Judge Woodbridge one of Sanborns counsel who
has been here looking after the case slnce the IN

Prescott not to reveal the names OF the parties 10

Whether the Committee will insist on answers has

The Sanborn bill and the bill rotating to Custom

Where now a chill fear fingers,

Just where the stud should 20 on.

That rents and stains have cross d it,
And yet I've mourned it long and deep,
Since, coming home, l lost it.

And with its loss, sh, well-a-dayl
Fair dreams and hopes have perish d.

CoNanEss.-Iu the Senate, on the 18th,

CONGRESS. In the Senate, on the 9Th,
the postoftce appropriation bill was pass
ed. Ii apprcpriates S39, 100000. One
OF the amendments to the bill is that the
provision requiring prepa yment OF postage
on newspapers and periodicals. shall not 90
into effect until January |, 1875. The
bill as passed "retains the clause pro-
viding that the postage on all newspapers
aud periodicals shall be prepaid, but with a
proviso that it shall not take effect until
after the first of January next. A clause
was also adopted allowing the Congression
al Record to go free through the m ails, and
the postage on all public documents TO be
paid at the place of delivery. From past ex :
perIence it is not likely that this last pro-
vision will work very satisfactorily. Sena-
tors have laid great deal of stress upon the
importance of supplying the dear people
with the public documents, and the intense
desire of the people in that respect. The
strong probability is, however, that very
few of the documents will be taken from
the postotiice when postage has to be paid
on them" ln the House, resolution was
| adopted requesting the President to nego.
tate with foreign powers for the establish
ment OF an International system whereby ma
iional disputes may be settled by arbiira
