The four hundredth anniversary of the I'M.
vention ofprinting was celebrated in Philadel
phia and Boston on Wednesday, the 2ith,
with much spirit. The Boston Courier says:
The lterati of Germany have fixed upon
the Gath of June, l4i0, as the epoch, from
which to date the invention of printing. tits
not easy at this time to determine the precise
point of time when the .frt IF Printing wac
invented. Harlem, and Mcntz, and Venice,
and Strasburg, have each contended for the
honor. The indiciduai TO whom the world is
indebted for the discovery is also a subject OF
controversy, and five or six, at least, have
each, had an advocate among the antiquaries
OF the last century. 1t is pretty certain, how
ever, that the process of casting types, for the
purpose ofprinting books---an invention which
was probably suggested by the expensive pro-
cess of printing from blocks-was first used in
the printing-house of Guttamburg, Faust, and
SchGiIer, in tho city of Mentz. And this in
vention is what may be called the inrention Of
the art Of printing for printing from blocks,
and even from separate wooden types with
cut faces, was probably practised many years
before.

NORTH EASTERN BOUNDARY.

Monday, i'll Senate, message was receiv-
ed from the President on thisSubject, accom-
panied by communication from Mr.. Fox, the
British Minister, and the reply Of Mr.. For
syth Secretary of State,) to the same. These
documents were read and ordered to be print
ed. The President states that the PROPOSE
ton last made by our Government had been
accepted by the British Government; and
that the report of the British Commissioners
of their survey of the Disputed Territory,
which was wholly ex parte, and differed
wholly from the construction given in the u.
s. to the Treaty of 1888, had not yet been ac-
cepted by the British Government. The Pre-
sident strongly recommends the immediate
provision by Congress for a commission to
survey the disputed Territory on the part Of
the United States.
1t appeared from the documents that tho
plan now concuued in by Great Britain is -
That joint commissions to be appointed by
the two governments for the final settlement
of all points in dispute, and the points on
which they cannot agree are to be referred to
an arbitration, which is to be final and deci-
sive.

THE PASSAGE OF THE SUB-TREAS
URY BILL

The Sub-Treasury Bill, with the aid of the
Previous Question, passed on the evening of
Tuesday the 3Oth.-Yeas l2i-Nays 1917.
The National Intelligenccr of the I'd inst
says:
"Well, the sub-Treasury bill, which pass
ed the Senate several weeks ago, has now
passed the House of Representatives, and,
sin spite of the lamentations here or else
where" is now the law of the land.
''But hoao did that bill pass? By what
means has it been forced upon resisting and
protesting People? What triumph can its
contrivers boast! With every Administra-
ton Member of the House of Representatives
at his post, excepting Mr.. Howard, of Indiana,
and Mr.. Fisher, (who considered himself in
structed against the billy the votes for the bill
were l24; add the vote of MIR. Howard, and
there would have been I25. Take from this
number the five New Jersey members uncon-
stitutionally elected by the House of Repre-
sentatives in lieu of those returned as elected
by the People, and suppose the House to
have been full, Gas it would have been had
there been any prospect of their defeating the
bill and there would have been 100 votes
for the bill, and 100 against it!
"This shows hOw the bill passed, and by
what high handed and arbitrary means its pas
sage was effected. Three times rejected by
the real Representatives of the People, this
scheme for Strengthening the Executive pow
er, and charging its patronage against the
will of the People, has been thus fastened up
on the People by means which would make
it odious and detestable were 1t not otherwise
Objectionable. To doubt that the People, in
the exercise of their sovereign power through
the baliot-box, will resent and abate the nui-
sance,under the circumstances which have at
tended its passage, would be to suppose them
insensible alike to their interests and to their
rights

concur.
A more improbable session, or one whose
proceedings have been so discreditable to the
American character, has not been held since
the establishment of the Government. The

pear to have put forth all their energies TO
bring into odium and contempt the popular
branch of the Government.-JJMie

.4lo5ama.-A letter to the editors of the
National lntelilgencer from respected cor
respondent in Alabama, under date OF June
25, states that the political excitement in that
State is very high, and from present indica-
tons he thinks that the Wings have fair pros
pect of success in November. The recent
Convention in Tuscaloosa, he says, was
truly magnificent affair, and has produced a
most salutary influence.

The Federal Press, and the Enquirer a.
mong the rest, if we mistake not, hayo been
shouting over letter purporting to be written.
by ''James Henderson, of s'South Bend,"'
Indiana, declaring his secession from the
Wing Party. The paper, published at South
bend, declares that no such man as James
Henderson, lives or ever has lived at that
place. The conclusion is, that the whole af-
fair is fabrication, and the Federal convert,
a man in buckram.
