Congress ndjourned with prospocts, on the whole, reassuring to the Ropublican organiza- tion, and thero wore felicitatious all round, which Bammy Cox made but « focble offort to burlesquo. The ourroncy question was neatly dodgod. Tho Exccutive end of tho Govern- ‘mont had at last began to roorganize the Cab- inot. And more Domocrats go home to throw up the sponge than Republicaus, ALLISON. Benator Allison bas beon emplayed, during noarly the whole sesslon, at the hond of tho Com- mittee of Investigation into the affairs of tho Distriot of Columbia. In this arduous placo ho has ehown diligonco, attontion, a love of justico, and a synthetic talent in tho composition of his briof and oxhaustive roport, which will bo the model of future investigntions. His personnl dignity wae novor forgotteu; ho permitted uo low familiarities from prosecutors, reporters, or others; ond, to tho last, his equity waseo fair that no ono kuew how Lo would voto. Instead of wasting adjeotives on individunle, ho pointed out tho oxceesivo dimonsions of the Government for tho siza of the District; the incvitablo gath- ering of powor into the hands of the mastor- spint ; the want of checks and restraints to pro- tect tho rulers in theiwr chnractor, no less than the people in their property; and ended by rec ommending that Congroes take buck the thing it had perpetrated, make o Civil Commission to docide upon & form of govornmont at loisure, and meantime commit tho District to s small National Comminsion. Tucidentally, Mr. Alli~an's Committeo was the ‘moans of breaking up ono of the worst bodies of dotective spiosin thie Unitod Statos, Tho Treasmy has loug maintained n seoret police force, Form-* orly one Wood was at the head of it,—a man who a8 sinco been shown to have had the first dip into tho private colloction of ovaded duties and oxcizes, uud to have rocoived the first moietics paid out. Whitely, the present olief, is a tall, consump- tive-looking young man, of an indirect oyo and snesking mental processes, I think ho belongs to Now Ilampshire. His chum was genorally understood to bo ex-Solicitor Baufield, whom we might cullthe Attornoy-Goneral of tho Trensury. ‘When the Attorney for the Stato and the Chief of Polico are cahoots, it fares ill for docency. This appears to have boon the case. Not content with the enormous and un- scrupulous advantage his place gavo him, White- 1y seoms to have followed in the way of all such thiof-takers sinco the day of Jouathan Wild, o got to setting up jous und wviting crimo for the sake of levyiug upon both tho perpatrator and tho victim of it. The bittorness existing in the District botweon the Shophord and the Aloxan— dor party, the formidable counel rotained, and tho suppoded value of missing evidence, secinod, at tho moment, & profitablo field for detoctive 1ntriguo. Mr. Allison's Commtton traced up to Whitoly the procuroment of tho crime of biow- ing up & 8afo for various purposos, and, inatoad of wasting objurgations upon the craature, sont the evidence and tho man's uame up Lo his prio- cipal, tho Seoratury of tho Tronsury, ns b notifl- cation to do lus duty. . ‘Mr. Allison’s temperato, yet intropid, course has shown that heis the possossor of Judicial no lcxa than Senatorial qualities, and u part of tha Jionsors of the sossion belong'to him. ‘TIE CONORKSSIONAL LINRARY, The joslousy of Congress for every porquisito, renl or valueless, I8 soen in the rojection of the Joint Library Committeo’s proposition to build a lain, capaoious building for tho Library and Pitnmry collections solely, so that their treasurcs may bocome the property of scholara aund gen- eral readers; and the adontion, justead, of o uchiome to advance the centre of tho Lust front, 80 a8 to_sccommodate the Capitol to the growth of the Library., To harmonize the old Cnpitol 10 its extonsions, tho wings, is well cnough; but the added room will bo in request for striotly Capitoline purposca; while the Library, inovita- bly spreadiug, will, nt & lator time, again press upon thie bounds which confine it. ' This Library is now hard upon 800,000 volumes, It is the Beholastio Capitol of the placo. As well might Parliament command tho Brivish Mussum to ba made an appendage of Westimnster Palaco as for Congroes to hoard this mighty mass of use- ful books whioh it is unable to read. There wore to be loft 50,000 volumus in tho Capitol as & roforence-library, madoup of duplicates, In auother respect, historical students will sndly deplore the doutruction of tho old central «apitol, that Westminster Hall of America. Its uaint staircnses, old nooks of ofiice, beauntiful aupmme-cnurt room, aud exqulsite Hall of Rop- resontatives, belong to tho great suggestions of our loyalty and reverent patriotism. It would be bettor to take the whole building down, and got it up in another place, stone by stoue, and robuild the contre altogether, than to tear it out au n compliment to the smart now wings, where ths lobbies are the most Buggestive thingd, Meantimo, tho worl of STATUE-BETTING fim on just the same, Nnthaniel Greeno is to 6 put on & horeoin the public stroets,—making, with tho stntucs alrondy up or coming, six equestrian ridors, I suspoeot the Greeno utatue to bo intonded for o commission o I, K, DBrowno, that kindly old man who is the Nestor of Amorican sculpture, e modoled tho first ut}unulrinn staluc in the United States, The figuro of Gen, Greeno ha mudo for Rhode lulaud, exquisitoly ornamentod and pretty in art, has probably suggosted a use for his historlonl wtudies” on that subjact and his later auatomlonl studies in blooded stock, Iam in favor of more froodom in the trout- ment of these things, It Is said tust Gen, Bhoer- man, on his march to the eos, rodo a mulo, Lot him be statuoficd on tho mule, a4 o monumentto tho patience of thut bLoroio quadruped, whoso skoleton ndorns a thousand Virginia ronds, whore ho stuok in the mud and rotted thore, bolt up- right, still brayiug to the lost: stmple, oroct, susters, ovore, sublimo, TIn like manuer, Ban Wado rodoa bull in Banto Domingo.
