Morgan on the Forfeiture Bill,

The resolution offered yesterday by
Morgan calling on the secretary of the
interior for information as to lands of the
Northern Pacific Railway company, and
of other companies whose roads were not
completed within the period fixed by the
granting act, was taken up, discussed
and agreed to. On motion of Plumb, the
conference report on the railroad for
telture bill, was taken up The main
proposition in the report is contained in
the first section as follows: "That there
is hereby forfeited to the United States
and The United States hereby resumes
title thereto Of all lands heretofore
granted to any state or to any corporation
to aid in the construction of any railroad
opposite to or coterminous with
a portion of any such railway not
now completed and in operation
for the construction or benefit of which
such lands we're granted and all such
lands are declared to be part of the pub
lie domain, provided that this act shall
not be construed as forfeiting the right of
way or etation grounds of any railroad
company heretofore granted the same.
Morgan opposed the report as a log
rolling scheme gotten up for the benefit
of all land grant roads. He said that
while the first section professed to he for
FIXTURE all other sections related to separ-
ate railroads and exempted them from
the operation Of the forfeiture section or
else secured to them certain pecuniary
advantages. 1t could scarcely be said
that there vas any land forfeited by the
bill to the government in consequence of
the failure of roads to comply with the
terms of the original grants. The most
that could be said of it was that a few
small roads that had not got friends
enough In the two houses to stand up for
them and hold up their hands were to be
crucitied for the sake of CLOSING over
and vanishing the false pretense of the
general forfeiture. After speaking for
over four hours, Morgan said he knew
the questions which he had been discuss
lug were going " tueIf grave III tue pas
sage of the bill, but that he desired to
give them decent burial. He had d,sllk-
ed to erect II head stone over the graves
of the rights of the people on the line of
the Northern Pacific SO that historic re-
cord might be read hereafter. He had
wanted to remind the people of the
Uuited States of the vast robbery perpe-
trated by that company and which was
sanctioned, wound up and brought Il a
conclusion by the bill. He knew what
the vote would be; he knew when repub-
licans came in IN n side of a report
and democrats opposing, what the result
would he. Whenever the bill was passed
forfeiture of Northern Pacific lands
would be dead and buried and nothing
more would be heard about 1t. Without
finishing his speech Morgan yielded tile
floor on a motion to adjourn.

BETTER POSTAL ARRANGEMENTS.
To Have More Clerks and Additional De-
livery Facilities.

The postal service in this city is TO be
greatly improved in the near future, aud
the facilities are TO be extended TO por-
tions of the city that do not now receive
such benefits.
On the 1st of June twelve additional
stamp-agencies will be established in diff
ferent parts OF the city, and the promise is
given that the clerical force at the post
Office will be enlarged and additional free
delivery facilities afforded after July 1st,
when the appropriations for the ensuing
fiscal year are available.
INSPECTORS HEBF.
Some weeks ago Special-Agent Darby, of
the free-Delivery Department at Wash
ington. came down here TO make an in
spection of the workings Of this particular
branch Of the service and 60 recommend
such improvements as he thought were
needed. lie came upon the solicitation Of
Postmaster Russell. and after going over the
city and seeing what large territory and
population small quota Of carriers have TO
serve he went back 10 the national capital
fully impressed with the absolute necessity
of extending the free delivery. He so is-
ported, but the department said IT could
not then be done.
Recently MIR. A. II. Scott. chief Of the
Salary and Allowance Division of the
Post-Oiiice Department. came here under
INSTRUCTIONS from Postmaster General
Wanamaker 10 examine into and report III
relation to the service and 10 ascertain
what improvements. if anv. were needed.
HIS OBSERVATIONS.
Mr.. Scott made careful personal exnmi-
nation of the post-office, and IN company
with the Postmaster visited tho various
parts of the city and the suburbs, where
improvements were being made This was
his first visit to Richmond. The growth
and enterprise as shown by the establish
ment of new enterprises and the erection
of large numbers OF new buildings greatly
impressed and surprised him, and the ex-
tension Of the city in all directions showed
him the need of additional stamp agencies,
or places where persons can obtain stamps,
postal cards, and reliable postal informa-
ton, and on his recommendation the de
partment has decided to establish the
twelve additional stamp agencies. Mr.
Scott also said that the clerical force was
not sufficient. and in his report TO the de-
partment he made very complimentary al
iusiOns 10 both Messrs. Russell and Grubbs.
The increase of the postal receipts here
last year over the twelve months previous
was S23, ,606.
There are now six stamp agencies here.
The location of some Of these will probably
he changed when Mr. Russell begins to
look out for places for the new ones.
