sS~ Our hotels and streets already begin TO
wear busting appearance. Members of both
Houses of Congress are daily arriving. That
numerous class of persons known as the Wash.
ngton correspondents of the distant press are
fast taking their accustomed places, and indus
triously furnishing the journals with which
they CORRESPOND, with every variety of rumor,
gossip and news. That still more numerous
class of men, denominated ofiice-seekers, are
assembling in unusual numbers. There is also
an unusually large number Of outside wire.
workers, and managers, whose special business
it is to direct and control the affairs of the ma
ton. Besides these, many strangers are
arriving, who seem to have no other object
than pleasure. Yet, after all, where one man
comes to this city, simply for pleasure, twenty
are drawn here by other motives. Simple
minded, straightforward persons at dis
lance from this metropolis, and unacquainted
with political maneuvring, cannot form any
adequate conception of the amount Of in.
triuging that is how going on here

Democratic National Convention.

The Democracy Of the fourth Congressional
district, which includes the six southerly wards
and Roxbury, held a meeting in this city, last
| evening, and nominated Patrick Riley; esq, of
ward seven, and Isaac Adams, esq, of ward
twelve, as delegates TO the Democratic National
Convention, which is to be holden AT Cincin-
natl in May next. Colonel Riley is /, Demo
crat of the hardest kind of she'll and is one Of
those who believe that-D,lce ct deco7um est
pro pdt,ia mort. He is of the Dickinson school
of politics, out and out and accepts Judge
Woodbury. as the true definition Of the prin-
ciples Of the Democratic party. Colonel Adams
is likewise sound Democrat and, what is
still a grander compliment, he invented the
press upon which this paper was printed.
The cause of the Democracy will be well
cared for at Cincinnati, when such incorrupt-
able Democrats have the interests Of the party
confided to them. Mr.. Riley is one of those
men whose sentiments do honor to their pa
triohsm, and the generosity of lofty magua-
nmity.

IMteresting Case.

case of considerable interest was decided
on Wednesday in the circuit court at Rich
mond, Virginia, Judge Meredith presiding.
The details are as follows:
" Some time ago Mr.. John C. Hobson, of
Richmond sent an order to the office of the
magnetic telegraph, to be transmitted to a
house in New Orleans, for 500 bales of cotton.
In due time the order was, filled, but, to Mr..
Hobson's establishment, he received $500
bales. The error, it is alleged, was made in
the transmission of the message, and to re-
cover the loss sustained, Mr.. Hobson brought
suit against the Telegraph Company. The
case was argued on Wednesday by j. NJ Pat
ton and William Fl. Mcfarland, esqrs, for the
plaintiff, and John II. Gilmer, esq, for the de-
i's and given, to jury for decision.
The result was verdict against the Telegraph
Company for $1,000 damages. An appeal was
taken, and the case will be carried before the
highest legal tribunal in the Commonwealth"

The Colossal Washington Monument.

The casting Of the horse for this monument.
at Munich, is one of the great feats OF modern
foundry, as fifteen tons of bronze had to- be
melted and kept in a state Of fuidty. For
several days and nights previously large fire
was at these huge masses, which required to
be stirred at times. When the bronze was
liquihed, an ultimate essay was made in a small
trial cast, and to beighten the color some more
copper was added. Successfully all the cham
bers through which the metal had to flow in the
form were cleared Of the coal with which they
had been kept warm and the master examined
all the air spiracles and the issues of the metal
the props of the tubes were then placed, and
every man had his duty and his place assigned
to him. Finally, the master, amid the intense
expectation OF the many art amateurs present.
pronounced the words " In the name of God.''
and then three mighty strokes opened the fiery
gulf, out of which the glowing metal flowed in
circuit to the large form. The sight was
magnificent, and in the little sea Of fire stood
the master, and gave his commands about the
successive opening of the props. Hot vapor
poured from the air spiracles in the conduits.
the metal boiled in waves; still, no decision
yet as the influx of the bronze in the very
veins of the figure could be but slow. AT once
flaming showers jumped out of the air con-
duits, and the master proclaimed the cast to
have succeeded. A loud cheer followed, when
the master approached Mr.. Crawford, the artist
OF the Washington Monument, to congratulate
him upon this success. Another cheer was
given to M. de Miller the chief of the royal
foundry of Munich, who had personally con.
