THE PUBLIC PRNrING.-We are glad that the
subject of Public Printing is beginning TO awaken
the attention of Senators. AS Col. Young well re-
marked the other day, the printing OF many useless
documents had grown 10 great evil and II was
time to stop it. The Col should have thought Of
this years ago, when he talked so loud of retrench
ment and reform; nevertheless, it is too late
to do good.


There is particular swindle carried on in both
branches of the Legislature, which we hope the
COL will keep his eye on. We alude to the fact
that the printers have several friends in the Senate
and in the House, and hint now and then TO one
of these gentlemen that Ten times the usual number
should be printed for the benefit of the Department
is sufficient The motion is made and carried, be-
fore one half the Senate is aware of lis object.


The printing of fifteen times the usual number of
the Governors Message is a baretaced swindie-
We venture to say that one quarter OF the number
ordered printed not used by Senators-they will
not infict seven cents postage on their constituents
when nearly every one OF them has read the Mes
sage in the papers Of the day.


AS sample of the value of the printing OF so
many documents, we wish Senators to call on the
different groceries in town, and if they don't find
that they are not furnished six months out of lhe
wear with extra Senate Assembly documents
for wrapping paper, we will agree to supply the
Senate and Assembly with pop corn and pea nuts
all Winter 1t is notorious fact, and hundreds OF
our people know it 1t is not the poor printer who
is benefited by this extra number OF documents
prnted-i is the proprietors, who are making their
thousands. See 10 this reform, gentlemen.
