Thirty-sixsh oongrcss-Frst session.

WASHINGTON, March l6-Sendte.- motion OF
Mr.. Anthony, resolution was adopted instructihg
the Committee on the Post Office and Post roads to
inquire into the expediency of providing by law
for the prepayment of the penny post.
Mr.. Hammond presented papers in relation to
the claim of Captain VIM. Il. Hudson, of the u. S.
Navy, for reimbursement of certain expenditures
made by him while in command of the Niagara
engaged in laying the Atlantic cable.
The Senate took up the bill to authorize the sale
of public arms to the several States and Terrific
ries, and to regulate the appointment of supern
tendents Of the national armories; and after some
discussion, an amendment was adopted, providing
that the sales in each year shall not exceed the in
creased manufacture which may result from said
sales, and that the whole number to be Sold If less
than the reQnsitions made, shall be divided be-
tween the States applying, pro rata, as arms fur
nshed by the United States are now distributed.
Without disposng of the bill, it was laid aside
and the private calendar taken up. Seven private
bills were passed, when the Senate went into ex-
ecutive session, and afterwards adjourned to Mon
day ne&ts
House-Mr. Pendleton offered preamble that
whereas the Chairman of the Gommitte on Public
Printing stated, ON this floor, that the prices for
composition now allowed by law are too large, and
that half pay would be abundant, and more than
sufficient; and that whereas by the terms of the
resolution heretofore adopted preliminary to
the election Of printer, the House reserved the
right to reduce the compensation at any time there
after, therefore, be it b
Res0lred That the Committee on Printing be in
strncted to report bill by which the prices of
compensation now fixed by law can be reduced to
half that amount.
Mr.. Washburn, of Maine, objected, if the resolu-
ton would lead to discussion.
Mr.. Houston presumed there would be no objec-
ton if the resolution were changed and placed in
the form of an inquiry. S
Mr.. Pendleton preferred to let the resolution
stand as it was. He took it for granted that the
views Of the Chairman were those Of the entire
committee.
MFR. Washburne, of Maine. objected, saying thai
unanimous consent was necessary for its introduc
ton.
The House then went into Committee of thu
Whole on the amendments to the rules.
The various amendments were considered wheI
the committee rose. Nearly all the amendment
were concurred in, and several were reserved TO
separate votes.

A few days ago Deputy Sheriff F. G. Babin was

Of the parish, and returning home with one dollar
and fifty cents in cash, when on the Bayou Sara
road, man in a mask sprang out from a kind of
slew or gully, and with very elegant doubie-bar-
relied persuasive, demanded of him to throw him
'that he had about him. The man had kind OF
vail or mask over his face, and outwardly looked
very like an ordinary gentleman Mr.. Babin was
at first disposed to take the matter as joke, and
iocularly remarked to the man on the road thai
he "could not fool him-that he knew him. To
this the fellow responded: IF thought SO would

to give the fellow the dollar and half of States
