Tbo committee reported a series of resolutions,
which wo pubjieh below, on which there was an
animated discussion. Robert Woods, Esq., and
others, staled that the movement for the erection
of the brldgowas gotten up by oUizens and mill
owners on the south side of the river, who did
not wantJtho structure to interfere with naviga.
lion in any shape whatever. They wanted a
bridge for accommodation, built in such a way
as to bo satisfactory to all. The resolutions
were finally adopted, almost unanimously:
Whereat, a bill is now pending before the legis
lature, being an act authorizing the erection of a
bridge from the “The Point" in tbs city of Pitts
burgh, and being a modified revival of (he well
known project of the “Tripartite Bridge,” a
scheme for years past discussed, and generally
condemned, by those having an interest in the
free and unobstructed navigation of our beauti
ful rivers, as a projeot calculated to seriously in
terfere with |f not deetroy tho open navigation
or tho harbor of tho city of Pittsburgh; and
,icA<?Air,‘the bill now pending fixes the height of
said bhUietoplaled bridge at “72 feel above low
water; and (hero being at this time boats lying
al the wharf of the city of Pittsburgh with obim
neya standing 77 feet clear of the water—there
fore, be it readied,
1. That any legislation on this subjoct is no
sought for, and we most urgently protest against
any action therein,, until full and free investiga
tion is had in tho premises.
2. That those most interested aro the inhabi
tants on every foot cf ground in Western Penn
sylvania, watered by the Ohio river and its trib
utaries, : aud we again most orgently pretest
against any legislation loovilably ruinous to us,
and beneficial only to interested parties
3. That wo have an abiding faith and conn
denfce in tho decisions of tho Supreme Court of
thejUnited States, and respectfully call the at
tention of our State Legislators to;»ls derision io
the caso of Ponoo. vs Tho Wheeling and Brl
montßridge Co.
4. That wo recognize the Ohio river aud its
tributaries as national highways, and they are bo
decided by the highest trtbanalof our oouotry ;
therefore not a proper .Subject for loaal legisla
tion.
««. That wo will oppose byevery procees with
in the limits of the law, aoy infringement of our
rights as oithens of Pennsylvania, tending to
the establishment cfa 'rfecedent whlch subjects

5. That we] request not-only oar own repre

those who hate a' respect for (be righ's cf all
classes, to uSe their iofiueoco (o sustain our
rights to tho free and unobstructed waters cf the
Weal.
7. That me moot earnestly aoJ respectfully
call (he attention of our present Legislature to
the action of the Pennsylvania Legislature in
1851, in reference to (ho WbeeHog bridge, be

do burnt earnestly rcnocst onr representatives to

That la the opinion of (bis meeting, a

will be an and a nnisanco.

President of the United States, In tbe power of re

numberjof offices of trait and profit endtr the control
of the President, excluding tbe army end
including such as are under tbe control of the beads
of tho departments, and tbe amounts paid to such
offices; also, farther, to I inquire whether any power
of patronage is extended to influence the legislation
of Congroii, or any electioo in States or Territories,
and .whether any or what sums of money are paid or
required to be paid by persons bolding offices of
truitjor profit for contribution in support of elec
tions, and to inquire whetbor the power and patron*
age are used by beads ef departments over subordi
nates, mechanics and contractors; and, also, the al
lowance made to contractors of supplies, and those
employed to purchase government sites, vessels, en
gines, Ac., transportation of stores, Ac., and ropori
by bill or otherwise.
■ Mr. Iverson, from tbe Committee on Claims, re
ported several private bills, which bad been favora
bly acted on by the Court of Claims.
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.
