House. OF REPRESENTATIVES,.
AT noon the private Secretary of tho
President presented tho Message TO the
House. "a
1t was then read by the Clerk after which
Mr.. WISE moved that it be laid on the
table, and that ten thousand copies be prn-
ted.
Mr.. Mason desired to ask question.
He wished to know whether The prospec-
tus of the Congressional Globe, which he
saw appended TO the printed copy of the
Message, was intended to be included in the
motion of the gentleman from Virginia.
Mr.. WISE said his motion referred solely
to the Message sent by the President to the
Speaker of The House.
MIR. MASON then proceeded to express his
DISBURSEMENT at the prospectus OF the Con-
gre sional Globe, should have been permit
ted TO be appended 10 The printed copies of
the Message. He desired to know by what
authority Blair & Rives had committed this
outrage upon the dignity OF the House and
its proceedings.
MIR. WIsE explained that the copies Of
the Message referred to by Mr.. Mason
werenot those printed by the official prln-
tiers to the House. 1t was found that SUI
ficient number of official copies had not been
forwarded TO the House. Owing to this
the boys had procured number Of copies
printed by Messrs. Blair & Rves, who, MS
a matter of right, had added thei-api ospec-
tus. Theirs was not the official copy, and
he hoped the gentleman from Ohio was sat.
istied. Et
Some rather hard words passed between
Messrs. WISE and Mason in relation TO the
position of thePresldent.
MIR. Mason intimated that Mr.. Wtsr
was about the only gentleman who could
give an explanation in relation TO whether
TIE President had authorised Blair & Rives
TO append their prospectus or not.
Mr.. WISE complained Of the unprovoked
and wanton attack on the President. He
was not surprised at the old cry Of "per-
| fdy and treason" being again raised.
Mr.. Mason asked Mr.. WISE how it was
that Messrs. Blair & Rives came into pos
session of the manuscript Message, SO as
to have it printed as soon as the Official prin-
ter.
Mr.. WISE endeavored to show that it had
always been the custom to furnish manu-
script copies to the city press.
| Finally the motion OF Mr.. WISE prevailed.
Rules and Orders.
The resolution Of Mr.. Johnson, provi-
ding that the rules of the 26lh Congress
shall be adopted at the present session un-
til the Report of the Select Committee on
rules be disposed Of, was then called up.
| After some debate Of no interest, Mr.. J.
m )diied his resolution so as to make the
Report OF the Select Committee the special
order on and after Thursday next.
After an Intellectual attempt by MIR. Ap-
ANS 10 renew his amendment in relation TO
the 2lst rule, the resolution of Mr.. John
son was adopted-yeas 81, nays 95.
The Speaker was then authorized TO ap-

lately pu, forth:
The Richmond Enquirer declares itself in favor of a

MI Rhett Of South Carolina, followed by some half
dozen leading locos from other sections are in favor OF
raising revenue for the Federal Government by a Di
