Mr.. IAFLIN reported back adversely the
resolution for the printing of 25, 600 extra
copies of the Agricultural Report for 1854,
and moved that the resolution be laid on
the table. Opposition being made, he pro-
ceeded to argue in favor of the action Of the
committee, and said that so large an edition
OF this work had been printed that the
electrotypes were worn out, and that it
would be necessary to set up the types
anew. II gentlemen wanted to show any
common sense in the matter, why not order
as many copies as they wanted Of the report
of 1865. instead Of going back to 1864? Last
year $4,000 copies of the Agricultural Re
port were issued costing from S1.50 cents to
g per copy. Independent of the compost
ton, it would cost as much to print this
$4,000 copies of this work, new composition
being necessary, as it would cost S1O0, 900
for extra copies of the report of 1865. Back
numbers had already been received, and
from five to six thousand copies Of the re-
port Of 1855, st a cost Of from 81 900 to
$4,000, sum which would supply every
person in each district with copy of an
agricultural newspaper every week in the
year. 1t appeared as if members on the
other side were anxious to cause the largest
possible Government expenditures, so that
they might go before the people and charge
Congress with extrayagance. .-
