Sumario:Three cases of postmaster depositions corresponding to three terms of government have one stink in common: the intervention of a higher political authority over the postmaster (known as "higher order"). Why were appointment procedures altered? This is the central question that guides the analysis of three situations taken from the National Archive of Asunción. The first dismissal affects Mariano Silvero, in 1801 during Colony, by order of the Villa Rica Postmaster; the second change hurts Francisco Aranda by order of the commander of San Pedro, in 1819, in the Francia’s Government, and the third case involves Jose Tomas Garcia who maintained a question with the district commander, in the first Constitutional Government.
