LIGHTS AND SHADOWS ~ WASHINGTON.
So much for Southern gossip; now for items a
| little nearer home. Last night we enjoyed a
somewhat genial excitement in this city. The
''raids" upon the New York hotels have led our
| authorities to believe that similar iucondiary
| attempt might be made upon the public build
| ings. Accordingly the preventative, patrol
| force, was used; and members Of clerical reGi-
| ments donned their armors and stood watchful
| sentries over Uncle Sans institutions.
The incendiaries, however, did not come and
the morning broke with the blaze of the rising sun
alone II may be that incendiaries are in ON
midst, but l opine they are political rather than
material in their objects. Such, for instance, are
Cabinet makers, policy shriekers, deteat-pro
| phets, loan originators, and Chief Justice ap
pointers. During the past week three incen
| diaries have been kindling fires of Jealousy
throughout the haunts OF great men by asserting
that Secretary Stanton is TO be Chief Justice il
| place of Taney, deceased, that Butler is 10 sue
coed Stanton, and that Whiting Will wear the tOgl
| of AJtoIney-GeneTal Bates.
While thus gossip runs wild and knows no
! where to take its permanent habitatiOn, Wash
iDgton moves on not less sluggishly than the
! canal which casts forth its fragrance in ou
midst. There are, however, increased signs o
| vitality, and Congress drawing on apace maketl
| ye boaIding-house keepers TO rejoice. Board
however, is very high,and increases in ample pro
portions its price each week rolls by. If the elC
quence OF the coming session only reaches as hig
figure the dust of Webster will rest uneasily. Th
anniversary of the st. Andrews Society occur
next Wednesday evening. Governor Curtin an
General Cameron have accepted invitations TO 3
present and add to the festivities of the occasion
The Society Is for the better afiiiaton of Scotch
men in tAis country, and has been productive
much good. The memorial in memory of III
victims Of the calamity at the Washingto
| Arsenal, in June last, is to be Of fine Greca
marble, twenty-five feet in height, surmounte

whilst in the discharge Of duty.
