IMPROVEMENTS ABOUT THE EXECUTIVE MAN
sloN--ih pursuance OF an appropriation made by
congress, at It's last session, for a conservatory
and stable ard various other Improvements about
the residents House, the plans Of the said i'm
pIovements made by Mr.. Clark, architect, were
adopted, and the new stable has been erected in
the south end OF the old flower gardens. The
building Is large and commodious, having sta
BILE room for eight horses, large room capable Of
containing four carriages, an extensive harness
room, wide passage through the centre, and hav-
ing on the second floor a large room to contain
hay, besides two rooms fitted up in comfortable
style, to accommodate the Presidents groom and
coac hman. The building is constructed i'm mod
eTn style, and is fitted with every convenience
that the ingenuity OF man could well conceive
Great regard is paid in its construction to vcntl-
lation, by the construction Of cold air chamber
which conveys the air from without through al,
iron grating In front of each horse while throuph
narrow windows in the rear, the air, as fast as
used, passes out. The floors are puddled down
in clay cement; and, an experiment, one OF the
floors is TO be Of guta percha, which is said 10 he
well suited Tor such purposes, when made of the
proper consistency. The water is conveyed fro,n
the old stable pump by means of lead nine n ali
tue rooms, and, passing off underneath, is con-
Eeyeo away by sewer leading into the main
sewer OF the grounds
Ii has been feared that the construction of tho
stable at this point would mar in some degree the
beauty Of the flower gardens but the construc-
lon OF the new conservatory at the western ex-
VIII give occasion IOT tDe removal or the
Hover gardens from the present locality to the
grounds adjoining the new conservatory and now
used as vegetable garden, and the old flower
garden Will be converted into winery and fruit
garden. The new conservatory is in course of
construction under the charge of J B. Turton
builder, and Is to be one hundred and seventy
feet in extent by thirty-two feet wide and eigh.
teen feet in height. 1t will have a main and pri-
vate entrance from the west end of the Presiden-
tial MansiOn-one leading from the Congress
dining room and the other from the private rooms
of the President. 1t is intended to have this con-
servatory filled with the choicest green house
plants that can be obtained from all parts of the
world. IL is TO be heated by means of 4 steam
apparatus from the mandatory of Mason, of
New York, who furnished the furnace last wear
FOR the Presidents House. which has given en-
tire satlsfaction--being self-regulating and eco
nomical In point of consumption Of fuel

The TILER AND ScoTr DIFFIcrL1Y.-Mr.
Walter Leno1 has issued the following card in
relation to an affair which has occasioned some
talk:
g Having heard sundry versions Of personal
difficulty between Major Henry b. TYLER, of
Washington city, and Mr.. Robert F.. Scott, of
Fauquier county. Virginia, in which am named
as the agent and responsible friend Of one OF the
parties, think proper to state that the 18th of
August last, at the request OF Major TYLER |
waited on r.; +. Scott, Esq =, and informed him
that Major Tyler had placed in my hands note
to be delivered to him. and that it was induced
by the course which Mr. Scott had pursued
towards Major Tyler in his speech before the
Criminal Court OF the District Of Columbia in
defence Of the rioters at the municipal election
held on the first Monday OF June past Without
presenting or announcing the specific character of
the note which was authorized to deliver, but
In the exercise of that just discretion claimed
by myself as due to all parties concerned |
deemed IL proper first to express to Mr.. =. a
regret that any hostility should exist between
gentlemen of their high standing and friendly
relations, and that 1t was my earnest wish
10 prevent any serious issue between them
then informed him that Major TYLER felt deeply
aggrieved at the course pursued by Mr.. s. on that
occasion. Mr.. ;. expressed his surprise and re-
greet that such was the case, and that he was not
conscious or having transcribed the privileges of
counsel; that il Ma; or Tyler would point out any
Offensive remarks ne would cheerfully withd raw
them. i remarked il was tine general tenor and
manner Of his address Of which Major TYLER com
planned, as injurious to his professional and per-
sonal character. Mr.. :. then said that he dis
claimed all purpose of intending to reflect inju-
rlouSly or unkindly upon the character OF Major
Tyler as gentleman or his conduct as an officer;
and that In his speech he had aimed to exonerate
the officers Of the Marine Corps from censure as
they acted under the orders Of their superiors II
il proper to state that Mr. s. distinctly stated that
in making these explanations OF his purposes
and feelings, he by no means intended to abandon
or abate his rights avoid his duties as counsel
