Mn. A. r. sPoTToRD, the Librarian of Con-
gresS, calls, in his last report, the attention
Of the National Legislature TO the fact that
the number Of volumes added to that institu-
ton during the last year was over ten thou
sand, and that tho present accommodations
are entirely insufficient for the purposes Of
the library. II now contains 24s,S45 books
and nearly $1,000 pamphlets, which Mr.. Spot
ford thinks will be increased to seven million
volumes In less than thirty years. Congress
should Immediately take steps toward the
erection Of a suitable library building. The
Capitol is entirely too small, and any arrange
ment for the library In it can be in the very
nature Of things only temporary.

THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT AGAIN.

THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT AGAIN.
To the preparations for the celebration of
the centennial bf Independence We are, perhaps,
indebted for the present discussion by the
newspaper press Of the Washington national
monument A large number OF Journals, In
different parts Of the country, have, within
the last month or six weeks, expressed the
opinion that some decided action should DO
taken on the subject one way or the other
The blame and the discredlt Of It's non-com-
pletiOn rests with Congress. The National
Legislature first Of all suggested Il, and II was
only when Congress abandoned It that 1t was
taken up by the National Monument Associa-
ton under an authorization from Congress.
The experience Of nearly quarter of CEN
fury shows that the present plan Of building
the monument Is failure, The contributions
received from year to year are scarcely more
than sufficient to pay for the watchmen around
the crumbllng column. The New York Tones
yesterday had an article On the subject,

THE TREASURY ANDTHE ATTORNEYS

THE THEA5UhNA NDThE AlIOhNEhS -
Knowing Secretary Boutwell, TO be a man
Of strict integrity-one ever ready to mets
out iustice-we are at loss 10 know by what
force Of reasoning be justlaes his recent order
in regard to attorneys and claim agents.
What equity Is there in Depart. nent giving
the claimant the right at the last moment to
revoke his power OF Attorney-givinA' him the
option Of compeusating his attorney or notP
There are hundreds and thousands OF
claims which have been prosecuted for years,
attended with great labor, sacrifices, and
even expense, where contingent fees are tie
only prospects; and now, after having blAZed
and cleared the land, the hardy pioneer Is to
be summarily swindled. Have the attorneys
and agents less rights as American citizens
than the claimants2 Oh, but thoy swlndle
the claimant That ls, and has been, n coz
mon cry. But there Is about Us much truth
In that assertion as there Is that members
Of Congress, or clerks In the Departments, as
q class, are corrupt. We know many men
In this city who throughout the war and since
have practiced before the Departments, max
| ing q record clear for integrity and honor,
and II an agent does not do right, have the
Departments not adopted suspension aud
even expulsion? Or Is the honorable Secre-
tRry In fear that the enterprise and intGlli-
gCnce Of the attorneys dePlste the vaults Of
the Treasury too fast2 True, II this order re-
mains In force many claim, just in every
sense, will lie dormant, and compel the
claimant to travel here at great expense, lg-
norant at best, and finally to fall victim TO
ShystSrI and lobbyists who congregatS at the
hotels, thus inhlctlng an injury In tho very
direction II Is sought TO benefit
Do attorneys charge sIhOTbitant foeS ?
Claimants have their remedy first by con-
tract second, by appealing 10 the Depart
ment which has, by usage and statute, re-
served rights. Or Is 1t possible that the order
has been inspired by some inferior mind OF
the Department to give monopoly Of De-
partment business 10 those who eat the bread
Of the GoVSrnmept In order to betray la So
crstsl Looked at from any standpoint, there
are questions Of great and vital Importance
Involved In this order, and we confidently
trust that the honored Secretary will review
the whole question, and revoke an order
which strikes at the privileges OF one without
benentinR the other.

Mr.. Richard H. Garrett, of Caroline county,
Va, who is now applying to Congress for COM
pensation for losses sustained in the burning of
his tobacco house and contents by the orders Of
Col. Conger, who commanded the forces that
were endeavoring to capture j. Wilkes Booth
and D. c. Harold in April 1865, has publish
ed statement concerning the affair referred
to. 1t vas in this tobacco house, near Mr..
CARROTS residence, that Booth and Harold
were concealed, and which was fred in order to
bring them out. Harold surrendered, but
Booth was killed before he would give up. The
narrative does not give any circumstances of in
terest which we're not before known, but shows
that Garrett was ignorant Of the true names
and characters of the persons who came to his
house. and took shelter from pursuit in the
tobacco house.
