To the Editor Of Union:
My DEAR SIR: My attention has just been called to
the following article contained in the Union of the 9th
Instant
For the Union.
resolution Of the last Congress for the lighting NTH
gas the Capitol and Capitol grounds.
"Rsolped by the Senate and House of Representations Of
the United States Of america in Congress assembed That
Representatives be authorized and directed to contrac,
with James Crutchcu for lighting up the Capitol and the
such be made upon terms deemed reasonable
by the said Secretary and Clerk and that sum not
ceedng SIT 500 be- and the same is hereby appropriated
1877.
Now under the above resolution, immense mast is
about be erected from the dome of the Capitol which
has created much discussion in this city, and some
easness under the fear that is calculated endanger
the building and may be destructive of life. II is respect
fully asked whether the said Secretary and Clerk
ryng the views of Congress by the plan about to
be adopted by them Some inquiry into this subject
best elicit proper information and satisfy the public
&C
Information having been thus respectfully asked, !
feel bound to give such as can.
The resolution embodied in the above communication,
founded petition of Mr.. James Crutchett, in
which he set forth fully his plan OF lightning the capitol
and capitol grounds That petition was before both
houses OF Congress, and doubtless well considered
by the committee of the Senate which reported the
luton The Secretary and Clerk--who are not only
authorized" but "directed to contract-after much
consideration and reflection, TO the conclusion that
the plan laid before the committee Of the Senate by Mr.
Crutchet must be pursued by them in their contract
and they consequently embodied it therein. They did
not however enter into the contract until they had con-
suited two of the best architects in Washington, and Mr.
Renwck, the architect of the Smithsonian Institution, all
OF whom gave their opinions that the erection of the
contemplated mast, secured in the manner proposed by
Mr.. Crutchett, would not endanger the building, but
would the contrary, strengthen the dome; and that,
when finished wonld rather add to- than detract from,
the architectural symmetry of the Capitol Thus assured
the Secretary of the Senate and Clerk of the House Of
Representatives, have proceeded perform the duty
signed to them by the resolution.
So far as the undersigned is concerned, he most re-
s,,spend Their ,dgment n he case ;s fa;riv submitted
for their verdict, when he hopes that they will all be
reconcied by the flood of light which will be shed up
on them.

the first district, sustained by large federal majority
No news from them.
In the third district the federal candidate Daniel
generally expected vote for Walter F. Leake of
Richmond though that gentlemen had declined to be
candidate.
In the fourth district, the candidates A. H. Shep
perd ederalist, and Junus L. Clemmons, democrat The
federal majority eighteen hundred votes under
the Raynermander but have doubt that MIR Glenn
mons has reduced it considerably.
In the fifth district, Abraham W. Venable, democrat,
has been elected John Kerr federalst, by III
ority
In the sixth district Gen. Daniel, democrat has been
elected over A. H. Arlington and Henry Toole, nde

Kay, democrat, Mr. Hall, federalst and Mr. Bryan,
independent democrat.
In the sth district, the candidates were Richard s.
Donnell, federalist and VIM X. Lane, democrat We
have heard from but few counties, and it is therefore i'm
Mr. Lane was running well, but the federal majority

hundred
The 9th district, we regret to say has most probably
elected David Outlaw federalist Col Biggs, demo-

there is ground for hoping for the fourth In
