The article presents information related to the Philadelphia post-office. The friends of civil-service reform in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania have been much troubled and not unreasonably, by the removal of Henry Shippen Huidekoper, the postmaster of that city. The Post of the Grand Army, too, to which post master Huidekoper belongs, have taken the matter up, and protested against the removal in strong terms; but they confess that they do not know whether there has been cause for it or not. Now as a reader one knows, firm believers in tenure during good behavior, but he has been very chary, ever since the Democrats came into office, about finding fault with removals.
