whose dark red color is beautifully brought out by
thin coating of oil The cornce is formed OF black and
red brick laid in projecting geometrcal designs. The
enormous iron framework of the mansard roof rests
upon the piers below this story, and part OF 1t,
being built into the walls OF the room, Is

it will then measure 81 feet on Printing House Square,
about % on Spruce street, and 169 from Spruce TO
Frankfort About midway of the hight of the
wall, small iron supports are built in upon which

spiral staircase, and shut in from the noise OF
the Composing Room by double sashes, with

the foreman. 1t has two outside windows Also
looking North. Pneumatic tubes connect the Com
posing Room with the Counting Room and the
Night Editors ROOM and speaking tubes and electric
annunciatOrs extend to all the editorial business
and mechanical departments. There are stands for
as that is employed special occasions, although on
ordinary nights 60 good men can easily set any of
the first-class NewYork papers. The furniture of
the Composing Room is and of the best and most
improved description The stands are of ron and
remarkably compact and convenient-the pattern
being an invention of Robert Hoes, which we have
used for the past two years A complete outfit OF
new type, of the various sizes employed in this paper
has been manufactured for us by Mr.. Bruce, and is
used to-day for the first time. The former pattern
(which was originally invented expressly for THE
TRIBUNE has been reproduced, except in the agate
type and the numerals both those have been greatly
improved in beauty and legibility.
THE ATTIC AND TOWER.
The slOpng attic above the Composing Room is about
seven feet high at the center, and is reached both
from the tower and by a spiral staircase in the
of the Composing Room. 1t contains part Of the
machinery of the elevator; large iron water tanks
for the supply of the upper floors; and some of the
ventilating apparatus.
There are rooms still higher in the tower, finished
off like the Composing Room with Baltimore front
brick and commanding superb view of Manhattan
Island. They will be used by THE TRIBUNE for
document rooms, files, &C.

There Is but one sentiment mere regarding the
high-handed proceedings In Louisiana, and that II
that the conduct OF the United States military
officers at New Orleans on Monday last was the

has been enacted IN that politically pest ridden
state, and an additional evidence OF strategical
meanness to which republican leaders will resort
for the purpose OF carrying q point against the
Will or the people and all sense OF justice. Promi.
nent democrats OF this State, however. view the
proceedings in louisiana as fortunate in one re-
spect, and as calculated to convey to the people
or the North clearer ana better defined idea oi

FEELING IN ARKANSAS.

LITTLE ROCK, Jan. 9, 1875.
The excitement over the situation In Louisiana
continues undated here, and, for the time being.
takes precedence over our own affairs In the
minds Of citizens. Like the Arkansas case, it is
strict party issue. Democrats universally de.
nounce the action of Sheridan as suDverslve OF the
rights Of the people and destructive Of republican
institutions, while republicans unanimously assert
that the exigencles OF the Louisiana case de.
manoed decisive action on the part OF the United
States authorities, and that Sheridan did Fight
and will be sustained by the general government
and the people.
