a proposed act to authorize the Commia
lioners of this Couniy lo muke certain
uuilays. This remoneirtnce is drawn in
profound ignorance of the subject upor
which it profesaea to iresi,and is,in shon
a paper of mistaken fads and misappli
ed declamation.
It is not proposed to repeal any pro-
virion of Ihe Removal Uill. It is not
proposed lo put upon Ihe county any
part of the expense of erecting the build
ings required and contemplated by that
se Hut the Commissioners, the Grind
Jury and Ihe Building Commiitee hav
simply applied to the Legislature to au
thoriza the outlay of a sum not exceed
ing $2500 for extra work and to fur
nish ihe new builJing". Nut one dot
lar r(h4 pmpwed outlay is tn f r
wvk or material required y the We
niOvalIJ.il, aud therefore the question
liteuiied in the Dinville remonslrsnc
Joes not exist, and Ihe quotation of Mr.
Funston's declarations, &s , are not p
olicahle to the ma'ter in hand.
The fire-proofs are not required to be
built bv the provisions of ihe Removal
Bill. The act aiys that the buildings
iall be of ihe mot approved pfan, lut
it does not say of wh it kind they shall
b, except Ihst ihey shall be of brick
or stone. In facta requirement thai
(he new buildings should be fiir, proof
was deliberately and intention al ly kept
out of the bill by Ihe legislature. When
thai bill wjs upon i'D pusige in tbiSen
ate, an amendment wan otlered nq'iirinn
thai Ihe new buildings hould be fire
proof, and afu r a discus, ion of some
'eng'h.i tvai voted duton. So the
Senate teclaifd that tha bill should n
rt quire firepronf buildings. (Seo Sen.
le Journal, 1845, pigea 814 anil 215.)
It it highly expedient, and in fact
necrewy, that fnu proofs should b'

Mr. 7?ifcite ExpetUd.'Vht U, S. Son
ate has finished iis war upon the ptess by
expelling Mr. Ritchie, the editor of the
Washington Union, from the floor of that
house. If ihe same promptitude of action
exercised against editors and r eporters were
shown in reference lo measures of national
importance, particularly those relating to
the War in Msxico, we have, no hesitation
in saying thai ihe people would be much
better satisfied with the proceedings of
Congress. No oiu doubts the righl of eith
er house to depnvs a reporter, who is guil
ty of misrepresenting its pioceedings. of the
privilege of the floor, and in some cases in
corrigible by other inoans.il may be expe
dient to do so. 7Au the expulsion of Mr.
Ritchie is an act of a graver character. He
was not guilty of misrepresentation in a re
port, His olFence was in exercising ihe right
common to all the press though sometimes
greatly abased, that of commenting upon
the public; acts and epeechesof the members
of the Senate, Mr. Ritchie had a seat on
die floor, granted by the Senate, but that
impojed no other obligation upon him than
is imposed upon a reporter who receives
ihe same favor that of fairly representing
the acts and opinions of the members when
speaking of them. By accepting this priv
ilege he relinquished r.o right of opinion
that he possessed before, or of freely com
menting upon any of the acts of the Legis
lature and the course of the members.
Therefore he was under no obligations for
any personal favor from iheSenale of er eak
ing otherwise than as he tho ight, and allow
ing the correspondents of his paper to do
so, II it were meant to punish hun for his
opinions, the Senate in denying him a priv
ilege, exercised a power very doubtful-
hat of punishing the press by subjecting it
to other liabilities lhan those (hat the law
has'imposed. Editors ot newspapers aro
amenable to the laws for abusing tht-ii priv
ileges, and Senators nnd members of Con
gress hive the same recourse as anv other
citizen lo those laws for ihe pioiection of
dir ir personal or official reputation. If these
laws are found lo be insufficient they can bo
