Mr.. Brown offered the following resolu-
tions:
Resolred, That the Printing Committee Of
the House be and is hereby authorized TO con-
tract for the printing ordered by the Assem-
bly, with such Office or Offices as they may Sc
lect, provided that no such contract shall ex-
coed the price at present paid.
Resolred, That all resolutions or orders
adopted previous to the date Of the passage Of
these resolutions be and are hereby rescinded
Various substitutes were offered to the
above, one by Mr.. McKeeby, that the Com
mittee on Printing be authorized to negotiate
with Israel Crawford for doing the printing
until State Printer be elected. ~
Mr.. Haskell thought it unnecessary to go
into the election of a State Printer, whose
term of office might be only two or three
days.
Mr.. Bishop hoped that the substitute would
not be adopted, as in all probability State
Printer would be elected in a few days, and
said he was sorry to see disposition to force
us to employ Mr.. Crawford. The printing
for the Territorial Legislature had been re-
fcrred to, but he, as practical printer, con-
sidered it unfit for exhibition in any public
body. Both paper and ink were inferior, and
indeed it would not pay any printer to pro-
cure proper materials for 50 short time.
Mr.. Parker, as one Of the Committee on
Printing, was satisfied Mr.. Crawford had all
the material in his Office necessary for the
proper performance Of the work.
Mr.. Young moved that the name of Mr..
Crawford be stricken out.
Mr.. Bond moved to substitute after the
word Mr.. Crawford, cor any other man.
He considered that il the original substitute
was adopted, it would place it in the power
Of that gentleman to charge any price that he
pleased for printing.
Mr.. Hinckley opposed the resolution. He
thought it was not entirely the fault Of the
Carson Post that the printing had not been
done at the proper time, but that the Com
mittce on Printing were somewhat RESPONSE
BILE also for the delay.
The ayes and nays were called on the sub
stitute as follows:

The question being on the adoption Of Mr..
Browns resolutions, they we're adopted.
By leave Mr.. Lee introduced bill entitled
an Act to exclude traitors and alien enemies
from the Courts Of Justice in civil cases,
Referred to Judiciary Committee.
Mr.. Cutter requested that the consideration
of the bill introduced BY him relating to for.
eign insurance companies be made the spec
ial order for Saturday next at II o'clock.
Mr.. Parker offered the following concur
rent resolutions;
Resolred, BY the Assembly, the Senate
concurring, that hereafter, when bills are
ordered to be printed by the Assembly or
Senate, members of each branch OF the Leg
islature shall be served with copy. Adop-
ted.
10 o'clock P.
Mr.. Haskell from the Select Committee on
the State Printing bill reported the same
back with the following amendments:
81 25 for composition per 1000 ems.
81 so for figure work per 1000 ems.
80 90 for rule work per 1000 ems.
" Is for rule and figure work per 1000 ems,
81 % for presswork per token-24O impress
Sions.
81 90 for proclamations, orders, notices and
advertisements published in the State
paper, for composition per square Of 3OO
ems, and 30 cents for each subsequent
insertion. ..s.Ha..
For binding, 81 so per volume.
For blanks, 800 per thousand.
The House went into Committee Of the
Whole for consideration Of the amendments.
Mr.. Cutter moved to strike outthe amounts
proposed; that the prices we're altogether
TOO low and no printer could live on such
rates.
Mr.. Brown hoped the motion to strike out
would not prevail. A committee Of five had
been appointed to make the amendments and
to report what they considered fair and rea-
sonable prices. He was Of the opinion that
whoever might be elected State Printer under n1a
these amendments could sell out for SIC, COO.
Mr.. Lee thought the prices were altogether
too low and calculated to ruin not only the
State Printer, but the State also. We had
only to refer to the prices heretofore paid for
printing. Here was a book in his hand
printed in California by the lowest bidder,
which for 300 copies cost $1,000. The editor
Of the Virginia Union, for printing one inser-
ton In his paper, had received from the pre-
vious Legislature $1,000. He hoped the
prices would be such as would enable the
State Printer to do the work in credita6le
manner, No doubt there we're men who
would take almost anything. Mr.. Bien could
not see where the logic Of the gentlemen
came in. He, too, wanted the work done at
