A SCENE IN PRosPEcT.-It is said that o
prize-fght between two of our city worthless is
to take place not far beyond the Potomac this
afternoon. We sincerely hope the parties may
be well trapped; or that, if they return to this
city, the requisition of the Governor Of Virginia
may be promptly made for their delivery.
Come, now, let us see what we can do when in
earnest about such matters. 1t will be seen
that our Georgetown correspondent names to-
morrow as the time for this meeting.

Cry ELRoTIoNs.-The duty Of selecting mu-
nicipal officers for the city Of Washington win
deyolve upon our citizens on Monday next.
The names of the several candidates will be
found in our columns. Little need be said on
this subject to men who so well understand
their rights and duties. The rule we observe
is to vote for such men as we would select were
the nomination of the deputies by whom they
We're to be managed. This appears to us to be
the true and conscientious mode. Men OF good
character and influence should alone DC cho-
sen-men in whom are known to be united en-
ergy, industry and sobrety, with moral worm.
A spurious claim upon our support has often
been made by idle takers, who assume for the
time the mask of great iberality and conyiyiai
good-felowship. But these practices are per-
haps now obsolete.
There has seldom been time when greater
responsibility rested upon the Councils of our
city, than are likely to devolve upon those now
about to be constituted. Our most worthy and
indefatigable Mayor manifests, in every posi-
BILE manner, his ardent interest in the welfare of
the city; and is ever ready to participate in
whatever moves are made to promote our con-
yenience and permanent welfare. We trust that
all the officers with whom he is to cooperate
may prove to be inspired with a like spirit.
Monday will be a day of some excitement,
but that it will also be day of good order and
fair dealing we need no assurance. May it's
results prove conducive to the welfare of ALL

The ENLARGEMENT OF THE CAPIT0L.-There
are and have been erroneous reports abroad on
this subject; but we have propagated none Of
them The President has as yet made known
no defnitive decision upon the subject. He will
do so early in the month of June. 1t is most
probable it will be wing plan, modified under
his own direction He is more fully conversant
with the subject than many are aware, and has
a full understanding of the defects in the pre-
sent edifce, and the wants of Senators and Rep
resentatives. This information he of course &C
quired while serving as a member of these
bodies over the former of which he was called
to preside In the latter, while serving as chair
man of the Committee of Ways and Means, it is
probable his attention was often called to the
subject.
We entertain strong hopes that we shall have
a most admirable plan, and that it will be well
executed. 1t has been sometimes remarked
that the subject is one exclusively applicable to
the judgment of architects. They are highly
accomplished and skillful class of gentlemen
and had the law enacted by Congress made any
one of them responsible for the important work,
we might concur in the opinion but as the i'm
posing responsibility will forever rest upon
President Fillmore, we trust he may have the
most ample opportunity of concentrating it
according to the decision of his own unbiased
Judgment, which we think is as clear as any
that has been brought to bear upon the subject.
The responsibility is his, and to him we would
award the honor.

SunaIoAL opEaArIos.--Wm. Linkins. AGED

SURGICAL OPERATION. WIN. Linkins, aged
sixty-four, native Of st. Mary's county, Md,
and for many years resident Of this city, in
jured his leg about thirty-six years ago, from
which injury atumor has existed ever since. The
bones became very much diseased; and about
five weeks ago, in attempting to walk upon
crutches, he slipped, and the diseased bones
from slight fall, were broken. The conse-
quent agony was SO intense, and the leg became
SO offensive, that he at length resolved to have
it amputated. He appeared, indeed, to be
dying, slowly and miserably. He was brought
to the Washington Infrmary, where, on Thurs
day evening, Professor MAY, assisted by Pro-
fessors MILLER and STONE, and the resident
students of the Infrmary, removed the limb,
including about one-third of the thigh. 1t was
accomplished in fifteen seconds, by what is called
the /" double-fap" operation, and eight ligatures
were promptly applied
Mr.. Linkins has survived the operation; but,
aged, weak, and emaciated as he is, his case is
of course very critical. If he shall recover,
however, who need despair?
