B Nor THE LOBBY IN FULL BLAST AaAN:-
We notice in the Congressional proceedings
that q bill was reported by the Committee on
Public Buildings, and adopted by the House of
Representatives, sppropriatiug the snug sum
Of seventy-ive thousand dollarr for the relief
of Charles +. Anderson, as payment for plans
and drawings for the Capitol extension. When
Mr.. Fillmore was President designs were in
vited for the Capitol extension. Among many
others presented was one by Mr.. Anderson.
This was considered the best, and was accepted
"a such, though the design was modified In
some respects in its application. Mr.. Ander-
son received the premium or payment for his
plan. We do not remember what the amoant
was, and are under the impression il was a
small amount, and, probably, too small. For
some reason Mr.. Anderson was not EMPLOYED
as the architect. We think ii woulDbave been
but just, and according to custom, TO have an
ployed him IN that capacity when his design
chiefly was accepted; still the government was
at liberty to employ any one it chose, and he
had no right p demand The position. The
plan, ~ carried out, IL materially modified,
whether for better or worsc we do not UNDER
take 10 discuss. Under these circumstances
we cannot conceive what claim Mr.. Anderson
has for the immense sum Of scventy-five thou
sand dollars. It looks very much as IL the
lobby was In full blast again.

and can testify as strongly as the radicals de-
sire of the temper of the Southern people while
he had his heel on them. He need not be
required to speak of the time. The temper of
the South when he was there may be accepted
as that Of the present time. We would not re-
commend that he be sent al commissioner, as
it might not be personally convenient, and as
his past experience is very full and will answer
the purpose. We recommend, however, that
Horace Greeley, Wendell Phillips, Susan B.
Anthony, Carl Schurz, and other such like
impartial philosophers, be called to testify as
to the discouraging state Of affairs in the South,
the temper Of the people, and SO forth. This
will answerjust as we'll, will save expense, and
will satisfy the country quite as much. Still,
there need be no hurry about the matter, as the
Reconstruction Committee is not expected to
report for some time, and for all practical pur-
poses We scan anticipate what their report will
be.

fish race appear 10 have curious notions about
honor and Official responsibility, ~ was ex-
empliasd recently in the suicide OF the Spanish
Admiral Pareja, commanding the feet in
Chilean waters, because Of temporary dis
aster in the loss of one Of his vessels. Here
was an officer who represented his government
six thousand miles away from home, not
only as o naval commander but as an ambas-
sador, with the whole charge Of the cause Of
his country in that region absolutely dependent
upon him, and yet at the first sign Of calamity.
in the capture Of one of his little cockbOats
by the enemy, he blows out his brains-if he
had any-rather than brave whatever personal
obloquy might be attached to failure in the
performance Of his duty.
How differently would an American sailor
have acted under the circumstances He would
undoubtedly have repaired the loss Of one
vessel by inficting terrible damage upon the
enemy, and would probably have embraced in
the same bulletin to his government the loss
of one Of his own ships and the capture Of
half dozen Of the enemy's. The most curious
part of the extraordinary transaction is that
the Spanish newspapers not only endorse the
conduct of the Admiral, but glorify it. They
declare that the pompous and foolish Pareja
did precisely what a Spanish soldier should
have done under the circumstances--tha u.s.
in plain words, to leave all the concerns Of his
Queen and government. feet and troops and
all, with which he was intrusted, to take care
Of themselyes, and save himself by a cowardly
exit from the world This was not the pre-
yailing Idea Of fhe duty 81 Spanish soldier

with not half the mon that Admired PAreja

like the barbaruus hari-kari system 81 Japan,

CONFLICT OF JrR1sD1cT1oN m PETERSBURG.
Some time ago young man named IAN E' III
Gordon. of New Bedford, Mass, arrived IN
Petersburg and registered under a false name
at the Bellingbrook Hotel. Not long after bis
arrival he went to Bob Clarkes livery stable
and hired horse and buggy, to enable him,
as be alleged, to visit his parents in the county
of Prince George, He left the city and was
gone some days, when Clarke, alarmed tor the
safety of his property, sent an cttlcer after
Gordon. who overlook him in Surry county,
whore he had endeavored in vain to dispose OF
thss horse and buggy, and brought him to re-
tersburg. He was produced before the Mayor,
and 5bv him committed to stand his examlna-
ton at the term Of the Hastings Court Just
past, but for want OF a material witness MS
case lies over.
yarded to General Howard, Superintendent OF
Elliott, NJ G. from the New Bedford District,
in Massachusetts, praying that the culprit be
taken out of the custody Of the civil authori-
ties of the State Of Virginia, whose laws be
has violated and turned over to the military.
General Howard has referred this appllca-
ton to Col. Brown, Assistant Commissioner
Of Freedmen, &c., at Richmond. It was en-
dorsed by Col Brown and forwarded to Gov
Peirpoint, who qpprore9 1t, and with his ap p
proval sent up to Gen. Terry, who referred 1t
to Lieut.. Col. Anderson, commanding. this
post, with instructions to- turn the prisoner
over to Captain Barnes, and Capt Barnes was
directed to forward him to Col. Brown, with
all the evidence in the city.
The order was served upon the Sergeant Of
the city, who, in view Of his heavy bonds and
responsibilities, declined to accede to it, and
there the matter rested last night.
Col. Anderson went to Richmond yesterday
with the view of further consultation with
Gen. Terry, but as he had not returned at this
writings o'clock-we are not informed OF the
result.
The above we understand, are the facts Of
the case. IF the prisoner is returned, it will
have to be done by force, and such action is
involved with much interest and delcacy.-Ps-
te1s5urq Inder.

GRAVEL STONES FOR FOWLS.

Did you ever dissect the gizzard of a
hen, turkey, gooselor ducks The gizzard
and gravel stones in it, serve the purpose
of teeth, in reducing the food to small par
ticIes, in other words to facilitate digestion.
The feed is swallowed in chunks, or the
grain is received into the crop unbroken.
Here all such substances are softened, and
passed. little at a time through the giz-
zard, which is surrounded by strong mus
cles; and when food is passing through it,
it dilates and contracts similar to the mo-
ton of bellows, and the food, kernels of
grain, coming in contact with the gravel
stones is separated and torn to Pieees.--
After the process is completed, the food IS
digested. These little mill-stones, as it
were, do not remain long in the gizzard;
they are carried out with the food, and
new sstis brought along to bethus ground.
Now if the fowls are confined, as they Of
ten are, where they cannot have access to
all the sharp gravel they need, their diges-
ton must be imperfect, and they cannot
do well, especially if fed on whole grain.
Fowls need sharp gravel stones within
their reach TO. swallow every day, and if
they do not have range, gravel should
be Skept-by them, in their inclosures.-
