son Davis, that the ranking privilege formerly ex
ercised by al! deputy postmasters up to the year
1915, be extended to all whose salaries do not ex
coed 5000.
Mr.. Hopkins, chairman of the post Office com.
mittee asked Messrs Davis and Bggs to withdraw
their amendments, as the committee in a few DAYS
would report bill concerning the compensation of

MIR Biggs withdrew his amendment, and that of
Mr.. Davis was rejected

1t approprotcs 5000 acres of the public land, to
be sold under the direction of the Secretary of the
Treasury and the proceeds applied to the purchase
of books for the use of the several blind instltu-
tons in the country. Mr. Tibbatts asked that the
bill should be considered at this time but as it
contained an appropriation it was requisite that it
should be referred TO the committee of the whole.
1t was read twice and referred accordingly
Mr.. Il. NJ. Y. Hunter moved that the House 90

cia ORDER being the bill to relrocede the county of

o. The editor Of the N. Y. Tribune, speaking
Of the railroad from Worcester TO Boston, says it
"does an immense business both in freight and pas
sengers. In addition to all the local travel of all
the little villages between its extreme points, six
daily passenger trains pass over it from Albany,
four from NewYork, and four from Norwich, be-
sides half dozen freight trains Indeed gravel
cars included, sixtyeght trains traverse its track
daily, from which it will be seen that the mind,
which governs their time of starting and rate of
speed, must be very active and accurate, or fatal
collisions and accidents would occur. Mr. A. w.
Dana, the Depot Superintendent, has ample field
for his energy and ability, and the perfect clock
like regularity with which the business moves is the
best evidence of his fidelity"

WASHINGTON, Tuesday, May 5.-The Secretary
of War received, last night, dispatches from the
army of occupation ten days later. The Mexicans
were busily employed in completing their fortified
tons; but, apparently, rather from apprehension of
an attack from the United States troops than from
any intention to enter upon offensive measures
themselves. 1t is now said that the President is
waiting for Mr.. Sidell's arrival in this city, which
will be about two weeks hence, to make up his
mind as to the course 10 be taken by him in rela-
ton to Mexican affairs. 1t is surprising that the
Union has not announced that the notice has been
sent to the British Government 1t is fact, how
ever, that it has gone.-..N Y. Com. .4dv.
