Mr.. NlcLane Of Del spoke in support of TIE
view givenby the gentleman llnm New York,
tMr. Taylor advocated the bill rs being, what
WAS so long desired, Il ,iudicious revision Of the
duties. He replied to the argument of Mr..
CambrelenS, and adduced calculations to
shew that the increase of the revenue which
ITS effect would produce was epportunc to the
state of the finances, as it would enable the
nation TO redeem the 8 per cents. and extin-
guish the national debt by the year 1884.
MIR. Cambreleng spoke in reply insisting on
the view he had before given and then
The question on indefinite posiponement
was taken, by Yeas and Nays, and decided as
folows-feas 20, Nays leo.
So the House refused indefinitely to post
pone the bill.
Mr.. Forsyth objected to the principle OF
taxing the Southern states, in the article of cot
ton bags'ng, to however small an amount, fol
the benefit of particular district of the Uni
on, and he gave notice that, should the motion
of concurrence with the committee ofconfer-
ence BE- rejected, he should submit motion
that this House recede from its disagreement
to the Senate's amendment.
After few remarks from Mr.. Trimbe, in
reply to those of Mr.. Forsyth, the question
was taken on cOncurring with the report of the
Committee Of Conference, and decided by
yeas and nays, as follows-yeas I26, nays 66
So the report of the Committee of Confer.

Office bill. This motion was carried, and the
House again went into committee of the
whole, Mr.. Condict in the chair, on the bill
tn discontinue certain post roads, and to es-
tablish others. A great numbel of amendments
were made TO this bill "A long list of new post
