THE sTArE cAPIToL.


 At last the House has expended it's ora tory and come to a vote on the Capitol question. The majority in favor of the one capitol amendment was only seven teen. Unless this majority is largely in- creased in thenext legislature there will be no chance of the two thirds vote necessary foritssubmission to the people. We should judge that the most remarkable speech of the debate was made by Mir. James E. Babcock of New Haven, who apostro- phized the skull of MT. Dixwel, the friend of the regicides, after the manner of Ham let in his famous interview with the skull of Yoriok. It always seems little unfair for live man to take advantage of dead one in that way, but when we consider that MT. Backcock is just as much fossil as Dixwell, or Hamlet, or Julius Cesar, the appearance of impropriety vanishes.
 We notice that the New Haven papers claim that the Representatives opposed to the amendment represent majority of the population of the State. If that is the case why cannot New Haven safely sub nit the question to the people and settle it forever? as43 ss-

The contractors have begun laying the new concrete walk, which is to extend from the New England House to the low CT end of South street. and it will be- com pleted in short time. The contract spec ifies that the walk shall be six feet wide and the work of the best quality, so that it will be credit to the place. After this contract is completed it%is probable that the same style of walk will be put down in River street. and in other localities.

In addition to the attractions inside the tent it is rumored that there will be a fine display of fireworks on the evening of the Fourth. 8ISo.

A WAR PRESIDENT.

We see from the Eribune thatsour pres. ent government is an extremely. cowardly one; that it ought to fight Great Britain, Spain and perhaps one or two other for eign nations, before the summer is over. We also notice from the same papers that our navy is absolutely worthless. If MT. Greeley is elected there will unquestiona- ply be a fight, and we shall be tremen- dously thrashed. That the Tribune proves conclusively. We can easily guess what kind of B letter a Spanish admiral who had burst into New York harbor would get from the Cincinnati president:
