The Confederate Mall Servfce---valua-
 bIe Books Recommended for Pur-
 chase.
 WASHINGTON, March 3.-The Speaker laid before the House to-day a letter from the Post master General in relation to an appropriation of $375, 900 for the pay of Southern mail con- tractors before the war. The Postmaster General says no money has been paid. It has very recently been brought to his attention in very confidential manner that certain parties, whose names and residences have not been given to him, have valuable books andrecords of the Postofice department of the late so- called Confederate States. The books are hrst record of schedules and contracts for the transportation of mails from July 1st, 1861, to November IT, 1864; second, the postage, stamp and envelope ledger; third, the register of sealed letters; fourth, the register of post age stamps; fifth, books of communications and letters of the Postmaster General of the ConfederacY from October 12, 1864, to April 1, 1865; sixth, a statement of the disbursement of the Postoffice department from October 14, 1865, to April 1, 1865, in- cluding what was paid to contractors for their services under the United States. This book, Postmaster General Key says he is told, gives the names of contractors and the amounts paid, distinguishing those paid for their services to the United States from others, and includes all payments so made. He was informed that this book gives the payments of this character to aggregate the sum of between $449, GOO and $45O, 1000. He believed that these books would be very valuable if these claims were ever to be adjusted for payment. They could be obtained for the sum of $25,- GOO, but the Postmaster General was not au- thorized to purchase the books nor had the department any appropriation for that pur- pose. He believed it was his duty to bring hs subject to the attention of Congress.
