THE TaLLapoosa.—The Navy department ts in- formed that the U. 8. 8. Tallapoosa arrived at the New York navy yard at8.30 a. m. yesterday from Boston, and the Powhatan and Nantucket arrived at 9.15 ‘a.m. from Norfolk, Va., and anchored off ‘West 23d street. Tue Comet Samp TO Have BEEN SEEN NEAR THE SuN.—The dispatch in the morning papers stating that a comet had been seen in Colorado yesterday morning about 11 o'clock, five degrees from the sun, gave rise to considerable discussion in sctentific circles in this city. No definite infor- mation had been received of the observation of the celestial phenomenon other than was afforded by the brief telegram, and its accuracy was gene- rally doubted. ‘The general opinion Was that if any comet was observed it must have been the one seen in South America on the ith inst. No calculation has as yet been completed of the orbit of this comet, but it Is thought that when it leaves the sun {it may come in this direction. Whether or not a comet was seen, or it was only the result of the western imagination, it is certain that nothing of this sort could be observed within five degrees of the sun even, granted the loftier alti- tude and the clearer atmosphere of Colorado. Its apparent distance would then have not been much greater than the apparent diameter of the sun, and its Observation at this distance 1s a physical impossibility. Astronomers here regard the state- ment as probably true, with the exception of the distance. which would'be stated with more accu- Tacy as 25 or 55 degrees. PERSONAL.—Rev. Wm. Paret, D.D., rector of the Epiphany, arrived in New York, from Liverpool on Sunday, and is expected home to-day on the Mmited express.—Mr. Jne.

STORAGE ROOM FOR THE TONER LIBRARY AND OTHER BOOKS IN THE CRYPT—THE SENATE CHAMBEK BRIGHTENED UP—THE GRAND STAIRCASE, BTC. Just now there fs a good deal of activity about the Capitol bui!ding, which has been repainted outside and fnstde and regilded where needed. The touch of the painter and gilder in the Senate chamber fs quite noticeable, and serves to relieve the somewhat somber light. ‘The two temporary brick inclosures under the rotunda of the Capitol are complete, save the painting, which 1s now being done. The one to the right as the second floor of the rotunda Is reached 1s to be used for the Toner library. This Ubrary was donated by Dr. Toner, of this city, to Congress, provided it should be kept together and be Kown As the Toner collection. ‘The second in- closure, to the left, is to be used as a store room for accumulated books of the Congressional library. ‘These inclosures are contemplated to be temporary only “until the new Congressional brary 1s pro- vided for. At the last session of Congress an appropriation was made to commence work on the grand statr- case for the east..ront of the Capitol. The design 1s one of rich architectural effect, and contemplates a majestic staircase at each end of the bullding, to be approached by a handsome tasselated walk.” A contract was recently awarded to Middleton & Lane, of this city, to commence the work, and they have already begun operations. The Senate elevator 1s being repaired so as to accelerate Its speed. The old One was one of the first pateated, and the intention 1s to modernize it. Se ee The Garfield Monument Fair. At the headquarters of the fair committee at the Ebbitt house last evening the board of direc- tion, Mr. J. W. Thompson in the chair, held a lively and protracted session. The spacious par- lors were filled; the chairmen of many of the state boards being also present. The all-tm- portant question of space was considered and dis- posed of by adopting and directing to be issued the following: “Exhibits shall consist of two classes—first and mainly, articles donated te the cause, to be dis- posed of at the close of the exhibition in’such man- her as the board of direction shail determine; 2d, articles loaned for the occasion and to be returned to the lender. The board of direction will deter- mine and announce at an early day what articles can be'recelved as loans to be exhibited, As far as practicable the various states and territories of the Union shall be represented by commissioners or organizations duly. authorized for the purpose, and exhibits shall be made collectively under their direction subject to the control of the board of direction. all exhibits shall be transmitted from the states whereof their owners are residents through the organizations representing the differ- ent states or territories of the Unton. All propo- sitions to exhibit as well as all correspondence aj pertaining thereto, should be addressed or sul mitted to Jonn W. Thompson, president of the board of direction, Washington, D. C., to be by him referred to the’several state’ organizations for their consideration and report.” AS THERE APPEARS TO BB SOME MISAPPREHENSION as tothe effectof the action of the directors— which seems to be the impression conveyed by the tenor of the debate, rather than the final action— the management authorize the statement that nothing in thelr action warrants any diminution in their work or the methods inaugurated by the state boards of commissioners. Space rill be pro- vided For all accepted exhibits, all propositions for donations and exhibitions Will be received and carefully considered, and only such exhibits are Hable to be rejected’ as are obviously fiupractica~ ble. This is the course pursued by all like enter- prises. ‘The state boards are requested to go ahead in their very efficient work, in the assurance that all the ‘space they may require will be provided, subject only to such review by the board of dir tion as may result from a consideration of inter- ests involved. The Capitol in any event will be the grand central point of the exhibition,and such other space as may be demanded will be’ ready in due tne, and become annexes to the main exhl- iuon, STATE BOARDS.

Courtney at once took the lead, and at the quarter-mile stake he led Ten Eyck by half a length, with Dempsey half a length behind Ten Eyck. At the turn Ten Eyck was so near Courtney's buoy that Courtney stopped rowing, and Ten Eyck turned ahead; time, 1:45. Courtney turned four seconds later." Dempsey was a long way behind, and turted the puoy fn 11:45. On the first halt mile of the revurn Courtney spurted, and soon took the lead again. One mile from the turn Courtney was one length ahead. He and Ten Eyck were both pulling hard at the rate of thirty strokes @ minute, a slight breeze having sprung up mak- ing the water jumpy. A mile and a quarter from the turn Courtney was leading Ten Eyck by two lengths, and he passed the home buoy an easy winner by the same lead. Time, 20:59}. Demp- Sey Was a half mile behind.

SaRatoGa, Sept. 19.—The situation here ts a high mixture and the feeling runs high. There are three sides to the contest and the Platt- Carpenter section, in addition. The sides are the administration, the Cornell men, the half-breed, Wadsworth contingent and the Platt-Carpenter dark horse compromise set. They are all busy and boastful. All factions figure out on paper a sure success, but the delegates have not all arrived, and there will not be a full representa- tion until evening. It cannot be determined until they do arrive with a certainty wiilch faction will win. ‘They say 1n the contest the administration 18 on Secretary Folger’s side, and the chances are In his favor. “All of the appointees of Gov. Cor- nell are here working for Lis nomination, and they embrace the managers of his canvass, with the blowing and tooting of Al. Daggett thrown tn, and Sam D. Payn, who 1s sald to have obtained a slice of the health office fees, giving his aid in the same direction. They have been playing a game of bluff and a canvass of wind, and have to their own satisfaction blown Folger and Wadsworth both out of the canvass. They don’t stay out, and this seriously worrles them. Superintendent Ike Baker, of the state prisons, as- serts that the Cornell men have concluded their work, that there 15 no raore to do, and that Cor- nell Will be nominated on the first. ballot sure. When asked for a canvass of the delegates that Would produce that result he could not produce it, but insisted that the result had been fixed by the capture of the Wadsworth men. The latter de- clare that they have not. been captured, and In in- formal conference of the leaders of that half-breed contingent they have manifested a disposition to stick to Wadsworth, belteving that they hold the balance of power, and by remaining firm can force one side or the other to them, and nominate Wads- worth.

Smythe,Geo. Bliss and Congressman Crowley gives Folger 256 votes on the second or the third ballot, which nominates him. Thomas C. Platt’s can? vass gives him more than that from the best information that can be obtained. It appears certain that Folger will lead in the first ballot and Cornell second. If the vote was taken to-day neither Folger hor Cornell would start with two hundred yotes, but as affairs are now drifting the straggling votes are towards Folger. He 1s likely to start with over two hundred when the balloting 1s reached, and unless there is a falling to pieces of the Wadsworth strength Cornell will be below two hundred. It turns out that the de- featof Foiger in his Own county arises from the operations of ex-Senator Hicks, who fought Fol- ger because he appointed a man to office who turned the congressional delegates last year against Hicks and for Wadsworth. Preparations are belng made for a contest on temporary chalr- man. The administration side count on that issue 275 votes, or 27 more thana majority. If that issue made With that result, Folger’s nomination ts only a question of balloting. ‘The Cornell men in their calculation on his nomination put down all of the uninstructed delegates and the Wadsworth vote for lim. This they will not get, ani cannot hold the uninstructed for Cornell.
