We regret to say that the hopes entertained
OF compromise between the p. NJ. General
and the Baltimore and Philadelphia r. n.
Company, are not likely to be realized. The
following are the propositions submitted bv
the +. Nj. General, which we understand
were not acceded to:
l. That the Company transport the South
ern and Northern mails and way mails be-
tween Philadelphia and Baltimore, under
charge of agents of the Post Office Depart
ment, to leave Philadelphia at hours to be fix
ed by the Postmaster General.
2. The Company to transport second dali
ly mail and way mails under charge of the
conductors, nine months in the year, and as
much longer as the Company runs two trains
OF passenger cars; this second mail to con-
meet with the morning mail from New York :;
the hours in other respects to be selected by
the Company.
3. The compensation for this service to be
$500 mile, about $50, 200 per annum, with
additional allowances for carrying the mails
between the Depots and Post Offices in the
two cities the compensation not to be in
creased, in case the Department should deem
II advisable to put the western mail on this
route.

THE PUBLIC PRINTING.

1t is stated, in the Madisonian, that Messrs.
Stambangh & Cameron offered to execute the
Public Printing at 80 per cent. less than the
price allowed by the law of lSI 9, under which
Blair 4 Rives were recently elected, and that
they offered to give bonds in the penalty of
S5OO,O0O faithfully to execute it. The cleo
ton of Blair & Rives, under such circumstan-
ces, shows what reliance is to be placed upon
the newborn zeal for ECONOMY DISPLAYED
in the last Message of the President, and in
the Report of his Secretary of the Treasury.

The crowd attended, and gave frequent tokens
of their joy, by repeated and uproarious
shouts. After Mr.. Clay had entered the
house, loud calls were made for him from with

selves, each and all, hearty shake of the

were duly commissioned under the great seal
OF the State of New Jersey, as her represent
tatlves in the 26th Congress of the United
States, were prevented from exercising their
rights and discharging their duties as such
representatives, were a ''fagraDt abuse of
power, paipable violation of the parlia-
rnentary law established by reason and unva-
rying usage, precedent of most alarming
and dangerous character, and an outrage upon
the rights and feelings Of the people Of n ew

rouse ~ representatives.
Mr.. GRAVES of Ky. asked leave OF the
House to offer resolution, which was read
Tor information. 1t commenced with pre-
amble referring to an occurrence in the House
some time since, when MIR. G.. made charge
against the Post Master General. The charge
was that one of the clerks of the Department
was now in Kentucky, editing an Admins
tratIon paper, and at the same time receiviug
a salary of twelve hundred dollars for seryi-
ces nominally rendered here.
The charge further stated that the sum of
$40 a month was paid to substitute here to
do the business of the Department. After the
reading OF the preamble, in which Mr.. Graves
further said that he had addressed letter to
MIR. Kendall, asking for information as to the
truth of the charge, which information Mr..
Kendall declined to give, Resolution was
read, authorising the Committee ON the Post
ofhce Expenditures to examine into the char
ges made, and report the facts to the House.
MI. hendalls answer to Mr.. Graves letter.
and the letter of MIR. Graves to Mr.. Kendall,
were read in the House. Mr.. Kendall declines
most peremptorily to give the desired infor-
matlon, and his letter excited considerable
merrlment in the House for its holiness. Mr..
Graves says he wishes to have his speech cor
rect, and if the charges were incorrect as
made In the House, he hopes to have official
information of the fact.
MIR. ALBERT SMITH of Maine objected
to the reception of Mr.. Graves resolutions.
Mr.. GRAVES moved the suspension of the
rules, and demanded the yeas and nays, two
thirds being necessary. The yeas Were lls,
the nays 80.
