ITO be, or not to be.r-Han,let
An impression prevailed, to no in
considerable extent in the country that
on the return of the Legislators from
New Orleans, that the Fist of
their acts would be to "tafe down" the
Capitol and place it in some favored
locality, where ease and elegance
might be enjoyed by those who sacri-
fee their lives and fortunes as repre-
sentatives of the people. We had en-
deavored to be correctly posted on
this subject, and for this purpose spent
an hour on the morning Of their return
in knocking about the places of resort
and marching in and out Of the house,
to ascertain the true condition" At
length we came to the conclusion that
if there was conspiracy, the wires
were too deeply laid for the Surface"
observer, and SO We went home to more
profitable employment. We were not
. little surprised to find that both
4ouses went to work, without saying a
word on the subject, and We at once
supposed that the wise thought had oc-
cured to them, that prehaps the same
members would not be returned to The
next legislature. and it would be folly
t. move the State House, for few
weeks Of enjoyment, when it can be SO
managed that the House will adjourn
on Thursday or Friday, thus giving
its members time to go down" and
spend Saturday night in that noted
place for good morals and virtue, the
city of New Orleans.
We think the subject Of removal
now at rest, and though our remarks
have been rather1tungent, prehaps ILL.,
advised, yet we must sly now again,
as in the offset "that we do not care a
pins fee." We had much ratheI see
the House removed at once, than to
hear the subject talked of, and the
time monopolized by fruitless discus
sions. A legislature has never set
here that the same growing has not
occurred.
Talk about the lack of accommoda-
ton, it is m lch better than it ought to
be under the circumstances, and We are
very sure that they will not be better
until the removal subject is put to
rest forever. We would like to ask
any calculating" member of this pre-
sent assembly how they can expect.
that our citizens will erect magnificent
Hotels to come up to their transcen-
dental notions of comfortable" when
it is expected hourly, that they will
take whim that the liquor is not as
good here as it is at the Shades and
move the House to New Orleans It
is ridiculous to anticipate any such
hazardous OUTLAWS, by our million and
q half of "millionaircs." They are
many things that might be proposed to
our Common council-things that cur
citizens would all be willing to, to i'm
prove and beautify the grounds about
the capitol-the removal of the Mar
ket house from North Boulevarde
street, and the opening Of Lafayette
but who amongst the selectmen will
hazard his popularity by proposing to
open street that will be damned when
the State House is removed.

Mr.. Everetl's speech.

The speech Of Mr.. EVERETT, on Central
American Affairs, delivered IN the Senate, on
Monday last, is described as an exceedingly
interesting and able production. We shall
publish it at an early day; meantime, readers
will be glad to see the following notice OF it,
made by the correspondent Of the JOWa1i o.

He explained the present condition of our
relations with the Central American States.

Undue importance may have been given to
the reports of Capt, I.o.in,s' proceedings IN the
capture of San Juan. The accounts thus far
received are conflicting and 1t is dl'cul' to de-
tcrmne Whether our officer was, or was rot
justified in Tie extreme measures to which he
rcSorrcd. The letter to the \. \ Tribune
copied into our columns yesterday, in winch an
attempt was made to eXoncrlte Capt IIoIhns
from all blame IN the matter, makes no mention
of secret orders, but conveys the impression
that the prompt interference of that officer in
the quarrel between the Transit Company and
the San Juan authorities, was entirely unpre-
medltated, and lntenlrd simply TO protect the
persons and property of the company, M their
character OF American citizens. Other ac-
counts, however, a, cor Ing to the New York
