Mr.. FLAoLER presented petition from twenty
four Jouneymen Printers of the city of Albany,
setting forth that a. it was proposed TO apply the
principle Of retrenchment and reform to the pen

officers Of the State. In order more efectualy to
do this, it proposes that as merit and cspabity ap-
pear be secondary considerations in the selection
of these officers, that these Offices be put up at
per cent lower than the salaries at present. In
Order that the Legislature may have no fears on
the subject, they express their willingness to take
the Offices themselves. 1t: was referred to the
