instance and 10 very common thing thnta senator rlses

That the manner in which the reporting done for that
paper but the speed with which the reports are got out

again. the other hand that when the public
and daily journals undertake this kind of service, days
eapse before you particle of the report and the
porers that they employ here useless far any
eossy exists for them because they may get full report
and that too, corrected by senators themselves II they Will
go 20 the columns Of the Globe. That they do there
do not age because know that the Union has Its
porers but know also that have heard the allegation
that IN many instances from the extraordinary similartes
ofhe reports they have gone there know, however
that they haye their reporters BECAUSE instance when
called for my own remarks, they handed me an accurate
report of them.
But notorious that the reports Of these papers do
up to the expectations Of this body and neet the
call for them from the public and that the reports OF the de-
bates OF he body 80 forth 10 the world through the columns
Of the Globe IL the received and recognised organ, and
the to which go for the purpose of
recng their speeches. Ii the legitimate and authorized

Whether II Is necessary, right or appropriate, thai we
should continue the publication IN the Union do not know
but satisfied that il it proper continue H. we should
continue publish the whole hem
gencer the wing organ should in, should feel
bound to that they should have their reporters upon this

/ Mr. BRIGHT. merely desire say, in reply to the
senator from Arkansas that il il my intention when the
Sentinel shall be placed upon equal footing with the other
papers, introduce resolution deyoving upon the COM
mee, of which that Is chairman the duty OF SEEK
ing systematize the reports of proceedings here
UNTIL however, the Sentinel is placed upon an equal footing
with the other papers, shall not make the notion After
the Senate shall have voted my resolution and adopted
it, as have doubt they WILL promise that will offer
resolution referring the entire subject to the Committee on
Printing! ans from what the senator says, have no doapt
| we shall get q fair report.
IL questioned whether the Union newspaper has any con-
all by which has right 10 call for pay oi course,
gentlemen will not refuse to pay for Its servces az lar as
hey have gone We know that, without any KIND OF
doubt they will be paid for whether the services are con,
racted for not but the matter ought TO be n'esS ted
and determined and they either should not be permitted 70
go ALL should be permitted to go on with power 10
draw pay Bot the question which desire % asa inc
is it, while the matter rests IN that attitude, we
should order contract to be made with the Sentinel, Will II
longer rest IN powerwi the editor SO frame the
/ contract that may dispense with the whole OF them
/ MIR. BRIGHT. 1t in the power Of the Senate TO dis
pense with all the They on the table, and
be read They at the will of the Senate and the
parties can be dismissed any time. The order Of the
Senate would dismiss them all this morning There can he
| no objection on that
/ Mr. DOUGLAS agree with what the two who
have just spoken have said think ought to put the
i Sentinel upon equal footing with the other papers do
concur the idea that should have three reporters
that corps should be under the direction OF the Globe as
that the other papers should copy their reports
from it, There would be many advantages resulting from
that IL have three corps ofreporcrs have
variance their reports and has to correct three
different copies be liable to misconstruction IN having
i wrong, unrevised copies put in circulation
4 believe therefore, that II would be the best plan to have
one corps ofreporters who would publish their reports the
morning, and then have them copied into the other po-
Of the city WIN ina H. s naa Soe o
tell gencer shall then vote for the motion OF the senator
from Indiana refer the whole subject for revision to the
Committee Printing, in order TO make such changes as
they think proper To refuse TO put own printer on an
equality with the other political papers of the city strikes
me as remarkable did vote for that printer, but am
not willing give vote here that wosd make show
nvidous distinction against him, which would seem TO be
mark of condemnation the country and especially as
democrat would do II, when we have not hesihted 10
give the same printing to Wing paper But hold that
politics have nothing do with the question. IL proper
to put equality, and then adjust the pay and duties
such az shall see proper, after the report Of
the committee has been made.
RI Mr. GWIN. IL be evident the Senate that the
proper to pursue IS 10 agree TO the motion which
have made refer the whole subject to the Committee

that committee know the fact and IT Is known to al
who have inquired into the matter that the con
dueor of the Globe losing 81 so column by the
printing Of the reports Of this body. do not make my
motion because wish 10 show any invldous distinction
against the printer of the Senate do wish 10 deprive
him any legitimate profits Of the reporting for the Senate
Mr. President, there profit IN H. IL Is notorious the
fact be disputed that the pncs we pay does not pay
the expenses Of reporting and printing. No paper IN the
country is conducted economical plan than the
Il Glote and is weknovr that the conductor Of that paper
pay his expenses and cannot expect our printer

am entirely opposed TO continue adding TO the papers
which report proceedings IL - perfectly wei
known that a losing business 10 oil the papers. The
senator from Illinois refers the inelgeneeF It's editors
get nothing from Us. They gave up their contract more
than years ago. and they have not received dollar
from aince. dunk their reporstheir abstract reports
Of proceedingsere equal to any that have seen
But am clearly Of opinion that the whole subject should

other paper print proceedings ought to ascertain
from the official report Of that committee the state
things reference the papers that hsve eeen publishing
our debates do wish throw anything IN the way
Of the printer Of the Senate His Journal well con-
Quoted paper and he should receive the patronage which
he is entitled the printer Of this body but that is

Of tho Senate. IL is not connected with the reporting at all
think the subject ought be thoroughly examined by the

item pendture the amount of which none
ticinats withdraw the instructions, but insist the
references and for the yeas and nays upon the motion.
!; Mr.. FITZPATRICK The argument ofthe senator from
Indiana would imply that had preudeed this question and
that from opposition the Sentinel that have
nerposed resistance 10 his resolution. Now It Is due to
