The COST OF BUILDING THIS YEAR.


Increased Prices of ateriaIs-PrOspects.
The Commercial and Financial Chronicle of
New York has the following interesting article on
the cost of building;-
Until about the middle of 1868 building ma
terials sympathized but little with the general
advance of prices; for the reason that large
stocks we're on hand, which, in connection with
a dullness in the trade and moderate wages,
enabled new buildings to be erected at a nomi-
nal advance upon old prices From that time
up to the spring of 1865 the advance was by no
means proportionate with that of produce and
manufactures. At that period, however, the
demand became so pressing, and the stocks OF
timber and lumber so largely reduced, while
wages were also doubled, as compared with
former rates, that the prices OF materials at
once rose 10 about one hundred per cent over
those current at the commencement of the war.
This advance was followed by reaction of
about ten per cent, whi ch has since been sue
ceeded by another upward movement; so that
to-day the cost of building averages more than
at any previous period. Below we give an in
teTesting table showing the prices of the various
building materials in September for five years:-

are decreasing. The waters are rapidly sub
siding. but the ravages that have bee made on
urivate property are found TO be very great.
Entire nocks and herds have been swept away
and destroyed, and even in Paris, where the
Seine has not overrun the banks, the water has
filed the cellars of the houses, and caused much
inconvenience and damage.
The Pompeian Palace was quite overhowed,
and the furniture and goods were seen floating
about the lower story in most glorious con-
fusion.
The Exhibition Works
have been in part stopped by the rising of the
waters, but they will soon be continued again
with renewed vigor.
The Champs de Mars presents a most lively
aspect, and the exhibitors will soon be able to
take possession of their allotted spaces.
The exterior of the palace is nearly finished,
the park is laid out and the pdrte'Tes planted.
The private establishments are rising up rapidly,
and, altogether, the appearance of the EXhlbi-
ton of 1867 is most promising.
The theatres in Paris are getting little
br1sker. We have had some good new pieces
and have some excellent promises for the
season.

WASHINGTON, April 81.
SENATE.
The Senate is not in session to-day,
having adjourned over until Monday.
HOUSE.
The proceedings of this days session
were, by order, confined to general de-
bate on the Presidents message.
Mr.. Nicholson, of Del, was the first
speaker. He took strong grounds
against the Constitutional Amendment
in regard to representation. BE con-
tended that the effect of it would be to
destroy the federal character of the
government, to produce consolidation,
and to subject the people to the worst
kind of despotism, and that of consti-
tutional mHjorities there was no pro-
priety in it. The States themselves
were the best judges as TO what con-
cerned their internal order and we'll
being.
He was followed by Mr.. Perham who
took a diredtly opposite view of the
question of reconstruction. He con-
sidered it of little Importance whether
the late rebel States were regarded as
dead according to the views of some
members of Congress, or as having
their functions suspended according to
the views of the President, the grea:
fact remained that in either case it was
the duty of Congress to provide for the
establishment OF State governments
which should correspond with the
spirit of those provisions of the Consti-
tuition requiring Congress to guarantee
to the States republican form of gov
ernment. This was about what
Congress had been going to do for
the last five years with but partial sue
cess. 1t was the duty of Congress to
see not only that new States to be ad-
United had such form of government,
but to guarantee to the old ones also.
If there were not loyal men enough in
the South to fill the offices some of the
federal heroes OF the war should be APP
pointed to take part in the adminiStra-
ton of the government of the Stqtes,
which they had saved by their valor.
In these States the rebels We're now in
the ascendency, loyalty was the excep-
ton and disloyalty the rule on whom
devolved now the duty of deciding
whether the late rebel States were in a
condition to be represented in Congress,
not in the Executive. No such power
was delegated to him, not in the House
of Representatives nor the Senate, act
ing independently of each other, but in
the law making power of the Govern
ment it was the duty of Congress to
take the whole subject into considera-
ton as it was now doing, and to decide
what guarantee should be required to
equal and exactjustice to all citizens.

WASHINGTON, April 22.-The French
minister had an interview with the
Secretary of State yesterday. 1t is said
he presented the formal adhesion of the
French government to the principle
of non-intervention as explained by the
Secretary of State. The Emperor cor
daily and kindly replies to the Uuited
States, and agrees to withdraw his
troops from Mexico in three detach-
ments. one ofthem next November, and
the others in May and November 1867.
The full and final correspondence be
tween the two governments, which led
to this important result will at an ear
ly day be sent to the House of Repre-
sentatives.
The Senate committee on Commerce
have not yet come to any definite con-
clusion on tho subject OF the nomina-
ton of Mr.. Smyth as collector of Gus
toms mt New York.
1t is expected that the Committee of
Ways and Means will early this week
report some of their proposed amend
mcntS to the Internal Revenue Bill and
especially those relativeto incomes and
exemptions. They have not yet con-
sidered the branches with regard to to-
bacco, distilled spirils and the admin
istratiOn of the law.
1t is the opinion of prominent Con-
gressmen that the present session of
Congress will be closed early in June.
ApOrG from Lne SuUJeCI Ol IeCOuSlIuC-
ton all other business can be closed IN
several weeks.
The Secretary of State in February
last, writing to the late Daniel S. Dick
inson, in relation TO the steamer Me-
teor, which was seized and prevented
from being used as Gillian privateer
against Spain, said the President is de-
termined that the neutrality laws of
the United States shall be administered
in good faith with entire fairness. The
principle thus announced will, there is
no doubt, be rs strictly applied in pre-
serving the peace between Great Bri-
tain and the United States should the
Fenians seriously endanger it,
