The Congress Printing - The Democratic
Organ-A Governments Once.


Organ-A Government Once.
The democratic. majority IN the two houses
Of Congress are between two banicades, and
there they stick The first trouble is the organ,
and the second is the public printing. The
Washington Union might do well enough but
the seeessionists and free sellers have q most
deadly grudge against it, because of its late
differentiation with Cass and Cobb, and Foote and
Clemens, and Toombs and Stephens, on the Com
promise question. That's the difficulty with the
Union. Major Donelson, thinking he was the great
impediment to harmony, took up his hat, made his
bow, and walked out; but Gen Armstrong finds it
is the hereditary transgressions Of tho Union itself
Ard that's bad.
On the printing question, the democratic majority
Of the Joint Committee agreed to give it to tho
Union, and democratic caucus agreed to do the
same thing; but when the experiment comes to be
tried in the open House, there the devil to pay,
and no pitch hot" 1t won't work. It won't 60
down. The Southern rights men and Northern
free sellers can't, somehow-can't any how-be
made to stick The great object in this way-the
highly important object Of furnishing the shows of
war to the central organ-is thwartod and inter-
cepted, and stopped, stock still. The printing Of
Congress amounts now to an average Of at least
Union, as proposed, they would make perhaps
$50 600 out Of the work yet to be done Of the pre-
sent session. That would help good deal
in printing and circulating extras and useful
documents in behalf of Pierce and King but there
is no harmony ameng the brethren, upon the Union.
There it is, doing the work Of the organ without
any of the fat jobs perquisites of the organ Like
a good many great men Of the times, it has been
cd cr.v nlal NV fbo
promise which saved the country The fate of their
organ is but the fate of Glass; Douglas, Houston,
Cobb, Foote, Downs Clemens, and others. But
great men are required sometimes to make great
sacrifices the altar of their country. 1t seems
title tough but such the inscrutable dispense
tons of politics and Providence.
Well, then, as the House can't agree upon an
organ for the public printing, what is to DO done
with it? We have answered the question before.
Establish Bureau on Printing, just as you have 3
Bureau on Pensions, Bureau on the Public Lands,
a Bureau on Patents, and Bureau on Indian
Affairs Pass the bill; appoint committee of
practical men, with full authority to call 10 practi-
cal advisers; put up large and suitable building,
well lighted, well ventilated, and Systematically
ranged in its different departments giving to each
branch of the work. and to each class of the compo
room for reports a room for executive messages,
n room for rule and figure work, &C., &c.
We venture to say that, with the building in
readiness, we could name committee that could
put it into the most beautiful running order in three
months. Let James Conner & Co, type founders,
be empowered to provide, arrange and classify the
types; let Richard Hoe & Co., press makers, have
the authority to supply and arrange the pre- and
other materiala and cnll in advice and assist
ance the firm of Persse s. Brooks, paper makers, all
of this city, and we will guaranty their capacity to
rig out an establishment, from the vaults to the
sky-light, capable Of any amount Of work that Con-
gress, and all the departments together, may desire.
When all things are thus in readiness and life and
action is only wanted to put the into practi
cal use-whcn it only requires the introduction of
the necessary corps of superintendent printers
gineers, pressmen, &c.-we modestly undertake to
say that the New YORK HERALD Office could furnish
the man to fix it, and operate the whole vast estab
lishment with the smoohness and regularity of piece
of clock work, keeping side by side with Congress,
from the first Monday in December to the last day
of the session, including daily paper, with full re
ports of the proceedings Of both houses
Such an establishment, so organized, could be
paid for every cent of prime cost, in the savings Of
a single Congress, the present SYSTEM and over
the old party system it could be done in session,
with the advantages of punctuality, tho best work
and the best materials at wholesale cost. Let the
two houses put this thing into their long pipe, and
take good smoke at it. Ten to one, before eighteen
months we shall have national printing Office So
immense is the amount of work to be done, vast
and rascaly are the pckings and steangs Of party
jobbng and the contract system, that there is no
other plan left than government printing office.
Nothing else will do.
BUBBLES OF 1862 We have heard much latter.
ly of the California gold companies, rather gold
bubbles, got up in this city. Some of these buh-
bles, understand, preparing statements with
which, in a short time, to gull and humbug the |
community, by pretensions of the great richness of
their mines, and the prodgious increase Of the |
stock, to be sold to those who will be green enough |
to buy it. We would advise all thrifty people to |
beware Of these gold companies, for the most Of |
them nothing but gold bubbles, got up by |
spectators all round town, and intended to deceive
and cheat the community at large.
