Mr.. SMITH said he would submit to the ruling of
the Chair, but he had desired to put an end to
this contract by which the Post-office Department
was used to promote the establishment of a line
of settlements between the Mississippi valley and
the Pacific.
Mr.. SCorT, of California, spoke of the advantages
OF continuing the contract. He regarded the estab
lishment of the overland route one of the great
ests triumphs Of American enterprise.
Mr.. BURNETT, of Kentucky, moved to amend the
amendment by striking out the latter clause He OPP
posed the continuance of this route unnecessary
and expensive. He hoped the amendment of the
gentleman from Missouri (Mr. Blair) would be
carried in the House, and sent to the Senate, for
he regarded it as equivalent to breaking up the
contract. .---.
Mr.. MARSHALL, of Kentucky, advocated the ex-
listing route, and said it the best line for rail
road to the Pacific, and the shortest from New
York to the Pacific
Mr.. BURNETT withdrew his amendment.
Mr.. GoocH, of Massachusetts,, offered an amend
ment that the contractors be allowed to select the
route. 1t was known that they desired to carry
the mail by another route, and had been compelled
by the Department to use the present one.
Mr.. PHELPS, of NO., explained the action of the
department. He said the applicants for the con-
tract to carry the mails by the overland route were
all represented in Washington at the time the con-
tract let The subject attracted great attention
In the Cabinet, and route was selected. The bid
ders were then asked if they would be willing to
take that route, and they all assented.
Mr.. BURNETT, of KY, denied that there had been
any violation of law on the part of the Department
inasmuch the bidders had all agreed to use the
route preferred by the Postmaster General.
Mr.. AvERYs amendment was then agreed to.
Mr.. MARSHALL, of KY, offered amendment
that the section should not be construed to
compel the Postmaster General to continue con-
tracts which he did not consider required by the
public convenience
Mr. BLAIR hoped the amendment would not pre-
vail, as it would enable the Postmaster General to
compel contractors to carry the mails along such
routes as he might select.
Mr.. MARsHALL's amendment was reected-ayes
SO, noes IS.
Mr. BRANCH, of North Carolina, offered an
ations heretofore made for Post-offces, which was
agreed to.
. The Committee rose and reported the bill to the
House, but without taking any definite action upon
it the House adjourned.
