CHICAGO, July 15.-The Tribune,

1t Is tolerably apparent that the Repub-
icans can by no means save the House Of
Representatives. They have already lost
ten members of Congress from their pres
ent minority. The question arises can
hard money and national honor be rescued /?
Is 1t polite to invite hard money Demo
erats to cooperate with Republicans in
republican districts, and also to cooperate
with hard money Democrats in Democratic
e'sbt'ets' as has been suggested by some Of
eur compromising friends? The example
Is presented of losing Mr.. Hewett from the
10th district OfN. Y. He is an uneom-
promising hard money Democrat. and if
reelected it will probably need Republican
votes to do it. He represents a district
from which il isimpossible to elect Re-
publican. His soundness of financial
views would make his absence from the
House a misfortune. as it relates to that
subject. His management of the Congress
sional Labor Committee coupled with the
fact that he's not boor or unmitigated
bourbon, renders him obnoxious to the So
eials'le element of his party II national
henor oyerrides other considerations, why.
then, IL may do to entertain the thought OF
compromise, as suggested. If the election
OF such men, as, in whose hands and keep
ing the national honor win be safe. and
their views on other issues may not be
brought out to Prominently--in other
words, if the gain wlIl be greater than the
loss by such a course, ourleaders may pos
sibly be able to hold the initiation craze lev
el, in the next Congress. This.however is
a mere suggestion. and viii not probably
find sufficient favor among our Republican
friends to secure any attention.

ALBAW LETTER.

Eds. TeIe0raph:-I have visited this city
to-day especially for sightseeing, and to
take good look st the Capital building
now in the course of construction there.
To say that the structure is magniheiently
grand both in style Of architecture and pro-
portions. but feebly expresses anything
concerning it. When completed, which will
take several years yet to do, it will without
doubt be the finest State House on this
continent. shall not attempt detailing g
description. To go over it, through it,
and under it, required some two hours
time of hard and tedious elambering. The
main walls are some 10 feet in thickness at
the base, and at the height Of 200 feet are
feet and inches, thus giving ample
strength and security to the immense
weight, which is being daily added to it.
As we passed in we we're invited to regis
ter our names and places Of residence, for
what purpose did not learn, but turning
q fcw leaves back, found the daily aver
age OF visitors, to be about $50. Some 800
laborers responded to their names at roll
call, at one O'Clock, and was informed by
an official that the sum required every two
weeks to pay this force, amounted to near
" $s5, ,OOG. 1t stands directly behind the
old capitol building, on the hill which rises
from the river, and principal business pOr-
ton of the city.
Business in Albany is carried on in an ex-
cited and hurried manner. The site is on
the west bank of the Hudson, rising grad
ually up from the river to the height Of q
hundred feet or more. The streets are
narrow and irregular; winding alleys have
been appropriated and are used as streets
to facilitate the rapid increase OF business.
On the river, business is also lively, boats
Of every description are carrying, pushing
or pulling something.
1 dropped into the Geological and Agri-
cultural Departments of the State, and
saw many things Of interest, then also into
the museum, where curiosity after curiosity
greeted me until the eve tired Of looking
at them. Many of the fine stores here are
more interesting to go through than a
country fair.
would like to say something about fine
carriage rigs, horses, trotting, &c., but
space will not permit this time.
leave here tomorrow morning for New
York via Hudson river, and expect to see
sights worth seeing along this beautiful
river. HANK.

The story of the South Carolina cipher
dispatches, as published in the Tribune,
is a repetition of the tactics attempted in
Florida. It was assumed that the State
had cast its vote for HAYES and CHAMBER
LAIE, and, with characteristic unscrupu-
Iousness, SMITH WEED, the chief TIlden
emissary in South Carolina, Immediately
set himself to solving the problem Of
changing the result by bribing those
charged with its declaration As in the
case Of Florida, $50, 900 was the amount
which the Tilden agents in New-York
we're prepared to spend on the job, yet the
increase Of price to $50, 900 seems TO have
found them prepared with the money.
The money was not used. probably be-
cause the TiIden men found it impossible
to convince themselves that the Republi-
cans on the Board Of State Canvassen
were as great rascals as themselves. This
same Smith WEED, had the interests Of
THDEE in charge at the late Syracuse
Convention.
