According to the Globe-Democrat the postmasters in Missouri, being Republicans, are too angelic in disposition and propensity, and too utterly efficient to be removed by the incoming administration. Unfortunately, there are several wicked persons in our Commonwealth who don't tie to the G.-D.'s tow-line. These perverse beings insist that there are plenty of Democrats who are fully qualified to fill the positions named, and as these p. bs. will have some "influence" with the powers that are soon going to be, we fear the aforesaid angels will have to go.
