and printed on heavy book paper. Messrs.

ing the immense edition and executing the
work to the admiration of the thou
sands who have read and examined
the edition. The seventy-siX Senatorial
portraits are brought out admirably well.
The entire edition, which required the ut
most facilities for printing so immense a
paper, was all printed in the job Office of
this firm. The different kinds of type
are manipulated with great deal of
skill and typographical experience. The
advertisements are all nicely displayed; in

of that session of Congress with a
small law library, partly on his desk
ard partly piled upon each size

and II was supposed it would
be Immediately passed. Sumner, how.
ever, had the iloor, and he began to
speak. After he had spoken an hour
or two 1t occurred to Senator Wade, of
Ohio, to ask Sumner. as the session Of
Congress would soon expire, and rs
there was much necessary business still
remaining to be done, how long the
Senator from Massachusetts intended
TO occupy the attention of the Senate
Sumner replied that his speech must be
of unusual length, and that he would
not promise that IL would come to a
close before the legal session of Con.
gress came to an end. Wade, who had
in his charge what was in effect Lin.

compelled to abandon it. Sumner thus
managed to have the whole great subject
OF reconstruction postponed to the pc
riod when 1t could be discussed In all
its larger relations TO the welfare Of
hOth sections of the country. 1t is
very likely that this incident, as Sum.
