Legislatures passed bill reduce the present rates OF
postage a uniform ofye cents; aud whereas, this
bill has been reported the House OF Representatives by
the Chairman OF the Post 0nce Committee, recommending
that tho bill of said Committee be substituted in len OF The
hill Of the Senate and whereas, II such recommendation
be Rdoptei the House OF Representatives at ihs late Pc
Rod OF the session, the House bill will open discussion in
House aud Senate, and thereby defeat the passage OF
Senate BILL which generally meets the appreciation
the people and whereas. the interests of the Post
Ofcc Department well tho convenience of the who
