ject to any impersonal septimate, be-
cause it would be equivalent to recog-
milton of Republic. Extreme right

WASHINGTON, May 10. The House
Postal Committee have reported on the
Pacific Mail subsidy. The report says
that the only question which the Com.
feel called upon to consider, is the sim
pie one as to whether the contract has
been complied with; and whether the
noncompliance has worked forfeiture
of the rights of the Co npany, under the
terms of the contract regarding the per-
formance of said additional service by
American built iron steamships of 1000
tons register, to commence October 1st,
1873. They add that, interpreting the
terms of the contract strictly, ,as they feel
bound to do. they do not see how they
can accept the declarations of the Com
pany as to the cause of the delay in pro-
viding steamships, and they accordingly
find that such failure actually works q
forfeiture of the rights of the Company
under said contract. The question oi
| aid to American commerce, to which the
testimony of John Roach was chiefly di
rected. the Postal Committee do not re.
gard as legitimately before them. They
refer to the testimony of Trenor W.Parl
and Mr.. Scott as to the so-called "cor
ruption fund" of $50, 900 and its ALLEGED
absorption by the agent to whom it wa
entrusted, and say that, admitting tha
the present management of the Compa
ny are entirely innocent in the matter
the fact remains that the old organiza
tions consented to set aside fund TO
corrupt uses, and that if corrupt mean
were employed to secure an additiona
subsidy, Congress should rot hesitat
to declare said additional subsidy for
feited on any ground, either technica
or real. The Committee concluded b
recommending that existing appropria
ton of $500 be converted into tn
Treasury, and that no further appropri
alton be made for additional service.
