PniTATK Boxes in Post Offices.—
Tti* law providing for the free delivery of letters
iv earrieis at the house* or places of busmen of the
neisons addressed, contemplates a curtaUment of the
ieliveri* from private boxes.
This latter mode is popular, especially with mer
chants and other business men, and may not be sud
denly changed. They regard it as a necessary ap
pendage i o every laige post office, and In the estima
tion of many the withdrawal of boxes would be
taotamount to stopping the malls.
TUB feeling has naturally grown out of long habit.
Instead ol waiting hour after hour for a post office
carrier, and then paying him a certain fee on each
letter and paper, as under the old law-; or, still
worse, instead of mingling with the crowd, and
taking turns at the general delivery window, it was
convenient and comfortable for a merchant to send a
messenger, who could, by tapping at a special win
dow, command tho attention of the box-clerk, and
Immediately obtain bis employer's mail. This ope
ration could be repeated on the arrival of every
mail, and a man would only have to ask for whathe
might see in the box.
Such i« the main argument in favor of private
boxes. The holders can go or send as often as they
please, and get whatever may appear In the boxes,
without unnecessary delay.
Another argument, however, is that the security
of ietteis is thus promoted. A merchant is con
atantly expecting money letters, and he hesitates to
trust them to the care of common carriers. He
wants them by the hands of his trusty clerk or er
rand'boy, or porter—persons known and responsible
to him, and in whom he has confidence.
Again : the letters and papers being set apart so
* conveniently and exclusively, the box-holder feeis
asiured that none have been overlooked, but that
his full number is there without mistake.
Such reasons may have had force in old times,
When there were but few carriers and few private
box-holdeis compared with the present number. But
let us look at facts as they now exist under the
new laws, and the vastly-increased number of
boxes.
First, the force of carriers is such that letters are
delivered legularly four times each day, the first be
ginning at 8 A- W.-1 next 11 A. M., next >£ put 2 P.
M., next S P. 5 three deliveries being within the
usual business hours. Thus a person may be sure of
receiving letters without the trouble of sending for
them.
But if is claimed there is a lack of security about
these common carriers. A met chant has not the
same assurance ol receiving his valuable letters as if
he lends his own messenger for them. This ii a
favorite idea, but it is utterly fallacious. What are
the facts 1 The records of the Post Office show more
robberies by these special messengers than by letter
carriers or clerks. Moreover, it must' be remembered
that a letter carrier, being a sworn officer, under the
Post Office laws, it he steals, is guilty of/elony, and
is sent to the penitentiary. .....
Private messengers have repeatedly been detected
in stealing, and employers in this city can testify to
the fact, and to the further fact that they have not
been punished.
The other reason in favozfof private boxes, that the
assortment of letters into them prevents mistakes, is
founded on ignorance of the inside working of a
large Post Office; a few figures will show how diffi
cult it ia(snd indeed next to an impossibility) to
avoid mistakes in boxing letters. •
In the Philadelphia < fflee there are in use 2,200
private boxes. Now, what with the several names
making up a firm, the names of employees or even
individual members of a man's family, the whole
lilt of names curmtcied with these boxes is swelled
to more than 3 0:0 It is not reasonable to assert
that human memory will grasp these 3,000 names so
that each particular letter shall certainly find its
appropriate piece. The assortment is hurried; the
.mails are often behind time; applicants wait out
side,there is ro T timeto examine lists of names. The
clerk relies on bis memory, and the only wonder is
that so few mistakes occur. After years of learning
a man masters thu work in a wonderful degree aua
it is done in Philadelphia as perfectly as possible.
But mistakes mutt occur ; they are unavoidable in
the nature of things. Sometimes they are discover
ed when handing out the letters. Letters for A,
are found in B’s The mistakes is then corrected,
but if A has happened to call before B his misplaced
letters are delayed, and he is none the wiser on
calling the second time. But it may happen that a
letter is handed to the wrong party, and then the
temptation to the messenger to steal is great. A
dishonest person, under such circumstances, will he
quick to seize his opportunity, there being hardly a
possibility of suspicion much less of detection in
the ease.
It thus seems evidentthat the public can be really
better accommodated without these private boxes
than with them, snu it is the se'tied policy of the
Post iffice Department by all means to discourage
their use.
Letters being directed to a particular street and
cumber, and the city divided as it is into carriers'
districts, the woik of assorting is simplified, and
deliveries will be mat’e with regularity, safety, and
despatch, free of charge for carrying, at the houses
cf The owners.
The aasortirg may be still further simplified by
having letters uirected to the particular district, as
designated by letters of the alphabet:
Station J.—Within the following bounds: West
aide of Broad street to river Schuylkill, aad south
side of CalloTOhill street to southern limit of the city.
Station B.—Ail that portion of the city lying west
of the river Schuylkill.

Base Ball.— We understand it is in con
templation among the bate ball club* to play several
matches for the benefit of the Sanitary Fair shortly
to be held In this city. The Athletics, the Olympics,
the Keystones, the Minervas, the Camden Club, and
the Athletics, Jr., could play matches and charge for
admiiaioD, and the proceeds would amount to some*
thing handsome, say five hundred or one thousand
dollars, peihaps more. We have no doubt that the
clubs named would gladly aid In swelling the receipts
oi the Sanitary Fair in this way. A match —best
two out of Three—between the Athletioi and the
Olympic* would attract a large eonourie of specta
tors, "We suggest to the presidents of these clubs
to conrider the matter, and put it into practical
-effect at an early day. Both of these clubs embrace

Coekection. The announcement in
Saturday’s Press that there would be unusual oere
jnentes on Sunday in the Cathedral, was, it seems, a
mistake. The rem hist appeared in the Universe.
and the Universe had its authority in a letter which
pretended to be written from the Cathedral with
the same of Father O’Kelly really attached to it.
The editor of the Universe found so many marks of
authenticity abi.ut the letter, that he never doubled
it. Who is the scamp that- forged the olergymao’a
name, and itceived the public? The police are on

Another Chapter in the Gigantic Swind
ling Case.
Some time slnoe a number of persons were ar
raigned in private, at the Central Station, on the
charge of conspiracy to cheat and defraud a number
of merchants doing business in Philadelphia. The
proceedings, of course, were not developed publicly
at.that time, and we have not yet heard mentioned
the entire amount of the great swindle. Yesterday
afternoon a public hearing took place' at the Central
Station, of a person who keeps a store in Balti
more, in whose place of business were found some
of the goods, obtained by another man under alleged
false pretences. The accused resides in Philadel
phia, though keeping a store in Baltimore, and it is
also said one in Newbern, N. O. It is probable that
he has a good defence to make, as mere does not
seem to be much evidence implicating him in any
conspiracy.
The developments of the case will place our me>
cantile and other business people on guard, and for
their edification we present somewhat in detail the
facts as elicited during the hearing.
Frederick Baltz, of the firm of Messrs. Baltz k
Stilts, wholesale importers and liquor dealers, was
called to the witness stand. He testified that W.
Seymoie Weed came to his place and purchased a
great amount of goods; he said that he was reootn*
mended by a man named Charles Shiok, a friend or
an acquaintance of mine; I received Weed's notes
for the amount; those that fell due first were paid,
but there was one note for $7,200 that has never been
paid.
The witness here detailed some things as to the
whereabouts of a man named Richter and Weed,
who wefe often seen in company with each other.
In November of last year, the defendant went to
Baltimore and opened a store, and I found the big
gest part of my goods in that store; I found them
stored in the basement, first, second, third, aad
fourth stories; the stencil marks had been taken off,
and half of the goods were repacked, and the re
mainder were ready to be so disguised; I obtained
my goods through a writ of replevin, and having
given sufficient security brought the articles back to
Philadelphia; we left only ten barrels of whisky in
the cellar, which, no doubt, belonged to Mr. J. F.
Dunton,who had Bold some goods to Weed; we
searched for Mr. Weed everywhere, but he disap
peared on the S2d of January last, since which time
we have not heard anything of him.
On the cross-examination, conducted by G. Re
mak, Esq. for defence, the witness said, I never
saw defendant and Weed together; I do not even
know that they were acquainted with each other ;
1 don’t know that defendant ever saw him, I kaow
that defendant and Richter were thick together;
never heard them talk with each other; I have often
talked with Kiohter; Ido not mean to say that I
am a conspirator becaute I talked with Richter;
my goods were found in the possession of the de
fendant ; the goods were appraised by the sheriff; I
gave bail for ever] thing the sheriff asked for; I re
plc vined the gGOds from the 14th to the 17th of Febru
ary last; the publio records will exhibit the exact
time; the reason the oath was not made against the
defendant before the time that it was made was be
cause we were too buay in business, and not in a
hurry to arrest defendant; I acted in this matter
under the advice of my counsel; I have made no
settlement, cor any offer to settle with any person;
I have said some of the goods were paid for by Sey
mour Weed, but none of the goods I found in pos
se seion of defendant were paid for.
At ibis stage of the proceedings quite a war of
words took place between the counsel tor thederence
and the magistrate, the latter, however, reserving
his fire.
Witness resumed—l did not say that a requisition
would be taken out for the arrest of defendant; did
not say that he would be arrested on arriving in
Philadelphia; I believe I have seen him once or
twice in this city since I got my goods ; I did not
hurry myself to have him arrested 5 I don’t know
whether he carries on business in Baltimore or not;
the officer who arrested him had the warrant for
some time before ; the defendant was arrested upon
arriving in Philadelphia.
Mr. Sternberger was now called to the stand, and
testified as follows r My place of business is at 425
Chestnut street; on October 26th, 1863, a man named
W. Seymore Weed bought a bill of goods; he was
sent to my store by a Mr. Richter; this man was at
my store a day or two before Weed came, and said
that he was going to send me a good customer;
Weed bought $2 400 worth of goods, and paid half
cash; I told goods to the amount of $4,700 to Weed,
snd shortly after this heard that he had Tun off; the
note had not yet become due; went to New York in
search of Mr. Weed; I paid Mr. Riohter commis
sions for bringing me the customer; I came back
from New York and proceeded to Baltimore; before
I went there I saw Richter, and he told me that he
was at Simons' Hotel, in Baltimore ; when I ar
rived there I found that Stick had an agent in that
city, aluo acting for Richter; this agent was not the
deiendant.
THE WITNESS TURNS DETECTIVE,
The witnea. now a.tumed the character of a de.
teotlve : he called upon the agent of Mr. Shiok, and
learned Rom him that the good, of Mr. Sternberger
were in a (tore al No. 6 Cheapaide—thi, was de
fendant’t atore; Shick’s agent told me that I need
not go at that time, a. the atore wa» closed, the
proprietor having gone to Philadelphia; I played
my game at the detective buiiuets pretty well, for
the agent thought I was a true friend of Shick &
Richter ; the agent wa> anxious that Sternberger’a
.birt. should be .old ; the agent then went to the
store No. 6 Ghe&paide; the cleik wa. in.
Here the counsel for defendant interrupted, and
said the evidence was not legal and could not be re
ceived.
Magistrate to witness. In consequence of what
the agent of Shick told you, what did you do?
Witness. I came to Philadelphia; 1 told Mr
Dunton of what I bad learned; I also told other
.useren; I went back again to Baltimore.
The witnea. here retreshed his memory from a
manuscript of good, found in defendant’, atore.
When I met defendant, he exclaimed:
“ Are you not Mr. Sternberger?”
“I replied, I am.”
14 Then,” said he, “ what are you goiog by another
name for?”
U I told him I wa* a loser to the amouot of $4,700. j
aud that I bad adopted my own course to fiad my
cod* j I asked him then if he could not put me on
the track; he said he did not know but what he f
could j he said that he had bought these goods, and '
paid for them; he said that he made the purchase •
not directly fiom Mr. Weed, but had his bill and re
e«lpt for them in Philadelphia-; the goods were
bought from Mr. Weed through Mr. Richter: the
I beat of feeling prevailed between myself and defen- '
1 aant; he had purchased the goods for one-third leas 1
t ™an l £ e * r value; the defendant said that he had I
■ shirts, and got the money for them, but
; they must be worn out by this time, as they were
! sold to the army; the defendant said he thought
, be could save me some six or seven hundred dol
i l sr ?» J- a * kcd bim how and he replied that first
• he had obtained the goods on commission and after
w.rd. bought them, Mr. Richter giviog him ,ome
New York railroad stock as security should there
I be sny loi. in the «hirt,; he thought there might be
n surplus or «ix or tevea hundred dollars, which
i might be saved, but this he said he could Dot do right
away; the defendant said that be had sent the good.
-o Newbern,itf. C.; but after this I found some of my
i goedJ had beFn shipped for Harrisburg, Pa.; I said
i to him that he had told me wrong; he said there waa
. uotbmg wroDg about thti, that the goodß were firat
! Bbippea to Harn.burg, then to New York, ana then
, to ft ewbern; he said he had a drug atore at Newborn:
he raid it waa Dot queer to have a store or that kind
in that ccuntiy ; all that I found of my gooils in his
■tore were five empty cases, and these had barrels
piled upon them ; I found some of my goods in a
warehoute in New Toik; they were shipped by the
defencant, and no one called lor them: thfe goods
xofere Jxi different boxes, And were nhipped par order
ol defendant; while I was watching iivßaltimore, I
raw a load ol goods go from defendant’s atore to an
auction ; I went there and looked at the goods; my
Pood« were marked diamond B, and shipped to M.
Cohen & Co., Baltimore; when I asked about this.
: Shick about it j he laughed, and said it was
! fictitious names; there are two ftl. Cohens in Bain
s more; one is a large establishment, and would not do
, anything like this ; the defendant also said, in expla
. nation, that M. Cohen would not receive the goods,
andthat Shick brought them to his (defenant’s)store!
On the crosfrexamination, the witness said that
he found hi* good* on February I4lh or 15th, in New
York; they were in the warehcuie of Hope’s Da
spatch line; they were stowed away because nobody
had come for them ; about $3,000 worth of my pro*
perty was there ; I found 28 cases of good* there; 6
belonged to me, 14 to Mr. Woreley, fancy soap
maker end perfumer, and 8 case* not yet identified.
Jrseph F. Dunton testified that he had sold about
*7,000 worth of good* to w. Seymore Weed, on
which he still owes me rising $4,500 in notes in my
possession; the goods consisted cf brandy, whisky
and wines; a part of them ware found in New York;
some got into the ..hands of Mr. Goodman, who dis
posed or them to' a pawnbroker; I had received a
despatch that some of my goods were in defendant’s
In Baltimore; I went there, and found about
$i.500 worth of wine, champagne, port, and sherry;
the goods were undergoing the dieguiae of bottling:
mV wine wa* being placed in Battz’* boxes; label*,
all very pretty, had been prepared; I replevined the
goods; I found *ome whtiky in the cellar, which I
believed to be mine, but the barrel* were so dis
figured that I could got identify the property; a
clerk told me that defendant had painted the barrels; this
wa* on the 16th of February, last month; when I
was in New York Mr. Riohter told me that not a
dollar’s worth of my goods were in Baltimore.
The cross-examination elicited no additional foots.
The accused was held to bail in the sum of $3.000 to
answez the charge of conspiracy.

Outrageous Cage of Fraud.
Nathan Williams, a well-known colored man, who
make* his living by fortune-telling, was arraigned,
yesterday, on the charge of defrauding two colored
women out of the sum of $6O, The complainants
are Elizabeth Wilson and Sarah Willis; they belong
to Greenwich township, Cumberland county* N- J.
The developments may excite pity, because of the
ignorance and superstition of the duped. It seem*
•that the husbands of the two women enlisted in a
regiment of United States colored troops encamped
at Chelten Hills, The regiment expected to move
in a few days, and the two men were anxious to get
