years from the time the claim occurred, was
struck out.
Mi. Garfield of Ohio, offered an amendment
looking to a restriction on public printing, and
at the public printing Office would, if put into
books make library of 100000 volumes OF 800
| pages each. He particularly condemned the
| printing of Clarence Kings geological exp!ora-
tions of the 10th parallel five volumes of which
| are yet to come, with expensive engravlngs at a
cost of at least $25 per volume, and the total
| cost of the book would be at least 5000 900.
MI. Sargent of California, supported Mr.. Gar
field, saying the drawings were not made by
| King or his assistants, but furnished by persons
interested in the Sutro Tunnel, Comstock Lode,
| &c.
Mr. Dawes of Massachusetts, made an argu-
ment in favor of economy, and suggested that
much more good would be effected by publish
ing the results of these observations in cheap
| form than in these extravagant volumes, to be
| packed up in the trunks of members. He show
ed the necessity eff restricting the department
in printing. He would rather vote the 500 ,OOO
to continue the explorations of DR.. Hayden,
Ross Browne, Bayard Taylor and Others, and
disseminate the results among the people In
| cheap form.

was laid aside to be reported to the House

New Fifty-cent Counterfeits.

In Petersen's Counterfeit Dstector for
July, is the following description of the
new counterfeit f'ty-cent notes, extern
sively circulated at present The head
Of Stanton, the::beard harsh and stiff
the background on the right Of the head,
irregular and scratchy. Under some Of
the letters of the words fractional cur
rency" are five lines in the ruled shade
to the letters, and but tour in the genu
me. In the words United States" the
blank spaces in the body of the letters
and the rule shades are irregular, and
generally narrower than the genuine,
which are O. uniform width. On the
back of the counterfeit the hair lines
forming the turns at the top and bottom
OF the ltalac letters are heavy on the
genuine they are light and delicate.
The red seal also differs materially from
the genuine in the forms OF the letters
the dots on the shields, the shades TO
the letters, which are irregular and on
both sides of the letters, and the ruled
lines forming the background to the
shield. The fibre paper on which the
genuine rotes are printed has been imi
tated by scrstchy lines engraven on the
counterfeit plate. On examination
with glass it will be seen that the en-
tire work differs from the genuine.
