Telenraptilt?American Matters. the b'nai B'RTTH?MARINE disaster ? foboed CHECKS?THE president on louisiana?earthquake, ao., ao. Washington, January 25.?T?e fol? lowing may be confidently scoop tod as reflecting the views of the President upon the Louisiana and kindred ques? tions: Aoting in accordance with tiro consti? tutional requirements that the President shall, from time to time, give Congress information of the stats of the Union, ho Is now engaged in the preparation of a message, which he will submit to the Cabinet before transmitting it to Con? gress. This mesHago will, according to the present understanding, be confined to a plain but elaborate etatement of the facts attouding the Federal proceedings in Louisiana in support of the United States jodi oiarl decisions whiob he had no authority to disregard.'whatever may have been his own opinion upon the po? litical questions affected by them. It is positively known that the President has not interfered, in any way, w.?h the question relating to tha seats either in the Senate or the House of Representa? tives of the Louisianiana of both par? ties who have called upon him. fie haa repeatedly said that suoh questions pro? perly belong to Gongrees, the Constitu? tion making each house'the judgo of the election returns and qualifications of its own member*, and that tha considera? tion oi snah questions-involve the sub? ject of the legality of the authority under which tho certificates of eleetions I issue, so the one question necessarily affects the other, and both could at the earns time bo determined. This, in substance, is the reply he has unreserv? edly given to those who have interro? gated him on the subject of a bill pro? posed to be patsed by Congress, order? ing a now election io Louisiana. He has discouraged .such legislation, and, while thus opposing Congressional in? terference, he has had no hesitation in saying to j visitors that there was no doubt that the late election in Louisiana was an organized fraud, from beginning to ond, for the benefit of those now in possession of the government of that State, and that there has never yet been a fair count of tho votes, the results having been reached by dishonest menus too well known to be repeated. It is, therefore, not probablo that tho Presi? dent will, on his forthcoming special message, make any recommendation for A now election, his 'opinion, as recently privately expressed, being that Congress has no more right to order a new elec? tion in Louisiana than' it has in any other State because of local conflict, ull these States being equal in the Union, and, as such, outitlod to the same gene? ral promotion from illegal or uncousti Itutional interference by any branch of the Federal Government as they are against invasion or domestio violence. Besides, there are means to settle the Louisiana and all kindred oases, with? out resort to Congressional action or or? dering a new election. Senator Thurman disavows any for? mal consultation with Messrs. Carpenter and Butler over the new election bill for Louisiana. Neither has the Senator any knowledge of how tbe Democrats will vote. The proposod, bill is similar to Carpenter's of last session, with the exception ' that, instead of having the election conducted by registrars ap? pointed by Judge Wood, it shall bo ma? naged by a Congressional commission or by military oflieera. This point, as well aB tho fact of the bill, is in great doubt,'though it is known that tho Pre i sident, if the new eleotion must occur, I prefers that it should be conducted [under the Federal executive auspices.

Tho Speaker prcseutcd Ihu following communication: To TnB Honorable tub House of Representatives: Tup undersigned re? spectfully beg ieuve to submit the lol lowiug: First. That by the rules of their re? spective bouses, as well in by tin Act approved January 23, 1871, they urn charged with the prompt aud accurate execution of the public priuliug. Second. That circumstances over which they bad no control rendered it imperatively necessary for them to ob tain an interest in, and finally take sole charge of, a printing establishment, for the purpose of carrying on successfully the work ordered by tho General As? sembly. Third. That in view of the nature of the work, the supremo importance of its accurate execution and prompt deli? very, they are compelled to employ tho very best workmen. Fourth. That tho question of color has never boen raised, aud no colored printer over having applied for a posi? tion or employmoht iu tho establish? ment, no necessity existed for in.iking a test ciibo as to whether a colored printer can bo admitted into the membership ol the Typographical Union of this city, i FrFTH. That tho contract has been faithfully observed and the work well and faithfully executed, under the most difficult circumstances. Sixth. That they tiro not responsible for the amount of printing ordered, nor its cost?particularly tho latter?owing to the peculiar uncertainties of pay-1 ments from tho State Treasury, tho lie- j quent necessity to negotiate claims at | less than half their face value, and tho high rato of interest charged (sometimes from fivo to ten per cent, per month) for small accommodations, and other j causes which we deem it unnecessary to bring to tho attoutiou of your bonorubio ' body. Seventh. That tboy believe, in order to show tho injustice of the ' complaints aud statements mado relative to appro? priations for printing, it is simply neces? sary to call your attention to u oommu-, nioation from tbe Republican Priuting Company to the General Assembly, ! made t? yo'nVh'orKifa^ the amount of work outside o( the legis lativo printing ordered by the General Assembly at the sessions of 1870-71, 1871-72, to wit: Fivo volumes of the Statutes of the State, Tic: Volumes X, XI, XLT, -XIII,. Xty-, 8.60Q copies of the Revised or General Statutes, 5,000 copies Ku Klux Trials, 6,000 copies (extra) reports of Special Joint, Investigating Committee, two volumes Supreme Court Decisions, 1,000 extra copies of reporis aud resolutions of the General Assembly of 1871-72, various books and documents ordered by the exeontivo departments. That communication, in conclusion, makes the following statement:' "On tbe adjournment of the lastj General Assembly, they wore advised by] the late Stato Treasurer (Hon. N. G. J Parker) to close the establishment, as there were no funds in tbo treasury to' pay printing claim::, und not likely toj bo; but tbe printers did not acoept nor not upon this advice, und have conti? nued tbo work, believing that therepro-j scutatives of tho peoplo will make pro? vision for tbo payment of tboir olaims." Eighth. That subsequently a "joint j resolution to make appropriation for expenses of printing ordored by the' General Assembly during the regular' sessions of 1870-71, 1871-72," was in? troduced, appropriating the Bum o( S250.00J for payment of tho claims of the Republican Printing Compauy, and $75,000 for claims of the various news? papers. That this resolution was re* forred to tbe Committeo on Printing, who reported it back, with a recom? mendation "that tbe resolution do puss; that it was afterwards referred to the Committeo on Ways and Means of your honorablo body, who, after "u most careful and laborious investigation of tho accounts, vouchers, &o'., and the Acts under which the work was or? dered," roported back the resolution, with tho same recommendation as that of tho Committee on Printing, to wit, "that tbe resolution do pass." Tbe Committee also say, in their report, "that they have good reason to believe that the Printing Committee has been obliged to raise, money at high rates of interest, in order to carry on the work iu question, through tho failure of tbe Stato to meet its engagements with the company. It would seem, therefore, 'hat a cose is t-hus made for the exercise of a souse of justice towards said credi? tor. In this aspect of the ease, the Committee respectfully repeat their re? commendation that the joint resolution do pass. "(Signed,) "J. A. BOWLEY, Ch'n, "J. D. BOSTON, "And others." | Ninth. That the appropriation of 3250,000 was mostly for the work here? inbefore mentioned, and was almost wholly absorbed in the payment of tbo then existing debts of the company; and that from the further sum of $100, 000 appropriated for tbe current and permanent printing of the session ol 1872-73, not ono dollar may be said to have boen received by tho company un? til tho issue of certificates of indebted nets authorized at tbe extra session, and which alone enabled tbo company to tide over tho recent money panic, with? out interruption to tho printing und business of the General Assombly. 1 Tenth. That with roferenco to the appropriations made at tho extra session for tho report ou immigration, tbe de 'cisionsof tbo Supromu Court and tax duplicates, we bog leave to ask your atteutiou to tho following extract from the report of tbe Senate Committeo on Printing: "Senate Committee Rooms. "Colombia, S. C, October 30, 1873. "The Committee on Printing of the Senate, to whom was referred u bill to inuko appropriation for tbo puymcut ot tho espouses of printing, have had tho same under careful cousiderotion, aud beg leave to report: ??That the work ordered by concar r. nt resolution of the General Assem? bly, r.t its last session, in of tho highest importance to tho State, not only for the information it affords tbo immi? grant, but as furnishing a valuable record and history. The committee ex? amined specimens of a portion of the work now in progress, and, after a pa? tient hearing of tho Cldrks of the two houses as to tho time, labor and expense involved, believe the appropriation asked for this purpose to be just uud reasonable. "Iu regard to tho appropriation for the payment of tho printing of tbo Su? premo Court decisions, tbe committee, ou reference to Chapter 101, (page 495,) Revised Statutes, bud that, while the Comptroller-General is authorized to draw his warrants for the publication of these decisions, no appropriations have been mado for payment of the warrants, thereby rendering further legislative action ueoensary to authorize the Trea? surer to pay for the work. "With referenoe to tho lust item o! appropriation askod for by the bill, tbe committee iiud that, iu the reassess? ment of property for the fiscal year 1873-74, tho Comptroller-General or? dered tbe reprinting of the blank tax assessments, tax returns and other ne? cessary papers for carrying out the Aot pussod at tho hist session of tho General Assembly providing for a re assessment of tho taxable property of tbe Stutu, and the committee are perfectly satis? fied of tbo justice of this claim. "Tim committee, iu juatico to the State Printers, also beg leave to state that they have carried on their work, as was shown your committee, at heavy sacrifices, on account of tho State Trea? surer's inability to meet former appro priutioos made by tbe General Assem? bly. Their contract 1ms been faithfully observed, and their work well aud promptly exoouted. Tbe oommittee, therefore, ruoommoud that Ibe bill do P06H. "ROBERT SMALLS, Chairman. ?THAU. ?. ANDREWS. * H. J.
