The City of Washington.

The late Congress made extremely liberal
appropriations for different objects in this city,
amounting in the aggregate, exclusive of the
pay Of government officers, to about two mil.
lions Of dollars. A considerable portion of this
amount was appropriated for the improvement
Of parks, and other "waste places" and when
expended will put quite another face upon the
exterior Of the city. The triangular space at
the intersection Of Pennsylvania avenue and
Fourteenth street. long an eyesore to every
resident and visiter, is included among the
grounds to be improved, and, by another year,
will form one OF the chief ornaments Of the
avenue The circle at the intersection of K
street and the Avenue, will also be enclosed and
planted, and will then form Appointment feature
in the attractions Of the West end An appro-
priation has also been made for Franklin Square,
an elevated and beautiful park, and destined at
no distant day to be surrounded with elegant
mansions.
The appropriation Of $4,000 for the water
works, will enable the engineer to make con-
siderable progress with that important i'm
provement, which win probably be completed
in the next three years, provided the requisite
appropriations are not withheld
The new dome Of the Capitol, for which
100000 were appropriated, will increase the
present altitude Of that edi6ce to 260 feet--or
or only fifteen feet less than that Of the spirc
Of Trinity Church, New York. It will be con-
structed Of cast iron, from beautiful design
by Mr.. Walter, and will form the most remark
able feature in the architectural embellishments
Of Washington. We have seen the plan, and
can say with confidence, that we know Of no
similar erection on either continent that sur
passes II in elegance or harmony Of proportion.
The enlargement Of the General Post Office
will occupy the remainder Of the square on
which that edifice is erected, and bring its
northern front face to face with the Patent
Office.
II will ever be n source Of regret that gov
eminent should have squandered so unneces-
sarily the large real estate it formerly owned
in this city. It was once the proprietor Of one
half the lots within the city limits--a small
portion of which it sold to defray the expenses
of the public buildings. The remainder were
sold chiefly for mere song, and it isnow COM
PEELED to purchase back the same property at
an advance Of from 1000 to 5000 per cent? A
greater folly has never been perpetrated by any
government in the world and the consequence
is that a portion Of the public buildings, erect
cd at great expense, and in style Of architec-
ture highly creditablc to the nation, are so
hemmed in by unsightly private structures, as
to render them invisible from any advan-
tageous point Of view. Even the Capitol, ele-
waited as is it's site, win DO partially obscured,

WASHINGTON, March q, 1855.
Having been appointed by President Polk
justice Of the peace for Washington county, in this
District, served out that term Of three years At
It's expiration was re-appointed by President FIJI
more, and that term expired ON the goth day Of
January last. There were eleven vacancies oc-
CURED at the same time, In Washington county, Of
whom seven resided in this city. OF those seven,
but three, of whom was one, attended to the ac-
tive duties Of the Office. or the whole number,
my name alone was withheld in the denominations
sent to the Senate, all of which were confirmed on
Friday, tho 10th day of january; seven Of whom
were Roman Catholics.
Feeling little sore at the exception which has
been made, particularly as the income from the Of
fee was the sole support Of myself and family, and
regarding il also as an imputatioh on my charac.
ter took the liberty Of calling the morning Of
the Gath Of January, on General Gushing, the At
torney General, in whose hands this business is
lodged to learn If possible, the cause of my pro-
scriptlon. He received me courteously, and then
told him had called on him to learn why had
been left out of the list of Justices who had been
re-nominated and whether there had been any
charges made against me- He replied, / had no
right to ask for any information on the subject
and he would give none, without authority from
the President. told him knew who the men
were, who were engaged in the affair, and the
charges brought against me; that the only charge
they could bring against me, was that had voted
| for John T. Towers, as Mayor of Washington He
said had no-rght to complain, as voted with
party, that was the most proscrptive. I told him
| had lived here for thirty years, and could bring
thousands Of citizens who could testify to my char
acter. After further remarks withdrew.
On the I'd instant, having been informed he
wished to see me, again visited General Gushing.
| He then told me / had taken an oath which, in
substance, was violation of the constitution, and
was perjury. replied / had taken no oath Of the
kind. He then asked me if had not taken an
oath not required by law answered, had. He
said it was for me to explain what 1t was, and
had better consider on it, and call again next
morning
Office; and having called on yesterday, found
him. / reminded him that he had directed me to
call again, that / might explain the oath had
taken. He replied, he did not wish me to explain,
nor did the President wish it. told him had
called to say would make no disclosures; that he
had on Friday accused me Of perjury He denied
having done SO. said, if he had not, did not
understand the English language, and added, that
this was the first time politics had been allowed to
interfere in these appointments He rose from his
seat in a rage, and ordered me out of the room,
and, although started to leave, he called loudly
and rang his bell for his messenger, and, in the
most discourteous language and manner, ordered
him to turn me out of the room.
