SITE For A New STATE DEPARTMENT BUILD
ING-The Joint Committee on Public Buildings
and Grounds, composed Of Senators Morrill, of
Vermont, Trumbull and Cole, and Representa-
tives Beatty, Smith Of Tennessee, Tanner and
Getz, in company with Secretary Fish and Cen
eral Michler, Superintendent Of Public Build
ings, took an Official peregrination to-day in
search Of a site for new State Department.
The committee visited all the unoccupied pub
lie squares and discussed the adaptability of
each. Secretary Fish was in favor of Lafayette
square, in front Of the Executive Mansion.
Several OF the committee were opposed to this,
as it would spoil one Of the most beautiful parts
Of the city. The joint committee will meet on
Tuesday next and determine upon the site.

Parliamentary Progress-Ths Irish Pains and

LONDON, March 25, 1870
The proceedings In the House of Commons last
evening on the bill for the protection OF life and pro-
perty IN Ireland are very interesting After the re-
lection OF the amendment for reducing the term OF
imprisonment for carrying arms from two years to
one year. the House proceeded to the consideration
Of the clause enabling magistrates to call and ex-
anime witnesses where the defendant is unknown
warm discussion ensued, after which the House
divided ana the clause was adopted.
The clause looking to the closing OF inns at sunset
also provoked long debate, but was at length
adopted.
The bill was proceeded with clause by clause until
the part relating to press prosecutions was reached
An amendment was offered for striking out these
particular clauses.
Daniel 0'DonOnue, member for Tralee spoke at
length against the bill. He declared that the mea
which mad absolutely maddened Ireland, Dy substi-
Cutng local despOts for legal projections. He par
Jlcularly denounced the press clauses which he
amrmed were aimed at law-abding journalism in
resist the bill to the last.
Right Hon. Claiborne Hardy member for Oxford
University, favored the bill. He said the powers it
gave were SAFE IN the hands or any ministry
able TO the Parliament. The clause for press prose-
cut0ns, however, was a waste OF ammunition where
the press was SO worthless.
Sir ROundel Palmer, member for Richmond, elO-
quently denounced the irish press reasonable
and unscrupulous, and the source OF all the delu-
ElOns bnghtlng that unfortunate country.
After further debate tue amendment was rejected
by 3l5 majority, and the House adjourned at a late
