Mail Subsidy to Brazil.

In the United States Senate on Wednee-
day, pending action on the postoffice appro-
priation bill, Mr.. Bogy said there should be
a mail service from New Orleans to Rio
Janeiro, in Brazil. Our trade with South
America had been lost. All the exports
from THE country to South America should
come from the Mississippi valley, and
should find their outlet by way of shipping
facilities. That trade was lost. The little
Argentine Republic imported from England
to the extent of $6000,0 900 annually, while
its trade with the United States amounted
to only 100000 per annum.
Mr.. Burnside said he agreed with the
Senator from Missouri, that line of steam.
ers should be established between New Or
leans and Brazil. The English people were
driving our commerce off the seas. He
would favor any amendment to recover our
South American trade, which rightfully be-
longed to this country.
Mr.. Bogy submitted an amendment ap
prOpriating $780, 200, or so much thereof as
may be necessary, for monthly mail serv
ice from New Orleans to Rio JaneirO, and
the Postmaster General be and is hereby
authorized to enter into contract for thit
purpose with any parties to carry such maill
in American vessels of not less than 200C
tons burden.
Mr.. Hamlin submitted an amendment Il
that of Mr.. Bogy SO as to provide that the
ships shall be built under the direction anC
inspection of some naval officer, to be desig
mated by the Secretary of the Navy, anC
said ships shall at all times be subject t.
the use of the government at reasonable
rates for charter. Agreed to.
The amendment of Mr.. Bogy, as amended
by that of Mr.. Hamlin, just mentioned, wa
then agreed to.
The pOstoffice bill was then read thirC
time and passed. 1t goes to the committed
of conference.
Upon this matter the following dispatehe
were received in this city the same day:
WASHINGTON, February 81, 1877.
To Samuel H. Kennedy, New Orleans:
On my motion half million dollars wa
appropriated for mail line from New Or
leans to Rio Janeiro. Telegraph your mem
bers Immediately to attend to it.

These are from the columns of the Gin
Cinnati EnqWirer;
When South Carolina is reached, among
the objections which will be offered will be
one accompanied by the written testimony
taken by the South Carolina Investigating
Committee, which will take five days at
least to read.
Southerners say, in view of the disatfec-
ton of their members and their refusal to
unite on any filibustering movement, that
probably if Tilden had not written that let
ter on the payment of Southern claims he
might have more friends from the South,

The following dispatch was sent;
New ORLEANS, February %, 1877
To Hon. R. L. Gibson and others House of Repre-
sentatives, Washington:
The New Orleans Chamber of Commerce
earnestly request Representatives from
Louisiana to urge the House of Representa-
tives to concur with the Senate apprOpri.
alton for a subsidy for mail service from
New Orleans to Brazil
CYRUS BUSSEY,
President Chamber of Commerce.
Should the appropriation be adopted by
both houses, under the BOgy Hamlin amend
ment, it might not be made available for
years, and perhaps not forever. Before the
ships could be built, the period for which
the appropriation was made might expire
and the amount appropriated be thrown
back into the treasury as unexpended and
uncalled for. 1t was with view, there
fore, of making this appropriation of imme-
diate practical utility, that Hon. George A.
FOsdick, an eminent merchant of this city,
sent yesterday morning the following dis
patch:
General y. P. Banks, Member Of Congress, Wash
ington:
If possible add the following amendment
to Brasil mail contract: Service to COM
mence within three months from the date
of contract, with such steamers as the Sec
rotary of the Navy may approve, until the
steamships provided for in the previous sec
ton are built, which shall be within eight
