The nwards will be included in one corlificate, and pay- ment made the board in bulk, LETTER POSTAGE, The house committes on postoffices and post rosds this morning unani- mously adopted tho report of Chair- man Bingham in favor of the passage of Ropresentative Andoraon’s biil re- ducing letter postage to two cents per half ounce, to take effect or January 1, 1884 Mr. Binghem, in his report to the house urgiog the reduction of letter pustage to two conte, gives etatistica as far back as 1792, when the rate for carrying letters was six conis for a distance of thirty miles and twenty- five cents for 450 miles. Thero 1s alco a carcful estimato based on the |am history of the past, which sustsins the theory of the report that the atim- ulus to lester wricing which would naturally bo caussd by reduotion, would grestly lessen the estimated loss of tho first year, which (aot counting euch incroaso of letters) would only reach $8,000CG) Tae entire logs, the report assumes, could be offset by a fair allowance for carry- ing mail watter of the goverament. I: 13 also estimated, shouid the reduc- tion not take place uatil January 1st 1884, as provided in the smeanded Aundsrion bill, tue surplus of the first half of that fiuancisl year would bal- ance the loss of the last half, and thero would be ample time to exhauat or cail in the printed supply of govern- ment stamped three cent onvelopes. The surplus of the postoffice depart- ment in 1882 will bs fully doubled, it is believed, in 1883. It is suggested when the loss experienced by this re- duction shall be fully made up, and when there shall again be a surplus, a reduction of postage on drop letters should be mug:. Another notable change in the bill in the omission of the amount askec for special facilities (§600,000). This means the abandonmeot of tno ‘fast mail” servica, The bill will be re- ported to the house Monday.
