Robertson, asa sub-committee, and that any suggestion ‘which ne might have to make in reference to these bills should be ad- dressed to those gentlemen. PUBLIC BUILDINGS IN THE DISTRICT. In the Senate this morning. Mr. Morrill, of the Committee on Public Buildiog and Grounds, to whom was referred the resolution of the Sen- ate with reference to the suspension of appro- priations on public buildings, submitted bis re- port. in which he say: “ Probably few if any original appropriations will this year be made for any pabite buildings in any of the states. But the rapid growth of the country constantly increases the demaude upon the Treasury for new or larger buildings. especially at the seat of government. ‘Lh: aition to the members of both houses of Von- gress which has recently occurred, and the in- creased number of the committees in the Houxe, as well as in the Senate, creates a necessity for a larger number of committee reoms; and it is obvious that the Court of Claims, now occupy- ing space in the Capitol greatly needed, mast be provided for elsewhere. The city hall now belongs wholly to the United States, the halt owned by the city of Washington haviag been bought and paid for in contormity to the act of the last session of Congress. This bualiding, standing upon Judiciary square, can easi be ‘ie to accommodate the Court of Claims; nd also by an extension of the north side toa line parallel to E street, which can be done at a very moderate cost, can be made of ample mensions to accommodate the Pension Bureau, now crowded out of the Interior department. * = * The wisdom of the extension of the Capitol grounds, always undoubted, was mate manifest upon the re- ags from the squares recent- ly purchased. The structure is so imposing in its dimensions that it requires a site of propor- tionately grand extent. But these grounds haye been so much neglected that it is almost a mat- ter of national reproach that their ansightl and untidy condition should be so long patientiy tolerated by Congress. The best landscape art ts of the country should be summoned to our TRE FIRST NATIONAL RANK. The sub-committee appointed by the Com- mittee on Banking and Currency to investigate e affairs of the First National Bank of this city to-day submitted their report to the fall cofpmittee. The report charges grave irreza- larities on the part of the officials of the ba vk | which cannot be punished under any existing law, aud the committee recommend an ameni- ment to the national banking laws whicn will cover ¥ ases in the future. Among other things, the ommittes state that just pre- vious to the fa'lure of the bang its capital was deposited with Jay Cooke & Uo. The commit- tee will further consider the raport at a mvet- ing next Monday morning. DISTRICT KILLS IN THE HOU 2R.

A point of order was raised that as the Dill appropriates money it should be conmdcred in Comumitiee of the Whole, aud the.poixt was | sustained. Mr. Hale then asked that tae House go into Committee of the Whole. He then yiel atory of the act relative to the formation of cor- ‘ations in the District cf Colambia under Reneral law. ‘The bill which was introduced by Mr. Ch'pman on the 9th instant, was amended, and as passed is as follows: Be it enacted, &c., That the fourth section of the act entitled “An act to provide for the cre- ation of corporations in the District of Colam bia by geueral law” shall be construed to au- thorize auy corporation formed im pursuance of the provisions of said act, for the purpose of carrying on marketing, to locate and construct on the grounds of such corporation a suitabie building or buildings wherever they may deem it expedient, the location thereof to be approved | by the Governor of the District of Columbia, with the necessary stalls, stands aud appurte- nances, and to use and Occupy the same as a public market, may be determined by such corporation, an to let out such stalls, stands or other portions of such buildings, and to coliect renta therefor, led, That the government of the | District of Columbia shall at all times have power to make and enforce such regulations with regard to such market and the mana ment thereof as, in thelr judgment, the con- venience, health and safety of the community may require. OTHER BILLS. The House then went into Committee of the | Whole for the consideration of District matters. | ‘The first bill reported was by Mr. Pelham to provide for the education of the indigent blind in the District of Columbia; laid aside. | ily upon her min Mr. Hale, from the District Committee, called up his bill giving the approval and sanction of Congress to the route and termini of the ane- costia and Potomac river railroad, and to regu. | late its construction and operation, and ex- | plainedits provisions.

SaL2y UNDER DEED OF TRUST. Mr. Spencer, in the Senate, to-day intro- | duced the Lsgatcon 9 act:—Be it enacted, &c., | That any sale hereafter made in the District of | Columbia by virtue of any power contained in | any deed of trust given to secure the payment of money shall be void, unless the same shall have | beer made in pursuance of the judgment or decree of @ court of competent Jurisdiction.

Louis Jacob, who liad a laundry at 170 Thirt avenue, New York, was arrested in September, 1871, and carried off to Blackwell's Island Asy- lum, in spite of his protestations. This was done on @ warrant from Justice Shandley, and the warrant was granted in due course on the usual certificate, signed by Dr. Theophile inne and Dr. J. B. Miller, that the man was ne. Jacobs remained for five days in the asylum, and then was discharged as pertectly sane by Dr. Parsons, the resident physician, He then sued for $20,000 damages, saying that he suffered unutterable horrors during the five days; that it was a conspiracy between bis family and the physicians, and that wien he was discharged he found bimself incapacited for business and his laundry gone to wreck. The physicians say Jacob was so violent tnat, on the representations of his family, they be: lieved it necessary to put bim under restraint; that they examined him, and believe he was actually ingane at the time they signed the certificate, and that as to the laandry, it is carried on by his wife and daughters.

Journal indicates that Saline county, IiL., is in- vested by an orgenized band of robbers, who are committing outrages in Harrisburg and its neighborhood. Several murders have recently been committed by masked men, and a number ofrobberies committed. Night before last the circuit clerk's office was entered by means of false keys and a largesum of money ss tothe county was stolen. This was the thir time that particular office had been entered by robbers. Tuesday night the county clerk’s office was entered and seventy indictments, principal - ly iseued against saloon keepers, were stolen, making the fourth burglary at’ this building within @ehorttime. Daring the last few days the outrages toot up one murder and two rob- berles. WhoLesaLe PiuNDERING OF TAB MAILS.— A dispatch from Richmond gives further particuiars ef the late mail robberies in that city. Andrew Harris, a colored driver who had charge of the wagon which takes the northern mails to and from the Kichmond depot, whose arrest has been mentioned, had ahearing betore United States Commissioner Pleasants, and was committed to await the action of the grand jury in the a E geniucpe packager ere found on his person four Tetters, and a eearch for bis quarters brought to light ‘checks, dratts, mouey-orders, photo- grephs, &c. It is thought the losses of paper representing money which have been missed since these robberies first commenced will aggregate about §200,000. = Wh you se@ & woman winding her tech in a horse car may make up your find that the nas mot bad a wateh very ng. * 1B A!
