These com- munications represent that no unnecessary delay occurs. During the holidays, or between the 1st of December and Ist of February, the receipts by Mail of such books and packages (which have to ‘be sent to the custom-house for apy iment) amount to from 6,000 _to 7,000.

Mr. Platt offered a resolution instructing the post-office committee to inquire whether any mail Matter addressed to Senators has been detained 1n the Washington st-oMce, and whether such de- tention has been legal or tliegal. He made an ex- Planatory statement to the effect that four hun- dred copies of a book mailed by a Connecticut ad- vertising firm to Senators and members of Con- gress, and on each of which 11 cents postage was paid, had been charged 31 cents extra postage be- cause the Words “judicious advertising agents and experts” had been printed on the wrapper, and bad not been delivered because such extra. rare Was not paid. In his = judgment the jaw did not authorize this ‘extra charge, ‘The construction put upon the law by the Post- master-General in that respect was tn his (Mr. PlatU’s) opinion not only a technical construction, but an lnproper and unjustflable construct Which had caused great distress, annoyance ai 108s Lo the business people of tne country. Mr. Saulsbury defended the action of the Post- Master-General, who had merely (he said) sent to the postmasters of the country a copy of the statute in question and let them construe it for themselves.

THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE. ‘The Speaker pro tem, laid before the House the President’s message accompanying the report of the Pacific Ratiroad Commission, MR. LAMAR CONFIRMED. A Long Contest Over his Nomination im the Senate. ‘The Senate, after three hours in secret session yesterday afternoon, confirmed the nominations of Mr, Lamar to be associate justice of the Supreme Court; Mr, Vilas to be Secretary of the Interior, Don M. Dickinson to be Postmaster General, and Gen. Bragg to be United States minister to Mexico. ‘The time was taken up in considering the nomi= nation of Mr. Lamar, There was no opposition o' delay as to the others. 1 ‘The executive session began at 1 o'clock, and the fight on Mr. Lamar was waged with bitterness, ‘There was no idea that he could be defeated, but itwas the purpose of the republicans, evidently: to emphasize their protest and get as much party capital out of the matter as possible. Riddleberger, Stewart and Stanford are under- stood to be the'only republicans who voted for cou- firmation. Otherwise the result showed a strict party vote, all the other republicans voting against Mr.’ Lamar or being paired against him, Speeches against confirmation were made by tue five republican members of the judiciary commit tee, Mr. Edmunds leading, and by senators Sher- mah, Hawley, Allison and Cullom. ‘The only Speech on the other side was by Mr. Riddieberger. The result of the vote was 32 for confirmation and 28 against. Messrs. Blackburn, Eustis, Gib- son, Hearst, Kenna, Pasco, Payne’ and Kansom were paired'with Chandler, Jones,of Nevada, Man- derson, Morrill, Sabin, Sawyer, ‘feller and Wilson, of Iowa, ‘The following 1s understood to be the vote: For confirmauion—Messrs, Bate, Beck, Berry, Blodgett, Brown, Butler, Qail. Cockrell, Coke, Colquitt, Daniel, Faulkner, George, Gorman, Gray, Hampton, Harris, Jones, of Arkansas, Mc- Pherson, Morgan, Pugh, Reagan, Kiddieberger, Saulsbury, Stanford, Stewart, Turple, Vance, Vest, Voorhees, ‘Walthall and Wilson, of Maryland—32. ‘Those Voting tn the negative ‘were—Messrs.Al- Grich, Allison, Blair, Bowen, Camerom, Chace, Cul- lom, bavis, Dawes, boiph, Hdmunds, bvarts,' Par- well, Frye, Hale, Hawley, Hiscock, Hoar, Ingalls, Mitchell, Padaock, Palmer, Platt, Plumb, Quay, Sherman, Spooner, Stockbridge—S8. THE COMMENT TO-DAY. ‘There was not much comment about the Senate to-day on the subject of the confirmation of Mr. Lamar, as the result was foreseen and surprised nobody. ‘The small number of republicans who Voted for Mr, Lamar created a feeling of disappoint ment among the latter's friends. The republican Senators are severe upon Messrs Stewart aud Stanford because of their votes. ‘They say they have no complaint or couveution to make of Mr. Riddlebeger; that he being a Southern man did Tight to vote for Mr, Lamur’s confirmation, But Messrs, Stewart and Stanford are raked fore and Aft, and some go 80 far as to intimate that there wab an agreement between them and the Presi- dent by Which the latter should deal Ienientiy with the Pacific railroads on condition of the two Senators voulng for Mr. Lamar. But this 1s re- garded as simply an emanation of disappointed Partisanship. It 1s generally conceded now that all the pressure possible to exert was brought to bear to prevent republicans from voting fur Mr. Lamar, and that the pressure succeeded in torcing several into line. THE HOUSE DISTRICT COMMITTEE. Several Measures Agreed Upon at the Meeting this Morning, The House District committee held a meeting this morning. All the members except Mr. Heard, who was occupied on the elections committee, Were present. The judiciary subcommittee was the only one ready to make a report, and they re- Ported favorably on two bills, which the whole ‘committee thereupon adopted.
