The Printing OF Congressional De-
| bates.
The concurrence of the House to the
Senate amendment transferring the
printing of the debates Of Congress
from the present contractor to the gov
ernment printing office, it is thought,
alter the first year, will prove a great
saving. The present printers have the
sterotypes OF the back volumes. These
will have to be purchased, or reset and
restereoty ped, which ever can be best
accom- pllshed. The public printing
office was enlarged last summer in an
liclpation of this change All that
will be required will be small Increase
OF material and printers. By this action
all the printing of the government
except the money, is placed under the
direction of the Public Printer.
The Cnair I'm Which Washington Sat
Among the interesting features of the
Inauguration ceremonies will be the
chair in which George Washington was
inaupurated as the first President Of the
United States. At the request OF the
Sergeant at Arms of the Senate, Mr.
French, this interesting relic was SEM
here by it's owner, who resides at Val
Hail, Westchester county, New York,
and was received yesterday. Mr.. VIM,
Coventry II. Waddell, whose wife owns
the chair, in a deposition which accom-,
panies it, says that he was appointed
Marshal OF the United States for the
Southern District OF New York, by Pre-
sident Jackson the 7th OF November,
1881; that upon assuming the duties Of
his office he found that the room appro-
priated for the uses OF the courts OF the
United States in New York was on the
second foor of the northerly side of
the present City Hall; that during
the occupscy OF the room by
the deponeut there was therein
a large chair iu . dilapidsted
coudition, OF no real value aside from
Its associations. which, from satisfscto-
ry evidence derived from ancient servi-
tors, some OF them then still living was
itse Identical chair which was used oy
General George Washington at bis tirs,

States, at the new City Hall OF New
