PUBLIC PRINTER.
A message from the Senate announced
u resolution to the effect that the Sen

pone the election of Public Printer un-
til Thursday, February 4th.
Mr.. HEERMANS made the point that
the resolution, if adopted, merely de.
ferred the Senate's action, but said
nothing as to what the House would do.
1t was not Joint Resolution. The
resolution was amended, on motion of
Mr.. LAMB, so as to provide for the post
pOnement, by the Legislature, Of the

amended, it was passed after lengthy
discussion, in which Mr.. HEERMANS
charged the friends of Wisner with
defeating an election, preventing the
publication of the Code, and refusing
to settle the question in caucus. This
was denied by Messrs. FLICK and
! SMITH, who charged the friends OF
Frew with desire to force his election
through, without giving Wisner time
to clear himself of the grave charges
brought against him. The vote upon
the adoption of the resolution stood
yeas 40; nays II. Mr.. SMITH, of Nor.
gan, was instructed to communicate tc
the Senate the action of the House. and
