nK BOSTON rosr OFFICE LOCATION.
strong effort has been made here this session by the
real estate Of State e, Boston, to keep the
Fost Office The long agony about the location OF the
Boston Post Office Mr. Alley, of Massachusetts,, on
the part OF the House Committee Post Offices and Post
Roads to whom the subject specially referred decided
that tic present snap judgment law Of the last Congress,
induced by lobby paid for by real estate Of State
street, Boston, should remain in force until March 4,
1861, compelling Postmaster Capen to remain in State
street The Post Once Committee authorized Mr.. Alley
to report bill to the House embracing his views. He
did Friday, and ii referred to the Committee OF
the whole from which burial there will never be any
resurrection In the Senate Mr. Yulee, from the Post
Office Committee has reported that the charge Of the
State memorias that the change Of the Office from
State Sumner be made from improper and
corrupt reasons not sustained that the indemnity
Of $4,000, paid to secure government against
loss by State street parties, was paid upon
that they would sustain their allegations,
which they have rot DONE and hence should not be re-
leased The commtee!ask leave 10 be discharged from
further consideration Of the subject At the expiration Of
this session Of Congress- omorrow, Mr. Capen will be at
liberty to remove again. under instruction from the Post
Office Department, TO his Office in Summer street.
I'M SUPERINTENDENT on PumIc PRINTING.
The report that the President intends removing Mr.
Hart the Superintendent of Public Printing, for fear he
will purchase wendells printing establishment for the
government said to be mistake The services Of Mr.

nm DEFICIENCY
The disagreeing amendment upon which the fate the
Post Office Deficiency bill hangs for the restoration Of
the mail service discontinued by Postmaster Holt
said the Senate reconsidered the vote whereby
agreed the amendment to prevent the Postmaster Gene
raj from resgnng his place in the Cabinet 1t is possible
the question may settled before the House adourns to-
by committee of conference; but 1t is Doubtful
as the House will insist upon restoration, while the Senate
difficulty the Senate in the face Should the Senate
recede and agree amendment restoring the
service probable that the President will vetohe bill
rather than have rupture in his Cabinet.
Among the many valuable items in the bill IS the ceie-
brated E. X. Collins claim.
The President Yesterday sent for Mr. Coax Chairman
of the House Committee Post Oices, and urged he
passage Of bill authorizing the Postmaster General
10 contract temporarily for mail service to Cali
forna Mr. Colfax laid the matter before the House. and
as heretofore stated Mr. Sherman presented bill autho
rizng an extension Of the contract till the
4th of March at the present rate, which Is
only 600 per year. besides the Panama
Railroad charge. Horace F. Clark said the steamers
would take the contract at that amount Frank Blair
and others insisted that the Department could carry the
entire mail overland under the present law by improving
the St. Joseph Placerville route up daily line As
two thirds vote required to introduce the BILL and
majority voted against suspension of the rules it
failed and is now beyond resusctation.
II may be considered certain that the Post ONCE Def
cheney bill Is lost there is probability that quo
rum viii be present in the House to grant
another conference with the Senate that subject, and
even were this accorded the bill would not receive the
Presidents approval should the clause for the
restoration of the suspended mall service be retained
Such is the present condition Of the question The total
expenses months included in that bill amount to
about seven millions Congress having passed special
law appropratns the hostages the contractors for the
quarter ending with March, being little two mil
lions they viii have to wait for the remainder Of the
amount due until the next session Of Congress
The Pos, Route bill may also be regarded lost As
left the provided for various reforms such
transmission Of seeds, cuttings and blanks cent an
ounce and dealers send packages Of newspapers
pro rata rates.
Fear Is expressed tonight that there viii not be quo
rum in the House nso, the Post ohcc Def
cheney bin will fail surely Is currently reported that
the government desire the bill to fall from the fact that
there very little money In the Treasury and the thir
teen million contained the bill will be much saved
for other purposes Had Congress granted loan instead
Of only authorizing the ressung Of shin pasters re-
deem the Of last Congress- there would probably be
desire TO prevent the passage OF the bill In question
The CIVIL AND MISCELLANEOUS APPROXIMATION BILL
II was thought several days ago that the President
would veto the civil miscellaneous appropriation bili
owing 10 the provision that Capt Mess shall superniend
the disbursements OF ha million for the completion Of
the Washington Aqueduct constitutional question being
involved by Congress undertaking TO control the
ments or employment OF this army officer; but this bin
makes appropriations 10 the extent Of about FIVE millions
for lighthouse establishment coast survey &C. and as
veto would render extra necessary the Prcs
dent will approve H. with protest against the clause In
controversy.
