WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.
Thu House was engaged nearly the whole day ii.
debuting questions of urdcr. Mr. Graves spoke up
on his amendment for tho appointment of n Com-
miilco to inquire and repoitns to the practicability
of (raving the printing ol tlra House, executed in n
manner more economical, and Im went into a length,
oned -lutonient of tho expanses of Congie**, mnny
ol which he contend, d wore tinnecessaiy. The pub
lic printing was executed nt a price three times ns
high ns it could be don? for on contract, nnd llraex.
cess wns given as a premium fm tho suppoit of par
ty newspapers. Mr.G. yielded tho floor to Mr. R.
G.ir-und, who asked him to accept an nnrandm- nt
providing ft.r an inquiry into tlra propriety of spun-
rating the government from the irawspnper pros*.
Mr. Graves declined, nnd Mr. Garland moved his
pio/rasiiion as nn anmndrn. lit to tho amendment.
Mr. Davi*, whoso proposition te go into the election
of a printer would bo thus cut off, objected to the
motion, as out of order. Tho Spenkerd cidcd that
it wn* in order, and hereupon urosea long and m*i
earnest debate, lasting ihreo mor u] h ur* Tha
Speaker’s decision was affirmed and the House ad
journed.
The extreme sensibili'y of the House to whatever
regards thu printing putioimte, at this -ession, arises
Ir >m iho fuel that tin- que-tinn is whether the Van
Burenmess or the H triison press, or ncilh r of
them sliull Ira susuiii.ed by tho House, during lira

offered tin ir printing estab i-hmciittn tin- House, in
case they should try tlra experiment of doing their
own printing, Mr. Wise, who lias been confined io
hi» bed for some time, hy n severe illness, has reap-
peered in thu House,and today took part in the
•lebutes.
In tho Scnnte, the hill establishing a Board of
Claim* was finally passed. Mr. Webster's resolu
lion for un inquiry into tlra means of providing by
law for lira safety of lira lives *-f passenger* in vessel*
prop.-lied In steam, was taken up nnd Mr. W. made
a number of interesting -uggestimis on tlra subject.

becoming heated nml igniting lira caring, then it was
no accident. Ho did not tl-ink that tho jurisdiction
of Congress had been adequately extended over
these subjects. The steam boat law of tlra lust
Congress hail done much good, it had rendered ex
