In case they are detected can soon scatter

Miller, Floyd, and Triplett voted
against tho bill. II was sent TO the Sen
ate, and in half an hour came back law
and was, learn, signed by the Governor
before noon. This was a great improve
ment on the ordinary routine,
The prize brusers will now have "a
look out tor officers and the law.
The Senate substitute for bill No. II,
providing for letting the public printing
and binding, that passed the Senate about
the middle OF January, has been lying al.
most dormant in the House and In the
House Committee ever since. The com.
mlttee at one time allowed the prince Of
public printers TO move an examination
and report some amendments, which
efFectually fixes his office as about the only
one that can do any Of the State printing.
One amendment provided that all the
printing be done at tho Capital; another,
that contracts be Tor two years, instead Of
four, and another that the Attorney Cen
eral DO allowed compensation for superin-
tending the printing Of the Supreme Court
reports, all looking to the interest Of GER
tain parties who have figured lately in
some frauds" The House has shown It's
great regard for this patriot by allowing
this bill to remain quiet Tor two months,
and all this while paying old prices tor
printing.
The House Committee showed the
same adaptibility to being moulded after
the ideas Of the Public Printer in its
amendments, as it did 10 tho late report
It made on certain charges. On the 18th
inst the House went into Committee of
the Whole on these amendments, and
nearly all were voted down, and 1t soon
became clear that Walker had not calcu-
lated well on his forces. He was in tho
lobby button .holing, and trying to rally
bis friends. Davenport tried to save the
amendments, but all was no good. and the
next move was to get out Of the Commit:
tee Of the Whole, which they did, and
tried then to lay the bill on the table, but
failed. The next move was to adjourn,
which they did for the sole purpose Of
rallying, caucusing and setting" up the
matter. Long before night, at least one
hour and halfs time was lost In Dem.
ocratic CSucuslng, on something that will
enhance Walkers chances Of getting all
the public printing.
The next day the House took up the
same subject again, and every single
amendment, / believe, was adopted. Such
petty caucusing, at the States expense,
on bills Of this character, 10 en-.
hance some parties claims for the
State Printing is unbearable, and II
thetax payers could SEQ the amount Of
Jobbing that 10 carried on here, they
would feel like using Samsons weapon and
STAY any one asking favor Tor the Demo
cratic party, in the future
The printing report was made the
special order Tor March 18th st. Pat
rICk's day, and II tho House OF Delegates
will clear its skirts and the democracy
make clean breast OF 1t, the cleansing
will be equal to the banishing Of the frogs
and other reptiles from ErinS soil on that
same day, years ago.
The Senate spent some time parsing
the word "is," as it appears in the Con-
in reference TO the election and
OF officers whose appoint
ment or election Is not otherwise provld-
ed for" TART. 2 Sec. 8 President johnson |
claimed in his tilt on parsing, that the
word "is" as 1t appears above was an "ac.
tive transitive verb" and would admit OF
no other construction, He had seen Pineo
on the subject and knew that he was
right, and called on Scott to parse it, but
he replied that he did not understand
the Senate 70 be parsing school, and
that If it was he would not want any body
TO know that parsing had been so sadly
neglected in Tyler Comfy.
