THE PROPOSED New NATIONAL LIsRARY.— The committee of architectural experts ap- pointed by the joint Congressional committce on the library has decided that the national library cannot well be accommodated in the Capitol building, and has recommended the erection of a new building.

The Appropriations Available for ‘Street Work. A LETTER FROM COMMISSIONER DENT. Editor Star:—As the explanation in regard to -the appropriation for street improvement and repairs, kindly furnished in your columns on the Sth Instant, may not be sufficient to correct the misapprehension” which seems to exist on the subject, the following statement may prop- erly be added: By section 3 of the act of 1th June, 1878, under which the present board of Cofhmissioners 1s organized, they are required 2 ganas oe Becta of a jury and 9 Con; imajes of the municipal expenses of the fistrice of Columbia; and, to the extent that these estimates are approved, te Por is required to appropriate from the United States ‘Treasury fi a pt centum thereof. By sec- tion 13 of act any increase of the Dis- tiict debt is prohibited under severe penalties. AS our estimates of expenditures are made a year in advance they must necessarily be, to a darge extent, conjectural; and as no debt can lawiully be contracted the expenditures must be strictly Umited by the amount of taxes col- lected in cash without regard to the amount estimated. And as the accounting offlvers of the Treasury and the appropriation committees of Congress have construed the act of 11thfune, sis, to Mean thatthe Commissioners can ex- pend of the fifty per cent contribution made by Congress the same amount only as may be col- lected from tax-payers, it follows necessarily that, if the collections fall short of the esti- mates, the expendilures must be proportionably curtailed without reference to the amount ap- Lee ‘0 state the case plainly, the amount appro- he fiscal year ending 30th June, issi, 42 , of which amount the District is required to furnish one-half or $! 328.67, and the United States the other half. Now suppose the District collects only $1,600,000, the expend- ivures for the year must necessarily be curtailed $22: ; that Is, the amount of deficiency in tax collections would be withheld from the United States contribution. And as the appro- priation for street improvement alone admits of curtailment, the entire defitiency of $225,0:0 ipust fall on that item, which 1s $300,000; and the balance of $75,000 would be the mit of ex- Penditure for street improvement under the appropriation for year enaing 30th June, 183i. ‘rom this statement, those interested in the replacement of decayed wood pavements must see the importance to themselves of prompt pay ‘ment Of all taxes, as the Commissioners are forbidden, under penalty, to anticipate the rev- enues for this or any other purpose. J. DENT. Political Notes. The advice given in some quarters to Gon Hancock not to resign his commission tn the army 1s regarded by the Philadelphia Ti:n’s as hot judicious, since to take that step ‘wouid give confidence to the democratic voters by con- Vincing them that he himself expected to b> elected.” But suppose he doesn’t expect it; isn’t the sacrifice then a little too great? The statement that Senator Conkling Intended going to Europe fs denied by the New York Commercial Advertiser, That paper says he proposes remaining here and giving his entire attention to the success of the repubilean party, not only in New York, but in other states, and adds that it will be no fault of Senator Conkling if Garfield and Arthur are noi clected. Ex-Representative Stenger denies the report circulated some time ago that he had with- drawn from the congressional canvass in the Isth Pennsylvania district. He declares he will Temain in the field until the convention decides the contest. The Messenger, an old established democratic paper published at Fremont, Ohio, in an edi- torial article In its issue for last Thursday, de- clared in favor of Garfield for President. A meeting of soldiers of the late war was held at the Astor House in New York yesterday, at which the National Veteran Hancock Associa- tion was formed. Among those present were Gov. McClellan, of N. J.; Gens. W. F. Smith, Franklin, Slocum, McQuade, and Woodward, of N.Y. It was decided to establish clubs in ‘all the northern and western states, “ Hon. A. H. Pettibone has been nominated for Congress by the republicans of the 1st Tennes- See district, now represented by Hon. R.L. Tay- lor, who beat Mr. P. two years ago. Allis not peaceful in the democratic family in Pennsylvania, The old feud in Philadelphia still continues, and the leaders of the factions are going for each other's scalps In a very biood thirsty way, while In Pittsburg the situation fs nearly as bad. So far Senator Wallace has fall- ed to secure reconciliation, and it ts thought nothing short of the aj ance of Gen. Han- cock on the scene, with an ofl crusein one hand and an olive branch and a few prospec- Uvely signed blauk commissions in the other, will bring about a proper state of feeling. The Chicago ticket will be supported by the business men of the country, who are satistied with the condition of things. pleased with the prospect of good times, and want to let well enough alone.—Bujlalo Commercial. Secretary Thompson 1s to open the campaign at Terre Haute, Ind., this evening. The republicans of the 26th district of Penn- Sylvania have nominated the Hon. J. D. Mc- dunkin for Representative in Congress. The Denver 7rivune says that itis “quite | sew lee there ele) two democratic tickets the fleld in Colorado before the election. The Chicago Times, which at least may be regarded as impartial, says: “Those who im- agine that the Grant men in this part of the country are either dejected or disaffected are ukely to find themselves much mistaken before many weeks have gone by.” GEORGE W. FRxost, of Omaha, ex-Indian agent, who was charged by a special agent of the Treasury department with mans & defaulter fo the government, has settled all his accounts, and recelved a treasury draft for several hun- dred dollars representing the balance due him by the government. MR, Inisu, the chiet of the bureau of engrav- ing and printing of the Treasury department Stated yesterday at Willard’s hotel, to a com-, pany of gentlemen with whom he was in con- versation, his intention to support Gen.

New York, July 10.—A special from St. John's, N. F., says: The U. a fae anes arrived here this morning. ‘The Alliance lei St. Pierre on the 22d ult. and proceeded tn the direction of the Grand Banks. During the interval, which was marked by auspicious ‘weather, the work of surveying and mapping the numerous shoals In the neighborhood of the Virgin rocks and eastern reefs Was energeticaily carried on, and has terminated in the result of reconstructing the whole chart of the vast sys- tem of shoals that lie away to the southeast ot the Newfoundland coast. The labors of the Kearsarge ang Vandalia over the ame Wak Will bé host effectively supplemented by the Alliance, and a scientific location given to shoals and rocks along the Grand Banks that hitherto were but vaguely and only approxt- mately detined. The Alliance will recoal and refit fn St. John’s and proceed to compiete the work of survey. The most interesting feature of the next course will be a search for the famous Nile rock discovered last August by Capt.
