the building, including tiles and other
work which have been added since
the specific .tions were first drawn, will
not exceed $4,000, the original limit, and
il is hoped that the ediice will be gotten
under root this year.
The entire work is under the immedi
diatc supervision Of the architect, Mr. j.
) FAIRFAX, and before concluding this
article, it Will be entirely appropriate to
recall to mind briefly the circumstances
connected with the gentleman appoint
ment us architect and superintendent OF
the construction ofthe building. twill b
remembered that when the drawings OF
the different plans and specifications were
submitted to Council by the competing
architects they were examined and voted
upon on their merit, the Council being
eutiaelv ignorant Of who the author OF
each drawing was. Mr.. Farfa1' plans
were decided by large majority As be.
| INF. the best OF nll, and were therefore
adopted. aNot only was his mort
/ thus acknowledged By Council, but he
hai tie additional ctiat Of having been
one of the favorites OF all the
architects who submitted plans
for the grand Centennial
building, the competition for which r'as
open to the wo,d. OF these the plans Of
the first ten were to be voted upon a.
the best, and while, Of course, only one
was to be chosen, tho remaining nine
were each To receive Il premium OF $1,000.
Mr.. FAIEFAY was one of these, and re-
cciycd his premium. We mention this
only to show to oar readers that the ar
chtect Of this building ranks among the
iirst Of his profession, and that his being
chosen as both architect and s1perintrnd-
en-. is u guarantee OF its excellence.
The people Of West Virginia then in
determining that Wheeling shall be the
| Capital of the State, are sure Of Il build
ing which, in taste convenience and
beauty OF De, gm, will, in every respect
y, credit aad IN ornament, while the
citizen, of " uecllng, who own this build

WALKED OUT,
The BOdy-snatchsr Again at Liberty.

4u6 0Ouy-5udICu6E again 81 LlOerLys
An account was given yesterday to the readers
Of THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN Of the arrest in
Baltimore, by Detectives Sargent and MoEIfresh,
Of the alleged bOdy-snatcher, DR.. @. A Chris
tian. He was brought back TO this city last Sat
urday night and taken TO police headquarters.
There is but one cell and an anteroom attached
to the building, in both Of which a prisoner was
confined, and as Christian gave pledge that he
would not attempt to escape he was permitted to
OCCUPY q seat in Capt. Brooks room, which is
back Of the telegraph instrument room. He eyi.
IDENTIFY did not attach much importance to his
word, for about 1:3O o'clock yesterday morning
while the operators attention was engaged In re-
cefving dispatch from one Of the Instruments
and the officer charged with the custody of pris
oners had stepped back TO see how the two in the
rear were getting along, Christian, seeing q fs-
vorable chance for liberty, got up and walked out,
and has not been seen since. About three years
ago he was convicted Of removing q dead body
from the District, and sentenced to one year In
JAIL but was pardoned before the expiration Of the
sentence. Over year since Christian was ar.
rested on the discovery Of a box at Adams Ex-
press ONCE containing the body of young colored
woman, and for this otfense he was committed to
jail. subsequently he gave bail flames Denny
colored, being the security and was released, On
an Indictment having been found BY the grand
jury, christian left his residence, corner OF Third
and East Capitol streets, Capitol Hill, and when
his case was called his bail declared to be for
1eited. ShOuld he be rearrested, It is probable
that some interesting questions will come up, for
at this time, although the records of the Criminal
Court show that an Indictment was found vet the
niles of the court and search for Il made recently

Prior TO the general SESSION a prayer-meeting
was held, led by the Rev. j. Robertson, from
hali-past eight till balEpast nine O'Clock. The

SUIT AGAINST THE DISTRICT.
Col. J. A. Magruder a Plaintiff.

Col. James A. Magruder, late treasurer OF the
Board Of Public Works, yesterday Instituted a
suit against the District Of Columbia for the sum
Of s6l, 600 claimed to be due him as salary, and
for other matters arising out OF his payments and
accounts as such officer. 1t was stated some time
ago that at one time the Board Of Audit or some
gifts accountants had found large amount due
General Magruder, bat 1t is said that recently at
tempts have been made 10 change the result. 1t
is claimed by Col. Magruder that the Board Of
Audit had no right to settle his accounts, and
that this can only be properly and fairly done in
the courts. He claims that the Board OF Audit,
as originally constituted, was authorized to eX-
anime and audit his accounts and to report
through the President to Congress at the session,
commencing the first Monday in December, 1874.
This, he says, was not done, and by joint resoiu-
ton Of December q, 1874, the board was con-
tinued, and required TO report to Congress not
later than February Is, 1875. The report made at
that date, he claims, exhausted their powers In
this respect, and that, while continued TO audit
certain classes of cases by act of March g. 1875,
they were not continued as respects the accounts
of the late treasurer of the Board of Public
Works. He therefore claims that all acts Of the
Board of Audit in relation to these accounts since
February Is, 1875 utterly void; and he further
insists that Congress cannot properly create,
without consent Of q party interested, special
tribunal, and authorize it to adjust accounts par
ticulaIly without notice or opportunity being
afforded to offer proof or present facts to the trt
bunAl.

Yesterday evening the Potomac was the scene
of another spirited race between crews picked
from the Anslostan club. The principal feature
of the days sport was q challenge race announced
to take place between the regular four Of the
club-Stowers. bow; White, three; Cumberland,
two, and Brown, strickland a picked six, COM
posed of Taylor stroke; Robertson, five; Maunder,
four; Bib, three; Gurley, two, and Elliot, bow,
with Burdette as cOxswain. Each of the winning
in the above race was to receive gold spoon
oar badge.
Another race between slngIe-working boats was
announced to take place after the above, for q
prize consisting Of set Of colors but owing to the
lateness Of the hour it was decided to wait until
another week.
4 little after six O'Clock the barge, manned by
Messrs Lines, bow, Brooke two. Mckinney three,
Winship four, Watson hve, Hebrew six, Parro
seven, and Roach stroke, with Theodore Mosher
as cOxswaIn. put out into the stream, with the
umpire, J. W. CorsOp, in the bows. The contest
iug crews-the tours with white colors, and the
skies with blue-soon followed. There was much
speculation as to the result OF the race, many put
ting faith in the four-crew, which is considered
the crack crew of the Potomac, and others back

swain, the rOughness Of the water was In their
favor. The course the same as in the last
weekly regatta from opposite G street down the
river a mile and a quarter and return. The SIX
held the Virginia side OF the channel.
The word was given at 62l, and the two boats
Jumped away down the river, the four gaining
slight lead. Both crews bent to their work and
put in about thirty-six strokes minute. The
four led all the way down, and turned the buoy at
62S. Coming up, both crews rowed maniuiiy.
The six kept out in the channel and steadily
gained on their Contestants The four Rugged the
Washington side. The latter were about a boats
length ahead when near the hag-bOat, but ceased
rowing before crossing the line, which gave the
six. on the other side Of the chanpel, chance TO
shoot ahead, and both boats crossed the line at
the same time at 6.36, rowing over the entire
course in Just fifteen minutes The race was de-
cided drawn, and probably there will be another
opportunity on next Tuesday TO witness q race
between the same crews which yesterday proved
themselves to be SO evenly matched.
