We have already had a good 'deal.of experience in this mitatter. I h11V4 lately seent at least one aticle pulishod in an organ, and editorially 'titeiaued, as posses~ing the entire oprtions of the original publication. hltl,'in fact, one half of the origintal ArtiCle which it professed to (tiote. was exctded, and the portion republished _vas turned to an entirely dibrent plir ioso froi that designed by its autho. )1h#.st part published aipparently as A NO(olb was quite uneptionable,'and thlritatdr portion. which did not alp pear,&gving an offensive elarncter to .-A alL. It remindedme of Milton's ar 1kakel, ruined, still beautitifi and in posing in the upper portiot of his, Tponu, but very much deformed about th lower extremities, [laughter.] For inyself I decline to give such papers theq:publie patronage. WXhile I ama dior payhig- to the last cent every bnan in our employ, and while I m for making a liberal allowance for that. thne-while I am unwilling that any * nan should work for nie, or the people:1 represent, or the government ,to which I belong, without a full, fair, _ lboral :and generous compensatiM, fet.1 demond that our accounts shall be stje ilii zsiness-like nmoner. I wish4o know for what we are cont* traoting. When the bargain is to to made all, the printers in the coun *ry,.slquld be iuilted to come into fair "d honorable competition. Let ihe committee receive propositions from any who may propose to do the work, and then let them decide as they may think proper, according to theimerits of the several competitors. I am in favor of the aiendilient of my :tiend from Maryland, ]Mr. Evans.] that the paper shall be furnished by the Government, and the names cf the individuals in the resolution be strick en Put. .. Mr. Gorman. Will the gentleman Ironi North Carolina allow mie for a ndtit ;That gentli1m is aware i case may be a guide for the -price in this. Now, I ask the gen tler"an from North Carolina, if he sup psoe;any committee composed of R.o~bemen, and hotnest men, who have the lettinug of thant contract, will, for the purpose of' allowing any parIty to make money for aity political pur.. pose-or any other puripo)se, imake an airrangement for this censuts printing ait *rates' above those generally paid for' the same kind of work? :a M. Venable. The gentlemtan kntows that I do not doubht the honesty antd ihtegrity of any mem2zber of that coin * hittee. .Mr.. Goiman. Theni 1 1hope the gentlejnan wvill not cotinute to insist *that thie course of' procedinig propon sed in this resolution will result in corruption. It' I stiupposedI myself capable of an action of this kind, I shoulid consider myself unworthy of' a seate in this body. ,Mr. Venable. It was nto part ofI m~y .purpose in making these reumarksm to.iimplicatte mny honora ble, galheait - f'rlih& th6 chmirman of the Couminit tee on Printing. I kinsiw that he would recoil from contamination or' the s.ts #ialcn of corrupjtion with the sen sibility of a wound--his nacture is toto -elevated, and his heart too purei~. This is also true of honorable genttlmen'i connected with himt upon that ('omi nuhttee. I have the highest coniidenice a th~em. But they are not practicaul printers. They (10 not understandg the ar't and mysteiry of' printing, and there * ore:I-.say that the contract shoujtld not be given unconditiontally to D onselson -.& Armstrong, and leav'e thecm to set their own prices. Besides, I will show that the censuis priniting no0w and that the prices oh printing and pa per are nowv greatly below the rates at the dAte of' their contract. M ur.. Gorman. If' the genitlemuatn ll..allow mre I will tell hi m that dne member of the C'ontmnittee on Vrinting, utpon the part of the Senai~te, fMr. .Eamlin,] is a practical piiiter'. .Mr. Venabl e. T'hat makes the sharlee a great deal deal bettei'. Bitt, -- as I was procedinig to 'say, I will show that the cnstus printing uinder' Blair & Rives was a very "dihl'erenit ra~the f'rorn what the Census printing Snow. We have been shown that i~t will take volumes upon volitumes te ob~mplete it; 'rTe oilice of' Stupr il'tendent prdinises to' fill the coining d ce. 1 have tiot stated, nor do inmtend to'tate, what Blair & Rives tide-by that contract. They conf'ess fua large amontt, antd it is theirs, andI fairly theirs. But if' I have made ant improvident bargain once, and did not avoid the mistake the~ next time, thean experienoe would be worthless. We learn nothing if not made more Oautious, and we repeat the same. blunder. It is best that should strike ot, the ames of the indvidluals designated from the resqolutiont. Tlhey ~, may obtain the contract if they will plerform it cheaper and better than i aty'on ouc &tt pruden.c.. d . aid that whenever thi3 larugain is isindi, that propositions should be icaivedt frorn any and all practical printers to do the inedianical work, and the Gov et'mxient furnish the paper. I ask, and I hope some gentlenan will tell me, why Donelson & Armstrong are to have this printing? I ask agaii, and I receive no ansiwer, why are they selected from all others to do this work'? What ieculiar claim have liey? A Voice. Why should t-hey notI live it? Mr. VeNtable. Why slould they have itf Tliy have n o claims uponl ine that I know of. They have hild Ine up in common wvith those with those with whom I have acted as Siuthern fiinties co-operating with Noritern Abolitionists! They have detuuiced u s in the strongest termus which they were enable of' using. elly have nit elatils up11on Zile, and I wish to let thlem know it. A course such as t his jiuminal -ins piursiee ean iever create a Clin upon tle Col fideice of those who received their denuIriations. VIlat clairis have they iore than any other porinters? Wihat inore tin Blair & Nives-m-mre thana Boyd liainilton, already ex ecutinig a Irlitious contraet .trling wit I tile eibarrassments aisilng oit of tiiat contract, and Cliinuiig tihis printing at our h s? It is a job of practical printing, and practical priintingr alone; but Boyd I lamilton is no editomr, mere iy an h1iubler ilborer it the lress. Then I sholild like to know-and the question I has not bueen answered --rom whence mill liow did this elait of Doitelmn & Armstrong originate; IM r. Speaker, I have spoken plainly, because I think plainness and candor becomning and proper. I have, with out resent inent, givel expression to the (civietions of iny understanding, aid the felinigs of iny heart. I mean to act ilndepidelitly ild without any contecahineit of* ily views.

The report of the Engineers of the Anderson Plank Road explainas so clearly the manier of buildiig such roads, that we are ind'luced to take froin it the followilg extract: The lumber used fIr planking the road iiust be of souid timber, having square edges, it must be eight feet long, ad three inches thick. The stringers niust be three inaches thick, showig live inches thee at the small end. All trees, stolps, roots and r jcks, are to he reioveil for the dis taice of* seventeen feet trorn the centre of tile road, so that inl nao ease shall either plank or striniger rest on stullp, root, or rock. All dead trees are to be removed fir the distance of'30 feet Crorn the road. 'I ie road bed is to be 2 feet wide, anid the centre raised 24 inches above tle b(t0tom1 of the side ditches. This is to be observed where no cutting or filling is reiuired. Where there .are slight inequalities ina the niatural surface of the grounid. al though the grade may he mider that refiaired; yet. they shotld be rernoved illasmauch 11 their removal will fadd greatly to the appearanle of the. roal. A ditch is to be Iorined LllI each side of' tihe road. so ats to Carry oil ill star face water to th inost colvenicut Cross sluice, or other lace of dlischlrge; said ditch is to be five feet wide at top and two at bottom, Mid the cntire slipe to be on the side next to the road bed. And such other sluices, anid lateral ditches, as inay be iveessiry to secure t;he perfect drainage of t lie road. These will be most necessary where the water will require to pass nder lie road, or from one side ditch to the other. The road will be required to be so graded. as nlot to have a greater rise than four feet in one huitdreid. The plank are to be haid on foItur string pieces. These, pieces are to be so laid, that the outer edges of tIe outer string piecessliall be five and a lalf feet apart, and each to be at equal distaniices fromt the centre tof th plank; the distance between tle outer jUid inner string pieces too be six inches. The plaik miust have a firm bearing oi the sUing plices. The otter end of ihe phink houil be one inch lower th:n the end at the celtre of the road.
