N - a% 'tuber 16, 18G8. A FATIME lINTIRILLY Ala CA.VIOI. Wendell Phillips is not going to "let us have peace." His relapse into silence would be suicidal. In one respect he is like this terrestrial globe: perpetual motion is essential to his existence ; if he stops he goes to pieces and dies. As long as he lives ho must agitate and find fault and complain. If there is any truth in spiritualism, and physical endurance in mediums, it is very likely he will rap out querulous communications by the quantity when he reaches the other world. He is never quite satisfied with anything but himself, and there is a popular impression that he has less cause for satisfaction in that direction than in any other. His most recent overflow of bile was caused by the election of the Republican candidate for the Presidency. The triumph of the party, he considers, to some extent, a good thing, but not quite as good a thing as it would have been if Grant had not bees its leader. In the opinion of this fine old agitator, General Grant is wholly unfitted for the Presidential office because of his want of administrative ability; because of his neglect to prevent the murder of Union men in the South; because of his silence ; his want of a declared policy ; of his sympathy with Andrew Johnson, displayed in his acceptance of Mr. Stanton's office, and of his failure to oppose the Administration while holding the position of Secretary of War. None of these objections are very fresh, and some of them have such a genuine De mocratic flavor, that we half suspect the dyspeptic Wendell,of an intention to secede from the Republican ranks, and go over to the Democracy. We would advise this course.as likely to afford him an opportunity to "pitch in" to things generally. The ad herents of the Democratic party will have very much to complain of during the next four years; and Wendell is master of the rhetoric of complaint. We are mildly sorry, of course, that he is not satisfied with Gen. Grant. Everybody else in the party is, and while we would like to gratify Wendell, it seems hardly fair to force Grant to resign, and then arrange another election merely to soothe hie ruffled spirit. There are people who regard General Grant's silence as the happiest token of his sound sense and judg ment, and they are confirmed in this theory by the reflection that Horatio Seymour, Wen dell Phillips and other demagogues are garrulous. The eloquence of action, after all, is the most convincing, and men who are un blinded by prejudice and self-conceit can read in the record of Grant's military career the best evidences of his ability as a commander, and as an executive officer. And it is here that we have our guarantee of his loyalty, patriotism, earnest regard for the wishes of his constituents, the people, and of his un selfish, unpresuming intention always to ex ecute his tasks in conformity with the spint and letter of the laws. He has arranged no policy, because it will be his duty to enforce the enactments of Congress, without regard to his private opinion of their excellence, and we are sure that he will do this. We have had quite enough of Presidential policies of late, and we can very well afford to trust a man who declares that he has none to pursue in defiance of the popular will. General Grant's conduct during Mr. John 'eon's quarrel with Secretary Stanton was-emi nently characteristic of the man, and gave entire satisfaction to the loyal people of the country. It was proper that he should not assume the position of a violent partisan of either disputant, for both of them were his superior officers. But as far as it was politic and possible for him to manifest his disappro bation of the President's course, he did so. Certainly no reasonable man can fail to ad mire the adroitness displayed by him in de feating Mr. Johnson's attempt to represent him to the world in the attitude of a supporter of the Presidential policy. The denunciations showered upon him by the Democratic and rebel press at the time, proved very clearly that Mr. Johnson's friends comprehended General Grant's true position, if Wendell Phillips did not. It is silly and malicious to attempt to fasten upon General Grant any responsi bility for the massacres which have occurred during the reign of terror in the South. To Mr. Johnson, not to Grant, was confided the execution of the reconstruction laws of Con gress. It would be as just to blame Wendell Phillips for the present insurrection in Cuba, as to charge Grant with the neglect and wickedness of President Johnson. General Grant latterly has been ignored entirely by this functionary. Hie.. advice and assistance - _have not been asked; the President has, in the exercise of an undoubted right, appointed what officers he chose to command the Southern departments, and General Grant has 'been utterly helpless to prevent the con summation of Mr. Johnson's designs, unless he had deliberately refused to obey orders. Perhaps Mr. Phillips would have liked General Grant to have displayed insubordina tion. It would have made an uproar that would have rejoiced the Phillipan heart; but we trust Grant now because he did his mani fest duty when his inclination was strongly soother direction. For there can be no doubt of his entire sympathy with the Union men of the South, and of his abhorrence of the outrages which have been practiced them. • We have a multitude of his _ r letericdiaipateli - ea - and - utterancea upon that atMect,which leave no room to question that Otis inauguration will be followed by the adoption of instant and vigorous measures to protect life and property throughout the rebel States, and to make fr6Z4. speech jposlible everywhere. When that good work is done, we suppose the irrepressible Wendell will have discovered another sc.urce of aggrava tion to his pertrubed and ur.ea9y spirit, and will fly off upon a now tangert, At present we wish he would model his conduct upon Grant's In one respect. We can endure a vast amount of silence from him just now. THE lIDB MRS It seems likely, after all, that there is some little truth in the exaggerated repbrts given in the New York papers of the existence of a filibustering scheme, having for its object the seizure of the Island of Cuba. We are not prepared to place implicit confidence in the statements of the imaginative reporters, or to expect fulfilment of the extravagant promises of the bold buccaneers who have the matter in band. There is a little too much gorgeous ness and magnificence in the proposed plan, for practical purposes. These worthies not only propose to capture' Cuba, but to extend their conquests until they obtain possession of the whole isthmus, and the entire West India group of islands;and after accomplishing these trifling tasks—under the leadership of General Blair, one report says—it is their self-sacri ficing and patriotic intention to throw the whole lot in as their little contribution to the United States. Even Seward never conceived such an annexation scheme as this. Blair may yet snatch from him the title of the Great Annexor. Perhaps Blair may have a selfish motive, and will only bring us all this new territory so that he can arrange to have a hand some majority for himself at the next Presi dential election. These Blain cannot be trusted. Their Democratic judicial friends could easily naturalize the population of all the new territory in time. But we hardly think all of this will be ac complished. If Cuba is taken, it will be about as much as we can reasonably expect even from such able and valorous men. Twat it is intended to make an attempt in that di rection, seethe at least highly probable; for it it admitted on all sides that an organization has been fitimed for the purpose. Most of the leaders.whose names are given are men who were adherents of that wretched outlaw, William Walker,of Nicaraguan memory; and they seem to be imbued with his insane spirits of reckless and foolish enterprise. But Walker never undertook any campaign of this dangerous character. His schemes were bold enough; but he ventured only into a country which was utterly ruined already by anarchy, and he always found partisans among the popu lation. Cuba is rather a more extensive Held than Nicaragua, and the government holds it in better controL There is an insurrection there, it is true; but the fact is not especially useful to American filibusters. The mass . 0 the revolutionists want liberty under the re formed Spanish rule; not sacrifice of their government and their property to a band of lawless vagabonds. There will be no sym pathy for these, even among the rebels, if they succeed in reaching the revolutionary army. It is very unpleasantly posaible,how ever, that they will not proceed so far into the bowels of the land. Lersundi is active and vigilant, and most likely he will nab the intruders,and treat them as Lopez was treated in 1849,—t0 a few twists of the garrote. Perhaps that would be the best thing for them and for us. But there is good reason to believe the ex pedition will never leave our shores. The United States Government will have some thing to say about that, and it will be in the form of a peremptory objection. We feel very kindly towards the new Spanish Go vernment, and do not intend to steal its pro perty; we have respect for our own laws, and will not permit them to be broken with im punity; and last of all, we do not want Cuba. If we can manage to take care of our own territory, just at present, we shall' do very well, and have our hands full. Reconstruc tion of the Southern States is difficult enough, without attempting to remodel and regenerate Cuba. Polk's bid for Cuba, the Ostend man ifesto and Slidell's later proposition to pur chase the island, were all inspired by the anxiety of the slave power to strengthen itself by extension. That interest is dead and without influence now, and this country is in the hands of a free, honest and loyal people, who will not support or countenance any outrage against neighboring States. If manifest destiny is to give us Cuba, we had better await its opera tion, and denounce intermeddling rascality. When Cuba knocks at the door, we will pro bably let her in, and think ourselves fortunate then. Until then, we can find ample occu pation in attending to our own business. If these filibusters are simply eager to acquire territory for themselves, we recommend them to settle on some of the many million acres of unoccupied land in the West, where an honest livelihood can be earned by a little hard work, and where success can be ob tained without indulgence in throat cutting. Now that this scheme has been exploded, we hope the authorities will investigate it, and if there is anything in it, bring it to a summary conclusion. ROSSINI. The greatest of the Italian musical composers, Gioacchino Rossini, died on Saturday last at his villa in Passy, near Paris. His health has been for some time declining, and his death was ex pected, owing to his great age. He was born at Pesaro, February 29th, 1792, so that ho was nearly seventy-seven years old ; though, as ho could only calculate his birth-day once in four years, he had the habit of playfully counting his years by the Leap Years. His parents were strolling musicians, and he began his musical career with them as a child, developing a fine ear and voice, which led to his being-placed—in. the Lyceum of Bologna for a thorough musical education. The Abbe Mattel was his instructor there in composition. When only 16 years of age, a symphony and cantata, called 11 Plant° d' A rmonia, was played at Bo logna;and two years later his first opera was pro duced at the San-Mose Theatre in Venice. It was called La Gambiale di Matrimonio, was in only one act, and had but moderate success. Several other operas afterwards appeared, but the first successful one was the inyanno Felice, produced when he was only twenty years old. He wrote many others in his youth, the most successful of which were Tancredi and L' Italiana in A lgeri in 1813 and 11 Turco to ftalia In 1814. His other great est operas were produced as follows: 11 Barbiere di Seriglia and Otello, 1816; Cenerentela and La Gazza Ladra, 1817; Mose in Egitto, 1818; La Donna del Logo, 1819; Afaometto Seconds, 1820; ,Btzsiramide,lB23; Le Comte d'Ory,lB2B,and Gut:t zar/me Tell, 1829. The two last named were written for the Grand Opera of Paris, of which Rossini was made Director by Charles X. 81nce THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN-PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1868. the-prodnetlen of Guillaume Tell, ii anther has written no operas, and the only important work be has given to the public is the Stabat Mater, I the exquisite hymns known as La Foi, L'Espe ranee and La Chdrite, and several rather unwor thy compositions for state occasions in Paris, are all that the genius of Rossini has vouchsafed to give to the world of late years. some of his earlier operas were written for the prima donna M'lle. Cplbrand, whom, he after wards married. Ho separated from her, and af ter her death In 1845, Mme. Olympe Pelissier, who had lived with him as his wife, assumed his Mane. Ile has lived in Paris and Pussy since 1525, sharing with the veteran French composer, Auber (his senior by eight years,) the homage of ail the musical pilgrims to the French capital. '/31s hospitality, to true artiste and his genial hu mor have been proverbial: rHe has seemed willing to let 1 - . f "'hfs rep utation rest chlefl3 on his Guillaume Tell, his most elaborate work, in which there was "a happy blending of the German and Italian styles. Its production was like the founding of a new school, of which Meycrbeer immediately became a zealous disciple. In later years Gounod and others of the French composers have followed in the same style. It is understood that Rossini leaves many unpublished musical works, which may probably be given to the world by his ex ecutors. His death will doubtless be the occasion of many solemnities in Paris and in all parts of the world where his works are known. ConnEcrtom —The statement of our Washing ton correspondent in reference to the •"Jeff. Davis" female garments is incorrect in one essen tial particular. No fair is being held in this city, or projected, to raise funds for the National Lin coln Monument, and none is necessary, as the amount required for the statue of Bishop Simp son has already been raised by private and volun tary contributions. We regret that the imputa tion inadvertently conveyed by our correspond ent should have escaped our notice. We are requested by the friends of Mr. H. T. Helmboid to deny positively the truth of the re port that be is suffering from any aberration of mind. Mr. Heimbold is in excellent physical and mental hcalih,and the rumors to the contrary are malicious, wicked, and without the slightest foundation in fact. At Mr. C. F.

Further Earthquakes and Loss of Pro. perty-Imro ot the Mone Contribute p d Nor the Aid of the Suffer. y ern—Yellow Fever. Data, October 22.—Earthquakes continu at Iquique, particularly at night. The silver m ines of Guantajaya and Santa Rosa have been nearly destroyed, making it impossible to work them except by a vest outlay of money. The streets were still obstructed,but efforts were being made to clear them of the rubbish washed up by the sea after the earthquake. The work on the rail road was inaugurated on the 16th instant, which is to connect Iquique with the saltpetre mines of La Norma. The completion of this work 18 anxiously looked for. At Arica, the condition of the town and people was still in a lament table state, and the want of the common necessa ries of life was much felt. It has turned oat, as was expected, that the money voted by the Gov ernment and ennhefibtd for by various persons to uhf in relieving the sufferings of the people, has gone to enrich a certain favored few, while the bulk of the people have been entirely forgotten. From Tacno we learn that the small-pox has made its appearance in that city, causing great alarm. It appears that one calamity follows close on the heels of another In this unfortunate repub lic. A severe shock of earthquake was felt In that city on the 13th inst., at 1.30 P. M., equally as strong as that of the 13th of August kust,but which only lasted LO seconds. No damage was done. Slight earthquakes are not noticed now-a-days,for these are of common occurrence. The news from Arequipa is no less distressing, as her con dition is far from being sensibly bettered. The frequency of the earthquakes and the smoke which the volcano Misti continues to vomit forth from its north cone is a sufficient motive for the unsettled state of the people. A very severe shock took place on the 13th inst., at 1.30 P. M., which shook down some old ruins. No doubt this earthquake is the same that was felt at Tacna and Caldera. - The mortality of the city Is daily on thOncrease. A gentleman who arrived at Arequipa on the morning of the 16th from Cuzco, reports that on the 28th ult., a severe earthquake caused considerable damage to pro perty in the valleys of Cnzeo and Puno. Yellow fever has also appeared in the town of Ica, and fears were entertained that it would become gen eral. Doctors and medicines have been for warded by the government to hday_gand Ica, to check, if possible, the ravages arthis terrible enemy. There were but few cases in Lima dar ing the past week, which were principally con fined to the soldiers.—Tribune. COLOMBIA. A Revolution Inaugurated by the President of the Republic-The Gov ernor of Cundinamarca Taken Pris oner-The Prelude to a General Civil War. PaliAsia., Nov. s.—The fires of civil war have again been lighted in unhappy Colombia. The Conservative party which, since the year 1864, had been entirely subdued, has for some time past been actively but secretly preparing for a restoration of its lost power. News to hand Iron:lithe capital Is to the effect that Senor Igna tio Gutierrez, the Governor of the State of Can dinamarca, bad collected 2,000 men in the con vent of San Francisco, to preserve and uphold his authority as supreme magistrate of the State, which for some time past had been menaced. The President of the Re public violating the strict neutrality he should Of rye, and in order to play into the hands of the liberal party, gathered all the troops of the capital, some 700 men, and surrounded the con vent, demanding the surrender of the Governor. The Governor at once surrendered, and is now a prisoner. Of course this act of revolution on the part of the National Government has aroused the Conservative party throughout the republic, and a general civil war must be the natural sequel. As soon as the action of the President of the na tion became known, an armed force, under Franco, numbering 1,080 man, appeared near Bogota. to liberate the Governor and restore him to his seat. An engagement took place between them and the national troops, in which the former were routed with a loss of 400 men. The latter lost 17,_andsit last advlees remained .master of the situation. The town of Cipequira was afterward taken by the Conservatives. Further news is anxiously looked for.—Tribune. P ILIALAGVAY. The War in Paraguay—The Charges Against Minister Washburn©. The news from the seat of war in Paraguay is up to September 24. The allied forces had at tacked the position of Lopez at Villeta, but were repulsed with heavy , loss. They wore forced to fall back to their encampment, where they were continually harassed by the Paraguayans, who frequently intercepted their supplies. An inef fectual bombardment of Angostina was made by the iron clads. We have also a report that a re volution against the new President of the Argen tine Confederation had broken out. The Minister of the United States to Paraguay has beengetting himself into serious trouble with Marshal Lopez. The latter accused Minister Washburn° of having entered into the conspiracy to assassinate the President, and it was charged that he hag received a hundred and forty thou sand dollars as the reward of his action.

The Daily News of the ad publishes the fol. lowing letter from Mr. Johnson: Bir: As the report respecting the condition, of the State of Texas in your Now. York corres pondent's letter (which appeared in your columns on the 16th inst.) has been copied in other jour nals, thereby attracting much attention and creating distrust In the minds of those Interested in emigration to Texas, we have to request that you will insert the accompanying letter from the American Minister. We are, &e., PATTON, VICIEERS et CO., Agents for Liverpool and Texas Steamship Company. No. 25 Water street, Liverpool, Oct. 31. No, 4 UPPER PORTLAND-PLACE, Oct. 60.-43 m The letter from New York published in The Daily News of the 16th inst., towhich your note of the 16th inst. calls toy attention, I have read. As Its statements are calculated to injure the interests of Texae, and as lam satisfied that they are un founded, I feet bound to comply with your re quest, I left the United States on the Ist of Au gust, and for years immediately preceding was a member of the Senate of the United States. In that capacity it was my duty to inform myself of the conditioh of the Southern States, and this I did from sources upon which I know; that full reliance could be placed; and the knowledge thus obtained enables me to say that the statements in the letter referred to are un founded. That there are acts of violence in that State iit'n6 doubt true but not more, I believe, than occur in either of the other Stats, or in any other country. I have no doubt, therefore, that emigrants into the State will be as safe as in any other part of the Union. I remain, Sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant, • REVERDY JORNSON. J. J. VICKERS, Esq., No. 22 Lesdenhall street, E. C. The following is the passage of our correspond ent's letter referred to in the foregoing commu nications : "The accounts from the South do not change materially. In Texas, society may be said to be dissolved,at least outside one or two of the larger towns. The only Safety forl anybody is to be found inside the quarters of the Federal troops, and they hold simply the ground they encamp on. The whole State is in the hands tlof mobs, who murder and burn houses at their will; and they, too, act under no recognized head, or -In accordance with any fixed plan. This would be more dreadful if it were ranch pf dehange. but it is not—things were as bad as this during the war, and not very much better before it." _ Our Now York correspondent, it will be seen, was not writing for or against ony land or emi gration scheme, but simply summarising the latest current intelligence. Mr. Johnson's con tradiction, therefore, does not so much concern him as the American press. Since, however, the question has been raised, we will observe that our New York correspondent's trustworthiness does not need the certificate of any foreign minister; end Mr. Johnson's new found friends In England can tell him that our countrymen would have been richer by some millions at the present moment Ifthey had heeded his trathfal reports in times past, when gentlemen from the Southern States were, as now, endeavoring to entangle them in the doubtful schemes. Our New York correspondent knows the whole South by observation and travel, and, with all due respect to Mr. Johnson, we believe that the paragraph jest quoted from his letter contains a true and faithful description of the State of Texas at the present time. Bearing in mind the claims of Lou- Wane, where, on the 16th ult., in St. Mary's par ish. a Sheriff was shot in his hotel and a magistrate in the streets—of Arkansas,where,on the 15th tilt., a Deputy Sheriff was killed at Pine Bluff—of South Carolina, where, on the 16th, a Senator was shot by three men as he was standing on the platform of a railroad station in the Abbeville district—bearing all this in mind, we say, we are still compelled to think that Texas excels them all as the most lawless and barbarous country in the world where the pretence of civilization is kept up. We do not know whether Messrs. Pat ton, Vickers & Co. are Englishmen, but as such we earnestly warn our countrymen against being induced by foreign misrepresentation to carry their capital and energy to a country where or ganized ruffianism is triumphant. FROM NEW TORE. NEW YORE, November 16th.—Mrs. Harriet P. Ward, more familiarly known as "Major Pauline Cashman," was yesterday arraigned before Jus tice Dodge, at the Jefferson Market Police Court, charged with having stolen $493 in money from Deputy Marshal Abner B. Newcomb. The parties settled the matter privately, however, and New comb declining to press the complaint, Mrs. Ward was discharged. Last evening James Barrows, a resident of Troy, was instantly killed by being crushed be tween ono of the Barclay street ferry-boats and the bridge. An inquest was held yesterday at the Second Precinct Station-house, in Beekman street, over the body of George Brewer, the unfortunate boy who was killed on Saturday during the Fulton Ferry collision. Several witnesses were exam ined, and an adjournment took place till Wed nesday, at 3 o'clock, when it will be resumed at the Coroner's office, No. 4 Centre street. Last evening Rev.

The rates for call loans here to-de; were from 7 to 9 per cent. on government collaterals, and from Bto 12 per cent on mixed securities. The deposits at the banks have run down to an unprecedentedly low figure; and these institutions have not the cower to ex tend any great relief to needy borrowers. The stieement of the associated banks for this week will show that they are somewhat better off than at the close of the previous week of gloom and depression. The merchants are act Jug with unusual caution. and prefer to realize on their goods at low rates for cash, than to in any way extend credits.

THE GOVERNIdEIiT BIJILDINGS Repoit of the Supervisory Arehiteet Foulness MONROE, Nov. 16..--Mhe steamer Matanzas, Captain Hazard, from Savannah, for Now York, with a cargo of cotton, blew ant the tube of her boiler on the night of the 15th, off Hatteras, setting fire to the vessel. Every effort was suede to save her, but the fire gained rapidly and the crow had to take to the boats. They were out seven hours when they were picked up by the schooner Frank, of Sidney, from Turk's Island for Halifax, and brought in. They leave for New York to-night. The Matanzas was a 1,200 tons propeller, built in New York in 1801. Fused up, brigs lssissippi and Potomac from Demerara. [Special Despatch to the PbMade. Evening Bullet:W.l WASH/FITION, Nov. 16, 1868.—The an nual report of Hon. A. B. Mullett, Supervisory Architect for the Government, for the year end ingBept. 30, 1868, has been laid before the Secre tary of the Treasury. It is very lengthy, but ex ceedingly interesting in going to show the neces sity of changing the contract system for the supply of material for governmenhuildings; the workings of the eight-hoar law. and the in creased cost of erecting buildings since this law has been in force, besides much other interesting matter. The following is an abstract of the most important portions of the report,for the pub lication of which permission has been granted by the Treasury Department: Sir :—I have the honor to submit the following report on the condition of the public property under the supervision of this office, and upon the work performed and the expenditures made un der its direction during the year ending Septem ber 3003,1868. And in so doing I have to say that the business of the office has steadily increased, and is now greater than at any time since its or ganization. The commencement of new buildings, the pre paration of plans for others, the progress of the work on those now in course of erection, the re pairing of those already completed, and the su pervision of the large amount of real estate owned by the Department, have involved a con stant amount of care, attention and anxiety. No pains have been spared to hasten the completion of the various works now in progress, though I regret to state that the re sults have not been in all cases satisfac tory, from causes beyond the control of this office, which will be explained In detail. Prominent among these has been the impossibil ity of compelling contractors for the supply of material and manufactured work, who have taken contracts at rates they deem unremnnerative, to comply with their obligations. The principal difficulty has beenwith the contractors for the sup ply of cut stone,they having,th many cases owned or controlled the quarries from which a supply could be obtained, thus placing the Department entirely at their mercy. The contracts have been prepared under the advice and with the approval of the Solicitor of the Treasury, and are, it is believed, as stringent and thoroughly binding as could be made. It is true the penalty they provide for delay remains charged against the contractors and will be en forced by the Department; but an impression ap pears to prevail that it is only necessary to prove that the price paid them was inadequate in order to obtain relief from Congress. I trust they may be mistaken, and that they will be held to the strict letter of their obligations. HOW THE EIGHT noun LAW WORKS. Another serious cause of embarrassment has been the adoption of the eight hour system on Government works, which has greatly increased the cost and retarded the progress of the build ings under charge of this office. The idea that as much labor can be performed in eight as in ten hours has proved to be utterly fallacious; Indeed the experience of this office justifies the assertion that less labor per hour has, in most cases, been obtained under the eight than under the ten hour system. It appears to me that the law in force up to the passage of the act in question, which authorized Government officers to con form to the rules and prices established by custom in the different localities, was not only eminently just but liberal. The uniform practice on all works under charge of this Department has been to pay full market rates for labor and to give the mechanics and laborers employed the full advantages of the interpretation of the local customs on all points and to avoid inter fering in any manner with these questions. It is also, in discussing this subject, worthy of re mark that a workman can earn a larger sum per annum when employed on public than on private buildings at the same per diem pay, there bein a much smaller per centage of lost time and employment being more permanent. It is a matter of no personal importance to me whether mechanics and laborers work eight or ten hours, but It appears manifest that the system of paying the mechanic who is employed on Government work the same price for eight hours that the one employed by private parties receives for ten hours' work is unjust. It has, at any rate, increased the cost of public buildings from twenty to twenty-five per cent. beyond the amount fir which I can consent to be held responsible. I can see no reason why the price of labor should be regulated by law any more than that of provisions or other merchan dise, or why the mechanic should receive more protection than agricultural laborers whose pay is less and who work more hours. The report then says that the great pressure of Important legislation on the late Congress, and the consequent delay in the passage of the appro priation bills, compelled the suspension of work in some cases, and caused serious delay in others. Great difficulty has been experienced in obtaining the services of competent and energetic superin tendents. The most favorable results have been attained at those places where superintendents have given attention to the work. The employ-, ment of resident architects, who would act as representa,ives of the Treasury Department, and operate as a direct check on the superintendents, in those cities where the most important public buildings are situated. is recommended. The experience of this office has juslfied the determination of the department to make no contracts for the erection of buildings, save In exceptional cases. The supplies of material and manufactured work have however been obtained after due advertisement therefor, and in no case has the contract been awarded to any save the lowest bidder. Could any system be levised that would re strict competition for the erection of public buildings to those only who are competent to estimate correctly the value of the work required, and sufficiently responsible to meet their oblige tions,it would undoubtedly be the most desirable plan Tor performing the work. This principle can be and is carried out by private individuals, who have the right to select their own bidders; but I can see no means_by which this eye be applicable to public works until it is deemed proper to entrust government officers with the same discretion that is exercised by private per sons. Until that can be done, or some other remedy devised, I see no alternative except to continue the present system of executing the work under the immediate supervision of a superb:lt:en dent. The repairing and remodeling of the old buildings has been proceeded with as rapidly as the means at the disposal of this office would permit. The report then details at length the condition of the various public buildings throughout the A POOR INVESTMENT. The site of the Marine Hospital at Napoleon, Ark., which was selected with admirable sagacity, has been swept away by the river, which watt. perhaps, the most favorable disposition of it that could have been suggested; the building hav ing never been needed or used for hospital. Pur poses since its erection, and all attempts to sell it having proved abortive. After all efforts to dispose of it had failed the officer in charge was authorized, at his suggestion - to wreck - tini build= m inand 1341 the material, which appears froM 2:30 O'Olook.
