We are assured that the cause of the peculiar
malsdy which has afflicted the bOarders at the National
Hotel at Washington, Is to be founi in the fact that
all the sewers leading from the house have been
stopped up dunng the Winter. Thus the filth they
should have earned off has been accumulated under
the house filing it with miasna. The place in which
meat WAS hung previous TO being cooked was We are
told especially exposed 70 these putrd and poisonous
exhalaiions; asd thus ii lie supposed, some Of the
boaIders were made sick who might otherwise have
escaped

the subject, the house has been closed and seen

New states.

The House proceedings on Saturday, were
important. They include the programme
for three new States. Bills were reported
fixing the boundaries of Minnesota and Or
egon, and providing for elections to settle
the question of state governments. A bill
was also reported in reference to Kansas,
but its fate is more doubtful. 1t will be
seen, however, that all these measures, arc
likely to have the sanction of the House.
What the Senate may do in regard to them
is another matter. But we suppose that
there will be no serious opposition to admit
ting Oregon and Minnesota. The popula
ton of Minnesota is stated to be 175,00O ol
100000 Oregon is about $4,000. Ne
braska, will, we suppose, come next. 1t:
population must be nearly as large as thai
of Oregon, and will increase rapidly. W.
regret to see that Mr.. Grow has made the fu
ture state of Minnesota so large. Its are;
is 10000 square miles, or one half large
than Ohio or New York. Minnesota is des
tined, we think TO be very densely popula
ted. 1t is country abounding in lakes ant
streams, and is favorably located to attrac
a very heavy emigration, and to sustain
vast amount ofpeople 1t ought, therefore
to have been made into two State7.
