Res- The Pittsburgh American says:-"Yes-
terday evening, young lady about II or 19,
whose name we could not learn, appeared on
the streets attired in the Bloomer costume
She had on a dress of ehangeable silk, which
came very little below the knees, and pants
of the same material, which were very tasteful
ly and becomingly gathered at her ankles. She
was accompanied by her father, and is deserving
of the greatest praise for the spirit she evinced
in daring the quidnuncs. She made decidedly
fine appearance, and was admired as she passed
along"

The railroad MONOPOLY,

The Republic q few days ago contained o very
just article in relation to the impositions prac-
tsed by the railroad companies between Wash
ington and New York. The distance is some
what more than from New York to Boston, but
the COSTS nearly double, as is the time con-
sumed also; while the discomforts arc intoler-
able. The Republic suggests that, as there is
little ground for hope of reform while the pre-
sent monopoly exists, government road might
be made for the transportation of the mail and
passengers in eight hours, instead of sixteen as
at present. and quotes from Judge Story the
remark that "nobody doubts that the words
establish postroads' may, without violating their
received meaning in other cases, be construed
so as to include the popr TO lay out and construct
roads." If this is correct construction Of the
power, says the Republic, there is no doubt that
it could be exercised with entire propriety in all
cases where the public convenience is so utterly
disregarded as on the route in question.

The marbIe Tor the Capitol.

We ware the first to publish complete hst OF
thu bids for furnishing the marble for the new
wings to be attached to the Capitol. Some stir
has been made to ascertain how and why we
came to have a copy Of the bids. We will tell
all about it,
We saw that copy Of the bids had found its
way out of the Interior Department, and that
one, at least, Of the Washington correspondents
for papers abroad had published some statement
in regard to the bids, which was not full and
explicit, although the said statement was made
by a clerk in one of the Executive Departments,
who ought to give full and fair intelligence, if
he gives any. This led to inquiry. Upon look
ing about, a friend Of ours, from whom we often
obtain items of news Of reliable character,
found that there were several copies of the bids
for the marble in the possession Of as many differ
emit persons He got hold of one Of them, and
handed it to US, that we might publish it, and
give to everybody, thereby what few seemed
to be enjoying all to themselves. In this mat
ter we entirely exonerate from all blame--if
blame there be, which we deny-Mr Walter,
the Architect, Mr.. Strong, the Superintendent,
and Mr.. Easily, the Commissioner Of Public
Buildings. The copy of the bids which strayed
away from the Interior Department, we have
reason to believe, was the one from which other
copies, including that we published, were made.
The bids as we gave them, were correct. That
is what we and the public most care for.
We understand that the Scientific Committee
appointed to examine the different kinds of
marble from the quarries named in the bids, are
now having samples Of the material sawed into
square blocks of an inch and half each, to be
tested on Saturday next, at the Arsenal as to
the amount Of weight each block Of marble
from the different quarries will bear.
Great care is taken that there shall be no
iron ore in the samples to be tested. The work
men preparing the samples are under oath, by
the direction of the President, to do their work
impartially and faithfully. Iron ore in marble
renders the marble capable Of bearing more
weight than it would if free from it. But iron
ore soon defaces marble exposed to the weather,
and would greatly mar the beauty of any ediice
built of such material. ss

TO the Editors Of the American Telegraph:
GENTLEMEN: last night stepped into Tenn
perance Hall for few minutes to view Russell
Smiths Panorama of the Holy Land, and was
surprised to find it so thinly attended. 1t is
well deserving the patronage Of the citizens Of
Washington, and would advise all such as de-
sire to procure much information for little
money, to go and see it. 1t is well worthy the
attention of parents and others having children
under their charge; as more vivid and lasting
impressions are made upon the memory by
means Of paintings than by mere reading. His
views of the burning Jerusalem, Of the brook
Kedron and vicinity, and of Bethlehem with the
Star in the East, are peculiarly beautiful and
imposing. M.
