Row NOT TO no tr.—There is a Circumlocut ion office in Vlashingten City as well as in London, wherein it is the task of government officiab3 to learn how not to do it. A recent instance of this is found in the case of the Capitol buildings. The architects have only just now, after the walls are up, discovered the Rotunda walla to be too weak to bear the new iron dome. Its construe , lion will therefore he suspended, and the im mense expenditure already incurred will be lost. Strengthening the walls sufficiently involves nearly the - temoval and renewal of the old Capi u „tol Buildin Tax po 'cal fairness 'of the Chronicle may be inferred from the following paragraph, which appeared in its columns on Saturday: . . "There were arrested in Chicago during the past two and a half mouths, two thousand four hundred and eighty persons. Among the number were one clergyman, one Republican editor, one Rir publican Mayor, one Republican en-member of Con gres, two hundred and nine Cyprians, etc. There were only two doctors arrested and no lawyers." This disingenuous item first appeared in the Detroit Free Prres, the occasion of it being the arrest of John Wentworth, in Chicago, on the silly charge of stealing mail bags, he being the Republican editor,—Republican Mayor and Be -1 publican ex-member of Congress alluded to.— That hewaa arrested. is true; but why not bane the decency to add that he was honorably dis charged almost immediately afterwards!

The leading Locorocos of Bellefonte refused to support General William F. Papker for the State Senate, in 1843, for the reason., as they said; that "he woo a rand, and Mat he had ciao ed the Mate." The editor of the Centre Democrat, (then a Locofoco paper,) would not hoist the Dame of William F. Packer to the head of his paper, as a candidate forStateSenator, until he was forced to do so by some of his patrons threatening to discontinue their papers. • When General W. F. Packer ran for the State Senate, in 1849, he reeeivedbutabout fifty votes, out of two hundred, in the borough of Belle fonte, the Locofocos generally refusing to sup port him for the reason that he had rol.hed the State. The average Locofoco majority in the borough at that time was about. twenty. We give the above facts for the benefit of hon est voters throughout. the State, which facts we are ready to prone at any time. If Locofocos re fused to suppOrt Mr. Packer for State Senator, in 1849, because be cheated the State, can they now consistently support him for Governor ? We think not.
