oo- The Providence Post attempts a
very lame defence TO the charge Of
making a very nice operation by fur
nishing envelopes TO the State. The
Post says that the statements which we
made in regard TO this matter are false /;
this is just about what might be expect
ed from such an unprincipled man as
Mr.. SayIes he says that his partner,
Mr.. Miller, furnished the envelopes, and
that he had nothing TO do with the tran
sacuon. Now we have il from excellent
authority, Democratic at that, that
Sayles & Miller furnished the envel-
opes,-and we have no doubt of the fact.
The Post further states thar the envcl-
opes were furnished TO the Stale az low
as they could possibly be by any ar
rangement whatever; this ls n grossly
false assertion we again reitcrate our
charge that the envelopes could have
been furnished tor three hundred dol
lars less than what Sayles & Miller re-
cieved Tor their contract. Had the Sec
re,ary transacted the business himself,
as he should have done, this amount
would have been saved 10 the SIate,-
and the fraud would not have been com.
mit,ed against the law by the circula-
ton oi these envelopes contrary TO the
express provisions Of the law.

COMPANY-THR PASSAGE TO
.s.r CALIFORNIA; a.s

U,HE public will be gratifcd 10 learn that the
/ United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
abled TO announce that their arrangements arenow
complete for sending passengers through from
NeW York To San Francisco and back.
In the first attempts Of this Company To meet
the wants Of travel to California, by providing
ships on the Pacific, in connection with their
ships from New York to Chagres, they were pre-
vailed upon, at the urgent solicitation Of the great
number then desrous to go out, TO sell tickets for
through passages from Panama in advance, for
their ships then going round This was done
from desire to accommodate those who could
procure passages in no other quarter, and by
which, whatever might be the detention, they
would reach San Francisco sooner than by any
other line. Unforeseen difficulties, and the preva-
ience of fever at Rio de Janero at the time, pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama as soon
as anticipated, and caused detention at the 18TH
mus, which was increased by the impotence of
passengers in going forward, against the advice
OF the Company, at an earlier day than the ship
could possibly reach Panama.
These Interruptions now all removed.
Three Of the four ships OF the Company, intended
for the Pacific service, have arrived at Panama,
and several of them have performed trips to San
Francisco and back. So that the Company are
now able to give the public the assurance that the
voyage through from New York TO San Fran
cisco, will be performed with regularity and des-
patch. g.. >... .',.
