THE BILLS NOT PRINTED.

The tricks devised by the veterans in Parlia-
mentary tactics to defeat bill which they are
resolved shall not pass, are complex and nu-
merous. To understand and detail them we do
not intend. We confess that we are novices in
trickery, and we are willing to remain satisfied
with practising simple honesty in political as
well as social relations. We were, however
struck by the proceedings in the House yester-
day. Bill after bill was brought up in Commit
tee of the Whole. but they could not be consd-
cred because they had not been printed. We
are not inclined to form rash judgment, but
we confess this circumstance seemed to Us lit
tie suspicious.
The fact that the bills were not printed was
sulhcient-as the circumstances showed-to en-
danger their loss when they are considered at
so late a perioI Of the session. AT all events,
if these important bills-imporlant to the Navy
should fail in being passed, the circumstance
Of their not being printed produced great waste
of time. Will our astute neighbor say, if acct
dent or design delayed the printing. We do not
wish to do him in ustce. We can, however,
say, that the accident-ifi it were accident-may
be mschlevous in It's consequences.
