professional s,enogrspher. and has long been en-
gagged as a Reporter in Congress, in the Conven-

members whose remarks he may report, and the
public at large. He will he assisted by competent
reporters, aud will at all times attend in House
himself to ensure faithful and accurate reports of
debates in the Legislature. The other proprietor
will take charge Of the, Editorial Department of the
