~ iaaaaAxAa iaAinaas directly or indirectly the
threat that The Southern Rights party or any
other portion Of the Southern people woula be
governed by the action Of the Houss upon this
question.
Mr.. FREEMAN was understood to inquire of
what party the Sosahern Press was the organ'
Mr.. BROWN replied that it represented like
all other papers, its patrons, and those who
agreed with the opinions il expressed.
Mr. FREEMAN inquired il he understood his
colleague TO admit that the Southern Press was
not the organ Of any organised party
Mr.. BROWN did not know that il was, and did
not profess to say whose organ il was.
Ihs conversation was then interrupted by the
chair as being out Of order.
Mr.. STANTON then proceeded and sustained
the committee and charged the contractor with a
violation Of his contract
Mr. PARKER, Of Indiana, then argued that
the Committee on Printing had charge Of this
whole subject. The law on the subject precluded
the House from being troubled with these mat
ers. for gave the disposition Of this question to
the Committee on Printing. The House had no.
thing to do with the question, for under the law
the committee had full power to remedy any ne
glect or delay on the part Of the contractor:
He then strongly advocated the proposition to
establish government printing Office. lncoDclu-
sion he moved to lay the whole question on the
table.
The yeas and nays were ordered on this mo-
ton, when
The House adjourned.

FOR CALIFORNIA.

UNITED STATES MAIL STEAM SHIP
COMPAN Y-THROUGH PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA.
TIHE public will be gratifed to learn that the
| United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
abled to announce that their. arrangements now
complete for sending PASSENGERS through from
New York to San Francisco and beck.
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 DESTROYS 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 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-
lence of fever at Rio de Janeiro at the time, pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama soon
.as anticipated, and caused ds4ention 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 are 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
cisco, will be performed with regularity and des-
petch.
Their Pacific Line, from Panama to San Fran
cisco, consists Of the
REPUBLIC, Capt. HUDSON.
lTHMUS, Capt. HiTcHCoCK.
COLUMBUS, Capt. PECK
ANTELOPE, Capt. AcKLEy.
Their Atlantic and Gulf Line, from New York
to Chsgres, Of the
GEORGIA, Capt. PORTER, U. S. N.
OHIO, Capt. ScHENcK, U. S. N.
FALCON, Capt. HARTsTEIN, us. N.
The connection between the two lines WI be
carefully and regularly kept up, so that no delay
beyond the usual stay of the ship in port at Pana-
ma, will arise.
The large size well known speed, and superior
accommodations Of their New York and Chagres
Line, and the speed and accommodations of the
ships of their Pacific Line offer the most certain,
rapid, and pleasant through passage to California.
