lerred.
Mr. Sumner offered resolution instructing the Com
mee on Commerce to inquire if further hgsation be
not necessary prevent crime on board the merchant
marine Of the United States. Agreed to.
Mr. Fitch moved that the resolution ordering the print
ing of IL 600 copies of the Agricultural Report OF the
Patent Office be taken up; which was agreed to, aud the
resolution passed
At2p. m the Senate proceeded to the consideration
of the Postal Deficiency bill
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
Mr.. Sherman moved that the House proceed to the
election Of Pripter, aud demanded the previous ques-
ton.
Mr. Stanton hoped that his colleague would withdraw
the demand for the previous question.
On motion of Mr.. Burnett there was a call Of the
House
On motion of Mr.. Hoard a resolution was adopted
that the Committee on Public Expenditures inquire into
an early day. Such notifications of the rates paid as
public Justice and a due regard to rigid economy in ex-
peudues require shall be paid and that they have pow
er to examine witnesses aud report at any time.
The House refused second the demand for the pre-
yious question-74 againt 50.
Mr. Stanton desired to pass election for the
present and giving his views for this suggestion said
he wanted the printer be elected practical man, who
has the for eVecutiLg the work Besde he wished
to avoid the possibility Of having the profits used for
corrupt purposes.
1t was known that charges had been made against the
Administration party for thus using the patronage and,
as Republican, he did not desire his party be thus
painted The price should be reduced before they elect
printer.

thought came with bad grace. He (llr Collax) de-
Tended his vote in the Thirty Fourth Congress for Mr.
Defrees aud it only after Mr. Folet had no chance
of an election that he had voted for Deirees.
Mr.. Sherman offered an amendment to his motion, to

printer be postponed till Monday next and this motion
