complaints having been made The treabury had not been raided The soldiers had been taken care of the public debt was being paid off and the country seemed to be tfe but there was always somebody to

lsrgey responsible for the delay in printing and during the last dcal year the Public Printer had disposed of a large amount cf printing ordered by previous Congresses most of it important Mr McMillan cf Tennessee declared it was the the custom of the Pabllcrrinter to print bills in the regular order of thir introduction He thought Congress was to blame for the delay in printing office because it ordered the printing of quantities of Btnff which none but a crank would write and none but a fool would read Mr Grosvenorreferring to Mr Rogers remarks suggested that that gentleman did not ngree
