the necessary proposals and sssrrances OF better
performance OF the work.
Mr.. Cameron commended that the work had
never been done so chesply before, and that from
the very lownt OF the contract, the contractors
were reduced Of necessity 70 every expedient to
save money.
found they must lose money by it, and hence to
sAe bad bargain we are indebted for the bad
printing.
Mr. Dickinson conten ded that upon the whole
the printing was as well done as could possibly
have been expected that some &.'00,000 had been
saved In single Congress, as compared with the
expense Of the old sysIem to which he was utterly
opposed. He would hold on to the contract system,
as the best that could be devised.
Mr. Westcott was opposed TO the present system
OF huckstering and peddllng out the public worh.
He believed that the contractors had adhsIed o ~
their terms, and that # they lost 81 5000 or $1ooC
by their bargain, the loss ought 10 be maze good
Il appe AIRED further, In the debate, that the real
fault OF the bad paper was In the paper makers;
that the delay was on account oil the eng!avings.
The other charges OF Mr.. Pea'ce were aomt!ed,
but excused by Mr. Dickinson, on account OF the
Tsin0u us terms OF the contract. made without con-
shifting the increased prices OF labor and materials,
and everything here, as compared with the prices
Finally, the resolution was passed, extending
the time for receiving the bids to the l4th OF this
month. II has yet to pass the House, and in the
Meantime, we understand, the Clerk OF the House
and the Secretary OF the Senate will not open the
bids to. morrow, until some action is had by the
House on the resolution.
The object Of this movement we understand to
be to restore the public printing to the Offices of
the fntetligewcsr and Union, or the Globe, on the
old plan. But there are many members OF both
houses opposed 10 II, and we believe that the con-
tract system will go on. II required, 1t is very
easy to amend the law, so as TO secure good paper
and good and punciual printing by contract and
We hope the officers having charge of the business
will receive no bids that willnot Of themselves qua
ran,ee decent execution OF the printing. Messrs.
Wendell d. Co. have lost money by their bargain;
but we believe that If they had made even greater
Ouilays TO secure more printers and better paper,
Coperess would have been disposed to indemnify
their losses Still, they ought to be Unidentified
for the loss incurred, for Congress at any time had
the control over the work, and In neYlectlng to
correct the Deficiencies complained Of they are at
least the responsible party.
We go Tor a national printing office, the house

Mayor Swift yesterday performed most Quix-

DOR boys, who were selling the NeW York Herald

that an island in the Susquehanna, near Havre de

TExAs:--By the arrival here, yesterday, of the
steamship Galveston, Captain Crane, from Calves
ton we have received the Neys of that city to the
23d insl., inclusive. We take thence the follow
ting items OF intelligence
The steamers New Orleans, Captain Aud, and
Yacht, Captain Wilson, arrived here yesterday
from Port Lavaca. The various towns on Mata-
gorda Bay were quite healthy. General Worth
and staff were to leave Lavaca yesterday for San
Antonio, where, as we before stated, the head
quarters Of the division will be established. ~

A. M. Wlggintoa Is at the head OF the party. The
steamer Kate Ward was at Indian Point few
days ago, says the advocate, preparatory to her
entrance INTO our river.
Major O'Bren Is stationed as Quartermaster at
Port Lavaca.
The advocate apprehends that a strong effort
will be made, at the next session OF our Leglsa-
ture, TO remove the seat OF government to some
other part Of the State, probably to Huntsville

The steamboat Bilow arrived from Houston
this morning, and we regret to say that the ac-
counts represent the cholera there TO be now worse
than ever. The following extract of letter, dated
Houston, Jan. %, says the cholera has broken out
again, and am afraid 1t will be very bad, owing
to the horribly filthy condition of the city. Col.
Walton and his daughter died last night; Gen.
Bakers daughter is not expected to live. There
are good many other cases.
private funeral notice, dated yesterday. has
been handed us by a passenger, announcing the
burial of Col John II. Walton, Miss Frances Ann
Brown, and Rebecca, infant daughter of General
Mosely Baker, deceased.
The Houston Presbyterian OF the Goth INST,
states, that owing to the bad weather, they have
not had mail from the interior counties for seve-
raj days. The same paper says that little business
is now done IN that city. They have had con-
tinued rains, and the Bayou was very high, and
rising rapidly.

SERWCE.-The following orders, says the New
Orleans PiCa1une OF the 9th ut, announce the
final W ihdrawal Of Gen. Taylor from the military
service OF the country. Though called to higher
ana more responsible duties, we can readily con-
ceIve the pain 1t has cost him to sunder his con-
nection with the army. II ID more than forty
years since he received bis commission from Pre-
sdeDt Jefferson as lieutenant OF the 7rh Infantry.
Never was military career more perfect in It's
proportions. In each grade OF the service he won
honorable distinction, and the browning glory OF
his military lite was not achieved until after he
had attained by brilliant deeds the highest mill
tary rank known to our laws. Then the people
took him up, and they have placed him IN POSI-
on the grandrst theatre of action The qualities
of his mind are OF the heroic sort, which adapt
men for momeDtous issues. No shade OF distrust
dltturhs our anticipat,ons that the civil career of
Gen. Taylor will confer new splendors upon him.
