POST OFFIOR APPROPRIATION BILL. On motion of Mr. Plumb, the Post Office appro- Priation bill, reported by him yesterday, was taken up. Mr. Plumb rose to explain some of the features of the bill. Mr. Davis, oft West Virginia, called his attention to the item of 000, “for necessary and special facilities on trunk lines of railway,” and asked an e word “trunk” ned to confine the benefit of the ap- 0 certain railroads to the exclusion of Mr. Plumb sald he woud accept any amendment which would not defeat the object of the ADPTO- priation, which was simply to keep up the existing service. Mr. Plumb explained at some length, after which the bill was considered and the amendment striking out the House provision relating to the compensation to be paid to the Pacific railroads for mail service was to. The paragraph appropriating $185,000 “for necessary and special facilities on trunk lines” gave rise to debate. r, Maxey objected to the appropriation as dis- criminating unfuirly against the rest of the coun- try for the benefit of New York city and main! for the benefit of the Metropolitan press, so call: ‘Mr. Butler said it was a mistake to say that the Yast service benefitted only New York, for there Was a fast mail to Charleston and Jacksonville Which was of great penet to that portion of the country. The debate having extented beyond the morn- ing hour, Mr. Morrill called for the regular order, the tariff bill, which was laid before the Senate. Mr. Plumb moved to postpone it ip order to pro- ceed with the Post Office appropriation bill. Mr. Sherman opposed the motion. The appro- priation bilis were farther advanced than ever be- lore at this stage of the session, and were certain to pasa.
