THE WHITE HoUsE.-The White
House is still the greatest residence Ill
America. 1t has cost more money than
the Stewart mansion, on Fifth avenue
New York, or, with its rebuilding, re-
furnishing etc, about 100000. The
original cost in 1892 was about $685.
900; it was begun in that year, occupied
in 1900, rebuilt III 1918, reoccupied in
1918, and its porticos completed as late
as 1929 The east room was finished
only fifty years ago. Every one OF our
Presidents, except Washington, has liv-
ed in this great house, and he has poked
his horses head Tito lis portal to look
up at the workmen plastering on the
scatfolds. An Irish architect named
Hrbcr, direct from Dublin, via Charles
ton, took the award of $500 for the de
sign, and he built and rebuilt: it, and
lies buried in the Catholic Cemetery
here, and his defendants are respectable
lawyers and citizens of the place.
A building for private residence OF
10 feet front by IS feet deep, with one
room in it 80 by 40, may yet attract re-
publican attention; its vestibule within
the front door is alone 80 by 40 feet.
Twenty acres of garden and park i'm,
mediaiely inclose it, and on either side,
each separated by only $50 feet, are
buildings which cost seven to twelve
millions piece Yet, in all its apparent
antiquity, how new! The lawn is still a
naked plain, reaching off to the POto-
mac, like desert coming 10 the palace
stairs. Like Versailles in the time of
Louis XIV, Washington is Govern
ment creation, and this White House is
hoary only by events. The Presidents
office, which is in the second story, is
also the Cabinet room, and is not
very large apartment for the White
House, although about thirty-five or
forty feet in depth by perhaps thirty
feet wide, and with high ceiling.
A long table is in the middle of the
floor, with leather-seated chairs around
it; the two windows have long !ambre-
quin curtains of dark blush gray
color. A large map of the United States
is on the wall. The carpet is of red
tint with large figures. The general eff
feet of the room as one enters, is that
of library without books.-From the
Brooklyn Eagles Hashington Letter.

ilANs.-Last week two members OF
Gougress-Beverley Is. Douglas ana
Gen. 4. 5. Wlliams-died at Washing
ton. They were both Democrats, one
from Virginia and the other from
MICHIGAN. Gen. Williams was native
OF Connecticut, but resident OF Detroit
for A years. lie was Colonel OF a
Michigan regiment in the MeXc ~ war
and was Brigadier General of volun-
,eers in the late war, through which ne
served from Its commencement. lie
led the Twelfth Corps at the battles OF
South Mountain and Antietam. In the
latter his command was stationed on
the Sharpsburg and Hagerstown turn-
pike AMI made the flank attack on
S,onewall Jackson near the 1unker
Church, where the fighting was SO
fierce and the carnage 50 terrific. Here
he drove back Jackson with the loss, 1t
is said, of halt his command. Later IN
The day Gen. Williams, in temporary
command of the Twelfth Corps, after
the death OF Gen. Mansfield, had to
support a terrible charge from what
remained Of Jackson's and Hood DIVE
sions, and after hard fight was forced
10 withdraw from the position previous
ly won. This epoch in the life OF Gen.
Williams serves TO connect him with
this locality. He was man OF high
character and attainments, and 1t is said
he did not have an enemy in the world.

the Court of Appeals on Monday, the
10th inst, by s. Teackle Willis for Mrs.
Robertson, and by John p. Poe and
Edgar ii. Cans for DIR. Berry, and is

a transfer to Thomas G. Robertson, of
Hagerstown, Md, simply by way of
authority to publish the same almanac.
The wife OF Robertson, being one OF
the assignees under said authority, claims
the right in aud to the same as survivor
of her husband. The bill in this case
prays for an injunction restraining and
prohibiting the wife OF the said Robert
son, her agents, &c, from publishing
and circulating the said almanac as
patented aud carried OH under the name

AN OFFER OF THE PREslDENCY OF ~
TEXAS PACIFIC kAILRUAD AT $1O,VVo
A YEAR.
Ex-Gov. Brown, vlce-president OF the
Texas Pacific railroad, who has been I'D
Washington for the last week or So is
the authority for the statement that an
offer Of the presidency of this road was
sent to Gen. Grant last Saturday, and IL
now awaiting b disposal. The mana
gers of the road propose to have the
salary Of the office fixed at S5O,UOO per
annum, in order to make it's acceptance
an object to Gen. Grant. Before 1t was
decided to ask Grant to accept the pres
idency of the corporation, several friends
of the road had announced that the Tex
as Pacific would ask for no subsidies
from Congress. This statement was
made when it was belived that any FUR
ther effort to obtain subsidy would be
useless Since 1t has occurred to the
company that the services OF Grant may
be obtained, the idea of making anOthe r
attempt for a subsidy has been broached
and 1t IL hoped that the coed republi-
cans in Congress may be persuaded by
Grant to vote for a subsidy. A majority
of the southern BourbOns are certain to
vote for the scheme. Many Washing
ton lobbyists who have worked for the
Texas Pacific job are loaded with the
stock and anxious to dispose Of it. They
are enthusiastically In favor OF making
Grant president of the road.
