| Congressional Reporting-The Globes Re-
| ceipts.
We care nothing about the arrangements of
the Globe for Congressional reporting. Such
abridged reports as we publish of the proceed
| lngs of the two Houses we pay for, and we
have no desire to change our system. We hold
ourselves free to speak, however, of all public
matters, and as we deem it vicious system
that OF printing what was never said, and of
expunglng what has actually been uttered in
| either Hcuse-we shall take the liberty Of say
ing so, and Of repeating the remark as often as
we may think proper. If this brings upon us
the low abuse of the Globe newspaper, we have
too long regarded the scurrilous censure of that
journal as the highest praise to feel otherwise
than tlattered by it.
We have no disposition to meddle with the
affairs of our neghbors-but when those affairs
are thrust before the public, in connexion with
| unjustlfiable and malignant abuse, because Of
the fair exercise of common right of criti-
clsm, we are relieved from any feeling of i'm
| proprieiy in their discussion. The Globe has
volunteered to give the following glimpse of its
receipts and expenditure on account Of Senate
| reporting:
"The Senate takes twelve copies of the Congrcs
sto"Gl Globe and APpendir for each of its members.
These twelve copies amount to S. ,232 for short
session, and $4,464 for long one. Heretofore,
have copied the reports of the proceedings Of the
Senate. published in the Union and Intelligencer,
for which reports the editors of those papers were
each paid 81 so a column. This sum did not re-
munerate them for the expenses incurred in their
publication and the editors Of the Itsgsncer gave
notice to the Senate last spring that they would
report no more at that rate priaters' wages had
been raised twenty per cent since they contracte
to report for the Senate; and understood in No.
vember last that the editors of the Union would not
report the debates in the Senate long unless the
were paid more than 81 so column. Under
| these circumstances. have employed a full CORPS
of reporters for the Senate expecting that the Sen
| ate would pay me at least 81 so column for re-
porting it's debates II this session shall continue
as long the last one did. and Senators speak al
much as they did at that session, (and 30 far this
session they have spoken more than they did al
that.) the publication of the Senate debates alone
for this session, will cost me than $40 900. -
! We have no doubt that the original purposes
of Congress in regard to the Globe were suf
fcienty moderate. The early appropriations
were limited to rather modest subscriptions
but when it became necessary TO use this Con
grcssional Globe for the personal ends o
Messrs. BLAIR s. RIvEs, to break down Mr.
of the VAN BURrrs, BESroNs, KESDALLs, and
the crew that used to stir the devils broth il
the old Globe cnuldron-when that time ar
rived, II is curious to notice the way in which
Messrs. BLAIR & RIvEs managed to pile ur
the appropriations. We shall therefore tax,
the liberty ofcitng few memoranda from tn,
appropriation bills Of the last Congress. nm,
leave it to the "candd reader" to decide whc
ther or not there is any false suggestion in tn
paragraph which we have above cited from tn
article Of Mr.. RIvEs:
l. To enable the Clerk of the House of Re
presen,atives to pay for reporting and publish
ing in the Daily Globe 1000 columns of tn
proceedings Of the House for this session, at tn
rate Of 81 so a column, S 1000.
2. To enable, &c, to pay for binding th
Globe and .appendiS, $4,000, or so muc
thereof as may be required.
3. To enable the Clerk of the House Of Re
presentatives to pay for 5 1892 of the Congres
sional Globe and the same number of the IN
pendir, &33,4OS.
4. To enable, &C., for reporting and publish
ing 1884 columns of the proceedings Of III
House, (for the same session as above,) 81
O0l 25.
5. To enable, &c, to pay for 264 copies
the Globe and .lppendir, (for the same ses
sion,) 81 ,5S4.
So much for the amounts paid to the GloJ
for reporting at single session. Let us Sc

Our man Of ''merit and modification hs
overreached himself in his mode of stating h

more than the work was worth but, in recep
