ton of the previous year, a balance OF >.'o-
600, OF this sum Il considerable portion,
some 500. 900. must necessarily be paid To con
tractors. as balance retained from them to
secure the faithful performance OF their con
tracts. The rest we hear. with the SoO'NuO
appropriated will he expended IN continuing
the construction Of the south wing, suspend
ing the work on the west wing. In that way
it is hoped that the main force now employed.
NAV h" retained until Congress shall AGAIN
meet. if called together earlier than usual. AS
is anticipated. We hear that the granite
contractors nave ut this time Il force OF twelve
hundred hands employed, and three vessels
constructed wholly to transport the stone Tor
this building and utterly useless for aug.ht
else. If it becomes necessary to violate the
Governments contract with these parties, the
damages they will probably tand justly OBJ
tain from Congress in the end on that account.
