—HOW OUR PATRIOTIC SPEECHES ARE
PREPARED.
Washington, July 11, 18 M»
Tlio most costly and wonderful front
of the Capitol faces away from Wash
ington City ; but the quietest and cool
est face or the building is that which
overlooks the shady grounds at the head
of Pennsylvania avenue, and of this,
the very centre is Library Hall.
It comprises much of the main build
ing of the original capitol; the majes
tic-iron dome directly overhanging it,
and close to its interior entrance are the
most venerable and historic places—the
old Supreme Court, the old House, the
old Senate. From ita windows Is afford
ed a glorious prospect, made soft and
sufleruble close to the eye by the foliage
in the sloping lawn and the plash of
waters in the basin where Thomas Ben
ton stopped to drink every morning be
fore going to his desk, aud chequered,
and sunny, and rolling, further away,
by the cluster of the city, the silver of
the river, the stride of the high Arling
ton Heights.
Within this Library Hull, the best
men of the country have felt their little
ness, sitting in silent alcoveß to hear
what letters had to say for their yet un
delivered argument, and gaining Insight
as they gleaned of the methods of the
Master Orators who had passed the
fever of statesmanship and left the ut
terances to discourage imitation.
This library is in great part repro
\ duced every year in the address of our
public men. The Globe may be called
J 'reissue of it in parts. There is no
agiarist so gieat as au orator. But a
»zen or so of his models have lived.—
emosthenes, Cicero, Cato, Chatham,
Mirabeau, Webster—these are the men,
the rest are the mimics.
The Congressional Library is assum
ing, by the spacious extensions of it,
now almost completed, and by the more
generous contributions which are filling
eveu these new corridors, a place of dig
nity among the collections of the world.
It lias now in it 135,000 volumes, with
capacity for 50,000 volumes yet unbought.
HISTORY OF THE LIBRARIES OF THE
UNITED STATES.
In 1802 an act of Congress permitted
the purchase of SI ,000 worth of books for
the use of the two Houses. Only 3,000
volumes stood in the library when the
British burned the Capitol in 1815. Then
Thomas Jefferson, being in straitened
circumstances, offered to sell his private
library of 7,000 books to the United
States. They were appraised at 523,000,
and paid for in bonds of the United
States. To this transaction the Feder
alist party, on personal grounds, made
a stoutopposition. The library of Jeffer
son was not the leading, private collec
tion of the country, but was well adapt
ed to a lawyer and politician, and to
such nleasant smatter of morals and
metaphysics as Jefferson loved to in
dulge in. No oneconspieuous donation
of books was ever received from a private
individual, and Lho general yearly up
propriution for the purelmse of books
continued to be from SI,OOO to $2,000 a
year. Now and then the British Mu
seum and the French Jiihliolkcquc Jm
periale sent a package of their own
publications to its shelves; but in 1801
a defective flue caused a lire to break
into the library, and of the 55,000 vol
umes there assembled but 20,000 were
saved. The firemen, with a traditional
disregard for letters, introduced a hose
into the library, and wet everything
from JosephUH to Kossuth. The value
of the books lost, marketably, was prob
ably $200,000.
in 1552 tiie old library hud been re
built, according to the designs of Thus.
11. Walters, at a cost of §U2,(IU(), entirely
of iron. Jt was in 1852 that Congress
gave its only liberal appropriation ($75,
000), since which time the common sum
devoted to this cause has been $7,000 a
year. Next year SS<>,UUU will be asked
for, to meet accruing indebtedness,
which is as many dollars asT.be British
Museum annually receives pounds. A
recent act of Congress transferred to this
place the 40,01)0 volumes of the .Smith
sonian institute.
THE EXTENSION.
The two new wings have cost $lOO,OOO.
Their ceilings, shelves, walls,and lloors
are of solid wrought iron. Only the
hooks are combustible. They increase
four times the former capacity of the
place. The shelves have a uniform
space between them, aud the bottom
shelf, around the entire library is prac
tical, so that it can be removed to admit
the great folios. There are three lloors
or stories in the main library, and four
stories in the wings; these stories are
common in each wing, but are gained
from below by two stairways only, in
the main hall, which is the south front
of the capitol, the architectural decora
tions next the ceiling take up the fourth
story’s space, all of which is utilized iu
• the extensions. On each lloor there are
44 alcoves for readers, making upward
of 140 in all. Aud there are, besides,
tables iu the new wings, which will
make the library accommodate as many
as 300 readers at a time.
The ornamentation of the library is
not unlike that of the Astor Library,
too ornate, possibly, in the main corri
dor, but not glaringly so; while in the
wings care has been taken to subdue all
decorations to a consistency with the
quiet and contemplate purposes for
which the place is to be used. The
plaster busts and casts of Socrates, Plato,
and other-worthies, which adorned the
library some years ago, were, happily,
destroyed by the tire. They were cheap.
They turned the library into an image
vender’s shop, and brought into it big
booted admirers, who disturbed the
readers. In respect to the material of
the door, the library is defective. Every
step on the hard marble disturbs the
reader, while in the British Museum
the doors are of gutta percha, on which
the wheels of chairs and the march of
visitors is noiseless. The gilding to which
we have adverted as possibly out of
keeping, will probably be found not too
bright for the dark days of Washington,
when even the soul of Carlyle would be
uneasy.
THE LIBRARY DIRECTORY.
There ia probably no gentleman in
America possessing a more practical
knowledge of books and authors than
the present Librarian of Congress, Mr.
' A. It. Spoflbrd of North-Eastern Ohio,
an appointee of Mr. Lincoln. One of
his lirst labors has been the cataloguing
of the books, a conscientious work which
comprises 1,2(10 pages. He has given a
stimulus to the collection which has
already made it of credit throughout
the country and foreign nations, and it
is to be hoped that in this case, at least,
the country will possess one public
savant not subject to the limitations of
The -Congressional Li
brary now outnumbers in the quantity
of its works any collection in America.
Two hundred thousand dollars spent in
collecting books in Europe would make
it so invaluable that the Capital City
would soon become a resort for scholars
of all specifications. Mr. Spoilbrd lias
eight assistants, and his control of the
Smithsonian Library will place him in
correspondence with l,o()U learned
societies in all parts of Europe. 'With
these there will be constant exchanges
of books and pamphlets. Mr. fcipollbrd
is also resolved to see that the copyright
act, demanding a copy of every printed
book to be deposited in the Library, is
also carried out to its extremity. No
copyright is valid without such deposi
tion.
curiosities of speech-making.
To this library.come all the preparers
of “set” speeches that they may find
wisdom and phrase. MeDougall, of
California, is a steady reader of Comte's
Positive Philosophy; Mr. Leming,
author of the famous Marlborough,
Hannibal and Grant speech, read 12
weeks here to get it up. Charles Sum
ner reads more books than any other
Senator and Representative ; they are
his messmates. Gratz Brown is a close
student of mental science and political
philosophy. John L. Baldwin and Mr.
Edmunds, of Vermont are attentive
readers. Conness, of California, and a
few others never drew a book from the
shelves.
The State Department has a special
library of 24,0U0 volumes, and from
these Mr. Seward gets his easy diction
' and perpetual hopefulness.— N. Y.

General Grant’s Insignia.
Since his promotion to the rank of
General, there has been an informal
meeting of General Grant’s staff and
several prominent army officers to dis
cuss' the subject of his uniform. The
conclusion arrived at was that a metal
lic Bhiefd, substituted for the large cen
tral star on the shoulder-strap, would
be a proper device to indicate the rank
of General and Commander of all the
armies of the United States,
A Leading Republican’s Opinion of tbe
Republican Party.
Henry J. Raymond is chairman of
the National Committee of the Repub
lican party. That Is the highest seat
which any man can occupy In a politi
cal party In this country. Mr. Raymond
is also a leading Republican member of
Congress. Nor isthatall. Heisowner
and editor of a leading Republican
newspaper. All that ought to consti
tute Mr. Raymond very good Republi
can authority. As such we accept him,
and would direct the careful attention
of all our readers to the following notice
of the Republican party, which we find
in Mr. Raymond’s paper of yesterday:
Bo intent, for four years, were the
electors, upon putting down the rebel
lion, that no very rigid scrutiny was
instituted as to candidates for office.
Loyalty was a sufficient, if not the only
test. We were all demanding the de
struction of Slavery as a penalty for re
bellion. But we all in favor of
forcing universal negro sufirage upon
other States, nor are wo all in favor of
negro social equality. In reference to
the latter question the Almighty estab
lished a social distinction between the
white and black raceß against which
we are not disposed to rebel.
But the rebellion ended, as it inevita
bly must have ended, in the destruction
of Slavery. It ended, also, leaving the
Northern State Governments and Con
gress under the auspices and control of
the ultra political Abolitionists, oDjoy-.
ing largely the confidence, of the people/
That confidence, however, has been
abused and betrayed. Congress met to
rush through the House of Representa
tives a bill for universal negro sufirage
in the UistrictofColumbia. The leaders
In both Houses announced their deter
mination to make negro sufirage a con
dition of restoration to the Union. The
whole power of Congress was surren
dered to a “Committee of Fifteen.”
When the popular sentiment revolted
against uuiversal negro suffrage, that
Committee adopted a scheme intended
to keep eleven Stutes out of the Union
until after the next Presidential elec
tion !
Congress, for eight months, has been
holding back the work of reconstruc
tion. It is committed, by a dozen votes,
to the monstrous falsehood and absurdi
ty that Tennessee was out of the Union,
forgetting or disregarding the fact that
in every such vote were stultifying
and condemning themselves. Tennes
see was represented in the Republican
National Convention of 1864. She was
then, if ever, out of the Union! Every
Republican member of Congress voted
for Andrew Johnson, while Tennessee
was, if ever, out of the Union ! Andrew
Johnson remained in his seat iu the
United States Senate, side by side with
Sumner, Wade, Wilson, Chandler,
Trumbull, &c., after Tennessee, if ever,
was out of the Union ! Away, then,
with fhe miserable false-pretense that
ordinances of secession took States out
of the Union. We denied it at the be
ginning and during the rebellion. It
was our best aud and strongest ground.
We rallied aud united the people
upon that ground. They gave their
money and shed their blood to dispel
the heresy of sseession, and to vindi
cate the integrity of the Union.
The occasion and necessity which
produced the Republican party, have
recurred again. That party has broken
from its anchorage aud swung from
its moorings. It is at sea with unrelia
ble pilots aud an erroneous chart.
The Congressional leaders have con
strained a Union of the conservative
elements of both parties for the sake of
the Union. They have made unprovo
ked, wanton,fierce war upon tbe Presi
dent. Tiie Republican party has been
distracted and demoralized at Washing
ton,
The Destroyed Bridge at Uarre-de-Gracc.
The bridge of the Philadelphia, Wil
mington and Baltimore Railroad Com
pany, at Havre*de*Grace, the wooden
spans of which were blown off into the
river by the tornado, on Wednesday
evening, was one of tliefinestspecimens
of bridge architecture in tills country,
aiuh next to the great English Victoria
bridge, the most expensive ever erected
by any corporation. Crossing the Sus
quehanna at a point 3,195 feet from
aiiore to shore, thirteen spans were re
quired. These spans rested upon piers,
fourteen in number, and the magnitude
of the work may be imagined when it
is known that some of these piers stand
in forty feet of water. The piers were
commenced in 1861, and were not
ready for tiie superstructure till
October last, wheu the engineers
began tiie construction of the wood
work. The bridge was known as tiie
Howe truss, each arcli consisting of four
ribs, eight by nine inches, making, with
die interstices, a beam of thirty-seven
and a half inches deep. The traces and
girders connecting and strengthening
each span made a huge mass of timber,
sufiieient in appearance to resist almost
any amount of pressure. There were
twelve of these immense spans , each
two hundred and fifty feet iu length
while the draw was one hundred and
ninety feet in length. All the spans,
with the exception of one to the west
of the draw, were in place, and the un
finished one was rapidly approaching
completion when the storm occurred.
What is most remarkable of the storm
is the fact that the little steamer Port
Deposit was but a short distance above
the bridge when the wind struck it, and
those on board only felt a strong breeze.
Frail temporary structures erected on
rafts and moored near the bridge were
left entirely unharmed by the wind.
Hanging sign boards on poles at the
water’s edge, and dilapidated frame
buildings escaped uuhurt, while the
immense structure, built as strong as it
was supposed wood and iron could make
it, was almost in an instant lifted up,
and falling into the water, sundered.
The storm was one of the most singular
ever experienced in this countr y.—

CURE ALL DISEASES OF THE SKIN !
Diseases of the skin are numerous and, with
hut oue or two exceptions, may ail be traced to
impurity of tho blood. lu muny persons tills
impurity is born in tiie system; while others
acquire it through improper treatiueut of
scores of diseases. (Juder tuis head may bo
classed—
Ist, Scrofula,—Tuis disease is hereditary and
is transmitted from generation to generation.
It is caused by a transgresslou oi the laws of
nature, botli moral aud physical; in other
words, it Is caused by tncc. Acting as a latent
poison, it reduces the vitality of tho blood, aud
weakens the depurating organs, so that ihey
fall to discharge or cast out the Impurities
are continually generating In the system. A
person physically pure acquires gouorhcea, or
some other secret disease; he undergoes a
course of mercury, tin- disease is dried up, and
the patient pronounced well. Vain deluslou.
Tho complaint is not cured, Its channel is only
diverted. Instead of maxing its appearauce
outwardly, it acts on the Internal organs, and
scroiula, which is bequeathed from father to
sou. Is the resuit. Many persons who ure per
fectly free from all immorality and vice are ai
llicted wlili scrofulu. They are suffering for
the sius of their fathers anu laboring under the
curse inscribed In the Bo kof Books. “ 1 will
visit the iniquities of tho fathers upou tlielr
children.”
'lo cure this dreadful complaint It Is neofe.s
sary that tho blood should be thoroughly puri
fied. all the organs of the body brought lnloSw
healthy state of notion, and the system braced
up and strengthened by invigorating tonics.—
Look at ilie articles used in compounding
Mlshler’s Bitters; see the array of purifying
und luvlgoratlng mendlcaments, and say
whether there is au article In the whole list of
medlctues that equals it. We here emphatically
assert, without leur of contradiction, that
MISuLEK’S BITTERS WILL CUKE ALL
KINDS OF SCROFULOUS DISEASES.
It purifies the blood, It strengthens the Inter
nal oigans and aids them to perform thair nat
ural functions, It is u stimulant aud a tonic aud
It will cure Scroiula.
2d, Running bores and Ulcers.—Running
sores aud ulcers Invariably indicate a scrofu
lous laint. They are caused by the efforts ol
nature to discharge the Impurities of the blood.
Mauy persons afflicted witu running sorffs and
uiccrs succeeded in drying them up aud taluk
they ar. cured wuen the sxin grows over the
sore. They are, However, “but makiDg bad
worse,” lor the Impurities that were discharged
from the system inrough tiie medium or the
sore now act lnte.naliy and cause Innumerable
diseases aud oiten death. Tiie only true and
sure cure for all running sores and ulcers is
Mishier’s Billers, a continued and persevering
use of which will most certainly effect a per
viunent cure.
3d, ball Rheum.—bait Rheum Is a vague, In
definite, though, popular term given to al
most all the non-febnie erupLious of tne skin
which afflict adults, ills generally an erup
tlou of vesicies in small, distinct ulcers, ac
companied with a smarting, tingling sensation,
with a tendeuey lo creep orspreud over the ad
joining sunace. Mishier’s Billers are a sure
cure lor this disease.
4LU. Pimples aud Blotches.—Bundles and
Blotches on the skin are always a sure sign ol
Impure blood. A,; i hough never dangerous, ex
cept In ca-< - ol carbuucles, they are very dis
agreeo >ic. Ufteu we will see tue most hand
some features rendered hideous by gieul
blotches ami pimples, aud Instead ol tne pieus
lug look widen should Irradiate the human lace
we see nothing but disgust ng corruption ; for
pimples ami blotches are notulng but the cor
rupt accumulations ol the system expelled
through the medium of the skin. The use ol
Mishler’s lliuers will force these corrtipuous to
be discharged through the usturul channels,
and thus cures all kinds ol plmplesaud blotches.

pimples should bear this lact in mind

READ WHO SAYS X U
From Rev. W. D. Selgfrled, Pastor of Twelltb
Baptist Church, Philadelphia.
Gentlemen: —I have recently been lubornlg
nder tho distressing effects of indigestion, ac
companied by a prostration of the nervous sys
tem. Numerous remedies were recommended
by friends, and some of them tested, bul with
out relief. Your Hoollatid’a German Bitters
wero recommended by persons wnu hud tried
them, and whose favorable mention of these
Bitters induced me to try them. 1 must con
fess that I nad an aversion to Patent Medicines
from the “thousand and one" quack "Bit
ters,” whose only atm seems to be to palm off
sweetened aud drugged liquor upon the com
munity in a sly way, and the tendency of
which, I fear, is to make many a coullruied
drunkard. Upon learning that yours was
really a medicinal preparation I took It with

From the many respectable recommenda
tions given to Dr. Hooliand’s German Bit ters,
I was induced to give them a trial. Alter
using several bottles I found them to be a good
remedy for debility, and a most excellent tunic
for the stomach.
From Rev. Win. Smith, formerly Pastor of trio
Vlncentlowu aud Millville (N. J.) Baptist
Churches.
Having used In my family a number of bot
tles oi your Hoofland’s German Bitters, i have
to say that I regard them as an excellent med
icine, specially adapted to remove the diseases
they are recommended for. They strengthen
and invigorate the system when debilitated,
and are useful in disorders of the liver, loss of
appetite, Ac. I have also recommended them
to several of my friends, who have tried them,
and found them greatly beneficial In the resto
ration of health.

From the Rev. Levi G. Beck, Pastor of the

the North Baptist Church, Philadelphia, at pre
sent Pastor of the Baptist Church, Chester, Pa.
I have known Hoofiand’s German Bitters
favorably for a number of years’ I have used
them in my own family, and have been so
pleased witli th> lr effects, that I was Induced
to recommend them to many others, and know
that they have operated in a strikingly benefi
cial manner. I take great pleasure in thus
publicly proclaiming this fact, and calling the
attention of those afflicted with the diseases for
which they are recommended, to theseßltters,
knowing from experience that my recommen
dation will be sustained. Ido this morecheer
full as Hoofland’s Bitters ls-intended to benefit
the afflicted, and is “ not a rum drink."
Yours, truly,
LEVI G. BECK.
From Rev. J. Newton Brown, D. D., Editor of
the Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge and
Christian Chronicle, Philadelphia.
Although not disposed to favor or recom
mend Patent Medicines in general, through
distrust of their Ingredients and effect*, I yet
know of no sufficient reasons why a man may
not testify to the brneflts he believes himself to
have received from any simple preparation, In
the hope that he may thus c utnbule to the
benefit of others.
I do this the more readily In regard to Hoof
land’s German Bitters, prepared by Dr. C. M.
Jackson, oi this city, because I was prejudiced
against them for many years, under the im
pression that they were chiefly an alcoholic
mixture. I am indebted to my friend, Robert
Shoemaker, Esq., for the removal of this preju
dice by proper tests and for encouragement i o
try them wnen suffering from great and long
continued debility. The use of three bottles of
these Bitters at toe beginning of the present
year, was followed by evident relief ana restor
ation to a degree of bodily and mental vigor
which I had not felt for six months before, and
had almost despaired of regaining. I therefore
thank God and my frJenddirecting me to the
use of them. J. NEWTON BROWN.

Dear Sir : I feel Itdtie to your excellent prep
