question and, after that question shall have h.,
tied, will concur IN all, or nearly all, the suggesoa
that have been made by the chairman OF the Commiss
on Printing More than thai When the resolution sl.

directly 10 the Committee Printing. IN relation Ia wI
shall be their duties and their powers. and in rea6o0
what shall or shall not be printed In my judgment 49,
great portion OF this work relative 10 medical se
tics, that, II contained IN il at ALL may be conpr,.I
into very few pages learn from the SuperaienSs,
OF the Board there are other portions which may ~
haps with proprlety be condensed. There are also
my judgment, deficiencies that should be suppisJ
There certainly deficiencies in reference TO he ~
ton OF the Union from which come. think NAV :,
to all the New England senators al least, and TO some
the senators from other paris Of the Unon wheIs IA,
States divided into towns, that the whole census ~
turns would be regarded very nearly useless unless ~
can have presented in them OF the cedsn. ~
States by towns Now this portion before US com.
prising the census of the Stale OF Maryland is 10 BE- 70
garded as a sample Yet il contains account onk
of the counties Senators will recolect that in some Dor
tons of the Union nearly all the power Of the STATE
vested 10 the municipal authorities OF the towns ana
without a tabular statement OF the OF the town.
would be just about useless That is not contained
this specimen.
But i have said that these questions not now beOp
us, and do not propose TO discuss them The oue
ton is upon the resolution with whatever restrictions
limitations you may place upon IT, After that resouOO
shall have passed, alter any other method for dong
this work shall have been indicated by the Senate then
think il will be most proper for the Senate 10 determine
what shall and what shall not be printed When that
period shall arrive, il other shall maj
duty, shall certainly have practical points which will
suggest, and invite the attention OF the Senate TO them
and ask their action upon them.
Mr. GWIN l know there is an impotence upon ID,
part OF the Senate to ADJOURN but wish to call the al
tenon OF the Senate the fact that next Monday We
have the resolution of the senator from Rhode Island
[Mr. CIARKE1 upon which he will address the SENATE
and he is be followed by the senator from Michigan
tMr. CAssl The senator from Illinois Mr. SHIELDS
also has the floor upon another question OF importance
and il we adjourn without coming TO vote upon Tins
subject now, will be postponng the action Of lhs
body upon this resolution TO almost indefinite period
hope therefore, that will have something approach
ing at least to test vote before we adjourn, 10 se
whether not going 10 give this printing 10 lhe,
gentlemen. We get something like test vote upon
that point now. and go into details hereafter
hope, therefore, that before the Senate adouns we will
have vote upon this subject
Mr.. PEARCE obtained the floor, but gave way 10
motion to adjourn. Whereupon,
The Senate adjourned.
