On motion ot Mr. Ramsey, the Committee on Post Offices and Post Roads was discharged trom the further consideration of a petition for ageneral law on the subject of bridging the Mississippi. Mr. Brown offered a resolation, which was adopted, instracting the Committee on the Ju- diciary to inquire into the expediency of pro- viding by law for such reorganization of the civil service, especially as to the Post Office, Treasury and Interior Departments, so as to secure appointments after examination; to reg- ulate dismissals and promotion s, as ey are reguiated in the Army and Navy, tothe end that the patronage of these Debartments may not be used as a reservoir of pofitical power, ete. Mr. Brown said the substance of this resola- tion was an attempt to conform the civil ser- vice in many of its details and appointments to the regulations which Say the military service of the country. le could not hope at this late stage of the session to get any final or definite action on this subject. Mr. Stewart called up bill to regulate the occupation of the min lands, and to tend the right of pre-emption, which after ee was It was published last week.

A Pending the reading of the bill,— Mr. Sherman moved the postponement of the further consideration of the subject until the first Monday in December next. He said itinvolved an ultimate expense of six mil- lions of dollars. It was contingent also on the consent of the State of New York, and he thought that consent ought to be obtained first. Mr.Sumner inquired if Mr. Sherman thought the consent of the State of New York was ne- Bir. Sherman said it was Tequired by one of the provisions of the bill. It was a question which might give rise to a great ot de. bate. Mr. Howe speke against the postponement. This was a work which interested not New York alone, but the entire country, and there- fore Congress ought notto wait for the State Legislature of New York to take the initiative aps. Fe neped the motion to postpone would vail.
