Mr. RAMSEY. I move to take up Senate bill No. 527. The motion was agreed to; and the Senate, as in ComWhole, proceeded to consider the bill (S.No.527) to amend the postal laws, and for other purposes. It proposes to modify the schedule of charges or fees for issuing postal money orders established by the 3rd section of the act approved June 12, 1866, so that the charge or fee for an order not exceeding ten dollars is to be ten cents; for an order of more than ten, but not exceeding 30 dollars, the charge is to be 15 cents, and for an order exceeding 30 dollars a fee of 25 cents is to be charged; and the compensation of deputy postmasters for the payment of money orders is to be increased from one 8th to one 4th of 1%. on the gross amount Jof orders paid at their respective offices. In case of the loss of a money order a duplicate is to be issued by the superintendent of the money order office, without charge, on the application of the remitter or payee of the origi nal, provided the applicant furnish a certificate from the postmaster on whom it was drawn that it had not been and would not thereafter be paid, and a similar certificate from the postmaster by whom it was issued that it had not been and would not be repaid to the purchasor; and a 2nd fee is not to be charged for a duplicate money order issued to replace an order that has been rendered invalid because of non-presentation for payment within one year after its date or because of illegal indorsements. If any person shall falsely forge or counter feit, or willingly aid, assist, or abet in falsely forging or counterfeiting, or shall procure, directly or indirectly, to be falsely forged or counterfeited any postal money order, or any material signature or indorsement to any postal money order issued by the postoffice.ment or any of its agents, for the purpose and with the intent of obtaining or receiving, directly or indirectly, or of procuring or enabling others to obtain or receive, directly or indirectly, any sum or sums of money, and thereby to defraud either the U.S or any person of such sum or sums of money, or any part thereof, or shall pass, utter, or publish, or attempt to pass, utter, or publish, as true, any such forged or counterfeited postal money order, with intent to defraud either the U.S or any person of any sum or sums of money, knowing such postal money order or any signature or indorsement thereon to be so falsely forged or counterfeited, every such person is to be deemed guilty of felony, and being duly convicted is to be sentenced to be imprisoned and kept at hard labor for a period of not less than 2 years nor more than 5 years, and to be fined in a sum not exceeding $5,000. The PostMGenl is authorized to appoint in his Dept a superintendent of foreign mails at an annual salary of $3,000, and one additional clerk of class 4 for that branch of the postal service. The PostMGenl is also authorized to appoint in the office of the 3rd Asssistant PostMGenl a superintendent of dead letters, at an annual salary of $2,000. The PostMGenl is also authorized too in the bureau of the 2nd Asst PostMGenl a superintendent of domestic mails and a superintendent of inspection, who, with the chief clerks of the 3 bureaus and the topographer of the postoffice Dept, are each to receive a salary of $2, 500 per annum; also, to appoint an additional clerk, to be in charge of mail bags, locks and keys, at a salary of $2,000 per annum, and an asst topographer at a salary of $1, 800 per annum.
