Mr.. Campbell has prepared his report upon II.
Tariff, which has yetto be submitted TO the Con.
approved. Ii ia said TO be a judicious and care
frIly prepared document, covering the protec.iy.
nrinciple in the main, and justifying it upon tL.
e9ronnd OF experience and policy. The recon-
mepdation will be to enlarge the free lst, and %

may be taken up early in the next.
Mr.. Puryiance endesyored to induce the House
to consider resolution for the release Of Rdgely
smith. Brown. and other citizens Of Pennsy vsnia.
now illegally imprisoned in Kansas. But the
House refused to suspend the rules, although
there was clear majority Of 36, showing at least
a strong inclination to respond.
Mr.. Cullom. the Clerk of the House has re-
turf ed to the city, though still feeble and mu,h
disabled from his serious seizure at Wilmington.
He ia however, now considered past danger
There was a general rush this morning to sus
mend the rules for the introduction Of all sorts Of
propositions. Mr.. Denver Of California who
made the report on the Pacific Railroad few
DAYS since, sought this opportunity OF reiernnsit
70 the Committee Of the Whole on the state OF
the Union under the mistaken idea tna. .ne pro,
iect would be thus advanced toward successfu
consideration. But the House, luckily for the
mover. refused TO indulge him, and when the CON-
uittee on Public Lands bring ia their bill with the
grant. il may have chance from "hich II would
have been bopelessly precluded under the other
movement.
Notwithstanding the large amount Of printing
ordered by the House at this Session, tue aggre.
gate expense will bear no comparison with that at
the last For example the cost of three pubI:a-

binding. exceed one million of dollsra The plates
for the Japan work alone SUN up near
quarter Of a million. 1t is not to be
wondered at, in the face OF such start
ling facts. that Congress should hesitate
upes almost every proposition, outside Of the
ordinary range, contemplating an outlay for
printing. Sill, it would seem hard that objects
of real MI rit should be subjected TO this sort Of
Procrustssn principle The Senate oil at once
affects grsst economy and virtue, after being the
bung bele through which millions have run out
from the Treasury. Ii is known the Library Com
mittee will report against the resolution of the
House for Or. Kane, proposing to purchase $1,000
copies Of the work on the Arctic EAPedi'ioo-a
book of more real value than the three
which absorbed million. And this will
only force so much Of that resolution as relates
to the medal proposed to be voted by Congress.
This is sniall business. When money CONSIDER

properly declined it, but was quite willing, if Con.
