On motion Of Mr.. GoRMAN, the House pro-
ceeded TO consider the bill yesterday reported
from the Committee on Printing, proposing the
election Of public printer, the abolition of the
contract system, and the rates to be paid for the
printing Of Congress.
Mr.. GORMAN explained the bill, stating that
IL repealed the contract system, provided for the
election Of public printer, and fixed the prices,
the government to buy the paper In conclusion,
he said that the prices had heretofore been dis
cussed, the merits Of printing bureau, of elect
ing printer, and If buying the paper, had also
been discussed. Believing that the subject was
well unders stood, he moved the previous question.
Many gentlemen appealed to Mr. @. to with
draw the demand for the previous question, but he
declined.
The House then refused to secote the demand
for the previous question.
Mr.. JENKINS submitted a substitute for the
bill, and moved that it be printed and postponed
until tomorrow.
After good deal Of confusion and some con-
versation, the motion Of Mr.. JENKINS was agreed

numbers and pecunay resources should be such as to
secure one worthy Of the Institution. Hitherto this
has not been the case; though the convenisnces and
economies of such an establishment begin to appear
necessary The industrial operations carried on in

About the time of meeting of the Wing
National Convention in 1913, Hon. Truman Smith
wrote to Gen. Scott, stating that either Henry
Clay, MIR. Webster, Judge Mclean, Gen. Taylor,
or Gen. Scott would probably be nominated for
the Presidency and inquring, among other
things, whether in case Gen. Taylor should be
nominated, he (Gen. Scott) would support him.
Here is the reply;
