From the superin- tendents of the Coast Survey ; the Rev. D.

John Bradstroet's expedition, in October, 1764; from the Mr. Wm. J. Bruce, of Pittston, Pa., relative to the time, place and manner of the announcement of the Declaration of Independence at Morris- town, Xew Jersey fmni llampsliire, ; the State Librarian of Xew proposing an exchange of books ; and from other persons having reference to the operations of the Societ}-. The Secretary stated that, to the communications of Messrs. Whit- tlesey and Bruce, he had been unable to return any satisfactory answers, there being no information on the subjects referred to in the library of the Society. He also submitted to the Society a " Certified copy of a Supplement to an Act, entitled an Act for the better preservation of the early records of the State of New Jersey," passed by the Legislature at the last session, at the instance, and through the influence of the Hon. Nathaniel Niles, Speaker of the House of Assembly. Mr. Sa.muki. H. Coxgar submitted his report of donations re- ceived for the library sinct- January, which will be found on a subsequent page. The Treasurer, Col. Robkrt S. Sword-s, reported a balance in the treasury of $706.63. Dr. Pknxixotox, from the Committee on Publications, reported the issue since the last nieeting of another number of the "Proceed- ings," which completed, in print, all the transactions of the Society to the present time. The seventh volume of the " Collections" con taining Judge Elmer's New Jersey Reminiscences, had also been published since January and had int-t willi a very satisfactory recep- tion from the public. Tlic ( 'onunittee renewed the suggestion, pre- viously made, that the members unsupplied with full sets of tlie Society's publications should secure them without delay, as but few copies were lefl of some of thi- vuliniies. Mr. Dkxni.s presented the report of the Committee on the Library, congratulating the members on the growth of that necessary adjunct — MKKTING IN NKWARK. .t of the Society, but regretting that through the inadequacy of the Library Fund its growth was dependent on donations alone. "The success which has attended the Society so far"—said the Committee "the accumulations of the historical treasures we possess, and the conveniences and fiicilities afforded for research, have not been with- out pecuniary cost to the earlier members, and we, who have succeeded them, should not intermit our exertions to carry forward the work so well established, and heretofore so generously sustained"—and an urgent appeal was made for further subscriptions to the Fund. Mk. II.\yi:s IVdiii th(> ("ommiltcc on Xominations reported favorably upon a number of gentlemen proposed for membership at the last meeting, who were thereupon duly elected ; and new nominations were received. (Communications to the ."society being in order, the PRKSinKXT presented with appropriate remarks, engraved portraits of the Rev.

  • CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present
    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.

An Anomalous Case of Southern Sympathy: New Jersey's Civil War Stance Abstract A popular narrative of the Civil War assumes that all Northern states stood united behind President Abraham Lincoln in their loyalty to the Union. However, the case of New Jersey suggests that this narrative of devotion is simply a myth. The gra arian economy of New Jersey kept the state firmly opposed to universal emancipation, and New Jersey behaved more like a border state than its geographic neighbors of Pennsylvania and New York. By examining New Jersey's response to the release of the Emancipation Proclamation and the Election of 1864, the myth of Northern unity is broken by understanding persistent state-level economic factors.

  • LEGISLATIVE FRANKS of NEW JERSEY by Ed and Jean Siskin
    Ed & Jean Siskin ~ LEGISLATIVE FRANKS OF NJ LEGISLATIVE FRANKS OF NEW JERSEY By Ed and Jean Siskin The franking privilege is the right to send and or receive mail free from postage. The word frank comes from the Latin via French and Middle English and means free. Samuel Johnson’s famous dictionary of 1755 defines Frank as “A letter which pays no postage” and To Frank as “To exempt letters from postage.” Currently we use the redundant term “free frank” but this is a modern philatelic invention. The term “free frank” does not appear in any British or American legislation or regulation that we’ve been able to find. Insofar as we can determine, “free frank” is a term which started to be used in the 1920’s by stamp dealers. They had begun the illogical use of “franked” to refer to the stamps on a cover and needed a way to refer to franked stampless covers. The term “free frank” was permanently implanted in our lexicon by Edward Stern in his 1936 book History of “Free Franking” of Mail in the United States. Stern was a major stamp dealer of his day and one of the first serious collectors of franked material. We had an original photograph, Figure 1, of Stern showing his Frank Collection to ex-President Hoover at the 1936 New York International Philatelic Exhibition. Wilson Hulme talked us into donating that photograph to the Smithsonian where it now resides. Stern’s book pictures an incredible collection of rare and desirable franked covers. However, some of the discussion in the book is not as fully researched as we would like and must be treated with caution.

GOSSON, In the office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington. >§®=" The newspaper press are welcome to use such parts of the work as they may desire, on giving credit therefor to the Manual. INTRODUCTORY THE INIanual of the One Hundred and Eighth Session of the Legislature of New Jersey is, we trust, an improvement on preceding volumes. We have honestly striven every year to make each succeeding book suj^e- rior to all others, and hope, ere long, to present a work which will take rank with the best of its kind published in the United States. To do this we need a continuance of the support heretofore given us, and the official assist- ance of the Legislature. We are confident that this little hand-book, furnished at the small cost of one dollar a volume, is indispensable to every legislator, State official and others, who can, at a moment's notice, refer to it for information of any sort connected with the politics and affairs of State. The vast amount of data, compiled in such a remarkably concise manner, is the result of care- ful research of official documents; and the sketches of the Governor, members of the Judiciary, Congressmen, members of the Legislature, and State officers, are authentic.
