THE PuB1lo PRINTING. proprie-
toy offthis PAPER will submits proposal
to'do The publict printing. He is aware
of the fact that. politically speaking, he
has no reason to expect any favors from
the majority Of the members of the pre-
sent Assembly. But he is also of the
opinion that the public printing is
matter Of business. It is piece Of work
that tho interests of the State require
should be done as cheap rs possible. He
intends to propose to do this printing Mt
a rate as low as he can afford. It will
then be for the Legislature to decide
whether or no the contract shall be
awarded to tho lowest bidder. We thus
freely nuke this announcement, because
wo intend to make proposition in good
faith to do piece Of public work ut
living rate. Our effort may turn out to
be bootless one, but We are not aware
that there is anything in the Constitution
or laws even of this recon structed State,
to prevent the General Assembly from
deciding to pny low rather than high
price for such printing rs may be ne
ccssary.
