THE PUBLIC PRINTING.
DefreeS and HssfchiH.,

Ihe committee on printing Of the House
OH Tuesday resumed consideration of the
subject in relation to the management of
the government printing Office. The state
ment of Mr.. Defrees, in reply to the charge
made by Stilson Hutchins, that the Office is
conducted extravagant]y, was submitted and
read. MIR. Defrees. in answer to the charge
that the public printer employs from 1900
to 800 persons, and is allowed to employ
just as many men and women as he pleases
on such terms as he may establish, says that
he does not think the payroll ever exceeded
l,5O0 and certainly never reached anywhere
near $500. In reply to the charge that the
present public printer purchased during last
year Wal GOO worth of nonpariel type, for
which he paid 66 cents per pound, MIR. De-
frees says that only $13, 1873 worth of nom
pariel were purchased instead of $41, 900,
as asserted, and that the type-founders Of
various cities agree upon a uniform price
list, pledging themselves to adhere to it. MIR.
Defrees further says:
The government printing Office is not
political machine in any odious sense. l do
not know the politics of fifty men in the
office. have never asked man about his
political faith. I suppose that large ma.
Jority employed here are Republicans, though
I understand that there are great many
Democrats, especially in the bindery. will
frankly say, however, that If I wanted
to employ composltor, and two of equal
qualifications were to present themselves, I
should give the Republican the preference.
During long life, and with most extensive
acquaintance with Democrats, with whom
have always had and now have many per-
sonal friends, do not know one of them
that would not in my position reverse my
action, and take Democrat. have arrived
at that time of life when I cannot expect
long to have any interest in the public
printing, and I desire to put on record, for
whatever it may be worth, my opinion from
an experience in the printing business dating
back to my apprenticeship, ffty-four years
ago, that in no other way can the govern
ment printing be SO we'll, so promptly and
so economically executed as under the
present system.
MIR. Hutchins at some length responded to
this statement of Mr.. Defrees, reiterating
former charges made by him. The COM
mittee adjourned without taking anv action.

The report Of an interview with the Presi-
dent regarding the negro exodus is now said by
the Presidents friends to have been erroneous
in several particulars. For instance. the inter-
viewer desired to know definitely whether the
resident approved the proposition to go with
chartercd boats and deliver the thousands on

evening that he replied he thought the step
ought 20 be taken ~ one of justice and human.
ity. The President's information, it now ap-
Peat:, has not led him to suppose that there
are thousands of colorcd people on the banka
OF tho nver waiting for transportation. and he
did not advise the charterine and aending of
stsamboats to carry them away. Mr.. CONWAY
was authority for the statcment tcleprs phed
last night.

vaal not Zululand. Some accounts say the change
is intended to overcome the Booers-others to
guard the border. correspondent with Col.
Wood ut Kambula telegraphs under date of
the 4th inst. that he understands the scheme
for invasion will undergo important moditca-
tions: The idea of concentration on Doom
berg has been abandoned. Col. Newdisatcs's
column will concentrate some miles tu, thcr
north. Col. Woods brigade is no longer in
tended to act independently on Col Newdigate's
flank, but the two forces will amaigamate when
the invasion commences. The line Of march
will probably be along the Umvelosi river. 1t
is thought the Zulus will make a strong stand
to cover Ulunas. Probably the system Of cut
ting adrift from the base when the advance
commences will be abandoned and chain of
fortified posts be constructed as the invasion
proceeds, to which escorted conveys will con-
vey the necessary supplies. This must retard
progress. The conviction is general that the
war will be prolonged over two campaigns.

TINKERING THE TARIFF.

LONDON, May 2G.-The prohibition upon the
importation of wine and tobacco until the
second reading of the tariff bill mentioned in
Herr Beningisen's motion adopted by the
tariff commissioners of the German rcichstag,
seems merely intended a. means to enable
the government to force provincial duties.
The agricultural interests in the committee
excluded wrought iron from operation of the
bill. 1t is believed the government will insist
upon provisional duty on unwrought iron, as
this is the vital point in its programme. 1t is
also believed that the latter will be compro-
missed by rising the rye duty to three-fourths Of
. mark. A dispatch from Berlin oven mentions
the possibility of another dissolution of the

If the matter We're left to our
election we should choose to repre-
sent the Democratic party of Cali
fornia as erect, vigilant and tri-
umphant, with the people,
whom the party has always cham
pioned, Ia solid cohorts behind 1t,
guaranteeing victory, and profitlng
by the genuine Democratic SYM
pathy with the masses--a tradi-
tional and proverbial attitude upon
the part ofthe Democracy which has
won for it the name of the "Great
Unwashed." We have always had
q atender sympathy with that "greai
unwashed." We, personally, would
have adopted, cordially and enthu-
siastically, a programme which
would have given to the adult poor
the bath and to the children Of the
poor the same luxury and the high
est opportunities of education. As
q genuine Democrat, We mourn the
confusion of issues which will. in
fallibly, this year, give over Cali.
fornia to those who have
nothing in common with
the masses. These cunning ma
nipulators, assisted by the Sand
Lot, have planned their campaign
with a Machiavelian cunning.
They have rent the Democratic
party in two; and we, for one, are
not confident of the result. A united
Republican party against a divided
Democracy is not good auspice
for election results when a Gov
ernor, a Lieutenant Governor, q
whole "double header" Supreme
Court, three Railway Commission
ers, four Congressman and multi
plicity of lucrative and important
local offices, are in the back
ground. Alas and again alas! But
perhaps we are not sufficiently

German DOclors---What They are
Permitted to Charge.

Most people have heard of the
great increase in expense which
since the war has attended living
In Germany, more especially in
Berlin and other parts OF Prussia.
The advance In price has not, 1t
seems, been confined to articles OF
commerce, but has extended to
some of the fees paid in liberal pro-
fessions, and amongst them IN the
faculty of medicine. A German
doctor consulted at Frankfort, OF
even Wiesbadsn, by any belated
tourist does not, it is true, usually
frighten the patient by the magni.
tude of the fee lie demands. New
ertheless, the re remuneration, which
still strikes the Englishman as
humble, Is deemed too high by the
TeutOnic invalid, and has evoked
in some cases loud protests from
economically. disposed patients.
The matter has been brought be-.
fore the Minister of Public Wor-
ship aud Public Instruction, whose
jurisdiction comprehends in Prus-
sla the care of the medical profess
sion; and the Ministry has been
discussing the subjec. with the as.
sistarce Of all persons interested.
There was for long time q doubt
whether it would be better to inter.
fere at all, or to leave the question
of remuneration to be settled by the
natural action of the law of sup.
ply and demand. In the end, how
over, the fret Of these principles
prevailed, and the Minister hes
elaborated a proposal and submit.
ted 1t to the Council OF the Medical
Society at Berlin. According to
the Augsberg Gazette, the tariff of
fees to be legalized by this meas.

and subsequent visit at half this
