THE PUBLIC PRINTING.
2 This question came up again. 1t has been
under consideration during the whole session,
ana mas Decu dIueuUtu, uhu uibciCaj -
pealed, committed and recommitted, and re-
ferred backwards and forwards between House
committees, Senate committees and Joint COM
mittees Of conference, until no two Senators
agree as to its status, and nobody understands
1t at all.
Mr.. GILARR made an able speech upon the
question, but it remained as much mixed up
ever.
Mr.. McRAE spoke also, with the same re-
suit.
Mr.. KEEN made a fiery speech, which left the
matter worse than ever.
Mr.. GILAER again took the floor and pro-
nounced glowing tribute of respect to Mr..
Goode, the present printer OF the Senate.
Messrs. GRAY, KEEN, and CABELL further
discussed it. Mr.. MITCHELL called the pre-
yious question and cut off debate.
The amendments proposed by the joint com.
mittee were adopted. The effect of the bill
will be to create the otrice of Superintendent
of Public Printing. The printer to the Senate,
however, holds his office for the two years for
which he was elected. His pay will be the
same as that allowed to other printers for the
same work. The bill makes all practical prin.
tiers eligible to the Office Of Superintendent OF
Public Printing.
