on the subject aud least OF all had he Anticipated
that this could be made u cause for collision be-
tween the Two Houses. He regarded this Us q
simple question Of expediency and economy. The

OF the House he did not think it necessary to
publish them, as the journals were not printed I'M
Ill late in the season, and after the appointments
had been made known through the newspapers
and registers. As mnter of economy, small
though it may be- he would save the expense of
this unnecessary publication.

TO placing the journals oil this House within
the control of the Senate, ms both Houses should
control their own journals; but the question of
printing, he did not conceive ii Ia be at all embra-
