REPAIRS TO THE CAPITOL.

JUDGE GILEs'S DECISION IN THE CASE OF
GENERAL WooL.-Thc Baltimore Sun says
that in the United States Circuit Court on
Wednesday, after full argument, Judge
Giles gave his opinion, and stated that II
was no ground of protection to the COM
mander in the department, even II he acted
on the basis OF reports made TO him by
those in whose representations he coniided
and believed to be true; that he acted on
the peril of the responsibility, if it after
wards turned out that the representations
were not true, even if he acted in good
faith, without malice, and in the gentest
manner, Notwithstanding that military law
existed at the time, and the suspension OF
the writ of hd6tdS corpus. Further, that
the acts of Congress OF 1863 and 1866,
whilst they exempted subordinates from
responsibility in civil action, where they
acted under orders of the President OF the
United States, the Secretary OF War, or
commander OF the department, they dld
not exempt such commander OF depart
ment from responsibility, however pure ms
motives, if it turned out that he acted on
erroneous information. Judge Giles then
gave Judgment on the demurrer for PLAIN
tiff. A Jury was then sworn, and the case
continued until to-day. Alfred d. Evans
has a separate suit against General " DOL
with the same cause OF action.

Company it is decided that plaintiff who
was injured by locomotive crossing u

of the ladies composing this association Is
such that they have been compelled to

n heretofore announced, is to receive,
take charge, and dispose OF all such ar

| Mr.. Y. TURNER statedsthatit was ascer-
tanned that all the tax levied by the State,
save that on property, would be necessary
to meet the demands upon the treasury In
July. If postponed beyond June there
would be deficit in the treasury. The
amendment changed the long-cstablished
policy of the State, and he hoped it would
not pass.
Mr.. CLARK, of Pittsylvana, also opposed
the amendment a one changing the policy
Of the State, aud as unnecessary to the
taxpayers, who could easily pay the license
tax.
The House then disagreed to the amend
ment, and the bill was returned 10 inc
| Senate.

slider himself shaken by the hand, and feel
assured that they had his best wishes ana
his hope that they might all speedily ana
happily return to their familicS-an adicu
which was recognized by cordial bows ana
gesticulations 10y the House, showing that
if the body was disinclined to allow eight
per cent. interest on money, there was II"
limit to the percent. Of good feeling that
prevailed.
The bill was then reiectcd-ayeS, 30
noes, 50. And Mr.. Il. Turner, to make It's
end more definite, moved reconsideration
of the vote by which it was defeated; which
motion was rejected.

ASSESSMENT OF LICENSES.

The House took up the bill for the as
sessment on licenses returned from the
Senate with amendments.
Mr.. CRuMp stated that the amendments,
except one, had been concurrea IN by the
Finance Committee OF the House In an III
formal conference.
The first amendment limited the exemp-
ton from taxation on articles manufactured
within the State to such as are sold W me
manufacturer. Agreed to.
The second amendment limited the
amount so manufactured, to be so sold
without taxation, to $500. The bill as 1t
went from the House put the limit at
81 900. The House concurred in the
amendment. lFor sales over $500 ped
ler's license is requiredj
There were various other amendments,
which we're read Seriatim and concurred
in, down to the last, which provided that
one half of the license tax shall be PAID
when the license is issued, aud the other
half six months after.
Mr.. CRUMP opposed the amendment as
hazardiug the accommodating moiety TO
the chances OF business-and embarrass-
ing the treasury for means at the time
when they are most necessary. The IL
cense TAX is necessary to meet the July
interest.
Mr.. KELLEY sustained the amendment,
TS;oh.ending that the persons taxed through
,h were the heaviest taxed people in
.ne ota'e. They generally paid . double
Tax, State and corporate. He thought
.ncte would be no embarrassment to the
sas, Tor the interest was payable

assembled at the corner of Fifth aud Chesnut

o'clock, headed by the Coroner aud Deputy
Coroner, to inspect to ruins. On arriving at the
spot body of volunteers, principally composed
of our lndefatisable 6remen, we're engaged in
exhuming the remains of one of the unfortu-
mates, which we're subsequently recognized as
those OF George Dilkes, an engraver.
After some delay at that locality the jury we're
conducted to an undertaker's shop in Hunter
street, below Eleventh, where we're found the
remains OF three human beings, so charred by
the fire as to be totally unrecognizabe.
After some deliberation the jury were duly
sworn by the Coroner, aud a meeting was
appoint ed at o'clock on Monday afternoon, at

party then walked to Mr.. Kings place of busl-
ness, for the purpose of inspecting steam
valve which bad been thrown by the force of the
explosion on Mr.. Kings premises.
