STATE DEPARTMENT BUILDING.— Editor Star. Permit me to congratulate you and the public upon the very satisfactory action of the Senate regarding a new building for the State Depart- ment. The site chosen is probably the very best in Washington, and, moreover, will save to the city unbroken those beautiful openings known as Lafayette and Scott Squares, both of which were frequently named as well located for the new building. The language of the Senate act, or amend- ment, is not explicit asto the style of architec- ture or the stone to be used in the building, which is ultimately to be extended for the ac- commodation of the War and Navy Departments. Would it not be in excellent taste to have the edifice, in every respect, a counterpart of the Treasury building, which is confessediy one of the finest and most imposing in America? With such a structure, anda street beside it like that on the west side of the Treasury, we should add most attractive features to the city. Then the Treasury, State, War and Navy De- partments would be in convenient proximity. The Interior and Post Office Buildings, and a new building on the square fronting F street, opposite the former, and to match in architec- ture the latter, to accommodate the Land, In- dian an@ Pension Offices, would complete a series of public editices of which any nation might boast. In this connection, I may refer to the popular delight over the proposed improvement and en- largement of the Capitol grounds. ‘They hare long been an eye-sore to every public-spirited American, anda discredit to the government. But while about it, why not act upon Mr. Pot- ter’s bill and extend the grounds to C street north? And they should also go to 3d street west, in order to match the Botanical Garden grounds on the south of the Avenue. Any one who will study the landscape wiil quickly dis- cover that these extensions must be made in order to make an attractive park, and such there should certainly be, whatever. the cost. Now that it is so clearly demonstrated that the project of moving the capital, although so much talked of, has little support, and is gain- ing no strength, will not Congress deal more liberally in all that pertains to beautifying the city and making it one of which every Ameri- can may be proud.

The reduction to be especially enjoined as to clerks and employees in the larger cities, where an excessive number of employees appear to have been rally kept in service. Clerks who are retained are to be fiaid at no greater rate than clerks doing corresponding duties in the bureaus of the War Department at Wash- ington, and in no case over $150 per month. Soldiers are not to be detailed for duty now per- formed by civilians who may be discharged un- der this order. — = In the§General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church South in session at Memphis yesterday a resolution effecting the consolida- tion ofthe churches North and South was re- ferred without debate.

The Announcement of the Verdict — Statement of Mrs. McFariand—A Let- ter from Mr. Richardso: As we stated yesterday, the trial of Da: McFarland, indicted for the killing of Albert 1» Richardson, in New York, was brought to « conclusion on Tuesday afternoon by a verdict 01 “not guilty.” The scene which ensued on the announcement of the verdict wus exciting. The New York Times, after graphically describing the suspense in court while “waiting for the verdict,” says that as the words “not guilty” escaped the lips of the foreman, the crowd, who had stood with every nerve strained to catch the result, responded with cheer after cheer, which demonstration no effort on the part ef the ofti- cers could repress—if, ineeed, any was made. The Kecorder sat unmoved on the bench, and unreproved by him, cheers were given for Mr. Jobn Graham with a vigor even exceeding the former. Little Percy mages upon a chair, and, waving his handkerchief, joined in the popular demoustration. Everybody was wild with ex- citement, and women and men were not ashamed to shed tears—indeed, there was scarcely a dry eye inthe room. After a little time the court room was cleared, and Daniel McFarland was tken to his brother’s home. It is rumored that McFarland intends, encouraged by this deci- sion, to bring at ace against his wife in the nature of a divorce. ‘MRS. M’PARLAND’S STATEMENT. The New York Tribune of Zomorday peblishes astatement and affidavit made by Mrs. A. D. Richardson, and also wae the late A. D. Richardson, dated Dee. 1, 1867, in the form of a letter to Mr. J. H.

Mr. Wilson which was not taken up, the question being on striking out the redecing the army to 25,000 and in- sert.30.000, which was agreed to. ‘The question then recurred on striking out the first ecction as amended, which was rejected, ayes 21. nays 51. Mr. Ferry moved to strike ont the eleventh Section, which provides for the appointment of a board to retire officers who may be re- — as unit for the proper discharge of their juties, Mr. Fy regarded thw section as a threat to turn out of the service those officers who did not Tesign in consequence of the inducements held ont to them. He opposed the compulsory re- tirement of sick or disabled officers. In the discussion the opinion was expressed that a discrimination ought to be made between those who ought to be absul: from the service on account of Jetlaqucacire, and those who had become disquali ‘by reason of wounds or sickness incurred in the discharge of their . Lyd Mr. Wi moved an amendment to the sec- tion, to meet this view, to the effect that only such officers shafl be reported to the Board who are unfit for duty by reason of other canses than a or disease incurred in the line of their uty. Mr. Corbett suggested how would it be if the disease was delirium tremens. [Laughter.} Mr. Wilson.—Then it would not have ben in curred in the line of his duty. ‘The amendment was to. Mr. Howard moved that every officer who reported for retirement shall have a heart before the board; which was agreed to. The question was then taken on the motion of Mr. Ferry, to strike out the entire section; which was not agreed to. Mr. Sherman moved an amendment repealing all acts or parts of acts preventing retired off cers from aecepting or holding @ civil position He instanced the case of General Fessenden, son of the late Senator, who had lost a leg in the service, and whose fellow-citizens had de- sired to make him Mayor of Portinnd. He had also in his memory an officer of high rank, who had really lost ‘his life, was now breah- ing through one lung, and whom the people of Ohio would be delighted to ‘ive any office im their gift, and yet ese officers were prohibited from holding any civil position. He (Mr. 8.) could see no justice in denying ® retired officer, who had done his country service, the right to hold office. Their y is not sufficient, and they are condemned to live in poverty. The whole opposition to this thing comes from a vague idea that the people of the United States are afraid of military men having control of the government, but he thoug! t it was time that we had outlived thie idea. HOUSE—The House proceeded at ones to the consideration of the bill reported yesterday from the Committee on the Causes of the de- cline of American Commerce. Mr. Allison, who yesterday made a point of order to send the bill to the Committee of the -on the ground that it made an appro: priation and imposed taxes, withdrew that point of order upon Mr. Lynch, who had charge ot the bill, consenting that amendments might be offered. Mr. Weils (Mo.) then dbtained the floor on the bill, but vielded to Mr. Hays, (Ala.,)to make a personal explana- tion. Mr. Hays sent to the had read an extract from a New per, in which he (Havs) was charged with having used bis official poiition as a member of Congress to obtain a fee from a Mississippi pilot, named Divine, for securing to htm a claim to which he was justly entitled under the government. The article in question also charged that members of Congress were in the habit of acting as claim agents and prostituting their official patronage to Nii their own pockets. He denied the charge, or that there was the least foundation for it, and explained at length the only ageney he had in the matter, which was perfectly proper, and Which had been approved by the Naval Commit- tee, which had charge ot the case of Divine ‘The newspaper article, he said, was written at the instance of Mr. Horatio King, of Washing ton, who pretended to be Divine’s agent, but against whom he (Hays) had’ been warned by Divine, and had been told not to hand any money or papers in the case te «aid King. He (Mr. Hays) had been called upon by King, and wanted the papers in the case, and they were Tetused, and this unprovoked attack resulted. He proceeded to denounce Mr. King in violent language. The Speaker announced Messrs. Kelsey, (N Y.,) Butler, (Mass.,) and Niblack, (Ind.,) as the rence committee on the part of the House disagreeing vetes on the Pension bill. Mr. Wells then concluded bis speech on the shipping bill, and was followed by Mr keln- burg; after which the bill went over, and the House as in Committee of the Whole resamed consideration of the Taritf bill. se - Tae VERMONT SENATO! Senator Edmunds of Vermont, another keen-headed lawyer, has something sharp and to the point to say on the Wiliams amendment. He hardly fufills the old physical traditions of the Green Moun‘ain state he has a very intellectual head and strong features, the unfailing indices of mental p wer. In ability and scholarship he ranks among the very foremost men of the Senate. He is not an orator; but, rather, aclear, acute deater. It is amusing to see with what slowness, sharpnesss and soticinction be pressade to ie ail “points” which fail of acceptance in his "i cote. Senator Morrill of Vermont, listens tn- terestediy to bis colleague. This senator earned national reputation during his long service in th> House, which he fully sustains in the Senate. He is a man of whom Vermont has just reason to be proud, not only for his self-wrought and suceesstul career, but for the high personal honor as well as ability which he brings te bear upon every act of his public legislation. He 80 is tall, with shoulders just sufficiently bent to carry the honorable years which do not dare to show themselves upon his face. He does not carry the tonsure in which senators of unventi- lated hats do most delight; but has a head well covered with brown hair, just touched with ay, strong features, and houest blue eyes.— rs.
