Mr.. MASON gave notice that he should intro

dry and asked that it be referred to the Committee
on Military Affairs. era g&
The resolution was received
Mr.. HUNTER called up the special order of the
day, which was the deficiency bill. The part OF
the bill under consideration was the amendment OF
MIR. WELLER in relation to the engraving, placing
it in some cases under the direction and control
of the Secretary of War. @ S
Mr.. JOHNSON opposed this amendment. He
thought there were laws enough to provide for all
the printing and engraving. But not proposition
to print was made without a proposition to put
that job under somebody's management other than
the Superintendent of the Public Printing who
was appointed to attend to that business.
Mr. BRODHEAD thought the Superintendent OF
Public Printing had too much labor imposed upon
him, and too much power also and that, in this
instance, it would be hard indeed If the Secretary
of War could not have the direction Of the engra-
wing to illustrate report made under his superin-
tendence. fs
Mr. WELLER should persist in the amendment.
as he thought that the Typographical Engineers
could do more to insure the accuracy Of the en-
craving than could the Superintendent of Public
Printing. All he wished was that the engraving
should be done in such manner as would satisfy
the Secretary of War .as.s as7 h

!, The PuhIic Prinfinr.

In the Senate, yesterday, Mr.. Hunter moved to
smend the Deficiency bin by inserting as follows
ITO supply the deficiency for printing and pa
per ordered at the first session Of the 33d Con-
gress $57,l73." "
And further
To supply deficiency for printing of the first
session of the 34th Congress arising under the joint
resolution approved 9th February, 1856, s244,-
1873 95."
+ Here is an amount of $500, 900 called for, tn adj
ditioa to the large sums already appropriated for
that purpose. a5 \
We are happy to learn that the amendment OF
Mr.. Hunter was opposed by Senators, and was not
brought to vote yesterday. The subject viii
probably come up again to-day.
We trust that there are some Senators who will
have nerve enough to demand an investigation
into the causes of this enormous expenditure. The
whole amount appropriated for the printing of both
houses few years ago, did not exceed $500, 600,
yet Congress is now called upon to make an extra
appropriation to that amount. There surely must
be some mismanagement in this matter
In connexion with this subject, Mr.. Weller ask
ed for an appropriation of $4,000 for engraving
the maps of the Pacific Railway explorations Is
not this an enormous charge for such purpose?
Mr.. Seaman, the Superintendent of Printing is
also Superintendent of Engraving. Should II not
be ascertained, before Mr.. Weller's amendment is
adopted, whether the maps of the Pacific Railway
survey cannot be engraved for less than S49,0oog
A few days ago Mr.. Seaman gave out the engra-
wing of the Senate to Mr.. Ackerman, OF New York,
at prices much higher than those for which a re.
sponsible party in this city offered to perform it.
Very likely this 1000 is included in Ackernan's
contract. And it may be that Ackerman charges
suce anenormous price, because he is compelled to
pay somebody 26 or 80 per cent of his gross eceipts
We have heard of such things being done in
Washington under the present Administrations II
so, somebody" is evidently some pumpkins" in
looking after hi. own interest. But whether
somebody's interests and Uncle Sam s interests
are identical is another question, which we leave
for Congress to decide. sa

The ADMINISTRATORS and It's Overwhelm-
ing PopularityII

Tho Washington Union regularly discourses
upon the popularity of the administration, and
republishes from other stipendisry presses the
most extravagaut laudations Of the President,
in the hope Of cffecting the double purpose of
securing the denomination Of General Pierce
by the Cincinnati Convention, and Of cheating
unthinking people into the belief that the ad
ministraion is really entitled to, and has re-
ceiveds the appreciation of the country. @
In point Of fact, there has been no admins.
tration since that Of the elder Adams, in which
the people Of the United States have been 50
greatly disappointed, as in that Of franklin
Pierce. Indeed, that of John Adams was, al
it's close far less unpopular than the present
is now. Even the enemies Of that slandered
and abused ex-President John Tyler, admit
that his administration has been made illus.
trious by a comparison with that of Franklin
Pierce Lea
Nevertheless, such is the magical influence
of Treasury pap, there are found by 0athori-
ty" presses, and pensioned politicians, who
loudly proclaim the popularity Of this present
administration, and the immaculate purity oil
it's dandy chief The spruce-looking, neatly
combed, d,-sweet-scented gentleman, who now
presides over the destinies of this great nation,
and wields its executive power, can hardly be
made hin,ss!f to credit the statements, his well
paid adherents present through the column,
of his selected papers, if he will compare tn,
results of the State elections Of 1854 and 1856,
with the Presidential election Of 1852, by which
he was elevated to his present position I,

Hon, Andrew Stewart on the 18th instant, Al
Uniontown, Pennsylvania, tho following stats
tical comparison of votes given in 1852 and in
the years 1854 and 1855, which will be found
exceedingly interesting to all American citi

why Mr.. Fillmore is Popular

The reason why Mr. Fillmore has so strong n
hold upon the affections and confidence of the con-
servative elements Of the country is undoubtedly
to be found in the fact, that he has followed the
illustrious example of Clay and Webster, and ever
proved himself to be national man. The Worr
cester Egis, an old-fashioned Wing iournal in Mas
sachusetts, which declines to commit itself as yet
to any candidates, thinks the Influences which
produced Mr. Fillmore's nomination were various
and speaks OF them as follows: ,'.t
1t is worthy ofremark that the advocates and
supporters of Mr. Fillmore in the States which were
but a few years since the scene of secession and
disunion9c conventions, have always been the oppo.
nents of secession and disunion-the journals that
have held up his fame have ever teemed with pa
triotic union expression, and the politicians, who
have stumped in his name, have invariably been
the defenders of our national integrity against the
assaults of fre-eaters and Southern-rights men.
The truth s, though 1t is unpaatabic enough to
the old Free-soil communion and the modern Re-
publican phalanstery, MilIard Fillmore has place
in the hearts of the conservative South for the
same reason that he has place in the hearts OF
the conservative North m ae 8
He has been known as public man through
conservative mediums his history shows no bend
ing to section but continual worship of the whole
country, his pslitica action has never been iadefi
mite but always practical, his political tastes have
ever been for such honorable measures as enure to
the prosperity and the durability of the nation
With platform or without platform, no section
of the republic would fear Mr.. Fillmore's admins.

Now, in our judgment, a loss of about six
hundred thousand votes by the administration
IN less than three years-being about three
times the majority which Gen. Pierce received
over Gen. Scott in l852--is not very fiatterinp

above calculation, is near half million Of

There cannot be the slightest doubt that If

and Pierce, the popular majority for Fillmore
would approach a million of votes. We are
aware that 1t is at this time supposed a third
candidate may be put in nomination-4and. if
SO, the popular majority against the admins
tration would be divided, and the result Of the
electoral vote would be rendered uncertain.
We hold it however, to be entirely out Of the
question that Gen. Pierce or any other anti

BLACK REPUBLIcANIsM"- The Boston Times
winds up powerful article upon " Black Repub-
canisin," with the following statement that nobody
can gansay. We call to it the particular attention
Of the few Wings who hesitating about support
ing Mr.. Fillmore:
Repubcanism goes in for Democracy, and is
and will be its best ally. It prefers Mr. Pierce or
Mr.. Buchanan to Mr. Fillmore just as it did Mr..
Polk to Mr.. Clay. 1t is true that it keeps up a
great blaze of warfare against the Democratic party
but that is all sham. It is done to build itself up
and get possession of local spoils 1t pretends to
have great regard for Kansas and freedom but it
takes very precious care that Kansas shall remais
where It s, as professional beggars take care that
their children shall remain ragged and sore, and
distressed as their capital In trade, to make sym-
pathy. Take the sore and sickly infant that il
beaten daily till il bleeds, from the arms of the
mendicant mother and restore it to health and
cleanliness, and you viii take away the whole stock
IN trade of the begging vagabonds So take away
Kansas from Republicanism and make IL free, and
its vocation will be gone. No, no; that would
never do. When Whitfield, Border Ruffian'
and Reeder, Free State came up before the
House of Representatives, the principle was sur
rendered at once, by allowing the Border Ruffian
to take his seat without resistance"
