CITY IMPROVEMENTS
Erection of Fine New Buildings

Elecuon OF FINE new Buildings.
While THE REPUBLICAN has been noticing
some Of the more important private and public
improvements about the city, 1t is but fair to
mention less conspicuous ones, especially in q
time like this when to put out money for any pur-
pose requires q moral courage aud a financial
independence which is always praiseworthy.
Among these enterprises is one to be seen on
street, s2S and $780, Ths,property has long been in
litigation, but is now in the possession of the
Charter Oak Life Insurance Company. The
fronts Of the two houses are being torn out the
hOsTs lowered TO a level with the street. the two
entrances converted into one, the front rooms
Widened into commOdious stores, and the whole
structure thoroughly TeluVenAted. In the rear
OF these two houses, and extending back some
two hundred feet or more to the alley in the rear
Of the Medical Museum, was begun, several
years ago, large building, which, in connection
with these fronting on street, was to be con-
verted into hotel. This plan, with many i'm
POrtant additions and notifications, the Charter
Oak company propose to carry on to completion.
The front will cont ain Ott1oe rooms and parlOrs
The back building will have, in the basement,
Kitchen, laundry, cellars, store rooms, &C.; on
the hrst floor very large dining-rOom and all
the appurtenances for hrst-class Accommodations:
on the next floor a large and elegant hall for
private and public amusements; and above hat
two or three stories divided into private parlors
lodging rooms, closets and everything pertaining
TO EelEappointed hotel This class OF improve
ments is much needed, especially in this part OF
the city, and will, no doubt amply compensate
the owners Tor their venture.

FORTY-THIRD CONGRESS.

not open up again the NcGarraAan claim, which
had been settled BY the HOUSE after lengthy
discussion.
Mr.. BUTLER said It revived no claim other
than that OF the UAIted States. The resolution
was an admonition 10 the Secretary of the Int
rier rot togfve up the public domain until the
title was tried in'eourt.
= Mr.. HoUGHTON said the resolution oaght
not pass. 1t vas in support Of claim thss had
no foundation. .- .... #..
mr.. GARFIELD called attention to the action
Of the House on q former occasion On connection
with the action Of the Secretary Of the Interior
Hon. ID. Cox, and denounced the claim Of
MeGsrrahan as one Of the most fraudulent rnat
0ver came before the House.
Mr.. BUTLER contended that there was no aid
extended to McGsrrahan, but the resol1tibn was
solely TO protect the interest Of the United StateS
Mr.. HAWLEY, Of Conn, said the resolution
was originally offered joint resolution and II
Il 10 be passed at all II should be Joint reso-
lutien. He did not think It competent for one
House ain Congress assembled" to instruct the
head Of q department. He thought there was a
suspicious appearance about the bill.
Mr.. MCCRARY, OF Iowa, said he had intro
dueed the resolution as q House resolution, and
not q joint resolution. The error was 10 the
printing. He thought, as the NeGarrahan and
New Idria claims had been before Congress so
many years, It was time they went out, and the
matter referred TO the courts for adjustment.
Mr.. WILSON, Of Ind, said the fact that there
was no officer Of the United States doing any
thing TO defend the rights Of the United States
made 1t proper that the House should remind
them OF their duty. He cOatended there was
nothing unusual in the resolution and cited is-
stances where the House had instructed the Sec
Rotary Of the Interior and the Attorney General.
Mr.. RANDALL said he had voted against the
New Idria and then against McGarrahan. Be-
fore Mr.. Williams became Attorney General he
had appeared against the Government, and there
was an indelicay in asking the same person to
now appear on the other side, and the employ
ment Of special counsel to prosecute the claims
OF the United States was very proper.
Mr.. BUTLER demanded the previous question,
which was seconded and the resolution was agreed
to-l3e to IL.
Mr.. LOWNDES, of Nd, presented the petition
oTThomas Venners and Sc venty other citizens OF
Cumberland, in favor Of the repeal OF the ten per
cent. reduction Of the tariff under the act Of 1872
and against putting on Of the duty on tea and
coffee. Ways and Means.
The SPEAKER laid before the House q num-
Der Of Executive Communications, which were
referred 10 appropriate committees, and the
House, at $50 p. n, adjourned.

Fine Arts.

We had great pleasure yesterday inspecting a
collection Of paintings now on exhibition at No.
lll3 Pennsylvania avenue, and judging by the
crowd who filled the place, numbers were Of our
opinion that this is really q valuable 10: Of
paintings. We have not much space at our dis
possl, and, therefore, must condense our re-
marks. Notably there are three or four Of O.
W. KDapp's, in his usual happy style-"Au-
tumn Scenes, all cleyerly painted, nice in color,
good in drawing, and with excellent atmospheric
effects. There are also two fine paintings by o.
cleveriy handled. THE Hunters Camp" is also
very pleasing in color and effect. G. F. Bassett
has also two or three cleyerIy painted works, and
so has W. Watworth. There are a number of
marines. One very spirited picture by r. Fem
wick, and two very nice smaller pictures by NJ.
Adrian. There are q great number OF h8ure
pieces, most OF them copies Of noted pictures, by
celebrated artists, and many OF them are exceed
inEly clever, and will be much priced. There are
some hne fruit and game pieces, giving people a
chance Of buying pictures to suit either their
library or drawing.room and dining room. The
sale commences this evening at 7:30.

THIS consideration of justice has great weight
