remarked yesterday upon the project TO resign the
post office establishment to individual hands 1t would
be great and beneficial reform. II commerce, Bayiga

merchandise Many good, old time people though, that
there could be no exchanges unless the United States

The Naval Committee of The Senate have been, al
their unanimous request, discharged from the further
consideration OF all propositions looking TO any mod
hcation of the law OF the late session providing for

stone basin and railway at some point on the California
coast.
The committee OF course would not counienance a
project for dispensing with the basin and railway which
would have left the dock insecure. The House com
mitlee will come to the wise conclusion, and the
verbal entered into between the Secretary OF the
Navy and the parties above named will OF course be
ecuted. ~ ION.
