A GREAT AcHIEvKMRNT.-The city of
Blltimore dedicated on Tuesday the new
City Hall which it has been building
since 1867. The main feature to which
we desire to refer as a great achieve-
ment, is the fact that in these times
Of dishonesty, tlis splendid structure
has been completed without the loss OF
dollar by peculating committees. The
appropriation to complete it was $780,
600; and its cost was s2.27l ,l35 Ga. In
his address Mayor Vansant said
1.-The aggregate expense incurred in
furnishing the hall was Sl04, 4,264.77, which
includes chandeliers, drapery and furni-
ture of every kind. This department OF
expense added to the cost OF the build
ing, will make the aggregate cost OF con-
structing and furnishing the same w.
375, ,400.4l.
The S2,500000 appropriated for erect
ing the city hall did not embrace the
matter of furnishing it. 1t was not un;
til the building was nearly completed
that this department was placed Ill the
charge Of the building committee. The
Mayor and City Council made a special
appropriation of 100000 for that pur-
pose, and authorized the committee fur.
ther to apply thereto such balance oi
the s.. 500, 900, if balance there should
be, as might be in their possession after
they had paid for constructing the build
ing.
The structure covers an area of 81, ,46.
square feet. 1t fronts on Holiday anc
North streets 23S feet, and on Fayett'
and Lexington streets l49 feet. The
h.,inht &c fha An-,,a from fhn hl6 nj
Holiday street is 227 feet, and from thu
top of the roof 49, feet. The height o
the building to the top of the cornice a
the main entrance on Holiday street i
90 feet. 1t contains l02 rooms and &C
commodities all the departments of tn
city government.
In beauty of design, in its architectu
raj proportions, in the execution OF tn
work of the building, interior and exte
rior, in its great strength, in the mate
rials used in its construction, and in IT
perfect ventilatiDg adaptation it is ques
tionable If Its equal can be found in tn
United States, save in the capitol build
ing at Washington. In the constructio
neither labor nor necessary expense ha
been spared to render it perfect in beat
ty and durability, yet at the same tim
considerations of economy have had I'll
proper influence upon the minds and a
tions OF the committee, and it is safe
venture the assertion that there ID n
in the United States building of sim
lar dimensions, durability, beauty of m
terial' and workmanship that has be
erected for similar amount of none
1t stands a monument Of honor to t

GENERAL PRYOR ON THE COURSE OF

At the reunion of Federal and Con-
federate veterans at Elizabeth, New
Jersey, ON Tuesday, among the cx.
Confeierates present were General
Roger A. Pryor, Coloncls Stevenson
and Garnett, and Captain E. 8. Ed.
wards, of Maryland, while letters OF
regret had been received from Lieut.
General Pemberto1; Generals Malone,
Kirkland and others. The New loik
Sun furnishes the following sketcl, OF
General Pryor's remarks
"We fought for cause we thoughi
WAS Just, and until this Is recognized
/ there can never be perfect reconcilia-
tiop. So long as you think our cause
a mere political intrigue, you will be
nhilosophically and historically wrong;
but YOU do no longer think so. Ii
NAV criticise our revered forefathers,
! would say they were to blame for
the late rebellion, for they undertook
to ioin in autonomy two sections OF
country with widely different interests
From them, from Madison, we learned
to believe in our right to recede, In
State sovereignty or home rule, as you
call it, and when the question OF the
abolition of slavery came up we could
not view 1t as you did. You contend.
ed that you could limit the area oi
slavery; we thought it a domestic in
slitution to be managed by ourselves
Thus began what ended in the war
| When war came we necessarily took
the State rights view; we naturally y
took to our right TO secede. venture
to say there is not a gallant soldier
before me, who. in, my case, would
not hSve been a rebel. The speaker
who preceded me had nothing to
apoligize for; if he, should have
contempt for him. have nothing to
apologize for, and under the same cir
cumstances, before God, | should do il
all over again.
Stiffness prevailed as this sentence
rang out, but when the speaker sait
that though his heart bled over the
devastated fields of his native State
and though million souls were sacrl
feed by the war, he thought the aboll
ton of slavery was enough to compen
safe forlt all, the loudest, most vocifer
Gus applause of the day was given IL
conclusion Gen. Pryor said he believed
every Southerner was again attached
to the country and the constitution
and should another war come-'whicl
NAV Cod avert-the North would fee
the touch Of the Southern elbow, an
the South would march to the musi
of the Union"
Captain Edwards defended the fierce
. on either side in the late war from tn
} inference Won Moltke left to be draw
= when he said Nothing of value is t
be learned from the American war.

1t has been the boast OF the Repub.
licans that Governor Tilden would
never succeed in recovering any por-
tion of the money stolen from the
people by the old ring of this city or
the canal ring. The Canal Commission
has already secured restitution from
one Of the participants in the great
Hand canal claim. The fruits OF the
reform measures urged through the
Legislature last winter are now being
seen in this city in the success of the
suits against, and the restoration oil
over half a million by TIE executors
of the Watson estate. This is only
the beginning. Other sums will soor
be forthcoming from other members
of the old ring. If the people now
sustain Governor Tilden the work o'
reform, not only in this city, but il
the State, will be carried forward will
energy, and the future results viii
show the wisdom of his career. To
