The PRINTING OF CoNGREss.-Three or four years
since, Congress adopted the contract system for the
execution Of government printing-hat is, the print
ing given to the lowest bidder. instead of each
house elecng its printer and paying them estab-
lished by law. The new system has been tried re-
peaedly by the States, and il has invariably proved
failure; but the most signal failure have known,
is that remarking upOn-ihe printing of Con-
gress by contract The work would disgrace the
newspaper press. The paper is light and fimsy, and
dark-colnred-the ink, any of the intervening cnlurs
between snowy white and sooty. The work is of the
most slovenly character, and the better opinion now
is, that the whole Of the printing denc during the last
few years, viii have to be reprinted another quar-
ter Of century rolls round an expense of perhaps
a million of dollars.
This subject IS now creating as much excitement
in Congress can be spared from the slavery agita-
tim. They have discovered that they have been
gaining loss. Not only is the work bad, but there
is much delay in the execution of it, that the bust
Of Congress is greatly retarded thereby Several
members, without regard to party, seriously
engaged in retracing their steps, And the sooner
they do So the sooner will they show proper regard
for the public interest. Under the old system OF
electiug the printer, the public work eleg antly
and promptly executed. Let them return TO ii again

We observed some weeks since that Senator BRIGHT
had made movement this subject. and Justly con-
demned the present system dsgraceful. We hope
he will be able TO effectuate reform.

consequence is that in the House, where we bad a

The AMERICAN GOLD DOUBLE EAGLE has made
Its appearance at the East they about the size
of the silver dollar. On side it has the old ORR
ginal head Of Liberty" with the word .'Iiberty'
across the forehead, surrounded by the thirteen
States, and stamped 1880" On the reverse is the
coat of arms Of the Union. being the figure of an
enge with spread wings, of different design to those
on any other coin, with arrows, olive branch and
shield, and the motto "E Pluribus Unum" on scrolls
on either side. The eagle is surrounded with the
words limited States of America" Twenty D. -
and has immediately it a circle of thirteen
small stars. The coins well enough perhaps, but
we prefer an increase of smaller ones. We hope
the coinage Of the gold dollar will not cease.
Mr.. Schenck has proposed more practical reform
in the currency. by improving silver coins. He pro-
poses to get rid of the old Spanish bits and quarters
and to coin twenty cent pieces. We think the quar-
ter dollar ought to be retained. and that
smaller size should be made, of alloy.
