Mr. Butler introduced a joint resolution (which was referred to the committee on public | buildings and grounds) for the appointment of | a commission to consist of the Postmaster Gen- eral, the Secretary of the Interior and the chief of engineers of the army to select a site for @ post office buiiding for the city of Washington, and to report its action to Congress with as little delay as possible, with a plan for the building, a state- ment of cost, &c. He remarked that the existing post office ac- commodations for the eity were SIMPLY DISGRACEFUL, Mr. Vest remarked that it was not the fault of the committee on public buildings and grounds, or of the Senate, that the city had not now 4 commodious editice for a post office, but it had been impossible for the last six years to {get action in the House on bills’ passed j by the Senate for that purpose. ‘There | seemed to be such a conflict of interest in re- | gard to the location of the building that no | legislation could be had. Mr. Butler said that he was quite aware of that and was familiar with the position of the Senate on the subject. It was not his purpose in offering the resolution to reflect on the committee on public buildings and grounds nor on the Senate, jit seemed that the committees of the two houses could not agree, and therefore he sug- | be referred to that commission and something tangible would be got, on which Cougress | could act.
