NEW PRESIDENTIAL MANSION 1t is
said that efforts are being made by a
number of influential gentlemen to
get Congress to purchase large and
beautiful tract of land, on the North
ern side of the city, we'll and favor
ably known to the residents of Wash
1ngton as the resort of picnic and
pleasure parties, for the purpose of
erecting thereon Presidential man
sion, with a magnificent park attach
ed. There is a famous spring of
water upon the place, the ground is
well wooded, and is in every way
desirable for the object proposed,
having al area of between 300 to
400 acres.
The unhealthy location of the pre-
sent Executive mansion is a suffi-
clent reason for another site, though
It's modest dimensions and architec-
ture seem to us more in keeping with
republican simplicity than an ediice
more spacious and stately If we
build palace, who knows, but tic
next thing, we may make king? The
present building is, however, so much
out of repair, that it might be cheaper
to build new one at onco. The sums
expended for repairs would put up u
very decent edifice $4,000 were APP
propriated for that object in 1861; !;
about O,OOO in 1862; 1000 in 1868;
$4,000 in 1864, to rebuild the stable;
besides $1,000 the same year for re-
pairing, reftting and re-furnishing
the Presidents summer residence at
the Soldiers Home. These appro-
priations, in addition to those for
furniture for the White House,
amount, in the last four years, to
$75, 1000, and the Committee on APP
preparations, during the present ses-
sion, announce that a further expen-
diture of $50, 900 for furniture must
be made forthwith.
It would be well enough to build
an Executive mansion which will not
be in such constant need of repairs,
and to have plain. simple and strong
furniture, able to stand the wear and
tear of the multitudinous visitors,
who it seems~regard the dwelling and
furniture as their own property, and
do what they choose with their own.
