Editors N. G. Standard:
GENTLEMEN: The hot weather which we have had
lately does not to lessen the ardor of members
of Congress for debate There to be no chance
for tho ending of the Illinois and Kansas contested
election cases during the coming week, we are 70
Judge by the doines of the past five days. The
Kansas case is particularly the hottest and it VIII
doubtless be aggravated by the appearance OF Gov.
Reeder the contestant, about the Capitol.
Mr.. Herbert's second trial, (the jury disagreeing
in the first is progressing with undated interest
It Is presumed by nearly every ono that he will DC
honorably acquitted, the testimony for the prosecu-
ton being of that character which will have but lit
lie influence the minds Of jury composed, as IS
the present one, of men with good common sense.
Mr. Herbert's case has been the subject OF severe
comment by partisan papers, and 1t is to oe regret
ted that there men here who would sacrlhce MS

At the Jewelry Store of Mr.. II. O. Hood, on Penn
sylvania avenue near Ninth street, yesterday saw
a very beautiful specimen of American manufacture
in the way of an embossed and very richly chased
silver tankard; present to the Hon. Preston s.
Brooks from sundry citizens of Talahatchie county,
Mississippi. 1t will soon be presented to Colonel
Brooks. do not know that I ever saw more ex.
auiste workmanship anywhere than that bestowed
ON the tankard in question. Hoods establishment
is Of the centres of attraction in this metropolis
His supply of gold Watches fine jewery, silver
&C., il most extensive, and his rates OF selling are
low indeed. Hood follows the good old motto
"auick sales and short profits" His elegantly tit
ted up establishment is well worthy of visit by
those who visit here, and who may desire to pur-
chase articles in his line.
1t twas the general impression yesterday that the
President sent to the Senate for confirmation, the
nominations Of Mr.. John Forsyth, of Alabama, to be
minister to Mexico, and William Ferne, OF the same
State to be Secretary of Legation The Senate will,
in all probability, confirm these nominations at an
early day, although they were not acted upon yes
terday.
The recent letter of Mr. VIM. NJ. Burwen, late
Editor of the american Organ" published in this
City, giving his reasons for deserving Know Moth
ingism has caused some of the X. Ms to open their
eyes. 1t falls with convincing force on the minds OF
all opposition men in the South who have not made
up their minds to be used really to aid the election
o! Fremont under the pretence of supporting Fill
more. If the Presidential election fails before the
people and comes before the Household help US!
1t will be the absorbing business of that body from
the commencement of the session until the 4th OF
March. No public business will be transacted, and
it is not probable the House will make any decision
that will not leave behi:ld it, on the Sd OF March,
disturbing ISSUE
A rumor adoat here yesterday that prirate
news had arrived by the steamer Fulton, which
sailed from Havre on the I'd inst, and arrived at
New York day two since, that the Central
American question between the United States and
England had been adjusted by Mr. Dallas. have

AS there are citizens of your neighborhood con-
SANITY arriving here, let me give them few words
of good advice, which may be to their advantage
If they desire to stop at well-kept, conveniently
arranged hotel, where the accommodations
peror and the charges moderate, let me direct their
attention to the "Depot House." kept by Mr.. Chris
,ian Boyle, and located within three minutes walk
of the Capitol, and directly opposite The Baltimore
Depot Here they are sure of good edibles, clean
bedrooms and unsurpassed bar fixtures" such

Our city is filled with gentlemen of this profession
but as know some of them are rather poor cobbers
at the business, Unjust direct attention to Dr. Owen
Munson, whose Office is Hoods jewe!ry store,
he being considered by all to be the ne plus ultra
of dental operators among u.s. DR.. Munson inserts
what called Aliens patent continuous gum teeth,
in the most superior style, and is the only one here
who has the right to do it. These teeth are beauti-
full indeed, and are arranged that in nasticating
ones food no cavity is left open in between them
where any substance can remain, thereby prevent
ing disagreeableness of breath, &C.
And lastly-Tallmadge, the great daguerreotypist,
located on Centre Market space, between 7th and
Sth Streets takes the finest kind of pictures for fifty
cents. Yours,
COSMOPOLITE.

MEssRs. EDlroEs: Will you permit me- through
your columns, to say few words in commentator
of the present management of this weknown sum-
mer resort? Though several times near there was
never at Shocco until recently and before arriving
there was satisfied that the location was favora.
bic one.
The town Of Warrenton, believe, has long been
considered healthy place; and the road thence to
Shocco passes through beautiful country, very bro
ken, of primitive formation, and from appearances,
Astounding in pure water.
Shocco itself is finely located, and ought to be
healthy place independent of any mineral water
