Wasninoron, Feb. 3, 1847. | The Smitheonian Inslitute—The Three Millions Appro- | priation Bill—Newspaper Ware The constitution of the United States prohibiting mom- bers of Congress from holding any civil office under the government during their membership, a question: has arisen as to the legality and validity of the acts of the | Regents of the Smithsonian Institute, ral of them it | being members of Congress. It is contended that the | Regency is a civil office under the gov<rnment, and con- | sequently cannot be held, nor its duties discharged by a | member of Congress. The question has been laid before | one ofthe associate judges of the Supreme Court of the | United States by a prominent member of the Board of | Regents. Tao opinion of the learned judge, given infor- 4 of | mally, is strongly in favor of the validity of the acts of the Board of Regents, | cision is based upon precedent in the construction of the law. The constitution of the State of New York de- , Clares that judges of the Supreme Court shall hold no office of emolument or trust, and yet thero are judges of the Supreme Court who are Regeuts of Union College and other learned institutions. Whether their right to be so has ever been questioned, | am not prepared to | say. A great deal of fault has been found with the Regents, on various pretences, I am Inclined to believe, without foundation. I am not prepared to endorse all their actions and selections, neither would [ arrogate to myself the province of censor without understanding the reasons by which they have been guided. It has been charged upon them thot undue favor was shown to Mr. Renwick, the successful designer of a plan of the edifice, but the explanation given by the Regents | entirely refutes the accusation. It seems that proposals were issued inviting all whochose to enter into compe- | tition, to send in plans according to their taste, the merits | of which plans were to be decided by the building com- mittee ofthe Board. A number of plans were sent in, | among others, one by Mr. Renwick, of New York, which | pleased the committee bost. They, however, struck out some ornaments, and made some trifling alterations in its dimensions. They aflirm that in any of these altera- tions they did not in the slightest degree borrow from any other plan submitted to them, as has been charged upon them. It happened, moreover, that Mr. Renwick was the only compelitor who exactly complied with the requirements of the committee in M@rnishing his plan, and this exactitude, no doudt, in some degree, disposed the committee in his favor. His plan, as it was presented tothe commilteo, was the best; and, after adopting it, they insist they had arightto make such alterations in | itaato them seemed fit. Mr. Renwick’s plan is of the later Norman style of ar” chitecture, and is highly ornamental, without being moretricious or oxtiavegant. ‘The anpual expenditure of the Institute will amount to | hirty-one thousand dollars—fifteen thousand to be de- voted to tho collection of books, works of art, scientific | experiments, and to giving the odifice the character of a @rand national depot of literature, science, and art—the remaining sixteen thousand to be expended in the diflu. | sion, throughout'the} country, of useful, knowledge by the most practicable means, such as cheap publications, lectures, kc. This arrangement is the result of a com. promise between conflicting opinions in the Board—one ; party being desirous of giving the Institute the charac- ter of a solid national establishment, confining all or most of the expenditures to its immediate locality, avd the other of making the expenditures more diffusive, ‘Tho library,is to be a supplemental one—that is, it is to contain such works as are not to be found in any other library in the country. Catalogues of oll the libraries in the Union are to be obtained, and whatever branches of knowledge are found to be deficient in those libraries, are to be first selected, and afterwards a classified ex- | tension of the various collections is to be made, so that whatever works are not to be found in any of the various | literary and collegiate institutions throughout the coun- try, may be procured at the Institution. Catalogues | also, of the various European libraries are to be ob- tained, and thus the librarian, if applied to for any work if it be not inthe Iastituie’s collection, can direct the applicant in what home or foreign library it may be found, und being in communication with foreign libra. ries, will be able to borrow copies of rare works for tho curious student. Mr Sevier ge’ in the Senate yesterday, of a fact which I stated a month ago, namely, that the administration does not con- | template the annexation of more Mexican territory than California ond New Mexico, I trust the three millions appropriation bill will be passed at once. Its considera. tien will be resumed in the Senate to-morrow, but I sup- pose there will be a long discussion of the war, aud the policy of the administration There isun amusing war in progress betweon tho ri val firms of Blairand Rives, and Ritchie and Heiss, in relation to the Congressional reports, Heiss accusing the Globe men of plogiarizing from the Union reports for the Congressional Globe, and Rives retorting the charge of plagiariem, and accusing the new firm of being in- debted to Limself and partner. ‘The contest is as yet confined to the juniors of either firm the seniors keep ing. doubtless, in reserve for the heavy fighting, if it should come to that. Tho sffair is extromaly amusing ‘There is another war in progress between the Union and Intelligencer, conceraing the oploions of t Times on the metitvcf th apactivechampions—Mr_ Polk on the Mir Webster onthe other The Union the Tines ox Mr. Webster, and the er quotes it agoinst Mr Polk. Both estop themseives from giving the great London journal inevidence, in behalf of theit | respuctive clients, for itis a maxim in liw, that if one portion of a document is admitt.d in evidence. the en tire must be read and submitied to the jury, toe op! site party having # right to usa it What then is (he use of quoting the London Times? That journal is not infallible, and least of ail should it be looked uy to as the exponent of sound American doctrine, cither onthe subject of the war, or en the financial policy of the go vernment.

He could not give his assent to any reflection pen the conduct of that ofiver, nor of the other brave officers engaged ia that capitule: tion. Mr. Arenison moved to lay the resolution upon the table, which motion was lost, 21 to 26. ‘Tho question then recurring on the motion to strike out the proviso, Mr. Speight called for the ayes and noes.
