The Providence Post, the able Dem
ocratic crgan Of Rhode Island, speaking
OF the abolition of slavery in the Dis
trict Of Columbia, says:
"But it is not the policy Of Demo-
Gratis to restore or establish slavery any
where. Our motto is, hands off, We
deprecate all interference for or against
1t Ly the Federal Government. 1t is
now out Of the District of Columbia.
Let it stay out. The measure over
which the AboIitionists are so loudly
cheering, will do them and the country
10 good, and may not prove the first OF
series Of emancipation measures. We
are bird as bat If the party which las
secured this triumph, at the cost of the
Presidents honor, has not seen it's best
days. 1t will not have a minority 10
the next Congress. Mark that 1t may
be marching on with John Brown as
pioneer; but zee wouldn't like to be
marching at the same speed in the same
direction.''

Printing. reported bill authorizing the Su-
perintendent of Public Printing under the di
rcction of the Joint Committee on Printing.
to print and sell for cost, copies OF public
documents which may have been ordered by
the departments. Passed.
Mr. Powell called up the resolution direct
ing the Secretary of War to trasmt the SEN
ate the report Of Jos. Holt and Robert Dale
Owen. He said that he understood the re-
port exposed the greatest frauds upon the
Government, and he wanted il printed that il
might 60 before the country.
Mr.. Anothony moved to amend 10 the res
olution so as to request the President, IL not
incompatible with the public interest. to

lish national foundry in the hanging rock

no objection TO this bill
Mr.. Hale thought the bill did not go far
enough
He had heard and believed that the heads
Of the Departments used their places for the
grossest favotism and in some cases had or
dered contracts TO be given to their special
favorites- He would make il n penal Of
fence for the heads of Departments to order
those under them TO make contracts with

Mr.. Trumbuli moved To amend SO as to
make the bill apply to those who for any re-
ward, compensation or consideration give
