On motion of Mr.. VosE, the reading of the
Report on Paper Credits, laid on the table
yesterday, was recommended by the Secre-

Pending the conclusion of the reading of the
report Mr.. Foster moved that a further read
ing be dispensed with. lie thought it wholly
unnecessary for the Senate to sit by the hour
and listen to the reading of the report. The
question is what besides the report shall be
printed-we want some but not all the accom-
panying documents, and thinks that COM
mittee should decide.
Mr.. VosE objected 10 a reference to a COM
mittee.
Mr.. DUDLEY hoped the report would be
read in full is satisfied that all present will
be disappointed if the reading is dispensed
with.
The question Of dispensing with the further
reading was put and lost, and the reading was
continued, and occupied one hour.
The question then required upon the mo-
ton of Mr.. CLEAvEs, that 900 copies of re-
port and documents be printed.
Mr.. Kinks thought the question should be
divided. and called for a division.
Mr.. VosE inquired if the Senate had the
authority to order the printing of paper or
report without the concurrence of the House.
Mr.. CLEAvEs, said it always had been Gus
tomary for the Senate to print such reports as
it thought At. Had never yet known Of case
where the House refused to agree to what the
Senate ordered printed.
Mr.. NEALLEY thought the Senate had
right to order the report printed.
The motion of Mr.. Kinks was carried, and
1 600 copies of the report were ordered to be
printed.
panying documents, evidence &C., be referred
to q committee of three to decide whether or
how much shall be printed.
