than g 1000 are received. If, in such ca
nes, an increase of ten per rrnt. were
given, the conipensa'ion to some would
be more than six times greater than to
others.
More than seventy oflires distribute
packages after ten o'clock at nighi, and
befoie five in the morning. Postmasiera
who discharge thi duty, are entitled to
consideration, not only on account of the
labor they pat form, but the untrasonablo
hours in which they are requited to per
form it. But, in these cases, tin addition
al percent on the moneys received, would
not do equal justice, as the disproportion ,
of compensation, for similar -services,
would be as great as above stated.
A specific sum given to each postmas-
tieHcnh4mviswoulil not compensate

If the means ofeenmeiriwola14-
authorize the measure, an increase of
pay, to postmasters who separate packa-
gTsTahctTci some other would be neither
unjust nor impolitic ; but, at present, it
seems to" be unnecessary to confine an
provision for an increase, within very nar
row Limits.
. On a full consideration of the subject,
it is believed that a special provision, in
each case, where an increase of pay shall
be deemed indispensable can be made
with more justice to the postmaster, and
