Chase were elected members.
At the last meeting committee, consisting
Of Messrs. +. o. Libby, M. G. Palmer and
John II. Hall, were appointed to confer with
the Postmaster, to see if the cashiers office
cannot be kept open for the sale of stamps
during the distribution of the mails. Mr.

they had had an interview with Major Dole,
but nothing definite could be effected with
him.
Mr.. M. G. Palmer read letters from Assis-
tant Postmasters in the Post Offices in Boston,
Providence and Lowell, which stated that the
delivery as.'well as the cashiers windows, were
kept open in those offices all day. and were
not closed until the offices were closed for the
day.

Palmer, Capt. Daniel Hood, +. o. Libby, T.
L. Twitchell, and G. Il. Jose, in which the
conduct Of the Postmaster in refusing to ac-
cede TO the wishes of the merchants, was Sc
verely criticised. 1t was thought that the clos
ing Of the window for the sale of stamps dur
ing most Of the time from half past II until
O'clock P. NJ. was an evil that should be
remedied.
The report of the committee was accepted,
and, as nothing could be effected with the
was voted, that the committee he instructed TO

that said memorial be submitted to the man

The case OF the California Quicksilver Min
ing Company came up in the Supreme Court
to-day, aud was set for hearing on the 10th
inst. The mines are now worked on contract
to pay the government one-third of the pro-
ceeds, and in the event of a decision in favor
OF the United States, the company is to give
peaceable possession.
There seems to be no difference of opinion
among the Senators that the election of SEN

ly be introduced in the Senate defining the
constitutional provision with reference to such
