prsusrations are making for the ceremonies OF
the Inauguration Of the Statue OF Washington on
,hs oad February. From orders published by
M,,oR ,rsrxAI TALiArfxRo, Il appears that he
intsnds 10 marshal the military part OF the cele-
brstion Ia proper style. There will be an unu-
snaly large assenblage here andas the hotels will
Be alled to overaowing, the citizens will have to
open their doors to their country friends, which
we are sure they will do with their accustomed
hospitality.
The proceedings Of the day win be attended
with considerable expense, and the ways and
means are the objects Of inquiry and suggestion.
A correspondent from Chesterfield thinks that the
State ought to foot the bill of expenses for that
portion Of the military assemblage here which
comes from . distance. He further suggests that
. camp be established at the Fair Grounds for the
accommodation of such visitors. Such . camp
would be altogether uns1ited to the season, not.
withstauding its mldness. There 10 ample room
wesuppose, In buildings in the city, where they
can be provided for much more comfortably. We
doubt whether the Legislature will appropriate
any money beyond the immediate expenses of the
unvsiiing of the Statue and the arrangements ne.
csssary for that ceremony aud the orations. Fl
nancially, our Legislators are very costive this
winter. At all events, Richmond has never asked
money from them TO take care of the stranger
within her gates, and will not do It now-though we
do not suppose there would be anything inappro-
pirate In an appropriation by them of something
towards providing fer the large military assem-
biage that viii be drawn hither by the interesting
ceremonies Of the installation OF the Statue OF
Washington

LibeIs,

1t has become very common to haul up Northern
editors before courts of justice in suits for libel
Heavy damages are often claimed and sometimes
awarded. In large dailies, like those of Northern
cities, gotten up by considerable number of per-
sons II must be next to impossible always to avoid
the breakers which our Northern contemporaries
sometimes run upon. The New York Express was
lately sued by the Austrian consul for libel the
damages being laid at $4,000, though the objec
tionable paragraph was hastily copied from an
other paper by the night editor of the Express,
and was afterwards fully and explicitly dsavowed
and contradictsd by the editors. In case like
this, the general character Of newspaper ought
70 have Its weight with the jury. The Express
has never been given to libelling private charao-
ter, and, In such case, good reputation should
protect Journal from lawsuits, or if they are
brought, should induce the jury to exercise the ut
most leniency TO the defendsnt, especially when
he has offered all the PREPARATION In his power
There are, however, newspapers In our large cities
which live by defamation, and would as soon rob
man Of bis reputation as kpocket would take
. watch. Such nuisances ought to be summarily
dealt with, and their general bad reputation
should induce juries to pile on the damages, and
show NO mercy to those who have shown none to
othsfa

French Domestic Habits.

The Paris correspondent OF the New YORK Her
aid, referring to the general idea that the French,
- o nation, are not domestic, which, to certain
extent, IL probably true, says that nevertheless
their appreciation Of family ties, their fondness for
children, aud their tenderness and sympathy TO-
wards poverty and debility are much greater than
10 observed In England. The French, the writer
thinks, are more generally genial In the express
sion Of their sympsthies The rulers Of France
have always been aware Of this, aud sometimes
used it to great purpose. "If anything" says the
correspondent, 'could have saved Louis Philippe
from his fall, II would have been the national ten
dernsss towards his fine family. But, as a case In

triaing incident which occurred yesterday oppo

asm than had ever witnessed ON any previous oc-

Prince Imperial was on his return from the Bots

Lancsrs, whose huttering pennons danced gaily in
the breeze, when the carriage Of the Empress met
him just as his cortsge was ascending the brow Of

The Raising OF the Statue.

The measures taken to raise the Statue Of Wash
ingtou TO the top of the Monument are nearly
complete The great shears or masts, with their
huge blocks and ropes, adjusted. or nearly so,
and In . few days long and 8 strong pull will be
made to hoist mp the horse and rider. The apps.
ratus 70 strong enough to lift up double the weight
and II all goes right, the work will be done in
little while after IL 10 begun.
These extensive arrangements give forcible
idea of the great weight of the Ststue and we re-
orr with renewed admiration to the achievement
Of the people In drawing 1t from the Dock to the
Capitol. That event proved the power of human
force employed in such manner. Few underst God
the extent OF 1t and more than one intellig ent
gentleman expressed his satisfaction at the result
since IL had discovered new and almost unlimit-
cd force, to be employed in emergencies. By what
other agency were the immense piles Of stone
reared In fabulous times, that now stand the OBJ
jeets Of wonder-piles consisting of hugo blocks,
tquarried at great distances, and transported, no
doubt, by the same agency that fitted them to the
places where they now stand? The people are in

they are constantly telling them

The LIT. Gnvernof.

The unanimous election of WIN. L. JACKSON, Esq,
to the office of 1t. Governor under the new law
passed by the Legislature, has given the occasion
for bestowing upon that gentleman high compli-
ments from several quarters, which are well de-
served.
We are glad that the vexed constitutional ques-
ton concerning the Office of It. Governor, which
30 long racksd the brains of the constitutional
lawyers of the Legislature, has at last been de-
cided; and it is somewhat singular and crafty
ing compliment to the gentleman elected, that
those who differed and debated so much upon the
law should have united SO thoroughly in bestow-
ing the Office upon him.
