Congress met to day at noun. Prayer was
offered by Rev. Haiil Mauley.
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.
