WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON. March 15.-The commit
tee on banking and currency this morning
agreed upon bill providing for issuing
silver bullion certificates. The bullion is
to be counted ct its equivalent in coin, less
mint charges and transportation. The
certificates are to be issued by any silver
coming mint or assay Office, and to be re-
deemable at the assay Office ID New York
and the mint in San Francisco; the Ger =
tidcates are to be legal tender in payment
for oil government dues.
The vote in the banking and currency
committee on the bullion certificate bill
was as follows: III favor of reporting it for
passage, Buckner, Ewing, Hartzel, Bell,
Yates. and Phillips, six; and against it,
Hardenberg, Eames, and Chittenden, 3;
Hart of Mass, was absent, Fort did not
vote
The committee on post Offices and post
| roads of the house haYe nearly completed
bill for the classification of mail matter
| and rates of passage thereon; mail matter
| is divided into four classes, first written
matter, second printed matter of two kind:
priviledged and ordinary, third othel
printed mAtter. fourth merchandise. Tht
rate now existing will probably not b.
changed, but the classification is simplifed
The bill will prohibit carrying mail matter
outside the mails, and authorizes the post
master general to use return postal card
and combined letter sheet and envelope
The committee is divided whether an,
distinc.ions should be made o.
rates on second class matter, and th
probability is the law will remain as it is
making rates and cents per pound.
