Some of the alleged sécrets of the Cincinnati convention leak out in Washington. Oneis thar on the night preceding the nomination Hon Carter Harrison of the Illinots delegation tel2- graphed Hon. William R. Morrison that the Illinois delegation had dectt mene Hancock a solid vote for the presidency, and that if Han- cock Was nominated the same influences which were expected to bring his nomination about would work to have Morrison second on the ticket. Itis said Morrison replied to the fele- gram that he was too poor to accept such a Nomination, and suggested that Eaoglish of Indiana be the vice presidential candidate. JOHN KELLY'S VICTORY. One Of the representatives of THE STAR trav- ied on Saturday from Cincinnati to Harrisbarg: ith Mayor Cooper, of New York, Controlier Green, of the same city, Editor Hurlburt, of the World, and other Loerie democratic anti-Tam- many lights. The opinion of these gentlemen was that John Kelly was honest tn his dram- atic peace overtures in the convention, but that after all Kelly would immeasurably bene- fit himself. There were to have been three Uckets In the fleld fortke county oMces in New York county—Tammany anti-Tammany and the republican ticke ‘The anti-Tammany men felt confident that under the circumstances they have elected their entire tic shorn Kelly of patronage and left him out in te cold. Under a reconciliation of the factions, they fear that Kelly will now place no Ucket in the field, but will demand that some of his followers be placed on the regular tckew. It is In this sense that some of the regulars speak of Kelly’s victory. Mr. Henry Huribert, the editor of the Wor’d, is enthustastically of the opinion that the democratic national tk would be elected. SOME WASHINGTON SECRETS leaked out in Cincinnati, Itis known that the chairmanship of the national republican com- mittee was offered to Don Cameron and by him refused; to Wm. E. Chandler next, and by him refused; to Platt, of New York, and by him re- tused, and Marshall Jewell, of Connecticut, to whem it was next offered, now holds its ac- ceptance under advisement. TRERE 18 A SECRET OF THE HANCOCK “BOOM” in Cincinnatt worth letting out. About tive days before the nomination was made a score Irlends held a consultation at No, , Cincinnal, which was the Han- headquarters, At this gathering it was urged that some money was needed for legiti- mate expenses; whereupon Senator Walla Blanton Duncan, E.Joha Elis, Col. Joe M Kibben and others, chipped in and raised After Hancock was nominated they again met to settle their bills. There was ten days’ rent of a room to be paid for at $50 per day, making $0, One hundred doltars was spent in print- ing, and another hundred for a streamer and transparencies. Tuls was the sum total of the expenditures. In settling up there was $57 lett to be returued pro rata to subscribers. Colonel Mekibben made a motion that in view of the glorious sequel of the convention, the $57 b> burned as a Hancock bontire. iis motion did Ot prevail, and the $57 was returned to those who gave it. This $i00 was the sum total of money expended in Mancock’s beaalf, and the entire amount was raised after his friends reached Cincinnath. CAMPAIGN NOTES. Gen. Garfleld’s Ohio [riends_ who were in Cin- cinnatt say that the general's letter of accept- ance has been written and will be made pubdtic about the 12th ot Juiy, the date set for tue meeting of the national cominittee in New Yurk city. it'was a matter of some indignation in Cin- cinpall among republicans that Senator Conk- ling had tailed to cail on Gen. Garield while in Unis elty, but that Gen. Garfleld had called on Senator Conkling.

However, to the priceless , archives of the governinent tn its marble aud granite palaces fire has done most lasting and irreparable dama; On December 15, 1 all the records and models of the Patent’ of were destroyed by fire. A senate report, date January 9, 1837, states “National pride must | now stand rebuked by the improvicence which exposed so many memorials and evidences ot the superiority of American genius to the de struction which has overtaken them.” 7 erection of a new building was at ouce auth ized, of which the south Wing was compieted and occupied in the year 1540; the east wing In iSi9; the west Wing In 1556, ahd the north wing in 1867, With a masstve marble building, the popular faith grew that whatever might be the security offered to the records of the government else. where, the important and Valuable archives sheltered under {t8 roofs were beyond the reach of accidents. In addition to the records, | original drawings and models of the latent | office, which, by themselves, form a collection of inestimable value and world wide fame, the s of the G and of the Bureau of Indian Affairs were, by degrees, | transferred to this building. | On the forenoon of September 24, 1877, a | ral alarm was sounded—the Patent ofice son fire! Before long the great danger wa: disclcsed, and caused intense anxiety. tour wings of the building are each about 275 by 69 feet in size; have three stories, and are arsanged around a court-yard, 50 as to form a hollew square. The model-halis comprise the Whole of the third story; they include four grand hails, opening in to each other, and aflording a promenade around the four sides of the quadrangle. ‘This great gallery, ing about 200,000 models of Americ Ucn, is trequented daily by visitors from of the nation—most for instruction, and much for pleasure. Two of these four halls, With thelr whole contents, were, within a few hours, totally consumed, from floor to roof, leaving the Dare side walls standing, with the enriched marble work on their cited and disintegrated. Apparently with the irony of fate, the terrible scourge fastened itself upon and brought down the roofs of the w and north wings, which, bet eared modern fire-proof work, while thos» of eather date, formed exclusively of timber, were, | with difficulty, placed beyond the reach of the devouring element by the strenuous services of the fire brigade. After protracted discusstons on the recon- | struction of the building, it was decided by Con- | gress that the external architecture should not | uged; that the reconstruction should. as | S possible, approach absolute tire-proot Work, and that there should be full latitude | iven In the disposition of the space, as well as in the architecture decoration within. Footing on these premises. Congress adopted e | the plas of Messrs, Cluss « Schulze, architects | of Washington, and the work, under the super- intendency of the architects, controlled by a board of supervision, approaches completion very rapidly. Absolute fire-proof construction Was construed to imply the absence of all com- bustible matter ad the protection of all ex- posed metal work by thick casings of fire-proot material. In explanation cf the illustra- tion of the new design, it is necessary to state that the windows in the old sidewalls do not reach above half height of the model-rooms, since they are arranged fo suit the exterior architecture of the building. ‘This necessitated recourse of skylights, which are not looked upon favorably in Most trying climate. Hence, continuous double skylights are provided along the centre of the halls, with an intermediate space from which sidelight is thrown on and through the galleries. The outer skylight ts covered in with heavy hammered glass, laid on ropes and cork, the inner one with ribbed glass,and by this a mellow, agreeable light is transmitted to the halls. The space between the skylights fs ventilated to such a de e as to prevent sweating by con- densation of vapor after rapid changes of the Temperature abd conditions of the atmosphere ‘The objects on exhibition require a close inspec tion, hence alcoves were arran; on the main tloor and on fio pal with well holes in the centre of the gallery floors for the transmission of light to the less favored portions of the rooms. Warned by the disaster which ata time endangered the whole building, the construction of s0-Called false ceilings was carefuliy avoided. Perfect satety and bygiente advantages were in- sured by the use of rooting arches formed of hollow fire-proof blocks.

Whea the whole cubic contents of the rooms were se- cured for useful occupation, and two galleries are introduced where formerly there Was but md of same height as that of the new galle- es. ‘To obviate the injurious effects of expansion and contraction, experienced with metal roofs of wide span, during the high temperature of a conflagration, the halls have been arranged for a centre nave and two aisles, by two rows of solid Plers which are carried up for support of the roofs, These plers are spaced transversely, as well as longitudinally, to suit the points @ap- pui in the lower stories, and are built of bonded brick work laid in Portland cement, as the most suitable material for fire-proof construction. They form a prominent part jn a marked style, the outgrowth of a modern system of construc: Uon, the solid reality of which is admitted to be in conflict with the dicta of literary dilettanti. The piers are tied, in pairs, by wrought-iron girders stretched’ across the cen- {ve nave, these are surmounted by decorated ga- bles which subdivide the inner skylights rhyth- mically into compartments, and establish for the cultivated eye a counter'poise to the pres- sure exerted On tue centre by the inclined planes of the roofs over the aisles.
