They are first published separ s. fitely m sheet form, as "slip laws," ; as soon as possible after being re ceived by the bureau, and num - bered in the order of their receipt. When so published, the -slip laws are given to the editor of the laws - (a competent person selected from the legal profession by the secre fnry of state and privately em ployed for that purpose), who notes marginal references to pre vious legislation, arranges the acts and resolutions by "chapters," and prepares a suitable index; and un der his editorial care, at the end of the session of Congress, they ap pear; again in pamphlet form, as "session laws." Lastly, at close ot a Congress, the laws of each ipinn sirs gathered bv the editor o " iii to a single volume and bound, as "Statutes-at-Large." The num erous readings given to the printed "proof," and the careful compari son 5v?ith the text of the originals, effectually guard against discrep ancies. The manner in which the department performs its duty is thoroughly creditable; the man ner in which Congress dismisses its own work is, in many instances, absolutely disgraceful. Some of the rolls received at the depart ment are disfigured by erasures, interlineations and blots, by errors .in orthography, capitalization and punctuation, and by hieroglyphic mangling, that suggest the master-pieces" of school boy art. ' These and more serious imper ft'ctibns, once- placed upon the parchment roll are law. How ewer glaring the blunder, however mischievous- the distortion or omissionthe State Department is ' powerless to add a correcting dot or stroke. Mistakes made by conT gressional enrolling clerks "have undone legislation accomplished ' Uy Congress after hours of debate. Au Hem of half a million dollars fbr public purposes was bodily left out in the enrrollment of a recent appropriation act; and the- substi tution of a comma for a hyphen in transcribing a tanfl7 measure, soma years ago caused a loss to the Gov ernment of thousands of ' dollais - 1 t - AlntitnA nnA irther loss arrested by the pas ?oge of another act.

The rapid transit of the age is not confined to the railroads. The steamer is showing wonderful progress in this respect also. The steamer Owego has recently made the run from Buffalo to Chicago, around the lakes, in fifty-eight hours, the fastest trip of the kind on record. In the future every great iron clad will have its suit, composed of a" small fleet.
