Tue SMITHSONIAN GRoUNDs.-We have made
inquiries in regard TO this locality, and find that
these grounds were never in better condition
than ut present. To be sure, this is not saying
much, as all can see that great improvement
can and ought to he made. That this is not
done, is not the fault Of the Commissioner of
Puhlc Buildings, as the appropriation made by
Congress is moi sufficient for the purpose.
There ought to be brick pavement through
the grounds at Tenth street, but Congress does
not feel authorized to pay for it. The offer was
made to pay half the expense Of this improve
mcnt, hut the Institution declined to pay
the other half. The abominable and dangerous
condition of the Tenth street bridge is to be
laid at the door Of the corporation authorities,
rs We have been Informed.

TRAITOR HEADQUARTERs.--The kimmel
House, situated on street, between Al and 9th
streets, has long been suspected of containing
a nest of traitors, from whence "aid and com
fort'' is often sent to the South In the shape of
contraband mail, and occasional supplies of
medical stores and other goods, of which the
south stands SO much in need. Lieut. Col
Doster, the Provost Marshal, has had his eve
on this den OF traitors for several days. On
Monday morning he gave orders to the proves
guard Of the 10Th N. j., under Captain John
son, to watch the premises and seize the stage
which left that house for Maryland regularly.
Lieutenant Franklin was charged with The exc.
cution Of the order. He stationed a few of
his men at the kimmel House. and with others.
he watched the stage which left the house for
Leonardtown, Nd, about Z o'clock. He was
directed TO seize the stage at some distance
from the house.
When the stage arrived at the corner of Penn
sylvanin avenue and Third street, Lieutenant
Franklin ordered a halt, took possession of the
stage, and ordered il driven to the Office of the
Provost Marshal, where two new trunks filled
with quinine, and three other boxes of medical
stores, were taken out and placed In charge OF
the Provost Marshal. The packages were Ia.
beled for "Leonardtown, Md They were
sent by a man named Rosenfeldt and two Other
Jews, who have escaped. The guard also sez.
ed large rebel mail at the Kimmel House. The
proprietor, Mr.. Kimmel, was arrested and sent
To the Old Capitol, and his house closed. It IL
u source of great satisfaction TO all the loyal
portion OF this community that one of these
nests for the Matching of treason has been
squelched by the energy of Provost Marshal
Doster. Doubtless there are other places Of a
similar character In our midst, which ought Ia
be visited. It au

MATYLAND AvENuE.-The Government de-
pot, on this avenue. near Ninth street. is now
quite busy place. A large number Of trains
are stopping there daily, and much storage is
sent forward. building, thirty by sixteen
feet, is now being erected for the accommoda-
ton of men employed about the depot and on
the track us barracks.

THE CAPIToL.-This building is now in process
of thorough renovation, preparatory 90 the as
sembling of Congress on the LIST of December.
The basement now cleared of the bakery is being
replastered, and the blackened, SCARED and di-
lapidated walls and ceiling will soon give place
10 n beautiful series Of committee rooms. The
recent use of the halls and corridors of the
main edifce and wings for hospital, brought
its accompaniment Of soaring, scratching
and DETACHMENT of the walls of the building.
Mr.. Galway, the painter, with a force of work
men, is now actively engaged in removing
these stains and giving the surface of the
rooms thorough coating of paint. The SEN
ale chamber and the rooms attached have been
greatly improved. New carpets have been laid,
the wall handsomely painted, new furniture put
in or the old revanished, and look of neat
ness and freshness pervades the whole. 1t is
hoped that future necessities Of the Government
will not compel re-occupation of this magniG-
cent structure for any military purpose what
ever. Its use as a barracks, then as n bakery,
and lastly as a hospital, has cost more than the
actual construction OF suitable buildings for all
these purposes. The work on the wings is now
progressing rapidly. When the pillars and
porticoes are completed with the other external
adornments, the Capitol win challenge COM
parison with any other In the world. The dome
will be covered in by the LIST Of December, al
though il is estimated that the work will not
be completed In less than two years.

ALMOST A SERIOUS CATAsTRoPHE.-Ther Is
a large tank, holding about eighteen thousand
gallons of water, located in the upper portion
Of the Senate wing of the Capitol. Yesterday,
one Of the pipes leading from the same, burst,
suddenly, and, but for the timely discovery, by
Mr.. Bassett, one of the door-keepers, the whole
suite OF rooms connected with and including
the Senate Chamber would have been flooded.
The amount of damage to the beautiful and
costly walls and ornaments of the rooms can
not be estimated. The evil was remedied al
once and the disaster prevented, thanks TO the
sharp lookout Of those In charge of the rooms.
