THE POST OFFICE.
On motion of Mr. MCKAY the House resolved
itself into Committee OF the Whole on the state o
the Union, Mr.. JACOB THoMrsON, Of Mississippi
IN the chair and resumed the consideration of tn
bill making appropriations for the service Of tn
Post Office Department, for the year ending 30d
June, lS47.
The state Of the question was this:
! Mr.. Com had heretofore moved to strike out thu
following proyiso:
provided, That nothing herein contained shal
be construed to authorize any payment 10 supply
deficiency in the appropriation for compensation o
postmasters,
And Mr.. JEFFERSON DAVIS had heretofore movct
| the following amendment:
| "And provided further, That these officers shall
be- and hereby are relieved from all charge upol
mailabe matter addressed and properly belonging
| to them"
Mr.. HAMLlN, who was entitled to the floor
(hayng moved the rising of the committee when tn,
| bill was last under considerations said he had no
taken the floor to continue the debate which at tina
time had been progressing, which would directly
| come up on bill which would soon come unde
| the consideration Of the House. He would there
fore yield the floor with the expression Of the hop,
that the time for action having arriyed-the com
mittee would proceed TO act.
| Mr.. HOPKINS, chairman Of the Committee or
the Post Office and Post Roads, said il would be re
membered, when the subject was up few day
since, he expressed the opinion that if this provst
were retained in the bill and made to operate tn,
compensation of postmasters, 1t would leave then
at several Offices without dollar Of pay. II,
had said that would be the case with the postmaster
at Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore
New Orleans and ST. Louis. That position wal
controver,ed by the chairman Of the Committee o
Ways and Means, Mr.. MCKAY and also by tn,
gentleman from New York, Mr. RArHBUN. Sine,
that time he had examined the subject further, ant
he desired now to relieve himself from the contra
dction then given to his remarks by these two gen
tlemen particularly. He had before him state
ment obtained from the Post Office Department
showing the state Of accounts at the several pos
offices named, for the quarter ending 9lst December
l545, which fully sustained him in the position h
had then taken. This was the official statement o
the accounts of these. several post Offices for tina
quarter.
