Mr. BRIGHT am very sorry that the debate has

to one paper and Partially for another can say, however

that have neither prejudice Partially in this

ofthis body.
There is no force Mr. President to nay mind in the ar
gument that extending this service beyond the
wants of the eommunty each of these papers have diff
feren readers Il Is to the papers of the capital that the
public look for full and report of dongs, and
the additional expenditure resulting from selecting third
channel of communication is insignificant compared TO the
convenience and advantage resulting from IT, would be
far from appropratlng money any such object If the only

From what has been said by the honorable senator from
California, and the honorable from Alabama,
might infer that this made between the Union
and Sentinel. No such Issue intended by me. If my
resolution had proposed to the offer of the propetos
of the latter and refuse that of the former then there would
have been ground for such differences but it does
such thing 1t to avoid any such mputaion, and to
place both equal footing, believing u the time
that the public interest would be subseryed by doing that
