Congressional Central Com mit.ee


In the discussion in the House OF Repre-.
sentatives, the other day, in regard to the
public printing, MIR. Pryor, of Virginia, said
that the President neglected his dusv in not
informing Congress that the amount appro-
pria1sd for post-office blanks was excessive.
instead OF parceling the surplus among par
tisan presses. A rnnning debate ensued be-
tween him and Burnett, in which the latter
maintained that the President had no control
OF the matter, and that il was the duty OF
Congress to correct any corruptons.
Pryor, 10 the course of his remarks, said
that the evidence was uncontroverted that
the President said to the gent who executed
the blanks, here are $50, 900 for your servi-
ces, and here are $50, 900 TO be distributed
between the Pfnnsyiranian and Argus, and
Medary's paper in Ohio.
And In response to a friendly caution from
brother Democrat net to expose the Ad-
ministration and thereby aid the Republican
party, Pryor said he was fighting on bis own
individual responsibility, and 10 defence OF
the interests OF the people. He conceived j,
sound policy that the Democrats should wash
their hands Of all corruption.
