The cost of print ing it comes out of the treasury of the United States, and reaches a sum annually of considerable magnitude. Of course such aTeqord is necessary, and. it should be printed, -and should be. full enough;;to'give the" people a pretty, correct idea of the sayings and doings in the legislative halls of their representatives.: But there is a fear. ful amount of nonsense." and stuff worse than nonsense, worked into it sometimes, matter in which no human being besides the inventor of it is in terested. A gentleman rises to a .privilege question, he.makes a speech about , some personal matter, which calls for a rejoinder, followed by an other speech and anothorv possibly a dozen in all, every bit of which goes iuto the record and into the hands of the printer to be set in typ4 and .is then printed, never to , be read, ' not even by the members of Congress for whose special benefit they are printed. f all the nonsense that has been thus printed were bound in: volumes they would be appalling in size and noms ber. There is another abuse of the Record which should be abated. It has been m existence for' years. Every member cannot always get the floor when a question is under debate. and every member does; not want to get the floor. There ' are some mem bers who never want to get it. But they want to make their constituents believe "they are very faithful, and zealous guardians of the interests of those to whose votes they ; are in debted for the seats they hold. Not all the members can write, speeches, and many of those who can writeare too lazy1 " or too' much occupied ;with other matters to wade through recs ords of facts and statistics, to prepare speeches.' ' But there are tneq in Washington who make a business of writing speeches, on any and ail subjects,' which they furnish to mem bers desiring them at a stated price. generally a very .', small -one, and armed with: this speech, the gentle man comes to the front when the question on which he wishes-to im mortalize himself comes up-, and with the excuse that circumstances pres vent him from delivering his remarks in full, asks permission to ha.ve them printed I in the Beford, which, as a matter of eouriesy and usage,' is granted. And in it goes, a speech that he himself probably only giaced oyer, and nobody ever heard deliv ered. Another member makes a few random remarks, and asks privilege to revise his speech for publication, when these few random remarks are spun out into columns. Thus hun dreds of speeches are printed that were never delivered nor . composed by the presumed deliverers, and hun dreds of others spun out into, .mraeu..: lous length not for any effect they tflay have on issues pending! but for home consumption, for buncombe, go to speak. This is a. fraud.. It is an tnpoitiQn. on the constituents of the embers who engage in it,' and , it is an imposition on the people at large to draw money from the treasury of the United States to pay for the printing of speeches simply for indi vidua! benefit. ; The Record should be a record of actual doings and sayings, not a lumber room. ' 1 It Is said, while en; Grant refuses to be put upon the pension roll he would noi object to. being placed upon the retired list. But a difflculty pr&r sentq itself n tb,e event such a meas ure " nassed Congress. The same reason which influenced the Presi dent to : veto the bill placing Fitz John Porter on the reared list wduld estop him from approving a bill plao - jng Grant upon it, as the same prin oipleis involved He claimed -that Congress nad no constitutional right to name to the executive any parties ular person for any particular-office, and hence he vetoed the FV?5 .
