A very intelligent and observing
correspondent Of the Sdndusky Reg.
lister gives some very correct finland
sketches of the prominent members
of the House of Representatives on
the Democratic side:
"The dominant party have not,
especially in the House. any ac-
knowIedged leader; not because
thew don't want them, but because
they have not material TO make lead
ers out of. We freely grant to the
Democratic party their full share Of
the talent, and wisdom, aud states
manship in the State. but they have
not invested much Of it in the pre-
sent Legislature. They have in it
some excellent men, hut they are
young, inexperienced in legislation,
not knowing what TO do, nor how to
do il; and even il they did. have not
that popularity through the State
which will shield any member who
NAV follow their leadership, from
the censures of their constituents
Messrs. Deming. Houk, Means and
Haiv are their best men; bu, with
the exception Of the first, they
are young and unknown previous to
the present session. Mr.. Deming is
an old member, and knows what
ought TO be done, and is apparently
willing 10 do the lair thing. But he
is rather timid in his policy, feeble in
health, weak in voice, and not
enough of demagogue TO be politi.
calIy popular. On the whole he is
a fair legislator. Mr.. H0uk, from
Montgomery, is young, good look
ing man; not much of demagogue;
generally at his post; willing appar
entity 10 do the fair thing; and as
Chairman Of the Judiciary commit
tee. ought 10 command the conf
dence OF his party, on all legal ques-
tionS, and would doubtless do so, Il
few more wears of experience we're
added TO his age. His perceptions
are not the quickest, and his qualifi-
cations for his position on the Judicia-
ry COMMITTEE will increase with his
yeas. He is pleasant man in his
demeanOr, and never runs into party
politics unless occasion demands it..
Mr.. Means and Mr.. Halv appear to
be candid and worthy men. showing
a good knowledge Of business, and
disposition to use their knowledge
to good purpose. Mr.. LeBlond
might be reckoned in the same cate
CORY, though lie has tie premonitorv
symptoms of demagogue--a disease
which Mr.. Weller, who sits near
him, has incurably; il prevades his
whole BODY. and has even struck to
his head and heart. Mr. Lytle, of
Hamilton, is one OF the youngest
members, an able man, never speaks
unless he has something to say; but
speaks out what he has to say, with
out even cleaning his mouth OF the
enormous tobacco quid which he is
constantly rolling when not speak
ing. The remainder OF the mem
bers, with some exceptions, are
rather silent members, though none
the worse for that. A very promi-
nent Democrat is reported 10 have
said that this House is decidedly the
poorest he ever saw"

ENLAMsEMENT OF THE CAPITOL
~ The Committee on Public Buildings of the
Senate, having been authorized by resolution of
that body, :" to invite plans accompanied by esti
mates for the extension of the Capitol, and to al
low a premium Of FIVE hundred dollars for the
plan which may be adopted by the Committees on
Public Buildings of the two Houses Of Congress- y
accordingly invite such plans and estimates, to be
delivered to the Secretary Of the Senate on or be-
fore the first day Of December next.
II is required that these plans and estimates
shall provide for the extension of the Capitol,
either by additional wings, to be placed on the
north and south of the present building. or bv the
erection Of separate and distinct building, within
the enclosure TO the east of the building.
The committee do not desire to prescribe anv
condition, that may restrain the free exercise of
architectural taste and judgment, but thew would
prefer, that whatever plan may be proposed NAV
have such reference to and correspondence with
the present building as to preserve the general
symmetry OF the entire structure, when complete.
Although but one plan can be adopfed. the COM
mlttee reserve to themselves the right to form such
plan by the adoption of parts Of different plans
submitted, should such course be found necessaru in
which event, the committee also reserve to them
selves the right to divide or apporton, according
to their own Judgment the amount of premium to
be awarded for the whole, to those whose plans
may In part be adopted, according to the relative
Importance and merit Of each part adopted.
