Mr. Wise called on the clerk TO knowwy the Printer to
the House had failed to furnish certain Documents and
charged that there had been extraordinary delay in the
execution of the public work
There has been delay in delivering only single Docu-

Engrayngs, upon which three Engravers of the city have
been constantly employed ever since the drafts have
been in hands The whole 10 COO COMICS of Tho
publication ordered by the House have been printed
some days ago, and would have been delivered but for
the want OF Engravings These require tedious minute
ness IN the execution of the plates and printing off

enabled us yet 10 have provided for the House
Ii we had been elected Printers at the last session
inns unexpected difficulty would have been obyiaied; we
should have obtained the drafts weeks before tic meet
ing OF Congress, and had the documents prepared for
delivery ordered.
We would not, however, by this explanation aitemnt
to turn aside MIR. Wse's wrath. We would be rrafed
TO see HIM assert the authority of his place and press
inquiry as TO negligence charged in relation to the exc
cuioh Oh the duly committed by The House TO the Globe
Office. We should bc pleased If Mr. Wise would move
