The election fell through for the day, as the
day was exhausted in the debate; but from an.
intermediate vote upon . motion to adjourn--53

poor Pryor in the matter of thesa printing
spoils of the State government of Virginia. We
advise him accordingly, to go at onae to Wash
ington and demand his right toa share and
share all round with Messrs Steedman, Banks,
Harris, Wendell Il Co., in the printing plumber
of Congress. In this connection, after all that
Mr.. Pryor has done and suffered for Mr.. Hun
ter and Southern rights, we sAould think that
Mr.. Hunter ought to be able and ready to do
something for Mr.. Pryor, on behalf Of that
greatest of all Southern rights-the right to the
spoih. Go to Washington Mr.. Pryor, and put
in your claim.

PUBLIC PRINTING CoRRUPTIoNs-A FAMILY
BREEZE IN RIcBNoND.-It seems that Mr. Roger
A. Pryor, with the success of his factotum, Mr.
Banks, at Washington, as a joint stock candi-
date for the printing Of the House, has been en-
bodened TO make dash for the State printing
of Virginia. But as this movement involves the
ousting Of Mr.. Richie, the anointed successor
for life Of good old Father Richie, the first de-
monstration against him has stirred up quite
lively little breeze between the Wise and Hun

make treaty with Mexico to put down
those hordes of savages, many Of them going

that will do more to hasten our national ad-
