As the matter was pre sented toGen.Grout, he not being acquaint ed personally with the situation, his decis Ion aud manner of proceeding was satisfactory, but to to those interested locally things seem different, it appears that W.

D. Stockwell's petition was forwarded direct to Gen. Grout, while Mrs. Stockwell's petition was sent according to instructions given by the post ofliee department to the fourth assistant oBtmaster-geiieral Washington, the receipt of which was a-knowledged, but not by the fourth assist-ant. Accordingly word was sent to Gen.

Grout asking that he demand the petition, but it was refused him. The present incumbent also demanded the petition and eventually received notice that it could not be returned unless she had withdrawn her name fiom the contest. Her reply was that she was still a candidate. According to the rules of the department the petition was not returned. Gen.
