aud copsdetate attention.
The reports of the Secretary Of the Ma

These reports, III, ugh Iergthy, are scarcely
more than brief txtrscts of the very hume
rous aud extensive transactions aud "pera-
tinns conducted through these Departments
Nor could give summary cf them here
upon any principle which would admit of

with laying TIE reports before you, and
asking your attention to them.

previous year WAS 81 551 966 9S For
The lasi fiscal year 1t WAS reduced TO 50, | l.

tnct owing TO the cessation Of mail convey

The efficiency Of the postal service, it is
