Tbs Democrat Of yesterday MAS in al error
reeardinc the new Government building. 1t is
o ,conteted. and Mr. O.burn, the builder, has
pone home to Rochester, n T., but the officers
NJ the Federnl Government have not passed
uoou the building in due form Of inspection, ~
that the keys hare not been delivered Of course
to the Postmaster.
There is another error in The full description
and historical sketch Of the building that ap-
peared in yesterdays Gemoerat. which we
feel more bound to correct, IS 1t was taken
bodily from our columns. An error Of the
t,pes made the first cost Of the contemplated
edi6ce a., 900, and aot ISL 900. From the lat
ter sum it has been explained to our readera
how by successive steps Of enlargement the
splendid building came up to its present mag
ni6cent dimensions ut o:t Of about quarter
Of million Of dollars.
Nothing as yet has been heard from the t
bprsements for the necessary Post Office and |
Custom, House fixtures. Perhaps they feel
little cbeerfulness and desire for alacrity in fit
ting it up for the inevitable occupancy Of Be.
publicans next year. They should hasten,
however, to giva the largest possible period Of
its enjoyment to the present Democratic lncum.

our reply to the fair writer, who evidently in
