The exceedingly disagreeable weather, combined
with the fact that the United States Senate was not

members Of the Senate it seems. were not disposed

at play; consequently they adjourned till Monday.
When the two bodies again commence operations,
it is hoped that they will evince little deter
mination to lcgislate for the benefit of their
constituents than for different aspirants to
the Presidency. For the credit of the coun-
try, it is essential that the Senate should cease
talking, and go to acting, the Deficiency bill. Al
though there is doubt tina. many Of the bills in
Cured by army officers are exorbitantly extrava-
giant, and that much corruption has existed in this
department of the government, STILL it is he cessary
that these bills should be paid Most of those who
furnished supplies, &c, did so in good faith and
with the understanding that they would be eventu-
ally paid; and it would be extremely unjust TO de-
pryc majority of them of their rights in order to
punish the few rogues among them. The drafts
of the Quarter. Master have already been pro

members propose giving this matter the go-by until
the next session. This il not right, because it may

Almost as much excitement has, within the last
few years. been manifested Albany with regard to
the State printing, az there has been at Washington
concerning that Of the government printing. Some
days ago the AHas designated as the State
newspaper, for the publication of official advertise

State. This created Jealousy and dissatisfaction
amo1g the rival journals, from whence sprung
maAdamus to test the legality OF the selection,
which was argued yesterday. At the commence
OF the session Of the Legislature, the members
will find it greatly to the advantage of themselves,
well their constituents, if they at pass an
act foT the establishment Of State printing Office.
Such concern, properly managed, will save money
for the people and annoyance to the legislators-
