The communication was then referred to the

THE PUBLIC PRINTING.
Mr.. HOUSTON, from the Committee on Ways
and Means, rose to explain why said committee
had not reported so much of the appropriation
bill as is required by law to be done within thirty
days after the commencement Of the session. Ii
was impossible, he said, for the committee to oh
tain any information upon which it could act, on
account Of the delay Of the public printer in furn-
ishing the message and accompanying documents.
il was usual for this to be done within three weeks
from the commencement of the session, and now
nearly six had elapsed. He said that the execu-
ton Of the work already furnished was much be-
low the requirements of the contract. In order
to bring the whole subject before the House, he
asked leave to 'submita resolution.
The resolution was read. Ii provided for a
comm ittee to inquire into the present condition OF
the public printing-whether the printer is not
acting in violation of his contract not only in
laton to the time Of furnishing documents, but
also as to- the quality of the work thus far furn-
ished, &c.
Mr.. STANLY objected to the reception Of the
resolution on the ground that it would involve the
House in discussion, and il was therefore not
received.

WEDNESDAY, January IA, 1876:

WEDNESDAY, January IA, 1852.
Petitions were presented by Messrs. WADE,
SEWARD, CooPER, BoRLAND, PIERCE, BRADBURY,
and BERRiEN
Several reports were made from standing COM
mttees, among them one by Mr.. FELcH, from the
Committee on Public Lands, authorizing the con-
structon Of railroads through the public lands IN
certain cases.
Mr.. HAMLIN asked that the Committee on
Commerce be discharged from the consideration
of the petition for canal around the Sault st.
Mary's. Agreed to.
On motion or Mr.. SEWARD, the Committee
on Commerce were instructed to enquire into the
facts concerning the loss of the steamer Edith In
the Pacific.
Mr.. BORLAND gave notice of several bills
granting lands for certain railroads in Arkansas
Mr.. UNDERWOOD gave notice Of bill grant
ing alternate sections Of the public lands, DC for
the construction Of railroad from Louisville,
KY, to st. Louis, Mo.
After some debate, three several resolutions
were passed. allowing a clerk each'to the Com

On motion Of Mr.. GWIN, the Senate resumed
the consideration of the petition from certain cit-
zens of the United States, in Pennsylvania, pray
ing, and urging, and pleading for the restoration
offogging in the navy, and predicting, unless 1t
is done we may look out for the most disastrous
results. The petition was read, whereupon,
Mr. MALLORY took the floor, in answer to
Mr.. STocKroN, and in opposition to his argu-
ments, and in favor Of granting the prayer Of the
petitioners, by the restoration of the lash as an
indispensable punishment in the naval service,
and as an Indispensable Of its discipline. He
reviewed the speech of the Senator from New
Jersey, at considerable length, and commended that
its premises were unsound, and its conclusions
and opinions, without oundation--that they were
not justified, neither by the past experience Of the
navy nor by the present Inconvenience of the
service, resulting from the abolition ofaogging.
When he had concluded, without furtherbusiness

My DEAR SIR have just received rely
to my note to Lord Palmerston, accompanied by
Lord Greys explanaionof the despatch to which

never intended to sanction or suggest entering
into any arrangement with regard to slaves moi
first known to and approved by the masters;
and that so far from surprising that any Ameri
can would, or could complain of the proposed
arrangement, it was believed the shareholders
would receive it with satisfaction, and join in
carrying it into effect.
1t appears that Lord Grey has been aware for
some time, that the West India Colonies aresuf'
fering for the want of an adequate supply of la
Dor. A gentleman from these colonies directed
his attention TO the fact, that there were in some
Of the slaveholding States, large number Of free
blacks, whom the whites would be glad to have
removed, and who would meet to a certain ex.

could be assured of their being removed from

He was informed that the laws forbade eman

removed, and that the expense of this prevented
persons who would otherwise euiancipate theil
slaves from doing so. But it was said meas
