The journals of Saturday were read and con firmed. Mr. 8horter, of Alabama, presented the fol lowing resolution : Resolved, That the Committee on public lands be instructed to inquire into the pres ent condition of the public lands, lying within the limits of the Confederate States ; and alto into the'expediency of disclaiming by the Con federate States, all title or right in the same, in favor of the States respectively in which any public land may be situated ; and that tbe Committee have leave to report, by bill or otherwise, as they may deem expedient. After presenting the foregoing, Mr. Shorter said he hoped that the resolution would not excite ditcusaiou at tbe present lime. If there should be differences of opinion be did not think that it would be to any material ex- j lent. The practical question for our couside- 1 ration is, what shall be done with the publio lands? The ordinances passed by the Con ventions of Louisiana and Mississippi, have claimed for those States all the public lands lying within those States. Georgia and South Carolina arc now the only original States in this Confederacy within which there are no public lands. I trust, however, that other States may join ui at eome future day. The opinion, prevails, to a large extent that it will be the best policy to surrender to the States, in which those publio lands are situated, all such territory. As a source of revenue to the Government they cannot be relied upon. The expense of disposing of them would soon ex haust all the profits arising from their sale — Upon consultation with the Chairman of the Committee on public lands, I have deemed it expedient to introduce this resolution, In or der that the Committee may inquire into the course to adopt in reference to the public lands ; and to request them to report at their convenience. Mr. Wright, of Georgia, said the resolution offered by the gentleman from Alabama, (Mr. Shorter.)was in relation to a matter of grave importbance. and had been the subject of re flection and examination in the Committee on public lands, of which he was a member. If the resolution is submitted to the committee, he was satisfied it would receive full and care ful consideration. lie also favored the refer ence to the Committee on public lands. The resolution was accordingly referred. Mr. Chesnut, of 8. C., presented a memo rial from George Fox nnd John C. Thornton, citizens of Georgia, on the subject of patents, which he moved, without reading, should be referred to the Committee on patents. Refer red. Mr. Waul, of Texas, offered a memorial from Henry Winslow, a citizen of New Mexi co. Without being read the memorial was re ferred to the Committee on territories. Mr. Waul, also presented a communication from the President of the State Convention of Texts, which on motion was referred to the Committee on Indian affairs. Mr. Rhett, of 8. C., said he rose merely to state to Congress that the labors of the Com mittee on tbe permanent Constitution have very nearly been brought to a close. A por tion of tbe permanent Constitution had been placed in the hands of the printer a few days ago, and he hoped by Wednesday morning next to be able to lay the whole of that Con stitution before that body. The President said the next business was the consideration of (he bill in relation to pub lio printing Mr. T. R. R. Cobb expressed the desire that that bill should lie over a day os the Commit lee were desirous of having another interview with the publio printer before the bill oame up for oonsiaeratioa- The bill was accordingly postponed. Mr. Memminger presented a communication from Mr. Simpson liobo, of 8. C., offering a site for an armory. It was referred to the Committe on military affairs. On motion of Mr. Barnwell, Congress went into secret session. POSTAL RZI’ORT AND BILL. The annexed Report and Bill were adopted in secret session on the 21st of February, and •ecresy removed to day: REPORT. Mr. Chilton, from the Committee on Postal Affairs mode the following report: The Committee on Postal Affaire, having con sidered of the duties assigned them, have in structed me to submit the following report,and th* bill accompanying tbe stme. The Committee have mainly directed their enquirirs to the question whether, without ms- terial inconvenience to the public, tbe Poetof- flee Department of this Confederacy can be mode self sustaining. The Committee find, from the latest and most reliable means of information of which they have been able to avail themselves, that the excess of expenditure over the receipts of this Department in the six Staten compoeiog this Confederacy for the fiscal yearending Sfith Jane, 1859, vis $1,860,591 83. They have not been able to obtain the report of such receipts and expenditures for the last fiscal year, bit they presume the abeve tarnishes an approxi mation sufficiently accurate for the predicate of oar present action. To provide for this deficit, your Committee would suggest that the rates of postage may be increased, as proposed by tba aeoompoay- ing bill. By this bill they estimate an increase of receipts approximating $578,874 83. They believe that a saving can be effected by a change in the mode oT letting out mail contracts, adopting what is usually called “the star bid system.” Providing all due safe guards for the celerity, certainty and security of the moils, but without other restrictions as to the mode of transportation. In this way your Com mittee are satisfied that the expense of mail transportation may b# reduced 33} per cent, upon the present cost, say $6111,033. They are further of opi cion that there should be a discontinuance of numerous routes, the cost of whic)his greatly disproportioned to their convenience, and tbe receipts of tbe Postoffice* supplied by them. In this way they believe a saving of 1-10 of the present cost of trans portation may be attained, say $206,344. The service upon many of the routes may, without material detriment, be changed, daily routes reduced to trl weekly, Ac., at an esti mated reduction of, say $206,344. They would also r*oomroend the abolishing a number of minor Poetoffices which occasion considerable expense without corresponding profit or convenience. In this way a saving to the Department might bo readily secured to the amount of, say $56,000. These sums added, say by increas ed receipts on postxge rates $ 578,874 83 By saving as above indicated, to tal 1,081,721 00 Total 1,660,595 83 Present excess of expenditures over receipts 1,660.595 83 Your Committee are of opinion that steps should be immediately taken to procure post age stamps of the denomination of two, five and twenty cents; that these btsinps will be sufficient to meet the wants of the Department for the present. They would further suggest that steps should be tsken for procuring a supply of locks sod key* for tbe mail service; and for Poatoffice blanks, such as are now in use. They would further re oinmend that all the mail contracts within this Conlederscy be re- let at as early a day as practicable, and until they are re-let, the existing contracts remain of force, this Government becoming responsi bis to such contractors from tbe 8th day of Feb ruary, 1361. Your Committee are unable to suggest any plan until further arrangements shall have been made for the transmission of mail matter to aud from other governments. They believe, however, that until postal treaties can be made, expedients arising from tbe necessities of the public will teadily suggest themselves, which will, in a great measure, remedy the inconven ience. The wide spread ramifications of tbe Express Companies would furnish valuable auxiliaries lor communication beyond the Con federacy, the mail matter bearing the stamps of each government through which it may pass by said Express.
