OLYMPIC - “Wew Yerk, Thursday, January 30, 1951, Congressional Doings. The jrincipal businese that engaged the atten-" tion of the House of Representatives yesterday, was the amendment to the deficiency appropriation bill, providing for an increase of the tariff on certain articles. After considerable debate, the amend- ment was declered to be ont of order, and on the deewion of the Chair being appealed from . was sustamed by a vote of 102 to 87. Ths looks as if the House bad no inclination to take up the tariff qnestion during the present session. itis very likely, hewever, that the subject will be brought up agein, im some other shape, before the adjournment. An amentment was also offered, making appropriations Other States 7. New York .. 8. New Jersey 480,3 9. Pennsylvania « 2. 250,000 10. Delaware 90, 11. Maryland... 576,150 12. Virginia. 1,428,863 13.

There is | rect, wili be about 95,447; and those States having no use in stating any arguments in favor of it. | the largest fractions, when the population is cor- ure concerned, far, in advance of the material which is sold in London under the name of milk. In fact, it has been analyzed, and found to be poison. The public are thankful to Mr. Kingsland for what he has already done, and they will cen- tinue to support and encourage him in discharging his duties fearlessly; but if he wishes to be remem- bered with gratitude by not only the present ge- neration, but that which will succeed it, he will, if he can, have the distillery dairies abated as nuisances. What is the reason that some of our enter- prising capitalists do not go into the milk business? They would find it much more profitable than building houses on speculation, or dabbling in stocks, to be fleeced by the philosophers of Wall street. In the euburbs of all the large cities in Europe, there are vast dairies which eupply pure milk to the inhabitants. Why have we not such things here ? There is a wide field for such an un. dertaking. Let a milk association be established in which the people would have confidence, and we feel certain that, before ten years, every man connected with it would make a fortune. Milk is indispeneable to every family. The demand for it is great and constant. The price does not fluctuate, and the profits, though small, are steady, and can be counted upon toa certainty. Who will be the firstto move? Who will start an association with acapital of $200,000 to supply New York with wholesome milk? A fortune awaits the man who will do it, as well as the blessings of parents. City Intelligence. oan the | Argument has been long since exhausted, and the necessity of having such an institution here, is admitted by all whose opinion is worth anything. The postage reform bill was taken up in the Senate yesterday. The committee to whom it was referred reported amendments to the effect that three cents shall be the rate on pre-paid letters, and five cents on all unpaid letters. This would never do, and ws are glad to hear that there is some prospect of the Senate adopting a uni- form rate of two cents and a half. This would agree with the popular desire on the subject, much more than the three and five cent rates. We made, some days since, all the remarks which we deemed requisite upon the new postage law, which has passed the House of Representatives, and is now before the Senate; but we had not seen anything more than a synopsis of the law. The sixth section of the act, which 1s, throughout, the most awkward piece of rhetorical composition we have seen for many a day, runs as annexed :— Apd be it further enacted, That liste of letters re- maining wneailed for in any post office for the space of two weeks, in any city, town. or village, where a news- peper shall be printed shall hersefter be published ones only in & newspaper. which, being issued as fre- uently a¢ any other, shail bare the t ctroule ton within the range of delivery of eald to be decided by the Postmaster General. under regu- lations as sbaii escribed by bim, at a charge not ceeding three cente on each letter called fer.

Provided. ot any per herein spec: tere as provided in this seetion, the postmaster shail derignpate some other paper ion list shall be | Ah publisher. #0 retasing, aball be d Of all the benefite of this act, and the free ex- | now provided by law So, if we may judge by the phraseology of this remarkable piece of legislation, publishers of news- papers were in a fair way of being made the suffer- ere by this regulation. Tom, Dick, or Harry, might send three or four thousand letters to the nobodies of his imagination, merely for the sake of punish- img some publisher who may have displeased bim—for, if the government will only pay three eents for advertising each letter “ called for,” it is quite evident that the publisher may have to do the ebief part of the public advertising, without pa ment. He may obtain three dollars for publish: five hundred names, as it is quite possible that only one bundred out of the five may, as the law terms it, be called for. This, however, is not the chief | objection to thie section of the act. We are op | posed in principle to any such punishment as the se: contemplates. No man should be forced to publich a liet of lett or anything else, for the | government, upon any such threat for a refusal, | as the leet two lines of the section hold out. It is something quite new in legislation, and one of the most remakable things in this most remarkably Oa the whole, we think the only good bill is the reduction of leter postage three cents, and we are pleased to fiad that the Senate have cut out this sixth section.

The result of the com- mission is anxiously looked for; and as thie is a matter which ought to concern the United States as much as it does England, we shall give a few particulars showing the immense advantages that | can be gained by the proposed cvange. The distance from New York to Liverpool, by | the nearest sailing route, is 3,100 miles. | From Halifax to Geiway 4240 miles. . 2515 “ severe s SOM © It will appear, therefore, that the difference be- tween Halifex and Galway, and New York and Liverpool, is eight hundred and sixty miles, or three days eailing for a first rate steamship. Now, we have a continuous line of telegraph between New York and Halifax, and this distance would be saved, as faras communication is con- cerned A similar saving would be made oa the otherside. By meansof an electric telegraph, com- munications between Galway and Londoa would be instantaneous. New York and London would therefore be within twenty-two hundred and forty miles of each other, a distance which in ordinary weather, a first cla amship would perform in But this is notall. A railroad is be- ing constructed between Galway and Dublin, which will be opened for travel during the coming spring. The distance is 120 miles. From Dublin to Holy head, the distance is seme sixty-three miles, which passengers could go in a few hours; and from Ho- lyhead to London, the distance by railroad is in the neighborhood of 263 miles. A great many people would prefer this route to going to Liverpool direct | from New York by steamship, for they would have the opportunity of seeyng @ great deal of ireland and England, which is the main object of many who | The most important part of the \ cross the Atlantic propored change, however, is the facility with which news could be speedily transmitted between the ceyitel of Er gland, Londo ind the tal of Americ New York.

Many go on pleasure alone, vod during the time they appoint to remain abroad they wieh io eee ae much as theyean. By making Galway @ pocket etation, they could see a great deal of both England and Ireland, and when they reached London they could proceed at once to the continent. Weare strongly of the opinion that, before many year, thie project of shortening the time of communication between New York and Liverpoo! and London will be carried out. busi that it would pay to send merchandise, | SENSATION IN WALL STREET—EXTENSIVE DEFALCA- TION OF @NE OF THE BROKERS. ‘There was e sensation in Wall street yesterday after- noon. At the second board of brokers, quite an ex- citement broke in upon the usual routine of business, by the announcement that one of the members of the beard bad disappeared, after certain extenmve opera- tions in the morning, the details of which are such as to cause considerable surprise throughout the city, where the person in question has hitherto borue an exemplary character. On the diffusion of the startling intelligence, several brokers who bad delivered and received stocks from Lim, hurried away, with all possible rapidity, to their offices, to learn the nature and extent of their losses.

The mode adopted was not an Unusual one, as it bas been practind frequently be- fore in Wall street. The party purchased about 500 Erie Railroad shares? 400 Farmers’ Loanjand 800 Reading, which were paid for in his checks on the Merchants’4* ange Bank, The stocks were then re-transferred to other houses we checks he received, and converted them inte bank notes; since which time the party has not been heard from, nor have his checks been pad at the bank. It would net be en inappropriate time to re- mark that in all cases of defalcation of brokers than have ever occurred in Wall street, not an instance has ercome to our knowledge of any one broker who had been brought up # clerk in any house, to whom @ rimilar imputation could be attached.
