PRINTING.
Considerable difficulty has been experienced in
construpg the Joint resolution reducing the rates Of
public printing. but by lis express terms it to
take effect from The date OF its passage, and II to
be conceded that cannot operate upon orders for
printing which given prior 10 IFS adoption. Should
this view prevail, which have to know Ia very
probable the printing for the last will be cnarcy
exempted rum the alteration having been ordered be-
fore the resolution passed.
II has already been stated this correspondence that
the printing-which also includes paper, engraving,
lthographing binding and forh-ordered at the late
of Congress s estimated TO involve expense
government Of nearly eight hundred thousand dollars
Upon inquiring al the Office OF the Superintendent

Had this work been executed at public printing Office
saving could have been Effected TO the government
the printing Of forty per cent the cngray
ing and 30 forth thirty per cent, $40 o34 tho
binding thirty per cent $50 e4emsking in the sggrc
gate sis2 oo2 the Congressional printing alone Add
to this PROFITS the executive printing and bnding,
aud the saving by the government executing It's
work would largely exceed two hundred thousand dollars
In a single year There ia doubt that the saving
the binding shouia be Increased 10 forty per cent
In reforming the printing this branch OF the
,bographine have been overlooked The binding should
bsvc been Included with the printing in the forty per
cent bill The expenses Of the House printing ordered
appears by the above figures TO be much larger than the
Senate. but Ia should remembered that three hundred
thousand copies e the Agricultural Report aud sixty
,boasand copies OF the Mechanical Reports, In two vol
umcs were ordered by the House, but under the a~
which gave the work to Bowman, of the Senate, and not
