The Postolllee Dopurl in eu I declares to I day that i: will not proceed without ! the indorsement ol' Mr. Tolbert, This explodes the bombs ot' .lohn P. Mclaurin and others. The master of the situation is Tolbert. Some lime ago the Post ellice De partment asked the members of Con gress from South Carolina regarding the elevation of fourth-class post masters to third-class postmasters. There was the implied suggestion thai tho members of Congress would have something lo do with it. When tho members of Congress look up with the Poslolfice Department to day the matter of a promotion of fourth-class lo third class postmas ters, tho Postollice Department was frank in its admission thal Ibo mem bers of Congres bad nothing to do with tho situation. Very frankly it was stated to the South Carolina Congressmen that in all cases reference was made to Mr. Tolbert, and that if ho gave his o. h. to existing postmasters of the fourth class (hoy would be promoted, but if ho Hied objections to any fourth class postmaster, the Posiofhco De partment would order an examina tion.
