CHECKING THE TTBLIC PRINTER.
The Enormous Cost Of vseless Documents and
Reports.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2j.-The House Com
miitee on Public Printing has been for some
time examining the workings Of the Govern
mont printing Office and has reached the con-
clusion that all. or nearly all the abuses which
existed under Capp are in progress under De-
frees. The outline Of hill to restrain these
practices was considered this morning. II re-
duces the number Of bills and reports printed
for tho use Of Congress, and provides that pri-
vate bills shall be printed only when favorable
together and provides that all extra copies OF
documents shall be- bound only in cloth or pu-
per. 1t restricts binding IN anything int cloth
Tor any copies except those actually supplied
to Congressman. the Libraries, or Tor permanent
use in departments. II prohibits any printing
of reports or do 'umcntS 10y departments except
10y consent of the joint Cpmmitlnr on Printing
and requires Committees on Printing. when
ever they report resolutions IN favor Of printing
extra copies Of documents. 10 specify the cost.
Provisions of technical character are
made TO reduce various small leaks. The
nature II these leaks can be sc"n from u
single item in the Public Printers last re-
port. The library Of Congress has 10y
law a copy of every document and circular is
sued by the departments The presswork and
paper of these arr charged 70 the library. aud

Printer charges, Is $4,000. The cost of binding
extra copies of documents. most of which were
given away. was sl7O.OuU last year. or about
ten per cent. of the entire cost nj the Govern
m"ni printing ON e. \ very large share of II is
spent IN binding in full turkey moro SEQ reports

II is unquestionahly true that college

Tho Commodore Gone.

Commodore VANpEhBILT's whole life
showed him to be Il man Of most cXtraordi-
nary executive capacity. The inirequ. ncy
of accidents TO his ships was attributed to
his good luck but it was really owing TO
his sagacious management. He was always
careful to have sound and scaworthy vcs-
sells and experienced and capable Captains.
When, in comparative old age. Cornmo-
dorc Vanderbilt turned his attention to
railroads. his rare ability--amounting TO
genius in business matters soon made it,
self apparent in "A new field In his few re-
mainng years he accomplished what scarce
~ any other man could have done in Il life
time When he died he left the Hudson River
and Central roads in a vastly improved con-
dition as compared with that i'll which he
found them.
The alarming frequency of collisions on
the Hudson River Road Of late serves as n
painful reminder to the travelling public
that the Commodore is gone.
II has been by the mcrcst chance that
passengers have thus far escaped with their
lives. continuance of such good fortune
cannot reasonably be anticipated if the
requisite measures are not promptly taken
to run the trains with greater safety.

Russia's Losses.

Official returns state that the Russian
losses in killed and wounded during the
late war amounted to ,304 officers and
men. Among these were ten Generals
killed and eleven wounded. One Prince
of the imperial family and thirty-four
members of the higher nobility of Rus
STA fell on the field of battle. OF the
wounded, 36,s24 are already perfectly
recovered, and 10, 600 more will be able
to leave the hospitals during the next
few weeks. The proportion of killed and
wounded to the total number engaged
was very large, one out of every six men
who went into action being either in
jured or left dead on the field OF battle.
In the great actions of the late Franco
German war the proportion of killed and
wounded to the men engaged was very
nearly the same, being one-sixth in the
battles of Worth and Spicheren, and one
eighth in the battle of Mars-la-Tour.
The returns also show that one out of
every eleven wounded men received into
the Russian hospitals died from the eff
fects of the injuries received. During
the whole campaign only two men were
punished with death; one for the crime
of desertion, the other for robbery, &C
companied with violence. On the other
hand, 10000 rewards were given in the
form of decorations, promotions, or
awards of money, the Eight Corps,
which so long held and defended the
Schipka pass, receiving the greatest
proportion.

The product of the principal streams on
which the Saginaw river mills depend
for stock (the Tittabawassee and
its tributaries) aggregates 1853, $50, 900

This estimate of the product of this
