lEin the Postmasters report, TO alter the present
rates, as named in my last letter to you, forgot to
m enton that he proposes 10 reduce still iartherthe
benefits Of the late law, by making the minimum
weight OF letter ounce instead of half ounce, as
now. Whether Congress will accede to these
alterations not ii will rest with the people 10
determine, who believe, will not sanction rise in
the postage Of letters now.
riI is supposed that Messrs Lamar and Archer
will be elected Senators from Texas-such is the
opinion OF Gen. Green, who is a candidate for Con-
gress, al present here.
Ia the House OF Representatives to-day, nothing
was done up TO three o'clock, but me ton to ad.
joun TO Monday next, which was adopted, and
resolution OF Mr.. Cobb, to ballot for seats on the
floor OF the House This last motion prevailed, and
caused great confusion, as well as merrlment
among the members, who congregated en- masse on
the. vacant area in front of the Speakers chair
This movement ! don't think will be again re-
peated, as II does not attain the end which the
original resolution had IN view vizi the collecting
the members together at the earliest period before
the meeting OF Congress-
Several motions were made by Messrs. Payne, OF

Senate.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 4, 1916.
In the Senate this morning, Mr.. Breese's melton
for the suspension of the 34lh rule and conerring
the appointment OF committees upon the Senate. was
rejected The choice Of the committees WILL there
fore, be by ballot, and not by appointment by the
President OF the Senate, as has been the custom for
a number OF years past The Senate, after this de-
cislon adjourned over 10 Monday Meanwhile, it
IS reasonable 10 anticipate caucus Of the majority
will decide upon the chalrmen OF the principal com
mttees, or some OF them
There was some lille debate upon this resolution.
Mr.. MANGUM, with great force Of argument, de-
nonnced the plan OF appointing committees by the
Chair, and said something about the heir presunlp-
tive the crown which could have hardly been IN
tended for Mr. Dallas. Mr. ALLEN protested that
Breese's motion was not made from the instieation
Of any caucuS-trom no preconcerted acuon-and
said that though the Vice President was not re-
sponslbe TO the Senate, but he was responsible
TO The Senate masters" the people, and that.
therefore, he might be relied on Mr. Breese
sustained his resolution Mr. Benton read ex-
tracts from journals OF preceding years. Mr.
Mangum called for the ayes and noes and the re-
suit was 20 for giving the appointment OF the COM
miteea to the Vice President and q for the ballot
ing system, Mr.. Benton and Mr. Westcott voting
with The wings in the negative. We incline 10 think
that Col Benton wishes the chair on the finance
committee, and that the preference of Mr. Dallas is
Mr. Calhoun or Mr. Cass But nous ue,Tons Wait
a little
