rides that postmasters the receipts Of whose

ter. Tie commissions are reduced from so to

sions are reduced from 40 to 50 per cent; over
5000 per quarter, from Ii per cent. to lit on

Of l.. It curtails the number Of routa agents,
and makes tile maximum Of their salary 5000
Per nnnum, VII Gu is the present maximum in
New England, New York, and fourteen other
States. instead Of Il 900. It also repeals the
proviso odoptsd in 1854, which authorized the
Postmaster-GeueroIt to allow increased compen.
sation to postmasters, and his commissions, and
requires him To curtail the amount now allowed
for clerks in postoMces, which has increased
from gee, 900 in ls3s TO &, 600, 900. The Com

It made q special effort to exotic hostility
against that eminent divine, Bishop Simpson.
It quoted from tho files Of the Western Chris
