LIBRARY OF CONGRESS. The annual
report of the librarian of Congress exhibits
the fact that 12,407 volumes have been
added to the collection during the year
closing December 1st. The aggregate
number Of books now in the library is
258.752 volumes, besides about $4,000
pamphlets. In the copyright department
there have been Ii, 1852 entries made during
the year, and the librarian has paid into
the Treasury the sum of $13,4 as the
receipts from copyright fees. This exceeds
the entries of the year preceding by about
ten per cent. The librarian reports the
accessions to this library as unusually val.
liable, including an almost complete set of
the county histories of England, pur-
chased In London, and very important, and
throwing light upon the history and
geneology of thousands of American fami-
lies. @ #
The rapid growth Of the library and of
the copyright business of the country, rem
der the necessity for new building to
accommodate its overfowing stores an
imperative necessity. While retaining in
the Capitol a sufficiently large library for
legislative and judicial use, Congress has
already authorized the preparation of plans
for separate building, and the commission
appointed to select plan will shortly
make the award Of premiums. The loca-
ton of the building, however, is not yet
selected. - Washington Specialto Baltimore

THE Administration has earned praise
from all political parties for its prudent
management OF our difficulties with Spain.
Mr.. Beck, of Kentucky, in manly way,
the other day, expressed on the part Of
the Democracy of the House their appre-
citation Of this fact. He said that "if there
was anything which the President had
managed well, twas the negotiations with
Spain. The President might have plunged
the country into difficulties, and perhaps
aggrandized himself at the expense of the
country but the course he had pursued
had been extremely moderate and wise. !"
OF the secretaries who have had most to
do with this matter, Mr.. Fish is warmly
praised for his tact and prudence in the
management Of the negotiations, and Mr..
Robson for the notable promptness and
energy with which he put the navy on a
war footing in case the emergency should
rise for its use.- Washington Star.

The above statements from the Lexing-
ton Gazette, and is copied by the Richmond
Wing this morning, with unfriendly COM
ments upon the Oranges. The author is
laboring under mistake as to the politics of
Colonel Curtiss, which, we presume, it will
do him the justice to correct.
Colonel Curtiss has been an earnest and
we presume On honest opponent to the
Republican party to our own knowledge
for six years. He was one Of the earliest
advocates of the farmers movement and of
that phase Of it known as the Oranges or
Patrons Of Husbandry. He was gallant
soldier of the Union army, serving in its
ranks with distinction from private to the
command of regiment, and was terribly
wounded at Charlottesville. No truer .
purer,, braver man lives than he. We
have known him for over twenty years,
and his whole life has been devoted to the
elevation and improvement of the working
classes. Much Of the time he has devoted
to editing or corresponding for agricultural
papers. We employed him for time in
that capacity, but he has not been
connected with The JOURNAL fol
several months. We assure our
friends of all parties that Colonel Curtiss
is not politician, and that his work as
Deputy Of the National Grange has no sig
nifcance beyond the simple desire to MAKE
our agriculture more prosperous and pu
our people in conjunction with th'
mighty West for the common cause Of in
dustry against monopoly. a'a
