IOBRi OF MEETING.
Mr. HALE. I ask leave to introduce the fol-
lowing resolution:
ltesotred, Tlat tile hour of meetlng of the Senate be ten
o'clock in the morningtintil otherwise ordered. ,
The VICE PRESIDENT. The Chair hears
nb objection to the present consideration of the
resolution.
Mr. MASON. I dare say that may be a very
proper resolution; but I would suggest to the hon-
orable Senator that we consider it at a later hour
of the day.
Mr. HALE. Let it lie over, if it is objected
to.
Mr. MASON. I shall not object to it.
Mr. HALE. If there is no dbjection, I hope
it will be passed. -My 1bjet was to expedite
business. However, at the suggestion of Sena-
tors, let it lie over.
PACIFIC RAILROAD REPORT.
Mr. HALE. I have another resolution which
I desire to have referred to the Committee on
Printing:
Rtesoled, That the same number ofthe other volumes of
additional coptes of the eleventh volume, containing the
maps and charts of the urveys forea railroad from tle is-
sissippi river to the Pacific osean, be printed for the use of
the Senate.
I simply want to say that I hold in my hand
the eleventh volume, which contains all the maps
and charts. We have ordered the full number of
ten volumes, and a supplement to the first volume
twice the size of this; and we have only ordered
the usual number of the eleventh and last vol-
ume, which completes the set; so that there are
no extra numbers for distribution. I simply ask
the reference of the resolution to the Commitfe
on Printing.
It was so referred.
BOX RENTS, ETC.
.Mr. HALE. I have another resolution which
1 desire to offer:
Resoled, That the Postaster General be directed to an-
certain and report to the Sennte, early at the next esslon
of Congress, the number and the names of the post offices
where letters were delivered by carriors for the yearending
30th Junc,lostant; the number of letters thus delivered ot
cacti of said offices; the number of persons employed n
carriers, and their respective compensations. Also, tile
number and tile names or all tile post offices where box
rent is collected; the aggregate amount of box rent col-
lected, and tle rate per box charged at each of said post
offices respectively. That lie also ascertain and report
whether nil, and ifso, wlat, extra charge Is iaade at any
of the post offices fordepositig in time cante box letters for
tUere than one person, also, the mnaximumn ratO titls col-
looted for the rent of a single box. Tht tie also ascertain
whether preference or partiality is practised at ally Of the
post offices in distributing and delivering letters to box-
holders, andwhetherthe practice exists atanyoftlo post
offices of neglectling to delh-er letters to the persons to
whose care they may be directed; and if it does, that lie
then report the cause of such neglect.
Mr. YULEE. I object to the consideration of
that resolution.

over.
