ana In credItable manner. A system which
should place the entire control of this matter in
the hands of a joint committee of the two
Houses, and which would thus obviate the ne
cesslty of bringing it before Congress, to the con-
sumption of much valuable time, would in our
Judgment relieve the subject of all embarrass-
ment, and insure the prompt and neat execution
of the public work.
We'were much gratifed by one little mani
iestatlon yesterday, though we feel that we
were perhaps unduly complimented at the ex-
pense OF our neighbor. Mr.. GIDDINos OBJ
served that he wished it to be distinctly un
derstood that the arrangement of the commit
tee would have been more acceptable to his
part of the House if it had embraced Messrs
DoNELsoN and ARMSTRONG only, and had ex-
cluded the Repubhc-which his friends repu-
dated and rejected with scorn and detestation
This was handsomer treatment than we expect
ed from MIR. GIDDINGs, and shows that he ha.
more kind feeling than we imagined. If hi
had been really malicious, he would hav,
spoken well of US.

The WILL OF THE LATE JoHS l. JAcoB.-Ths

The Public Printing.

The discussion Of the last week in the House

by recommitting Mr. GoRMAN's report to the
Committee on Printing without instructions.
Thus the matter ends where it begun, and the
debate, and the divisions in the course of it.
have been unlmporiant except in developing the
political afliniues of gentlemen on one side and
the other. The Secessionists and AboItonists
co operated with the view Of defeating the ac-
ton of the Printing Committee. This we ex
pected. We never imagined that Mr.. MANN or
Mr. .CLrNeMAS would ever give vote that might
be interpreted vote in favor Of the Republic.
1t probably never occurred to any one that
Governor BRowN OF Mr.. RANToUL would give
a vote in favor Of the Union. The antecedents
of all these parties made this apparent to every
person Of reflection. But we confess that we
were somewhat surprised, when the elements
were crystallizing into political formations, tina,
some few of our Vine friends were not quite
so apt in Selling, upon the party bearings Of
the discussion as our political opponents.
The importance of this printing question.
otherwise than in the aspect to which we have
alluded, is very inconsiderabe There are
several publishers in the United States whose
annual printing far exceeds that of either
