sundry brief replies to address of congratula

marked ;dcgrec, his peculiar and very, great
ability. Hespeaks precisely the thing which
the occasion requires, with a marvellous tact

reply to Mr. Lockk, related almost entirely
to himself, and formed an admirable, introduc

whichjiave been heaped upon him here, were
resented with efiect and without. anger. The

At the close of the half century, the Post
master General deems it proper to refer to-jlhe
origin," history and progress of the Post, Office
Department. This portion of the Report pos
scsscs'a peculiar interest and value.
Within the last two years, the cost of Mail
transportation has laigely increased. New con
tracts for the north-western and spnth-.wcstern
sections involved an increase of 25 per cent,
in aggregate cost, and 10.4 per cent, in service-;
.while other contracts in the Southern
section, the increased mail facilities on the
ro'iles leading from the Atlantic cities to im
portant points in the West, and upon the
Western rivers ; added to the placing of the
two steamer?, the" Franklin and Jlumbolt, on
.the New York and Havre line,, have all
contributed to entail burdens, on the revenues
of the Department. T(ic report refers, in
this connection, to the subject of compensa
ting Postmasters, and suggests the propriety
of making liberal provision for this purpose.
The .qtiestion.oi Cheap Postage is discussed
at considerable length. The - Postmaster
. General nomrinrfls thr msnUs of the svslcrn in
Great Britain with the reduced rales of lhc
United States, and bfiliovGs'thatwear'eadmon-
. 1 - r j , .,
ished by the comparison not to attempt a Hir
I iher reduction,' until it shall be justified by
i the revenue. He suggests that . the rates of
postage on all printed matter can be rendered
-r , i i l. "i
; more uniform and less complex by the adop-
, tion . of suitable rates, without diminishing the
revenue very materially.
1 J-he Special Agents, of the Department
have hcC" acti vcl? P1'" Mr Ht)be

suitable Mail arrancements for the Wcstiln-
di.cf' Suth America, and points on the Gulf

will soon fender more perfect a'rrangeriients
desirable. It is recopimendcd that' adequate
provisions be made for the payment of Mr.

, this mission. As to California and Oregon,
contracts have been executed for the residue
' of the contract term, to end on the 30th June,

The contracts with the Cunardand Collins

Both policy and humanity require that we
should endeavor to stop Indian depredations
by conciliatory measures,, instead of the ter

had the right of occupancy in. thc soil and have
extinguished their claim to tho land of pur
chase when required for use. Texas, on the
contrary, as the owner of all vacant land in
her'lfhiits, acknowledges no such right, and
has laid it off and proceeded to sell it at once
