| beuefit ofthe printer. The other day promi-
nent member OF the Kepubiean party, MT stan
ton, declared that ne would arrange thus admln-
istration before the people TOR sxtravagance;yet
he and his friends are generally on the democra..
ic side, and found against this saiutary amend
ment. He wanted this draft on the treasury
cut off before this party shall come into power.
MIR. Cobb defended the votes OF the democrats
saying that Mr.. Haven sought to create an I'M
preston on the public mind that the Democrats
are in favor of such extra allowance, when ne
had not an inch OF ground to stand , upon. ne
could assure Mr.. Haven the responsibility rested
on the American party
Mr.. Clingman thought the printer had 'he
same right as others TO the ~ per cent, anu
that was none at all. He advocated the reduo-
ton OF tariff in order to raise only SO mueh rev.
enue as was necessary for the economical ad-
ministration OF the government.
