"Ms. Reynolds, whose name is connected with
Of the Hall Of Representatives for tomorrow
evening, for the purpose Of delivering lecture
on that subject. There is considerable interests
excited on this topic, as bill has been introdu.
ced to authorize new exploring expedition. Mr..
Reynolds has collected large neurological,
geological, and botanical cabinet, and he has laid
in corresponding stores Of knowledge which will
enable him to elucidate tho character Of the
climates and population omong which no has
resided for some years, and tho advantages which
will result to Us, from prosecuting our discoveries
in commercial and political view. There has
been, Of late, great difficulty in obtaining the
Hall, since the power Of granting its Use was
taken out Of the hands Of the Speaker, and it is
exceedingly compliments , to Mr.. REYNoLps,
that there was no opposition made to his applica.
ton, which had been made through the Committee
on Commerce.
"The individuals who stand charged with
firing the Treasury Building in the year 1888,
have all been arrested, as it is supposed, before
this. Tho principal actors in the transaction
are men named HM and WHITE. WHITE was
arrested in New York on Friday week, and was
brought to this city last Saturday. 1t appears
from tho story Of fIIx, who is now used as
States.cvidence, that the building was destroyed
at the instance Of Judge TEMPLE, Of Vermont,
who had committed extensive forgeries on the
Treasury, by forging pension certificates. Ap-
pretending detection, he employed WHITE and
others to do tho deed; but tho papers sought to
be destroyed were saved, and to avoid disgrace;
Judge, Temple committed suicide.
"1t is not little singular, that decd Of SO
much atrocity, as that Of destroying the Treas
ury building should have been confded to the
management of a number Of hands, and it appears
from tho dayelonemepfa already made. that I'D.
wards Of a dozen had hand in it.
