It requests the President of the United States to cause correspondence and negotiations to be had through the debt of state or otherwise with the authorities of the kingdom of Great Britain for the purpose of severing the abrogation or modification of the regulations now enforced by said authorities, which require cattle imported into Great Britain from the United States of America to be slaughtered at the port of entry, and prohibit- ing the same from being carricd alive to other places in said kingdom.

CANADAY. The republican Senators held a caucus last evening to choose asuccessor to Sergeant-at- Arms W. P. Canaday, who has handed in his resignation, to take effect June 30. The lead- ing candidates for the place were E.K. Valen- tine of Nebraska and Silas M. Bailey of Penn- sylvania, Mr, Bailey was the candidate of Sen- ator Quay, while Mr. Valentine controlled most of the strength of the west, led by the Senators from his own state. There were forty Senators present at the caucus. ‘The candidates put in nomination were Valentine of Nebraska, Bailey of Pennsylvania, Reade of Maine, Reed of Min- nesota, Swords of Louisiana, Byington of Con- necticut, Wilson of Montana, and Dunn of Dela- ware, The votes on the first ballot were scat- tered widely, but on the second the strength of the leading ’ candidates was concentrated, and Mr. Valentine receiving 23 votes to Mr. Bailey's 13 was declared the choice of the caucus, FAILING CONTRACTOR CONVICTED A Check Put Upon a Growing Evil in the Star Koute Service. Second Assistant Postmaster General Whit- ficld has received information that the crimi- nal action instituted under section 803, postal laws and regulations, 1887, as provided in sec- tion 3954, Revised Statutes, amended by act of August 11, 1876, against W. A. Stod- dard, failing contractor, has resulted in his conviction in the United States court at Portland, Me. This is the first case on record where a conviction has been secured in the case of a failing contractor and it is believed that the result will be to correct a great and growing evil in the postal serv- ice. Competition has become so close, owing to the large number of professional contractors engaged in carrying the mails on star routes, that in many cases there is only a few dollars’ difference between the lowest bid and the one next above it. Under the system of compromises for actual dam- ages, which was the difference between the lowest bid and the next lowest plus the cost of temporary service, which had grown up in the department, it was more advantageous to fail and pay this difference than to perform the service or employ a subcontractor when the professional found that he had a contract, Applications for compromises of this char- acter have been adversely reported upon by Col. Whitfield, who has been fully sustained by the Postmaster General upon = peal. In addition to insisting upon sum of the bond as the meas- ure of damages, suit was brought under the penal statute, and the Bet i conviction will no doubt tend to correct at once and finally an evil that had threatened to practi- cally disorganize the star service.
