HOUSE.
In the course Of Debate in the House Mr..
Dawes said he desired to disabuse the bill OF
any prejudice arising from public buildings
IN New York. He believed that the bill
should stand upon its own merits. As to
the New York post Office costing ten millions.
Mr. Randall of Pa, said that he meant ter
millions for both the New York and Bosto1
post Offices
Mr.. Dawes regretted that the gentleman
did not always say what he meant. If it was
necessary to drag the Boston custom house
INTO the discussion he was certainly willing
That custom house had never been enlarged
hairs breadth, nor had dollar been ex
pended on it beyond the limitation put on the
original bill. The gentleman's new born
zeal IN regard to corruption had led to con
fusion in his mind, and to mistake what he
was talking about. 1t was the New York
court house he was talking about that had
cost ten millions, and he regretted that the
new role the gentleman Ran Iall) was at
tempting, had led him into confusion.
Mr.. Randall-The United States Courtt
are to be accommodated in the post Office
building.
Mr. Dawes-Do your own talking in your

Mr.. Randall will correct the gentleman.
statements whenever l can, in or out of my
time.
Mr.. Dawes-The Boston court house has
no more connection with this subject than
the New Orleans custom House, which is
grand demonstration of zeal and economy
The gentleman's political associates are ac-
customed to illustrate in their lives and votes
The cost of the New York post office was
limited to three millions, and the enlarge
ment to which the gentleman refers is under
ground. When they came to lay the founta-
ton, it was found that they had to sink it 80
feet before they could get solid foundation,
and Congress appropriated $500, 900 more to
finish up that underground work, which gives
one third additional room. That is the en-
argement, and S3,SOO,000 is the limitation
Of the entire cost 1t would never exceed
that unless those who now control the treas
ury Of the United States shall pass out of
power, and that pass into the hands of those
who rather preaC 'tan practice.
The House befors its adjournment passed
the bill appropriating S23 900 to meet the
deficiency caused by the defalcations of F.
A. Mccartney, late disbursng clerk in the
post office department.
