THE PRINTING BUREAU.
WHAT THE NEW YORK ENGRAVER
WOULD DO,

WHAT THE NEW YORK ENGRAVERS
WOULD DO.
To the Editor Of The National Republican:
SIR: In your issue Of some days since you an.
nounced that the Oyergrown and plethoric bank
note companies were making strenuous exertions
to obtain the work Of preparing and printing the
stamps which the Government issues and uses as
one of the methods Of securing q portion Of its
revenues 1t is said that these companies will
make a persevering effort to take all this work
from the bureau established in the Treasury and
remove it to New York. Should they achieve
this purpose it will work disaster in every way.
In the first place, this work should be done here
on the score Of economy. Mr.. MeCartee can do
it cheaper and better than it can be done else
where. submit that this single fact of itself is
a sufficient reason for retaining all Of this bust
ness under his supervision and management, and
nothing further need be said to those who desire
perfect work, cheap and economical execution.
In these DAYS Of retrenehment and reform the
Government cannot afford to take any backward
steps in the way of doubtful eXpedients and ex-
pensive experiment. And besides, this work
gives employment to a large number Of people
whom the Government would be obliged to dis
miss were this business removed to New York or
some other city This is no trifiing consideration
to be brushed aside as Of no account. These peo-
pie are many Of them, the widows and orphans of
deceased soldiers, and all of them in needy cir
cumstanees, and should they be discharged much
suffering would inevitably ensue. While the
Government is not bound to support beggars, it is
bound to aid those who faithfully serve it, and
when it can do this more economically and better
under the supervision of its own trusted and tried
officials, it must cease to give ear to the clamors
of interested parties who are Influenced by selfish
considerations entirely. ECONOMY.

4 HANDsOlfE MONUlrRNT.

There has just been completed and on exhibition
in the yard Of d. McMenamin, at the corner Of
Pennsylvania avenue and street east, as fine q
piece Of sculpture work as has ever been seen in
this city. The work Of art consists of monument
sixteen feet high, and was made for the tomb Of
the late Theodore Wheeler and wife. The base
is Of granite, five feet square; above this is q sub
base, four by hve.feet, made Of the Philadelphia
blue marble and brought to q very high and bril-
liant polished surface. On this rests the monu-
ment. 1t is made Of the pure Italian marble with
fine delicate veins traversing the stone Around
the end runs the ivy, with every leaf produced in
so perfect q finish as to denote the sculptor an
artist. On the apex stands an urn, which is en-
clrcled by wreath Of roses, truthfully ehiseled
out and depicting the patience of the man in
bringing to perfection so intricate and monoto-
nous q task. The column and urn, as well as the
ivy and the rOses show complete finish throughout.
On the face Of the monument, in raised letters,
are the words,
Theodore Wheeler, Of Massachusetts,, died at
Washington, D. o., June 10, 1872, aged seventy
one years"
Lucy A, daughter Of Peter Lenox and consort
oil Theodore Wheeler, died in Washington Feb
ruary Is, 1873, aged sixty-ss7en years"
On the sub-base is the word, in large black let
tiers, wheeler"
The wife Of Mr.. Wheeler was the sister of the
ISte eA-Mayor Walter Lenox, who died only
shoEt time since, and for whom q monument is
pelng prepared, and another for second sister Of
deceased, named Mrs. Simpson. The one CON-
pletee wiz remain on exhibition for q week and
then be taken to Oak Hill Cemetery and placed
in position at the tomb. The yorlkmansbin and
genius exhibited by the monument was done by
Pole named Ignatius ozuszes, who was engaged
upon it steadily i've months ere his task Tas CON-
pleted. He certainly shows the handiWor, Of a
master mechanic, and reflects credit unon his
skill.

HOWARD UNIVERSITY.
OPENING EXERCISES OF THE LAW


vi G4N4N1 E4AGIAO4OEo OE 4hb LAW
DEPARTMENT.
The formal opening exercises of the Law
Department Of Howard University were held in
the law-room, University building, last evening,
commencing at six o'clock. The faculty, con-
sistiDg of Prof. J. NJ. Langston, dean and acting
president Of the University; Hon. A. G. Riddle;
lecturer; and H. D. Beam, instructor and
secretary, were present, and a goodly number Of
students, many Of whom have recently Joined.
Interesting remarks were made by Prof Lang
stOn, who stated that notwithstanding any re-
ports which may have circulated to the contrary,
the University in all its departments was enter
ing upon another scholastic year with the most
favorable prospects, and, he was happy to say,
was in a most encouraging condition, not only
financially, but in every other respect. A large
numbered desirable students from every section
Of the country were already IN attendance. Since
the first Of September his success in obtaining
aid for INDECENT students had been great AID
gratifying.
As for the law department, it opens now with
over thirty students of good standing, ability and
character, and the assurance is presented that
this department will be almost entirely self
supporting. The faculty, during the coming
year, remains unchanged, and the work of pro-
fessiOnal training and culture, on the combined
lecture and recitation system, will be prosecuted
with Tigor and earnestness, particular attention
DelnS palu as heretofore 10 moot court and foren-
sic exercises. Prof. Langston concluded his re-
marks by giving to the students assembled some
excellent advice with regard to the course which
should characterize them in their relations as
law students, and assuring them that their char
acter and standing at the bar would be largely
determined by the habits here formed.
Hon. A. G. Riddle then addressed the students
of the department, explaining the course he
should endeavOr to pursue in his lectures during
the year; drawing his material mainly from his
observations and experience during his practice
at the bar; presenting salient points in the law;
calling attention to defects and laboring to i'm
press upon all the necessity of improvement. He
assured them Of the necessity Of severe and con-
scientiOus labor, and asserted that fair average
capacity, with proper effort, application, deter
minatiOn and will were sufficient to insure
success.
Maj. H. D. Beam addressed few words Of ad-
vice to the students who composed his classes, ad-
Vising them Of the hours Of their exercises and
enforcing the neee ssity Of punctuaI attendance
and conscientious study Of the text books pursued.
