Proceedings of To-day.

HE SENATE was not In session to-day.
In THE HOUSE, to-day, after several ineffe ctual
attempts to extend the time of debate on the bill
until to- morrow, the House went into Committee
of the Whole, aud took up the Deficiency bill
Mr.. Burnett, Of Ky, said that it is matter OF
gossip, that the printing for the two Houses OF
Congress is prolific source of corruption II is
stated that early in the session powerful combi-
nations are formed to give the printing to certain
applicants. How these things are he did not
know, but 1t is true that those who have this
work to do, have made ample fortunes i'm q short
time, and are said to he very liberal in using the
same for influencing he elections of the country
The act OF 1852 fixed the price for the public
printing, and established the Office Of n superin-
tendent OF the work. He contend,d that now
when the Committee Of Ways and Means asked
an appropriation OF nearly 81 .OOO, 600 TO pay def
ciencies In the appropriation for this work, they
should give specific statements as to the method
been expended
Mr.. b. went On to give the statistics of the cost
OF the printing, and said that the enormity of the
sum was occasioned by the printing Of the i'm
mense number of books for the Use Of the HEM
beers, and he would venture to saw that not a sim
gle member on this floor had ever looked into
many Of these works He expressed himself as
favorable to the payment for all this ssextra''
printing which has been done, but opposed 10
making appropriations to pay for this description
OF work not yet finished.
The several items in the deficiency bill wer.
examined, and with Some of the charges Mr. X
found fault and was of the opinion that the bill
can be reduced He proceeded to show what
was contained in some Of the reports, and pro.
nounced a great deal OF the matter and tn. cuts
made use Of as entirely useless
Mr.. Letcher, of Va, cond. mDed the cou,sn
pursued by some members in consuming the time
OF the committee with speeches on Kansas and
other matters not pertinent to the matter before
the committee. He proceed to explain the duties
Of committees, which in some instances have
peeh surpassed. Ii Is not the duty nor in the
power OF the committees to legislate.
He proceeded next to show whence these
schemes for extra printing originated. and that
II was by the acts of the House
Mr.. L.. enumerated several works, falling with
IN the range Of those which the gentleman from
hehtucky declared as unnecessary, but which
were ordered to be printed and in some of them

SPIRIT or THE MOR MING PRESS.

The IHteilr geHcer's editorial columns are To-
day devoted principally to the publication OF
an elaborate and interesting resume OF the
able speech delivered yesterday by Senator
Pearce upon the filibuster question. We COM
mend the distinguished Senator'S scathing ex-
posure of the lawlessness and piracy of Walk
er's schemes to such members of Congress, if
any such there be, as are inclined to give ear
to the special pleading of the flibuster press,
half essayed in behalf of the morality and pro-
priety of perpetrating murder, robbery and
arson in Central America, in the name and
ostensibly for the glory of the spread eagle Of
our nationality, and The other half in behalf of
the Tehuantepec speculation apparently
The Union is replete with able articles on
current political topics. Reviewing the recent
Kansas elections, the editor thus makes plain
the soundness of the Stars position upon the
subject OF the results of the elections in ques-
ton as induces of the popular will of the Ter
ritory relative TO the Lecompton Constitution
"Tbe two elections in Kan, as, on the 2Ist of
December lat and the It'll of January, show con-
clusively that large majority of the people of
that territory have either approved of the Le-
compton Constitution directly, or indicated their
acquieseence in il for the purpose of securing the
admission Of Kansas into the Union as a State
Al the first election 72 votes were cast directly
IN lis favor being the appai ent Democratic party
strength. At the second, held under the Consti-
tuition. about GO votes were cast by the Free
state party for their State ticket. Ii appears,
therefore, that total of 1872 voters have dis
tinctly committed themselves to the Constitution
The votes cast in favor of the Constitution In
December added to thu sc cast against il under tie
Territorial law, will represent The whole vote of
the Territory. They make a total of about sew
enteen thousand votes. A very large majority of
the Whole number have consequently committed
themselves to the constitution. 1t appears that
a majority Of the ''Free-State'' men themselves
have also exercised privileges under the Consti-
tuition. Their total strength, as shown by the
vote against the Constitutions, is 10 226-of W HON
1000 voted for State officers Whatever way the
votes are construed the conclusion is Irresistible
that the people OF Kansas desire admission into
the Cnion as State, and that they are willing to
come In under the Lecompton Constitution ~
