yesterday, and were lost among which was one
for establishing uniform rate Of five cents, there
being 60 for and rs against it.
Mr.. Potter, Of Ohio, moved as amendment,
that the postage letter weighing less than halt
an ounce and on in proportion, be three cents !;
and that post route be discontinued in conse-
quence of the passing of the act; which was car
ried, 81 to 10.
The postage on newspapers was the next sub
ect of consideration, and various amendments to
the second section Of the bill, were proposed and
negatived; among which was one authorizing the
circulation of papers Of $50 square inches, through
out the United States, upon pre- payment of half
the usual rate of postage. The object was to pro.
mote the circulation of papers published by reli.
gious and benevolent societies, but in favor o.
which only Al members voted.
An amendment pending that papers, when cir.
cuated in the county where published, within
thirty miles Of the place of publication, be trans
mitted free of postage, was carried by a vote o
| 10 to 40.
TWAS also agreed that fifty per cent of the post
age magazines and other periodicals, be RENTED
when postage shall have beeu prepaid.
