Our other facilities for the neat, expeditious, and economical execution of Job Printing, of almost every description, have likewise been greatly extended of late. So we are now prepared to give satisfaction in that line to all. Counsel before the Court of Claims will find the Scar office the best place in Wash- ington for the immediate and correct execu- tion of their printing jobs. Give us a call. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Union rejoices over the decision of Judge Kane in the Wheeler slave case, where- in that distinguished jurist holds that there is no statute in Pennsylvania setting free the slaves of cilizens of other States in transitu through Pennsylvania, and that any such statute would be unconstitutional if enacted. The points decided by him are as follows, viz : “1. That I know of no stetute, either of the United States, or of Pennsylvania, or of New Jersey, the only other State that has a quali- fied jurisdiction over this part of the Delaware. that authorizes the forcible abduction of any person or any thing whaisoever, without claim of property, unless in aid of legal process. “2. That i know of no statute of Pennsyl- vania, which affects to divest the rights of property of a citizen of North Carolina, ac- quired and asserted under the lews of that State, beeanse he has found it neediul or con- venient to puss through the territory of Penn- sylvania. “3. That I am not aware of any such stat- ute, if sueh a one were shown, that could be i as valid in a court of the United States. “4. That it seems to me altogether unim- portant whether they were slaves or not. Ii would be the mockery of philaathropy to as- sert that, because men had become free, they might therefore be forcibly abducted.”’ The Judze further imprisoned Passmore Williamson for contempt of court, in swearing falsely in the answer he made to the pro- cess allowed at the instance of John H Wheeler, whose uegroes Williamson assisted ta abduct. The Union also chides the southern Know Nothirgs for essaying to conceal the fact that Salmon P. Chase is the regularly nominatea Know Nothing candidate for Governor oi Ohio; and publishes many accounts of with- drawals from Know Nothing lodges at the th. The Intelligencer moralizes over the East- ern war, of which it cannot toreee the end, and regrets the failure of the Austrian proposition for peace, of Count Buol, and thinks the Allies are to blamefor it. The editorsays that from 1793 io the Pacification of 1815, none of the great warsof Europs in that time, ever inspired 80 deep an interest as is row concentrated throughoutchristendom upon this Eastern war, &e z CatholiqBeoks. We are indebte! tu Taylor & Maury for co- pies of the foliowing receut works, fresh from the prolific press of Murphy & Co., Baltimore, viz.: Growth in Holiness, by Father Faber; Vindication of the Catholic Church, by B'shop Kendrick ; The Immaculate Conception, by Bishop Uilathorne; and the Blessed Sacra- ment, also by Father Faber. These books are standard publications of the Catholic Chuich, written by three of its most distinguished theologieal writers who use the English lan- guage. They are eminently devotional, as well a: polemic. We need hardly call the aitention of devout members of the Catholic Church to them, as that class of our fellow citizens are prone to seek with eagerness any thing from the pens of these sincere Christians and able men. To those who have formed their estimate of Catholicism on the Maria Monkish publications of the day, the printed hob-goblin stories of bitterly anti-Catholig co- tempore eous historians, and the ravings of the Leahys, Cassallis, Argel-Gabriels, and Gavazzis, who are now on anti-Cathelic cru- gaces, we heartily recommend the perusal of the works mentioned above; wherein, though they fin! much doctrine they cannot receive, they will nud faith, hope and charity inogf- cated with earnest eloquence and power, garely surpaszed in theolugical writings of the times. We know nothing mete essentially auti-Chris- tian than the habit of judgiog men and creeds by what their enemies bitter, prejudiced, and uncompromizing, say of them—nothing, The system of this country is founded on the on the idea that all our people are devoted to the muintajnuance of the eternal principle of justice in all things, which must te observed ‘or we most cease to be a free and so prosper- ous people; 28 no people have yet remained free and prosporous for any considerable time after they have become radically unjust.

Governor Reeder’s Removal.—We are sat- isfied that after we went to press on Saturday, the President transmitted to Hon. John L. Dawson, of Pa., a letter, tendering to him the position of Governor of Kansas, made vacan! by the very recent removal of Governor Ree- der. The intelligence of the appointment of Gen. Dawson was unexpected in political cir- cles here, though all careful observers around us were satisfied that the Executive would find himself constrained, by a sense of duty, to re- move Governor Reeder. We are unable to- day to discuss at any length an event of so great political importance, but shall take oc- easion to do so at another time. We regret the exigency that has seemed t President Pieree to demand the removal o Gov. Reeder, although we are free to say that wedo not perceive what other course coul have been taken. For reasons not to be con- sidered in a hasty paragraph, because they are connected with every item of the history of the organization and growth of the territory of Kansas, a dead-lock has occurred betwee. the representatives of the people of that terri- tory and the Governor. The whole legislative business of the territory had been brought t stand still. It must be apparent from thi- fact alone that the day of Governor Reeder’s usefulness to the territory of Kansas, passed away with the occurrence of that event. Wise policy, to say nothing of duty to thai young and growing community, would thu: seem to demand that a trial be made of a new man in the office of Governor, of one known t the country as a sound statesman, and as om devoted to the constitutional right of all and every section of the Union, Missouri as well as Massachusetts. That has been done by the appointment of General Dawson. Imperial Library of Franco.—In the iis number of the London Atheneum we find a: aecount of the catalogue of the Imperial Li- brary of France, which contains much inter- esting and valuable information on this sub- ject. Immense libraries are doubtless acquisi- tions to any country, but it would be well tu consider what an enormous expense is invelyea in the mere preparation and printing of a cat alogue. In 1838, the French Government ap- propriated 1,264,000 francs, or $237,000. to b expended in the preparation of a catalogue ¢ the printed books in the Imperial Library After the lapse of twelve years—that is, i 1850—a commission was nomi::ated for the pur- pose of inquiring into the progress made in th work, and the time and amount of money thni would be required to complete it. The chie officer of the catalogue department made a re port upon the subject in June, 1850, wherei: he stated that the number of titles prepared for the catalogue of printed books was 171,190 that ten years would Je required to complet: it; and that it would not be possible to com- mence the printing until 1852. He further undertook to prepare titles at the rate oi 140 000 a year In this he failed, however. and resigned his post, confessing his inability to advance more rapidly. In June, 1852, i. was found that 250,660 titles were prepared. The commission in 1850 named twelve year: as the period within which the catalogue of printed books would be completed, and eigh- teen years for printing it, and estimated the number of volumes in quarto at from sixty- five to seventy-two. M. Taschereau adopts the number of volumes, promises the com- pletion of the work within the twelve years and anticipates that the time for printing cai be curtailed. The Atheneum remarks thai “energy and determination will work marvels, but there are limits which cycn these noble quulities eannot execed.. The Emperors Na- poleon the First and Third have accomplished great things by a determined will; but they never made a catalogue, and we strongly sus- pect that M. Tascherean, as his experience en- larges, will be induced to moderate bis prom- ises.”” In addition to the catalogue of printed books, there are in course of preparation thos of the manuscripts, of the medals and antiques, of the geographical collection, and of th prints. Altogether, this series of volumes, i: properly executed, will form one of the mos important and extraordinary works that ever issued from any press in the world. Only one volume has yet appeared—which contains 16,036 entries, and relates to French history. Small Arms.—‘‘It is stated that at the United States arsenals the manufacture of small arms ($10,000,000 worth of which we are said to have on hand, is suspended.) until it i ascertained what are the last French anu Pruszign improvements—experimenting with which is gelng on by Colonel Huger of the ordnance i= Rattles Sun, July 28. The above paragraph is only one of the many silly stories with which the newspapers are teemigg, and which it takes much of our space to correct. ‘The idea that our government has suspended the manafacture of arms until it can ascertain the [2st Freneh apd Prussian improvements, is too preposte"oM? be believed by any one at all conversant witn “*! Public affairs. The fact is (we have been at som. Daly == certain it) that the Secretary of War, so. * considerable time since, took under considera- tion the subject of our small arms, and became satisfied that the day for the late models had passed by, and he gave instructions to have the system thoroughly examined and new mod- els prepared. Experiments were thereupon instituted, and the result has been the pie- duction of new models, which it will be diffi- cult for the world to beat. The new mode! arms are all on the grooved principle, and are adapted to the Maynard system of priming. Sinee the manufucture of the old model arms was discontinued, (30th June last,) our national armories—not arsenals, as stated, have been fully occupied in preparing the new models, and in altering our well-tried Harper's Ferry rifle to the Minie principle, and arranging them for sword bayonets. This Minie pripciple, by the bye, is not generally understood by our peeple. The arm itself undergoes no change except the sight, which has to be arranged for long distances, from 100 to 1,000 yards, the great difference in the range being duo altogether to the manner of preparing the ammunition. The elongated ball, adopted for our service, differs from the Minie ball, but the principle is the same, the ball being expanded to fill the grooves of the barrel by the explosion of the charge. We may recur to the subject of our small arms again in a short time, having merely al- luded to it for the purpose of correcting any false impression which might have been created by the paragreph at the head of this article A Needed Invention.—The present “ heat- ed term" brings forcibly to our mind tho fect that the world is greatly in want of a fan, to be worked by other machinery than that of the elbow.
