Speaking of the Democratic punier in
printing at Washington. the correspondent OF
The PhiladcShia North American states:
Enough evidence has already been obtained
to prove that engravcrs in Philadelphia and
elsewhere were often taxed 25 per cent. on their
bills, aud tho money paid over to Mr.. Wendell,
the public printer. This percentage was some
times paid over in pretended loans, but the col.
lusion is too transparent to escape delection.-
The same sort Of work is now executed under
contracts, made BY the present Superintendent
of Printing, at 80 per cent on the prices allowed

quantities Of popcrint-rior TO the samples by at
