CONGRESSIONAL ANALYSIS.
SENATE.


Carolina appeared in their seats.
After the presentotion and reference
of petitions, many bills, public and private
were introduced on leave, read by spe-
cial order the second time, and returned
to appropriate committees.
Mr.. Wright grve notice that he would
on tomorrow ask leave to introduce bill
10 amend the charter of the city of Wash
ingtOn. This is subject of great i'm.
portanco 10 the people of this District,
large portion of whom are denied the
right of suffrage, because they are not
so lucky as TO possess a portion of this
worlds goods. The bill to amelioraie the
condition of the people in this important
particular, was defeated two sessions ago
in consequence ofsome omissions in en-
crossing the bill for third reading, and
by the refusal ofthe federal party TO give
their unanimous consent (Which the rule
required) to correct it in that stage ofthe
proceeding. No doubt the democratic
party at least will evscerate the odious
and unjust principle of property quail.
hcOtion contained in the old charter
The rights and interests of the District
demand it.
The resolution Of Mr.. Mangum, crea-
ting a supervisory standing committee on
printing, came up in lis order. Il pro-
posed that all questions on printing Of
documents, reports, or other matter trans.
mitted by either of the Executive De-
partments, and all memorials, petitions
accompanying documents, together with
all other matter, the printing of which
shall be moved, excepting bills origina.
ting in congress, resolutions offered by
any Senator, and motions TO print, by or
der Of the standing committees of the
Senate, Of reports, documents, or other
matters pertaining TO the subjects refer
red TO such committees by the Senqte,
shall be referred to this committee for
supervision; and to report back again 10
the Senate, sucn as they deem proper to
have printed, without delay. At the sug.
geston Of Mr.. King, Of Alabama, the
resolution was so modified as to exempt
from its operation the printing of resolu.
tions and memorials from the sovereiga
States; respect to which, demanded that
papers emanatng from their legislatures
should be printed without the supervs.
ion Of any committee of that body. The
resolution thus modified, passed. 1t
may have the tendency 10 economise in
some small degree, the expenses for
printing in that body.
