.b.v ala not do this, let US award to the Committee
on Repairs and Supplies the praise to which
tbev are entitled for having given the highest
premium TO the design which most nearly re-
.eubles the old City Hall in it's general charac-
ter. Thepresent age is clearly not an inventive
one in architectural design. on either side of the
Atlantic The new additions 10 the Louvre, In
Paris, projected by Louis Napoleon, by which
that immense pile is to be connected with the
palace of the Tuileries, are from the designs OF
NJ. viscOnti, which are strictly in harmony with
the additions made by Perrault nearly two hun
dred years sgo Neither England nor France
can exhibit any architectural improvements upon
the designs of lie Mesurier, lie Van, or Perrault,
and even our own City Hall is but small ex-
ample of their school.
Our Corporation committed very great error
in crampiDg the invention Of our architects by
limiting the cost of the building to $500, 600.
What the City req1ires is suitable accommoda-
ton Tor the public Offices, and building which
shall he in harmony with the genius OF our instl-
tutor and the general wealth; and, as it must
stand in such close proximity to the old Hall, 1t
should be neither too mean nor too magnificent
for its companonship while its style should be
perfectly congruous and harmonious. The other
public buildings in the Park are both mean and
INC nstrous, and every one of them should be re-
moved as soon as the new building is completed.
The public money is never SO we'll expended,
except for sanitary and educational purposes, as
in public buildings of a semi. monumental charac-
ter 1t is of great importance to have s,ne
great public works which belong to the people,
to serve at once as objects of public pride aud
as great uDehangiDg educators, teachers of refine
ment and elevators of public taste and sentiment.
The effect of such buildings cannot be over
estimated, and their first cost is a matter of Sec
ondary importance.

THE NEW CITY HALL.

In the erection of new public edifce for City
like ours, where every inhabitsnt contributes his
quota toward its cost, and the character and in
telligence of the people are to be preserved in
marble lineaments upon its walls for the edifca-
tion of our posteIity, it behOOyes the people to
see that they are not misrepresented by it, aud
that their money is not misapplied. But it is
ominous for the cause of popular government and
the artistic instincts of our citizens, that they
seem to regard the erection of a new public
building which is to be paid for by their own
money, as an affair with which they have nothing
TO DO. The erection of new City Hall in the
Park has not calstd 1.-THE of the talk and COM
motion among US that the debut Of Gris and
Mario has Occasoned. In fact, we doubt very
much if one inhabitant of the City in hundred
knows that there is such thing to be
done, OF conceives that he has any right,
much less a duty, TO know or say anything about
tie matter. The stOlidity of New-Yorkers in all
affairs relating TO the prosperity and Ornamental
ton Of New-YOrk is truly marvellous. They are
as Indifferent about the safety Of their city as the
Irish passenger was about the safety Of the ship
because his own life was insured Every mau
builds his house to suit himself and lets the Cor.
poration do the same with the public buildings
II the Corporation were elected on account of
their peculiar ftness for their duties it might be
" ell enough to let them alone. But city corpo-
ratons, like poets, are non III, and the people
might by this time be satisfied that their
public servants, as they are sbsurdIy called,
will not only bear very close watching but need
a good deal Of prompting. If they have shown
themselves heretofore peculiarly unit 70 conduct
the ordinary business Of the City, what can be
expected of them in such important matters as the
erectionofnew buildings ofthe characte :Ofthe City
Hall, which demand high order of intelligence
and cultivation The character Of the City is
implicated in its public ediices and they should
properly represent the intelligence, prosperity and
refinement Of their builders. People who marvel
at the comparative magnihcence and beauty of
the old City Hall, which was built when the
wealth and population were hardly tenth part
Of what We can now boast OF, should remember
that il was built under the Mayoralty of Edward
Livingston ard De Witt Clinton, style of men
We have not seen in that Office during the past
twenty-five years. They were men who had the
prosperity Of the City at heart, men Of cOmpre-
hepsiye minds and cultivated tastes, who we're
more intent on increasing the attractions Of the
City. and enlareins its commerce than on the
business of swelling the votes Of their party by

SMUGGLING AND BRIBING.

We had the honor of visit last evening from
certain Mr.. Heilbuth, one of the parties now
under examination before Mr.. Commissioner
Morton, on charge of smuggling. Mr.. Helbuth
requested us to suppress kis name in connection
with our reporters account Of the examination
as the case was not yet decided and the publica-
tion would do him great injury. We would will
ingly have done so until decision had been rem
dered, but after he left we received note from
oar law reporter, of which the following is a
copy:
To ne Editor Of The ~ Y Tribune
slR: Mr. Heilbuth examined charge OF smuggling da
as il viii nure his credit he says If it that he
charged with smuggling He made very liberal offer to
and not suppress The associate district Attorney Mr. Joa

examination they belonged the public but he did scqu
rston pryst He also hnted that II the name appeared he
would prevent hereafter from obtaining refuse to give
or rule: stand Commit. ..oaors have too
much TIE I&% OF The TsUsE
1t is hardly worth while to comment upon this
barefaced attempt at bribery. Whatever benefit
Mr.. Heilbuth will receive from the suppression
of his name in the regular report will be fully
compensated by its appearance here. But the
interference of Mr. Commissioner Morton, and
bis apparent anxiety to have the name suppre ssed,
is matter of more serious import to the public.
Had he requested the reporters, at the outset,
not to print the name, his motives would have
been unquestioned, and the accused smuggler
would have been spared the disgrace of adding
an attempt at bribery to bis other troubles. But
when the Commissioner Of United States Court
attempts to brow.beat and bully reporter into
such an act, under threat of depriying him, and
of course the whole people, Of knowledge of all
the business coming before him to which the
United States is party-such as slave-catching
smuggling, piracy, mutiny, revolt, murders at
sea, and Post Office robberies-whatever legal
power he may have to do SO, he perpetrates
moral outrage Of very grave magnitude, disgraces
the Office which he holds, and lays himself liable
to the 5uspicion of collusiOn with the party who
has just attempted bribery for the same end. Mr..
Mr.. Morton, however, we presume, only
develops his real sentiments toward the
Press. He has evidently desired to ex.
clude reporters from the room in every
case where he has had fugitive slaves in his
clutches, as his behavior at such times proved.
We wait to see whether he will now attempt to
put in execution his menace in behalf of his brib-
ing client.

The letter of our Paris correspondent, pub
lished in to-dsy's TRIBUNE, gives precious ac-
count of some Of the abuses of our diplomatic
and consular system in Europe. 1t appears that
Mr.. Belmont-the Democratic purist who paid
out Of his breeches- pocket $50, 900 or so to aid
Gen. Pierce's electiOn-has determined not to
restrict his chances Of repayment to the sa'ary
he receives-which, doubtless, and very much
more, he spends. As Sheriff Alspice said at the
feast, Ladies' and gentlemen, don't spare tbe
"pickles, there's plenty more in the shops" or

Charge near the Hague, mixes up the graceful
amenities of his diplomatic position with the
profits of the counter. In one word, he has
opened shop under the very nose of the Court,
employs clerks to count "de m0nish," and is the
same there as here-sgent of the Rothschids.
"sink the shop" is moldy adage-putrescent,
it would seem, in the eyes Of our Charge near the
Hsgue, and to be thrown overheard. II msy,
however, be urged that Mr.. Belmont is right so 10
bring down the sham and spange Of diplomacy 10
the level of the rough realities Of Wall-st. The
only difficulty in the premises is that he was not
sent abroad with such intent, but the order
"pure and simple" was to take charge Of Amer
lean interests, if any should require it, in the
land Of pipes and canals. His own interest he
may choose to call American, bat it's identi6ca-

The Baltimore Patriot makes the reduction in
the sze Of THE TuDVSE the text fer animated dis
course, in which it shows that New-York has been
ruined because resist the extension OF Slavery and
don't like the foggine of women and children. Our
oppositcn to these little emusements has frightened
southern merchants from Newiork, and hence all the
rest of the trouble. We believe The Patriot is slightly
mistaken. Southern merchants do indeed keep away
from New York for the reason that they can't pay
hesy StGts there is no doubt that il the jobbers of
this CITY had not trusted southern traders for the past
three years they would be great deal better of
than they are.
The S0sh C0Yoiihias says that in some parts OF
that State Harpr has been dropped by its patrons,
and that in Montgomery, Alabama, the booksellers
have packed up and returned the September number
of Putnam all on account OF articles on the Nebraska
question. No great loss we fancy. Probably there
are more Of those magazines sold on the New-York
Central Rairoad cars alone than taken by all the
slave-dri,ers OF the Union.

THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS.

We notice that the restoration Of this Important
library is rapidly progressing, 1t will be remember
cd that at the time of the destruction Of the main por
tions Of the library by FIRE, about twenty thousand
volumes, deposited in adjoining and seperatc rooms
were saved This portion Of the library included
the chapters on law numbering from eight to ten
thousand volumes Mr.. Jefferson,s valuable collcc-
tion Of works on American history and politics
&c. &c. To this collection, as a nucleus for tho
new library, as many more volumes have no been
added, making at present library of forty thou
sand volumes. Many works Of great value have
been secured, amorg which may be mentioned the
larger works of Humboldt, Champollion, Rosel-
lini. &C.. &C. Lord Kingsborough's Mexican Anti
quities; the British Parliamentary History and
Debates, complete, from the year Of our Lord lOGO
to 1858 the Journals of the House of Lords and
Commons, from 1909 TO 1858; and the Parliamen.
tary documents, from 1914 up to the present time;
the last named work alone numbering /, 500 VOL
umes. Also, complete copy of the London Ca
zette, from lO65 up to this date complete file Of
the London Times from its commencement; the
Boston Sentinel, from 1889 to 1929 the Aurora,
from 1892 to 1929; many rare and valuable works
ON natural history, American history, &C., &c.
Two special appropriations were made by Con-
gress to supply the burnt portion of the library
one of $4,000, and another of $4,000; and We
learn that only about one half Of the amount has
been expended ON these new purchases. Orders,
however, have been sent out which will nearly
consume the balance OF these appropriations.
The statement which was made while since
that the recent additions to this library cost four
dollars per volume, it will be perceived therefore,
was quite wide Of the mark. The average cost Of
the purchases aswe learn from tho Librarians
only one dollar and ninety-fve cents per volume:
which, considering the number Of rare and expen-
sive works which have been secured, and superior
and durable style in which the entire library is
bound, cannot be considered high expenditure.
The new books which have been ordered will
more than fill the new room. They are expected
to be received in the course of few months, when
is believed the Library of Congress will be fully
restored, both as to numbers and value. A cata-
ogue of the library is in process of construction on
the Smithsonian plan, which is designed to be
completed in the course of q year.-Daily Globe.
