FIXED AND CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE HOUSE. “Ami that they further report whether the com pensation ot members of Congress should be reduc ed, and w hether the tixed salaries ot officers of dhis House, and its contingent expenses, can with propriety bo diminished.” Your committee are aware of the difficulties in cident to the first branch of this resolution, as it is a subject which has often been discussed, aud upon which there is yet a great diversity of opinion.— J o all per diem compensations, there is the intrin sic objection that they are apt to produce a tenden cy to indolence and waste of time in the agents employed, whilst there are many and serious ob jections to tixed salaries, in which no time is pre scribed which shall be devoted to the discharge of the duties thus remunerated. In considering this J subject in many ol its relations, your committee have deemed the pernicious and inconvenient dura tion ci thealterr.atc long sessions of Congress,as one ot the most serious evils attending the national le gislation of the country, and visiting the heaviest expenseun the contingent luirdot the House. With a view ot reducing the duration of the first session, which* in fact, will reduce vtry essentially the a rnouut paid to members of Congress for their com pensation, they recommend that the. compensation ot the members during the first session of each Congress, be reduced to two dollars per day, from and after the first Monday in Apiil, if Congress should sit beyond lhatd.iy. IJefore the first Mon day in April, as well as during the second or short session to the iuuilh of March, they do not propose to recommend any reduction. I bis plan is founded on the basis, that 3 months 'for the second session; and -l for the first, will be | amply sufficient to do the public business, during which the lull compensation now allowed is in bo received. Hut if Congress, cither from procrasti nation, short daily sessions, or an excessive indul gence in debate, should remain in session longer than the first Monday in Apiil, then a sum not i more than sufficient to cover the absolute expense | o* subsistence, slum Id be allowed during sucir pro JOOgatlOIl O! UlH Session. \uur committee tliinh that a uniform rule' should bo established in the calculation oi tuilcag. ; that the Cashier ol the House he directed to ob tain from each of the members the name of the next post-oflicc to his residence, mid then procure from the Postmaster General an exact statement oi the distance ol that post-office from the >oat ot Government, on which, his mileage is to he com puted. We believe great abuses have taken place from the various and arbitrary manner in wliich members have sometimes estimated their mileage; not taking post routes, hut founding their calculations on the navigation of steam boats through all the sinuosities ol large and extensive rivers. They would, moreover, recommend that the accounts of each member be certified by him on honor; aud that the certificate stale that he bus deducted from his account every day on which he may have been absent from the Seat of Govern ment, during the sitting of Congress. Amt for all these put poses your committee will report a bill. As it respects the number and fixed salaries of the officers of the House, they regret that, from the short time allowed them, compared with the comprehensiveness of their labors, they should have been unable to investigate this branch ot the subject, together with the contingencies of the House, with the scrutiny they deserve. The o pinion ol the Clerk (an experienced officer) is cer tainly entitled to weight; and youi committee w ill not venture to recommend any reduc ion ol the latter, although they think, by a new di.-uihutioii and classification of the labors of the clerks, i. might be effected to perhaps a limited extent. in relation to the contingent expenses of the House, much depends on the discretion ol the Speaker of the House, and the vigilance id' the Clerk; but much more on the attention of the House to its appropriations, aud the amount of printing which may be ordered, it often happens, that Jargc documents are directed lobe punted; which in fact are altogether useless; and the evil is greatly increased, w hen numerous copies are ordered, which, in many cases, swells the profit of the printer, without the smallest benefit to the ■country. "Vour committee consider the size of the docu ments as unnecessarily large, which arises, fiist from a habit of prolixity and detail into wliich all the Departments are more or less liable to fall — more especially as a new practice has been intro duced, by the Secretaries of the Departments send ing the reports ol their clerks or heads of bureaus, ii.stoud of condensing them arid making them sub stantially their own communication; and, second ly, Irom the practice, in printing the cototiiunirn tions, of using title-pages for all of them. It the title be placed at the head ol the communication, and the priuliuifof the communication Its. If im mediately follow , an essential saving in expense of binding, as well as ti.u cost of printing, would ac crue. This, together with an altciation ol the mode of printing the figure or ruled work, by sub stituting, m many cases, the octavo lor large ta bles, would he productive of a valuable saving, for which they will report a joint resolution. Tin y moreover strongly recommend to the consideration of the House, the expediency of organizing, as one; of the Standing Committees of the House, a committee, to be entitled “ Thu Committee oil Printing," to which tin: expenditures, alterations, and reforms on this subject should be confided, together w ith a reference of every dneuint id o ver one hundred pages, communicated or reported to Congress, to report on the necessity or proprie ty ot printing it before the lloust; makes such or der. In the course of thrir examination of the print ing of the House, your committee ascertained tlt.d Messrs. Gales «V Seaton, pi intersol the JJou.-o, had deviated from the ronditions of the resolution ol Congress, of the .".,1 of March, under which they were hound, and had contracted to porform the printing. The resolution directs “ that all printing, other than rule or table work, is to he done in a small pica type, on royal paper, in pages of the same size as those of tire last edition of the Laws of the V. States, including the marginal notes.” I’y a comparison of tho size of a pa go of the documents printed hy Gales and Seaton, since th« ."d of March, I8JU, with that of the edition of the Laws of the United States referred to In the reso lution just cited, it »., found that each page ot the octavo size, small pica type, wants from Krt) to 220 cin»* of the size, of tiro page ot the edition ol the Laws of tiro U.

Messrs, (.'ales and Seaton, however contend :hat tnc Govetament lias v-iiue 1 as largely by the im proved and economical mode in which Uiey have [ ri.ught out the table woik, which your couunitteo do not lev I competent to decide. Of the default in the close printing, they feel convinced, even troiu (lie examination of the witnesses of Messrs. Gates and Seaton: whilst they are ignorant lipw far the L». States have been indemnified by the f. - Ido work; or whether the manuscript documents lion sent by the Departments do not coerce the altered mode of piloting thorn,or whether Messrs. C«dlc9 anti Seaton were not bouiu! to bring them out in the precise and economical form in which they contend they are printed. It is due to these gen tlemen to state, that the diminution of the printed page was made not by their suggestion; and Miat they wore ignorant of it, bntil informed by their foi einan that ho had effected an arrangement for such a reduction in the size of the page, with the secretary ol the Senate, and Clerk or the Housed hepresentatives. Vour Committee, desirous that justice should bo done to Messrs. Gales & Seaton, as well as to the Gutted Mates, will hereafter oiler a resolution.Ibr the appointment of three intelligent and disinter ested printers, to examine the whole of the ducu iiienls printed by Gales &. Seaton, and to report .to the House, at the nextsussiou, the precise variance between the amount of the work actually done by Messrs. Gales and Seaton, and the terms of the re solution. 1 our committee subjoin a statement from the boy..sol the I reasury, ol the total aniouut received .'V Messrs. Gales and Seaton, as printers to-Con giess, to 1827, inclusive. for the Senate £,yo G7,S 2.S tor the M. ol Meprescutativcs 182,203 12 , . $271,883.37 I h:s docs not include tho printing of the present session, winch will make the total received and receivable, by them,on 1st July', at least §325,000. I hey received last year upw ajtls c>t $72,000—a sum exceeding, by §<000, the total expense of print ing and stationery, of all the brunches of the iSvr ernment, as estimated by a committee of this Mouse, in ISID, which was computed at §65,000. Among those savings in the contingent expense* of the Mouse, which may bo called minute, thd aie valuable un the score ol example, your com* iniuec would recommend that the practice of fold ing any other documents, in the public stationer*., except Hi *se printed by order of the House, Cb prohibited; tor on enquiry they find, that for docu ments,speeches,newspapers, pamphlets, &c., afjput 501 reams, at a cost of about $2200, have been al ready used the present session. And further, that the privilege given to each member, jo subscribe, during the session of Congress, tor 3 daily papers, at the public expense,he abrogated. Independently ol this abuse, affording an evil example to the oth - er blanches of the Government, the indulgence must produce an abstraction of the attention of tho member from the business of the House. Finally,on the subject of retrenching our own expenditures, your committee would recommend, that the practice, too oft. n indulged in by the Mouse, Ot voting to themselves copies of books, in cases where extra editions have been ordered, he discon tinued; and that ail the contingent expensesJc* rigorously and inflexibly confined to such objects as may he indispensably necessary to the transac tion ot the public business, not to the luxury,.east or convenience of the members. Ami for this purpose, they propose, hereafter,re porting sundry resolutions. " .'hidfurther, that they inquire whether modification of the sinking fund act can be , U'ith u vitio of producing a morn j needy cx.lj.n-~ guishment of the public debt." 1 lie views which your coininif.fee would liiivo presented,and 'he measure which they would have recommended for (he.accomplishment of this mu-*# desirable object, have been anticipated by the bill reported, since the commencement of their labor*, by the lonuuittee ol Ways and .Means, for carrv ing certain balances at once to the credit of tlTe sinking fund, without permitting them to 'accumu late in the Hank ol the United States, producing no interest—they hav ing nothing to.r. Id to this branch ot lae enquiry, than lo suggest lor the considtra lion ot the Committee of Ways and .Moans, the propiiuty ol directing an early exchange of tiie^ix*. per cent, stork, now redeemable, and hereafter .re deemable at the pleasure ol (tie Government,Jor .en heali g aiun' ;*cst of tour and a half per cen tum. About ball the public debt consists of jsiv, per cent-., most ot which will not probably ho re deemed for .a hat ;» few years. Asa general rule, the committee would abstain from any interference with the public funds, or the circulation of .tho country; but a measure of economy may be adopt ed, in relation to the six per cents, actually re dee m aid", and for the redemption of which, the imWns of tho Treasury arc not now adequate, without,iu any manner, disturbing the currency of the coun try. I he actual (Government rate of interest, is now only I per cent/ and there is no substantial reason, vvhy vve should continue to pay, annually, six per cent, on a stock, which we may redeem at any moment wo please. If the present holders am unwilling to convert their stocks into others, bearing an interest of 1 1-2 per cent., which is.-a— , hove the current rate, your committee would rc commend, that they bo paid oil thro’ a temporary b in, redeemable at the pleasure of (iovernrnont. -Former measures of this character, before th*M» stocks vvrie actually redeemable, were attended vyith some difficulty in their execution; hut now. that they may be redeemed or not, at the option.-ei , the Government, it is for ns to say whether w will pay , from one and a half to two per cent. £\ ce-s ot inU rest, annually,on some twenty million* ol our debt. By surha measure, there would.be an annual reduction of the interest on the public: i ile t of at out $..!)(',t)00—a measure of ucountm, ' not unworthy the attention ol Congress, i In cI* ing this repot t, in which the multiplier V ! nf tile Mibj ets, conlided to vaur rotmnif(.><> F, . . . batllcd eve: y cflbrMo compress it within such Inn I its, as would have been acceptable to fticniselyc*. * 'J •“*< ‘aligning to the llou-u, (hey have siippo. .
