WASHINGTON, MAY 14,-On the 9th inst. Repre-
sentative Knott, of Kentucky, introduced bill to
provide for the election of Congressional printer.
This bill requires that the Congressional printer
shall execute the work required of him at rates
which shall be at least 10 per cent below the cost
of similar work performed at the Government
printing office last year. The Congressional printer
is to have the of the buildings and material of
the present Government Office and give bond of
$500, 900 to preserve it in its present state of
efficiency (ordinary and wear and tear
and extraordinary casualty alone excepted. No
rent or interest is to be paid by him.
The House Committee on Printing considered Mr..
Knott's bin this morning, and heard an argument
in favor of Il by Mr. Stlson Hutchins Editor of
The Washington Post, anda statement IN opposition
thereto by Mr. Defrees, the Public Printer. Mr..
Hutchins said that he advocated the bill be-
cause he believed it designed to effect large pc
cuniary saving to the Government, and to restore
to It's proper relation important branch of indus
try. He claimed that under the present system
the Public Printer is the most Hresponsl-
BILE officer under the Government, and is
at the same time intrusted with great power.
He asserted that by the introduction of business
could reduce the present expenses of public printing
at least 10 per cent without any reduction of the
wages paid employees. Mr. Hutchins entered at
length into particulars. He sad that recent pur-
chases of material by the Public Printer have been
made at eXtTavagant rates, and while he did not
charge that that officer had personally proiited by
The transactions he said he might have done So. lie
then gave in detail the why he expected tine
passage of the bill to benefit him and ali other pub
fishers IN Washington.
Mr.. Defrces submitted his views briefly i'll writ
ing simply stating that the only way to reduce eX-
penses would be by reducing the pay of the en-
poyes. In conclusion lie SAID: "Jhe pay-r0lls for
labor amount to about 81 ,000, 900 per annum. In
these hard times the person elected by the Senate
could grind down the wages of men and women en-
poyed at least 80 per cent, because they must have
bread and have no other way to obtain IL. This
would give the person selected 100000 per
annum. Deduct the 10 per cent (TlOO,OODl,
and me would receive as clear profit 100000. 1t
is for Congress TO determine whether or not tine III
terests of the Government are to Dc promoted by
such legislation"
The committee is TO hold another meeting next
Friday, when Mr.. Defrees will submit an answer TO
the charges Of extravaganza made by Mr.. Hutch
ms today and which appear to be mainly based Oh
the Finley report.

WASHINGTON, May IA prominent citizen Of
Southern Kansas who has paid careful attention to
the attempt now making by white men to invade
the Indian Territory, has just arrived in Wash
ington tie is satisfied that instead of sew
enty-fve families having moved into the
Territory as the reports to the War and

5000 persons are now there. He says that
in his opinion the authorities here deceived both
as TO the extent of the invasion and the efficacy of
the measures that have been taken to preventit. In
the southern counties of Kansas he says there
are many hundred settlers who have been for
wears waiting for the opening of the Territory and
many ofthem have been induced by the maps and
circulars that have been literally distributed to
believe that large portion Of the Territory Is free

the goal of their desires. An Independence dispatch
dated the Sth INST. says over 100 wagons passed
