THOSE anxious to remove the Ma
tional Capitol from the banks of the
Potomac to those Of the Mississippi, or
some stream still further west, may DO
interested in tho fact that the public
buildings in Washington have cost tho
people the snug sum OF $43, 72G, 800.
1t will require at least as much more
to erect suitable structures in any new
LOCALITY that may be chosen, and those
we now have will BECOME worthless.
Moving the Capitol Of the nation Is
too expensive a luxury for this genera
tion, and no one advocates the change
on the ground Of necessity. For the
present We have as much as we can 90
to grapple successfully with the debt
aud taxes.

A PARTISAN STEAMER ATTACK
EDRY A HIPPOPOTAIUS

A number of our brave friends, the
modern Gauls, were terribly frightened
on the 9th of July. The incident is told
by a correspondent of the London Daily
Times
THE novel sight of hippopotamus
swimming about in the Seine was wit
messed yesterday with almost as much
alarm as wonder by hundreds of people
on the river, in the neighborhood of the
Point d'Austerlitz. The water draught
has so reduced the water supply in the
cisterns of the Jardin des Plantes that for
some days past the hippoPotamus has
not been able to take his bath in the
gardens. His keepers take him on a
low wagon, drawn by two horses, to the
bank of the Seine, and let him go into
the river as far as the length of a strong
iron chain attached to his neck will al
low. The hippopotamus grew so strong
upon his healthy swimming that yester-
day he broke his chain, struck out, got
into the middle of the stream, and pro-
duced a tremendous panic among the
boats, which his whale-like hulk threat.
ened to upset. In his frolic he lifted his
nose to the height of paddle-box of a
steamer, and set all the passengers
screaming. His approach cleared in a
| jiffy a washerwoman' barge and the
Austerlitz bathing establishment. Half q
dozen boats went in pursuit of him. Sew
eral keepers succeeded in getting on his
back, but he got rid ofthem by plunging

remained attached to his neck, slipped

What act of despotism has Napoleon
ever committed, . asks a New York pa
/ per, (which King William has not at least
| equaled. if not exceeded, in Prussia p
! Well, this for one. Being sworn to de-
fend a Republican Government, he ov-
erturned it by military farce, subjugat

massacre of hundreds-many say thous-
ands-of unarmed and inofensive men
and women, and the summary impris-
onment and exile of the best citizens.
and then made himself Emperor. The
means by which he mounted the throne
was wholesale murder, and no political
phraseology can make the crime less
What has King William done like this
~ T. Zi1blWe.
Our financial interests abroad would
suffer infinitely more in case of a Ger
man defeat than from any other result
of the war. Germany holds, according
to Secretary Boutwells estimate, nearly
a thousand millions of dollars of Ameri-
can bonds, and, if Germany were pros
trated, which could not take place with
out more than one, or two, or three bat
ties, the small holders of these bonds,
as well as the speculative holders,
would be compelled to surrender them.
In France, on the other hand, no appre-
ciable amount of our bonds has ever
been taken. and they are not even quot
ed on the lists of the Bourse. In this
respect, therefore, a French disaster
would not affect us, while the discomfit-
ure of Germany, would cause great det-
riment and mischief in this country
~ T. Tribune.
Napoleon is so prodigal just now of
his promises to the people of Germany,
whom he hopes to win over to his sup
port, that it may not be amiss to recall
his promises he made some time ago
when he appealed to the people of
France. In making his attempt at
revolution in I84O he issued the follow
ing proclamation:
