tice, and should be, as contemplated by Con-
gress, very materially modified, He espresso
desire to see the relations between the federal
government and the District more positively
dehned He thinks that Washington, now the
political, is destined in the inmediate future n
be the literary and art center as well. He be
heyes in the liberal adornment of the capital

COMMITTEE.
In the Senate to-day, Mr.. Morrill, of Yer.
mont, from the Committee on Public Buildings
and Grounds, which committee was charged BY
q resolution of the Senate Of the 4th instant
with investigating the Washington Market
Company, made a report, which was ordered to
be printed. The committee quote the 1lth SEE
ton OF the act of Incorporation, which provides
that within sixty DAYS after the company get
possession or the real estate they shsll begin
the construction of the buildings, which mus
be completed within two years; and say thai
the fact that the construction of the mali
front building WAS not begun within the timt
when all the buildings were 10 have been com
pleted and that the whole front is even nov
entirely vacant is proof that the company has
failed 10 comply with one of the main condi-
tons OF the act OF Incorporation. The remova
OF the old, uDsighty market, and the erection
of fne building IN its ste sd, WAS an attractive,
argument TO induce Congress to grant thu
charter. 1t would appear that q strict compIi-
ance by the company with the conditions of the
Charter was never intended. The committee
after reviewing the evidence, say that they
have found no evidence of fraud upon the part
OF any oftcers OF the company. They appear
TO have had all the time the advice OF legai
counsel, ana doubtless supposed they were do
ing what they had a legal right to do, bat the
committee feel bound to say that II appears tC
them that the company has failed to comply
with the conditions of the act by which they
we're incorporated. 1t is not, however, for the
interest OF the United States to demand any for
fixture or to injure the property of the company
III the company should neglect or refuse TO ful-
fill the remaining obligations of the charter, il
could not object to the disposal of their i'm
provements to the District at a fair valuation,
and which by the terms of the charter they were
TO do at the end of thirty years, II 70 required.
The committee believe the company will be
ready and willing TO retrace any wrongful steps
that may have been taken, and DO whatever
they should be required to do; to this end they
should have ample time. Therefore, no action
a. to the company will be recommended at Thu
time. 1t does not appear that the District o.
Columbia had any legal counsel in the variou,
arrangements" made with this company, snO
IL Ii quite clear that these arrangements no.
only transcend the powers conferred by Con
gress upon the District government or the
Board of Public Works, but that they are i'm
provident, and should at once be disapproyed
and snnuiled. A bill for this purpose will b.
reported.
