H. Snapped at the bait, and the arrange ment was completed. As a preliminary step in this extraordinary game of the astute Postmaster General, Humphrey was made Superintendent ol Mails between Albany and Buffalo! This, in con nection with his business for the banks, it was thought, would render what may be called the Gov ernment or Postmaster General's Express Company, a strong concern, and sure to run Pomeroy & Co. Off the course. Humphrey then bought out Harn- EXPRESS HISTORY. 147 den & Co. '...s Hudson River Express for $2. 500, but it was out of their power to give him possession of it until the lapse of 60 days' notice to certain parties.
In the meantime, Humphrey employed the mail agents, between Albany and Buffalo, as Express messengers, and the mail car for express freight! Thus was commenced the first systematic opposition by Government, and the earliest express business on record, of the Post Office Department! Since then, though the Department has refused Express Companies the right to carry letters, it has not scrupled to receive express freight, such as boxes of coin and jewelry, as "mailable matter;" and it still daily encumbers the mails with such incongru ous packages.
