MINORITY REPORT.

Mr.. PREsrDESr.-The undersigned, minority
of the Committee on Printing, TO whom were
referred the resolutions of Mr. johnson, and
others, inquiring into the expediency of abolish
ing the Office of State Printer, and letting the
public printing to the lowest responsible bidder,
dissenting from the report of the majority OF said
Committee made last Tuesday, would respect
fully submit the following minority report:
The undersigned do not deem it necessary to
enter into a lengthy argument in urging the i'm
Dortance of observing system OF strict economy
in all the departments of the State government;
for il is lamentably true that the cousumptive
condition of the peoples pockets and of the
States exchequer, speaks more eloquently TO
the truth of that proposition, than any words
that we can use; besides. II Is proposition, by
the truth of which, all profess to be controlled;
vet. we are sorry to saw all are not so ready to
practice upon, when party requirements are
brought to bear, or party interests to be sub
served.
Considering the high-sounding professions made
before the election by the dominant party of this
State, and represented by the majority of the
committee: and remembering the declarations
made, even more recently, by the present State
Executive, that the people expect and demand
that such professions should be carried into prac
tice by this Legislature, the undersigned are as
tonished, both at the character of the majority
report anu DIV tne eAtreineiN Drlel anu euinuhaIN
manner in which the subject of State printing is
disposed of After such loud professions, and
such apparently honest promises, the undersigned
have been slow to believe that all of such profes-
sons and promises were so soon to be repudiated
| by this "retrenchment and reform Legislature, y
without even "a why or a wherefore" thus caus-
/ ing the fond expectations of the people of the
"good time coming" like the "apples of Sodom
to turn to ashes before the people have had
the pleasure of even "touching" them; nor until
the proposition which we submit with this report
shall have failed, shall we render our verdict,
that all these professions and promises were mere
inventions to cheat and humbug the people.
But, however just these general observations
NAV be, we are not disposed to drop the subject
here but will present for the consideration of the
Senate few stubborn facts as further basis for
our conclusions. By the last two annual reports
of the Auditor Of State, it is shown that the whole
amount audited for the two last fiscal years end
ing October 81, 1860, on account of State print
ing. amounts to the sum of S47 ,e6S a. With
out stopping now TO inquire whether the tariff OF
prices fixed by the law of 1859, is too high ol

state Printing Minority Report
Republican Outrage.

The Republican majority of the Senate were
guilty of very great outrage yesterday, on the
rights of the minority. The majority of the Com
mittee on Printing having made report against
the ezpediency of letting thepublic printing to the
lowest responsible bidder, the minority of said
committee, by Mr.. WOLFE, made a report in fa-
vor of that proposition, which, contrary to all
parliamentary rules or decency, the Republican
majority voted to reject, and did so reject it. BY
that high-handed outrage the majority have
shown wantonness unheard of in parliamentary
proceedings. 1t is deliberate declaration that
the minority of committee have no right to be
heard unless the report suits the majority We
append the rejected report so that the public may
Judge its character and the obvious reasons which
induced its rejection by the Republican ma
jority in the Senate:

Tx BUILT GRAPE, about which good deal has
been said within year or two, ia not now con-
sdered worthy OF cultivation by many Of the best
grape growers in the West. Al late meeting Of the
Cincinnati Horticultural Society, q sample of this
grape was exhibited by Mr.. Stcrett of Glendale,
and on motion of Mr. HEAVIER il was agreed that from
this specimen and that Of Others previously exhibited
before the Society," they deem it unworthy Of general
cultivation. Persons who have thought Of ordering
this variety for cultivation profit by this iniorma-
ton.

cold, while the amount ono year ago was under
20 600 OOOf-nearly one-third increase. IL il whis-
pered that this abundance In gold il the result Of
seiepti6c discovery, which the Emperor Napoleon
has secured the monopoly OF Gold is at the present
moment manufactured at Paris in secret manner

and though II is not known how extensively the
precious metal is produced, yet several hundred
weight OF the material are taken TO certain place
on the first OF each month. Everything is con-
conducted with the utmost secrecy. None OF the
workmen are allowed to leave, and nothing definite
can be known; but the fact that gold is produced is
beyond peradyenture. How long Napoleon III.
