4 fattire, processes ana consequences of earth- quakes are duly referred. A telegraphic de- spatch from Jamaica which we published yes- terday, states that Professor Delisser, of Kingston, who, it will be remembered by the readers of the Hegaxp, predicted # long time in advance the days on which the earthquakes would visit St. Thomas, Chile and Peru, has also predicted that there will be another earthquake in California about the 9th or 11th of December. If this new prediction shall be verified we shall begin to think that Professor Delisser has at length discovered the law of earthquakes, Unless he has already patented his discovery and ceded his rights to Mr. Seward, who may find them convenient in making new real estate purchases in the West Indies and the Pacific Ocean, we shall be glad to publish it for the benefit of the scien- tific world. Perhaps the learned professor may, by and by, discover the mysterious but apparently immediate connection existing be- tween these physical convulsions and the political and religious perturbations which simultaneously agitate the earth. Amprovements ef Washingtou—A New Idea ef State Boarding Houses for Members ef Congress. The Suporintendent of Public Buildings at Washington, in his annual report to Con- gress, had a good many public improve- ments to recommend, including the re- moval of the cnuseway part of the Long Bridge and the substitution of wooden piles or arches of iron, the dredging of the Potomac in front of the city, the extension of the Capitol grounds, a general repairing and refurnishing of the White House for President Grant, &c., &c. But the Commis- sioner had a new recommendation to make, to wit :—That each State small build and furnish houses in Washington for its Senators and Representatives. This is a brilliant idea, and is suggestive of many advantages to the mem- bers of Congress of each State and to their conatituents, in their communications with each other, But if this project be left to the States it will never be carried out. A better plan would probably be to let the general govern- ment build a grand Congressional hotel near the Capitol, with all the modern improvements, including suites of rooms for members with families on the lower floors and comfortable arrangements for the bachelor members in the attic; and, to make the thing complete, there should be also connected with the establish- ment a Congressional tailor shop, hat shop, ‘shoe shop and millinery shop. With all the members of both houses in one grand estab- lishment no constituent from any State would bavo to hunt over half the city for his par- ticular Senator or Representative; and more- over, in being all under the same roof, and supplied from the hotel with every thing by contract, the members of both houses would at all times be at home and convenient to each other for purposes of consultation, Then with a military guard at all the approaches to the hotel the lobby could be driven off. We subinit to the Commissioner of Public Build- ings, therefore, the plan of a Congressional hotel in lieu of his plan of a string of State boarding houses. The hotel might be let by contract at a sliding scale of prices for board- ers, for victuals and drinks, their rooms, gas and fire to be free to the members, the house, gas aud coal, hats, shoes and clothing com- plete, from overcoais to neckties, and the latest ladies’ fashions being supplied by the goverament, Is not this a good idea and in keeping with the general progress of the age? Tre PrestpENt AND THE WasHBURN Cor- \nnsrowpeNncs. ~The President’ tells us in his Message that the Washburn correspondence with Paraguay “has not yet reached the United States.” It is evident that our Execu- tive is behind the times. His ignorance is due to the fact that he does not read the papers. In our editions of November 23 and December 3 we gave a complete summary of the whole correspondence, with an editorial analysis showing how disgracefully our Minister had conducted himself. We have every desire to see our State Department respected for the vigor of its administration, and therefore are willing to extend to It occasionally some of the advantages of an efficient organization. If Mr. Seward desires, we will furnish him the entire correspondence by return mail. Any other little favor of this kind which will throw light upon the darkness and ignorance which appear to envelop the foreign portfolio will also, upon application, receive prompt and courteous consideration. Tar Boarp oF Supervisors—A Szoret Sxssion.—Mr. Andreas Willmann has en- tered his protest against ‘‘the proceedings of the Board of Supefvisors held on Saturday, the 5th inst.,” as he considers said meeting to have been ‘illegally held, and therefore all the proceedings thereof to be null and void.” He bases this charge on the fact that ‘‘all the members of the Board were not invited to said meeting.” The inferences follow. that Mr. Willmann was not wanted at this meeting ; that they had some business in view which he might interfere with, and that it was best to leave him out, If so, however, his protest ought to be enforced, on the rule that where “all ia not open all is not honest.” In this view the taxpayers may have a larger interest in the matter than Mr. Willmann. Tux Latest Carpget-Bacorr.—Ex-Judge Noah Davis, of Orleans county, has joined the rauks of the carpet-baggers, and will hence- forth stand shoulder to shoulder with Sam Cox and Jack Rogers in that famous brigade. Dolieving that the next United States Senator ought to hail from New York city, Judge Davis has packed up his woollen socks and paper shirt collars and made the metropolis his political home, We fear, however, that he will shore the fate of Jack Rogers rather than enjoy the success that has atylast crowned the efforts of Sunset Cox, and thus keep up the current odds of two to one against the carpet- baggers.
