e,utive, and they have recourse to schemes
which, II ventilated, weuld rob some of our Off
Gals ut the ulster at their fame: but the idea of
an organized lobby or Third House here Is an
absurdity.-
That thi, Is substantially true, there can be no
doubt. And yet there seems to be some sort Of
influence at work here occasionally which an

One would think that Congressmen would be
naturally disposed to provide, or rather allow,
all the modes Of access to the capital of the
country that might be necessary to insure its
prosperity in time of peace and its safety in the
event OF war; and yet all the world knows that,
for some reason or other, they can't be obtained.

The INTERNATIONAL FAIE.-we clip the fol-
lowing sensible remarks from the New York
Star, the recognized national organ of the work
ing men,
The project of holding Worlds Far ut
Washington, I'm 1s, is being agitated energeti-
cally in that city, and it seems likely that fund
of halt a million dollars win be subscribed for
the purpose. More than two hundred thousand
dollars has already been subscribed by citizens
OF Washington. and the prospects are good for
the raising Of the balance. We have observed
that some hostility has been manifested i'm
some quarters to the proposed Fair; but we think
that the ambition OF the WashingtOnians i'm this
matter Is TO be commended. 1t is to be hoped
however, that if the holding OF the Fair be final
ly decided upon, the country at large will not
TAIL to mite in making il a success. If there
should be any fear of failure il would be far bet
ter that the Fair should never he held"
