THE Coop CAUSE PRosPERs.-The Boston
Journal says:
"on Tuesday FIVE of the most lovely and
pleasing bellies Of Somerville publicly appeared
in the new costume. Their appearance was
better than a thousand arguments in favor Of
its adoption. Those who were before opposed
were perplexed, to say the least. Those who
we're wavering were decided. Several ladies
we're seen on Washington street, Tuesday, in the
new dress. The ice has been broken in this
city, and the fair sex can now walk the streets
in the new dress without risk of being annoyed
by the impertinent curiosity of the thought

THE PUBLIC WoRK.-A petition is to-day in
circulation for the signatures of our fellow iti-
zens, to which we subscribe with pleasure, and
invoke to its recommendations the calm and
earnest attention of our most estimable Presi-
dent
BY the measure proposed the best of work
manship may be secured, and the expense need
not be materially, if at all, increased. But even
should it prove greater, the payment of just
recompense directly to the laborer accords
more strictly with the principles of justice than
the augmentation Of profits in the hands of con-
tractors, or the liability of the Government to
after-payments, to men whose calculation proves
inferior to their cupidity.
TO his EIcellency WILLARD FILLMORE, president
.f.. i...... Of the United States.
SIR: The time being at hand when it is I'M
derstood your Excellency will determine the
plan and mode of improving the Capitol, under
the late act of Congress, we are induced to
make q short statement concerning it. We do
not doubt your determination to do your duty
to the public, whose organ you are, and we
have equal confidence in your desire to benefit
your fellow-citizens who labor for their sup
port, so far as is consistent Herewith. We
therefore respectfully make what we think is
fair statement of facts, and leave to your Ex-
cellency to decide upon the proposition it con-
tains. H
There are two modes of executing whatever
plan may be adopted. One is by the contract
system, such as that under which the Smith
sonian Institute building and the wings of the
Patent Office have been undertaken another is
by what is called day-aoork, in which, under O
superintendent selected for the purpose, worh-
men are employed and paid By the day, and do the
work under his supervision. We are of opinion
that the latter mode is not only fairest for the
laborer generally, but most advantageous to the
Government. 1t is certain that contractors ex-
pect to make handsome profits, and most gene.
rally succeed; and where they fall or prefes.
to have failed, Congress is sure to be called OF
to make good alleged losses and almost Away
grant relief in such cases. On the other hand
the laborer receives nothing which he does no
earn, and the Government pays for nothing i
does not actually receive; it is therefore, OF
that account, most fair and advantageous
But we suppose, from experience, that it viii
be seen such work is always better finished
than contract work. For proof of that opinion
We can only refer to the various buildings done
under the two systems in this city.
We, the citizens of the District of Columbia
therefore respectfully solicit your Excellency tt
adopt the latter mode, unless your power is re
strained by Legislative provisions.
All persons having copies of the above peti
tion, with names appended, are requested
return them to the Office of the Daily america
Telegraph, at or before noon on Thursday.

and medal.
No class Of men have risen to usefulness and
honor faster, of late years, than have the officers
of the American navy. Their ships will ere
long be propelled by steam, and in times of
peace made to subserve useful purposes The
influence of our officers will then be everywhere
felt, and the arts of peace will prosper by their
aid and by-and-by all national wars will be
fought in an international Congress, where,
alone, right shall be might. 1t is the cheapest
as well as the most pleasant mode of fighting.

JUSTICE is SURE, THOUGH OFTEN TARDY.-The
New York Sun Of yesterday contains the fol-
lowing:
"Acguttal Of Ezra Colher.-The trial of Mr..
Ezra Collier, late cashier of the defunct Hayre-
de-Grace bank, of Maryland, upon charges of
embezzlement, took place at Elkton Maryland,
last week, resulting in his entire acquittal. 1t
would appear from the evidence that he has
been the victim of most shameful conspiracy,
on the part of individuals who sought to make
him the scape- goat of their own misdeeds. After
suffering nearly year Imprisonment, awaiting
a trial, he has finally been declared innocent
solely upon the testimony of the very men upon
whose previous evidence before the Grand Jury
the charges were founded. Not o single witness
was called for the defence, as nearly every wit
ness for the prosecution proved innocence Most
of the prosecuting witnesses were directors of
the bank at the time it exploded, and the mode
in which the funds were spirited away was by
heavy depostes of the bills of the concern into
the hands Of individuals who afterwards failed;
these bills had been placed in their hands for
circulation, and their failure to remit other
currency in exchange caused the explosion.
Mr.. Collier is over fifty years of age. He
formerly resided in this city, where he has been
widely known for many years as q high-minded,
upright man, whose probity is far above suspi-
cion. He is the father of q very interesting
family-three sons and two daughters. One of
the former is a member of the Maryland bar,
another is student of divinity at New Bruins
wick college, and the third is now finishing col
egiate studies here. To his family and to a
very wide circle of friends, Mr.. Golfers tri-
umphant acquittal will indeed be satisfaction;
though they well knew that it was impossible
for him to have knowingly committed q crime.
We learn that Collier intends instituting suits
for heavy damages against his prosecutors.
