New-York daily tribune., 1866-02-15

Nothing 80 important short OF the judiciary lhs
bill proposed to give the States not on alcsoie lea
tions the privilege of the postohce on credlt wnei
existed in no other part Of the country ms oug hot
TO be given to the South until the pending quesohs
were satisfactorily settled.
Mr.. ALLEY replied that this bill did not provide that
postage stamps should be sold on credit IL was the
former bill which contained such a feature.
Mr. BANKS said this question ought not TO be decided
on debate which took place elsewhere. There was
nothing more important than the principle involved IN
Mr. ALLEY in replying to Mr. Kasson said the gen.
tleman was incorrect in his statement when he said
the bill would take from the Department half million
of dollars. The stamps cost the Government a very
trfng sum- and the revenue wonld be very much in
creased by this bill. A great many stamps would be
disposed Of which would not otherwise be sold. He
was in favor of granting this privilege to Union men
and all others OF the South If 1t developed the resources
Of the Government and did no harm to any one.
Mr.. boutwell, wished to know why a postmaster
was not appointed in every town and village OF the
South.
Mr. ALLEY-Becauso the Postmaster General is so
particular that he will not allow any man to serve VINO
does not take and subscribe TO the oath.
| Mr.. BOUTWELL, asked whether the gentleman intended
10 inform the House that there were not any loyal men
in the eleven Southern States.
Mr. ALLEY replied that goo posmasters ought 10 be
appointed in the South but the Posmaster-G General
had been able to procure only 1000 who were able and
willing 10 take the oath. ~
Mr. FINCK said that not to grant these facilities
would be a confirmation Of despotsm by the majority
20 deprive the people Of the rights they would otherwise
have under the Government This was merely bill 10
carry the business of the PostOice Department.
II necessary should be passed or that the test
oath should be swept from the statute-book lie knew
Of other more calculated 10 produce the mar
mony and satisfactory feeling consistent with our inst'
tutons than by extending TO the Southern people the
facilities OF the Post Office.
The morning hour here expired and the bill went
over
