location, at comparatively little cost. This
addition to the Capitol grounds is necessary
TO preserve the symmetry of the Capitol, as it
will appear when completed. We take it fer
granted that the owners of the private prop
erty within the limits prescribed above, will
at once agree to sell to the Government at an
actual cost value, as the interests of all their
fellow citizens are involved in the success of
the project of the Hon. Senator from Missis
sippi.
Office seeking.-By the way of showing
the Stars readers what time of it the off,
GERS of the House have had lately under the
pressure Of applications for subordinate places,
We publish the following list of applicants

one or more members. The following is the

The Kansas Question.-The reader will
perceive that the majority report of the House
Elections Committee on the Kansas question,
made yesterday, bases the claims of Mr..
Reeder wholly on rights above and beyond
law-or, in other words, that those claims are
without the slightest pretence of legality to
stand upon. 1t is exceedingly denunciatory;
almost as much so as the speech of Mr.. Grow
that shortly followed it; which was, we regret
to write, in sentiment little more than what
Mr.. Giddings has so often preached to the
House, ad nauseum.
We are perfectly willing to rest the cause
Of Gen. Whitfield as involved in the case, on
the two reports-that of the majority and Mr..
Stephens's counter report embracing the pow
erful argument from the pen of tho General
himself We trust that the House will order
the printing of, say half a million copies of
the two papers, that the country may have an
opportunity to read them side by side The
Republican party, however, will move heaven
and earth to prevent the report of Mr. Ste
phens from accompanying that Of Mr. Hick-
man throughout the non-savehoding States.

one hundred and eighty miles through the

Marcy vs.. Clarendon.
The Yankees say " Lord Clarendon
Is talking rather sarcy;
But don't let's fight! it's much the best
To let the Lord have Marcy"
