A resolution to print tbe meterological report of tbe Smllbsonian Institute caused some debate. Mr, Ilan ter objected to the publication. Mr. Fitch said that the request to print eamofrom the President of the Smithionien Institute and the Commissioner! of Patents. Mr. Fessenden opposed tbe printing,on the ground that tbe work collected was not authorised by Con gress. Finally, the further consideration of tbo subject was postponed. Mr. Hunter moved to postpone prior orders and take up tbe Post-Office Deficiency BUI. Adopted. The bill was taken up and read. Tbe first amend ment made by tbe Committee of Finaoee, was to make provision for wrapping paper, mail paper, Ae.; it was agreed to. The second amendment to -tbo 2d Section, providing that interest should only be paid to tho contractors themselves, and be in full of all claims for damages, and providing tbat no interest Is to be allowed on the last qaarter. Mr. Hunter said It gave the Interest to tbo contrac tors lo lieu of damages. Mr. Cbesnut tbongbt it did great injustice to as signees. - Mr. Huniarsald tbat tbe latter coaid have tbeir claims adjudicated in court. What was wanted was to clear tbo Uoited .state* of any claim of damages, and pay the interest to thore only who could release the government. Mr. Hall wanted to know whether tbo interest was confined to tbe deficiency of last year. Mr. Hunter said, yea. Mr. Hall thought It would set a dangerous prece dent. Tbe Postmaster General goes on making con tracts just as though Congress had made an appro priation. Mr. Hunter replied that tbe Post Master General is compelled by law to make these contracts. Tbe Post Master General did not pledge the government to pay interest. Congress allowed it in lieu of dam ages. After further debate and trifling modification, tbe amendment was adopted. Mr. Toombs moved aa amendment to include tbe sub-contractors who actually performed tbe service, in the benefits of (be MIL Adopted. Mr. Hunter mored to reconsider, on thegrouod that tbe department did not know the rab contrac tors. Mr. Davis thought tbe ainaadmfbt eminently just and proper. / Mr. Toombs laid bo wanted those who did tbe work to get the money. He did not want to give it to those who prowled about the department and got tbo contracts and sublet them to honest meo wbo did tbe wore. . Messrs. Rica and Filch opposed tbe amendment. Mr. Doolittle saiJ the amendment would give the department endless Rouble In decldiog on coufllot ing claims of contractors and sub-oontraetor*. The contractor was the man who suffered'tbe damage; be bad furnished tbe means lo carry on tbe service wbon the government failed to do so. Tbo ameodmeet was reconsidered. The amendment was then rejected, ayesj 17, nays .The third otaeadment provides for tbo abolishment of the franking privilege after May let, bat that all P*r*oo« now entitled to tha privilege an exempted from tbo peymeatof postage. Mr. HamUa eaid that tha ameodmaot was a bad business. Thera are differences of oplaloa on this poiot which woold laaJ to tha defeat of tha biiL At the I ait teuton, Mr. Trumbull denoaneed tha abate of tba franking privilege. Ho wanted to fee tho whole system abolished, and moved to strike oat the lait clause, which would saddle the expense upon a constituent who would receive letters or document!. Mr. Feuenden advocated the amendment as it stood. K ice said the present object was to pty tha mftjeit debts of the government, and the Senate ih’ohid not embarrass action by introducing subjeots not gennain thereto. Mr. Toombs said the mail contractors had nomore claims than any other class of pablle creditor*. Now was tho best time to get the reform through. This privilege which costs the Department now $1,300,000 per annum, ought to be abolished; it was not proper that mamber* who wrote to constituents on publio business should bear the burden themselves ; let tho persons who ara benefitted by the correspondence pay for it. Mr. Bale moved to amend by changing tho time to April; If it extended to the Ist of May, it would bo alter the Charleston Convention, and the Demo crats would have benefits not enjoyed by the Ilepob. llcans, who do not meet in Chicago, till June.— [Laughter.] Mr. Toombs accepted tha amendment. Ur. Simmons opposod the amendment as having been improperly introduced. If the proposition bo much grit Jt might carry itself through. Mr. Collamer said that there were special taws re. quiring tho Treasury Department to pay $700,000 to tho Post Office Department on account of free matter. If the amendment passed, those laws still existed, and the Treasury would not bo relieved. Tho subject wes one requiring preparation and ex amination, and ought to be considered by itself. Mr. Davis, of MU*.* advocated the adoption of the amendment now. They could then go and perfect system the amendment proposed: first, the re form* of an abuse; and, secondly, the change of poli cy of tho administering department. TheaStueoftht privilege was in burdening the mails with a large mass of documents. Mr. Collamer, of Vt., explained that previous to 1351 the Post Master General was limited In giving contracts by the receipts of (be department; but when 3 cent postage was established in 185 J, it was provided that the malt service should not bo reduced; the consequence was that the Pott Muter General bad unlimited discretion and could, if he chose, in crease the expenses to $20,000,000 or $30,000,000. Mr. Collamer moved on amendment repealing the aota of 1847 and 1951, appropriating $700,000 an nually for the use of the post office department. Mr. Trumbull, of Illinois,said that person j writing on business to member* of Congress could enclose stamps. He pointed pat the abuses likely to arise from the adoption of a proviso exempting members *ratu the payment or postage. Ho wanted tbo whole system wiped oat. Aft«r further debate, la nliloh Mouri.
