c'l l"gislltiuu to interfere with the great and
paramouut interest of the country. There has
been less local legislation by this Congress TIL
anv which has preceded it Tor many years. To
Mr. co fax, the able Chairm IN of the Committee
On Post Offices and Post Roads, am greath
indebted for The p,ssagp Of the law establishing
the routes asked for by the Toedo Poslal Con.
