'The strength of pub- lic oplnfon on this subject everyshere, ex- cept possibly In the centres of ratirond and stock-jobbing nttuen can scarcely he overestimated. .The New York press 18 not apparently even nwnre of s existence; but they will svon become consclous of it.

Gen. Urage, of Wiseousin, agalu stirred up the anlnals on the Democratle side of the House yesterday, ‘The Sundry Civil bl was vnder consideratlon, nud among tho items wiis one approprinting $20,000 for the pur- chase of the private papers of the decensed Confederato Gens. Brags and Polk, n order toadd them to thoe Revel archives which the Governmeut s colleeting. "lus excuse for turning over Government money to Rebel Genernls or their deseendants has been urged in the House every year since the Plekett papers were purehased. Mr. Thomas, of 1ill- nals, toved to strlkeout the Iteny, and his prop- osition was supported by . Drage. "This aroused the Iro of Mr. Blackburn, of Ken- tueky, who turned flercely upon M. Brogg, and throughout the discussion munintained an oftensive bewrlng toward the Wiscousin Unlon soldler, and endeavored to hrowbent, Dbully, and intimidate him. 'The Kentucky tne- tlesdid notsuceeed very well In this instance. en, Brage, i bis veply to the threats that wers Inthmated, very coolly informed his nd- versary that he always held himself respon- sibte for any aml all of hls utterances on the floor, but did not think K necessary to parade the fact. From thls poiut the Kentueky champlon of the codo was not so aggressive as he Lind been before. Gen, Bragg opposed the renewed preeedent of purcling ing the papers ‘of Rebel Generals while the Union Generals donated thelr documents, oftietal and private, bearing upon thie War, 1le nlso exposed the real purpose of gentlewen who cume from ‘‘the other slde of the line,” ng tho Sontherners avo in the habit of expressing themselves, * wear- Ing widow's weeds which unsunlly turued out to be pants and boots, and taking up o collection ot the door to pay the expensus of the exhibitlon,” There were many on the Republiean gide who were disposed to favor the sppropriation for the purchase of these papers—nong othors, Messrs, Robeson, Iluwley, and Daker,—and the proposition would probably nve provailed had not Con- federate biuster asserted itself so offensively, It was rather curlous, indeed, to hear somne of tho utterances on the Republican side ap- planded by the Confederate Brigadiers, while the remarks of the Democratle but Union General, Bragg, brought out counter ap- plause from the Republican side, Mr. Black- burn's ensy wna wenkened ulso by his con- fident assertion that the purchaso of” these papers had been recommengled by n Congres- slonnl Commission of which Gen. Garileld as b nember,—a statement which proved to be Incorrect. The proposed approprintion was probably benten in the end by an nmend. nient offered by Gen, MeCook, of Now York, ndding the names of several distinguished Unlon Generals now deeeased, whose tumilies should be included umiong the benefiearies of public money pald out for private war papers, It was In all likellhood the indisposition among tho Confederntes to vote money to the families of Union Demoerats which se- cured enough votes on the Denocratle skdoto strlko out the appropelation. ‘The lnteresting foature of the debate, however, was the spleen displayed by the Confederates at the effrontery of any member elabming to bow Democeat In refusing to truckle to their ac- customed dominion, Gen. Brage's caso 1s almost unique, It 1s true, but his bold de- fense of the Unlon cause agalnst Confedernts assaults on his own slde of the House ought to make the Democrats of the North proud of him, THE NATIONAL LIBRARY SCHEME, The scheme for the erection of a bullding for the separato cecommodation of what it Iy proposed to eall the Natlonnl Library hes progressed to the extent of the passuke by the- Senato of ¢ b authorizing the purehase ol o lnrge tract of lwd lying enst of the Capltal buililing, ot acost net to exceed $1,000,000, Thut 18 a8 fur a8 1t should ever go. The progress wlrewdy mode fulls short of the destgn ot Mr.. Voorhees, tho specinl patron of the project, who In- troduced tha original bl providing for tho erection of the Library Buliding on Judiclary dyuare, already the proporty of e Government, and mnking an approprin- tlon of $1,500,000 to begin work onn fire proof structure which It is estimated wilt cost not Juss thon $4,000,000, and the netunl cost of which, It over undertakoen, will probably be double that amonnt, ‘Thls bitl was set uside by the Senato In favor of one introduced by Senptor Morrill, authorizing the purchuse of the tract east of the Capltol.. “I'ho practical vifeet of tho changs will bu to add 51,000,000 dollars for purchasoof land to the cost of the bullding i€ the project shiull bo adopted by the Guvernment. The most sensiblo rewmurks durlng yester- day's debate were mudo by Senntor Conk- Iing, who must have convineed every fmpoar- tial Mstener that It 1s not only practicublo but highly desirublo to extend the dimens slons of tho Capltol bullding and that sweh extension may by made to afford the neees- sary room for the necommodation of the Congresstonal Library for along period to come, It 18 the opinlon of many lond- fng archlteets of the country that the symmetry of tho Capitol has Dbeen marred by the nddition of wings so large ns to dwarf the central portion, and by the con- strietion of n dome of about the same altl- tude g the dome at St Peter’s, without ear ryige wp Its” supporting structure to a comn- mensurata hight, The ralsing of the domeo I order to admit of an additionn! story over the central part of the Capitol, and the en- Iargement of this central part by extenslons both east and west, would make (his baild- Pme tho most imposine on the globe, and it enn searcely he doubted thnt sueh changes would provide amply for the growth of tho Congressionnl Library, Even further enlargement coutd b obtained, If It were necessary, Dy additlons to the 1wo wings, which should bubuitt upen alower grade, and which would at once contribute to the gramieur of the structure and provide the two leglslative bodies with Nalls Jooknfls ont upon the open spaee, and glving the Congressmen enongh oxygen to enable them to live purer llves, Dut the so- Jittion of the questlon would not establish Nuttonal Library, nor ereaten pew Govern- ment Department, which is the ultimatum of the present agltation, I'here was ohw practienl suggestion which did not occur to any of the Senators, or at Tenst was not mentioned, 'Fhe great bulk of thoe accumulation in the Congressionul Li- brary s made up of the duplieate coples of books which must be:sent to completo the requirements of the Copyright law In the ensu of 0l publications. ‘Iheenormous mitss ofbooks that are piled upunder thlsprovision of law nccounts for.the continuous growth of the Library, whicl'forms the bnsis of tio project for o new and costly building. DBut they are for tho most part volumes which are parely consulted, and not worth the reom they occupy, A simploand adequate expedient, however, for preserving these volnmes on shelves properly Indexed so they could be found when needed, would bejto construet n platy, fire-proof bullding of hx)lch at o cost of ot more than §50,000 or 40,000, for the safe-keeping of the copyright books, Suchn building coutd be located in the vicinity of the Capitol, ns residences and other bulldings are, without buopnicing the architectural beauty of the Capitol, and provisions for ex- tendiug It as the copyright volumes jnerenso could be made In the first purchase of the ground, But this would be nelther a - Na- tional Library nor a new Depattment. 'he vote In the Senate on the Library sehieme was 80 yeas to 18 ngainst, The Son ators voling ngainst it were Messrs, Beek, Brown, Cockrell, Coke, Conkling, Enton, arrls, Jones {Nev.), Kirkwood, MeMillan, Maxey, Paddock, Plumb, Saunders, Wallnce, Wiltinms, Window, and Withers, Ordinarlly it might be assumed that sueh n scheme would fall In the House, and this 1s tho prohuble outcome of the matter, Never- theleas, the relntious of Mr. Spofford, the Li- bravian of Congress, areso intimate with that body, aud so muny Congressmen are under obligations to this oficinl and his nssistants for survices rendered Inthe preparation of specches, that his inflwence In favor of the Library schieme will undoubtedly help It very wuelt. Mr. Spofford way be naturally ered- fted with thefambition to be ‘at the head of the Natlonal Librury, and he has cerfainly been a zealous promoter of the project. But 1t Is novertheless true that n Nalional Library In the City of Washington will be of great cost and small servies to the conntry, while tho fiture need and proper functions of the Congresstonal, Library may be sbundantly provided for by ag extengion of tho Capitol butlding, which Is further desirable from an arehitectural point of view. THE ORAIN-INS8PEOrION PROBLEM, The investigation into the conduct of the grain-inspection at Chicago, now In progress at Springfield, has already brought out many fnteresting facts, It may bring out more, and probably will doso, ns a number of know- ing ones have yel to bo examined, and tho whole of one side of the question yet vemains to be heard. Thoere are, however, s016 col- slderations which suggest themselves to an fmpartial observer, and are not likely to be moditied to uny great extent by anything that may be developed betore tho officlal In- qulry is ended. ‘There fs no room for rensonnble doubt | that many abuses and lapses mark thesystem of grain Inspeetion as now conducted, Tho Commisstoners have thelr endquarters at Speingileld, while the scene of all thelr ware- house and inspection dutles lies in Chicago, 180 miles distant, They have no real power over tho Chief Inspector, or any of his sub- ordinates, "The Chief Inspector, In liko man- ner, has no real power over those who are under lim, even it ho were cnmpetent to exerelse It; and 1t s not denled that hoe is fn: competent to deelde whother or not they are capable of deciding the relative values of ditferent parcels of grain, The chlef nnd his subordinates give bonds for tho falthful performance of thelr dutles; but it Is elalmed that they are not llable for damnges In any ease, unless It ean be proved that they have willfully and knowingly done wrong, ‘There §s no vrovislon to gunrd ngalnst or remedy Incompetence, or even negleet, on the pnrt of nny or all of these gentlenien, not a few of whomhave been ap- polnted solely from motlves of u merely par- tisnn churacter.

M. Thomns is & man of few words, so this might havd been expected, but at the snme time Its conciseness Is not n fault, for, as might b expected also, Nhis views are thoroughly practical ana characterized by sound common senst,—n quality not often brought to the consideration, apprecintion, or enjoyment of musie. There 18 1o arrogance or presumption In theso publle suggestlons of Mr. Thomus to the people of this coun- try upon its musleal possibllities. 1o ls qualified by nature, by study, and by ex- perlence to nppenr as a teachor, and his sug- gestions deserve to bo recelved with more theu ordinary attentionand respeet, In the first pluce, ho s o musiclan of large knowledge, both in the llterature and {echnicalitics of lis nrt, ono of the two or three great conductors of the world, a lender of Indomitable purpose and rare excentlve nbllity, with the highest and noblest standards constrntly in view, and pos- gessed of Infaltible discrimination between what Is true and what is false In musie, Sccond, he is an Ameriean In all his habits and modes of thinking and lving, bis life having been svent in this country sincochild- hood, and he is therefore qualified to regard his subjeet from an Amerlean polnt ot “view. Plird, what progress this country has mnde towards a higher plana of music durlng the past twenty-five years s due more to "Theo- dore Thomns and his work than to all other Jeaders and causes combined, and this is due to the renson that whilo other men have ylelded to popular pressure and have eatered 1o sensation he hins nover swerved from his high purpose. A compnrison of his pro- grams dnring the past guaster of a century would show a stendy growth onward and upward and & popular following in that dl rectlon, and the surest proof of his sue- cess I8 that his best programs draw the best Mhouses, 1o has been able to do thls not nlone Dbecuuso ho Is n conductor of oxtraordinary mngnetism and ability, but bocauss he bns always sur- rounded himself with first-clnss ployers and no others.

The bill pending Congress to fund in 8 per cont bonds and ‘Trensury certiticates tho 700,000,000 of 6 and b per cent vonds falling due this year has induced somo of tho man- ngets of tho New York banks to predict thut 1f the bill becomes a lnw there will ben gen- eral rotirement of the Natlonal-bank-noto eurrency, which contrnctlon, they assume, will plunge the business of the country Into confuslon nand distress akin to that of o dis- nstrous panie, 1We have already diselnfined any sympathy in what are known as the * Carlislo sctions of the Funding bill; they were designed and intended as an unjust menace to the banks, and an applicution of a coercion to them that was discriminating and unfair. . But the prediction, or threat, whichever it may be, that this bill willl tiecessarily con- tract the currency and disturb the finances and business of the country by compelling the Dbanks to withdraw their circulntion, coming from these Wall stroct banks, will rather ox- clte thesridiculs aud contempt of the public than eouse any alarm, It Is only a very Dbrief thme since tho Nationnl banks of New York City were clamoring around the hulls of Congress that n law be passed demonetiz- 1ng $350,000,000 of greenbacks, and nlso some $60,000,000 of sliver, making over $400,000,000 of legal-tender dobt-poyinz currency. ‘The New York banks were then insisting by reso- 1utions, memorials, predictions, nppenls, and threats, just ns they are now dolng, that the salvation of tho bus'ness and finances of the Government and of tho people deponded absolutely | on the Immedinto oxtine- tion, rotirement, and sponglng out of exlstence of over $400,000,000 of - legal- tender debt-paying currency. = ‘These Wall streat banks lind then no fears of a financial or commereial panlo resulting from this en- forced nnd sweeping contraction of tho great bulk of tho legnl-tonder debt-paying cur- rency of the country. What is the possible contraction which this blll at the worst can produce? The banks have ln reund flzures §310,000,000 of currency, ‘fhis fa secured by o toposit of bonds beur- ing 0, 5, 43¢, and + per cent Interest. Tho Funding LILL provides fov the payment of the 6 and & per cent bonds, and requires that the $200,000,000 of these bonds held by the banks shall bo replaced py the new 3 per cent bonds. It prohibits the present banks or now banks depositing either 434 or 4 per cent bonds In exchange for the G or & per cents, and prohibits suy new currency belng Issued an o deposit other than 8 per cents, Those banks which now have 4} and £ per cent bonds on deposit aro permitted to retaln them ag loug as such bends ure outstanding, So at the utmost tho Nutional banks ure compelled, if thoy are-not willing to accept 3 per cent bonds, to retire only the $200,000,000 of thelr clreulntlon now represented by the ¢ and & per eent bonds, At tho utmost, even at the worst, the bank- noto cireulntion which this bill can retire’ls anly §200,000,000, aud this possible contraction of non-legal-tonder currency which these Wall street banks predict will couvulse the commerce of tho country and produce a calamity not Jess than that of a panle is only one-half ns great as the contraction which these same banks demanded Jess than o year aRo 0s essential to the prevention of a panic in the commercial and flusnclal atfairs of the country! : Arg the Judgment and opinlons and demands of these'New York bank managers upon their own showing cutitlod to the least con- sideration by the publle?
