bands. Ibe train waa delayed and Alexander was kept late.

We bad everything arranged, and ae be waa leaving the be was arrested. He wae much taaen aback. A search of bi person revealed a one dollar bltl. tb same that we bad placed in one of the three letters tbat weal into tbe late mail. We found besides about 13 in suver.

Wben tola that be must go to xil Alexander was still further astonished, ana ai not seem to recozn-z the enormity of th crime be was charged with. Of course if ha robbed tbe rueii of $1 the toe ft is equal to ll.OoO in point of law. Tba penalty. 1 believe, is confinement cf from one to tea year In tb penitentiary, and we hav a sure esse against Alexander. Comiaissiouer Crail wiil set the case for bearing to-ciorruw sometime, I think.

I am very sorry for Alexender'e pretty young wit and little one, for be bat ruined birusclf irretrievably." Sudden Death From Heart Disease. Tne Coroner wi called yeeterday mora-ing to No. 1,817 Rowan street, where Mrs. Aag jsta Brlel bad died suddenly cf heart disease. Mrs.
