Tho New Capitol Bu,lding.

A gentleman of this city with
whom the reporter talked yesterday
thinks the state authorities have
adopted bad rules to govern the
construction of the capitol buildings,
principally in that there has not
been sufficient time allowed, nor
proper inducements offered, for the
leading architects of the country TO
compete for the plans. The gentle
man cited, in proof Of his position,
the action of the commissioners
having under controld the erection
of a monument in honor of King
Victor Emmanuel. OF Italy. The
monument is to cost e860,OO0
OF about 81 100000. This is
but $500, 900 less than is to be spent
by Texas for her new capitol build
ings, which are to cost q million and
a halt. In the instance of the Victor
Emmanuel monument, American
artists have been especially invited
TO enter the lists in competition to
the artists of Europe. Three special
premiums are offered-one Of $l0,-
900. one Of $1,000 and one Of $4,000.
In the case OF the Texas capitol, a
supervising architect has been
elected, and he proposes to allow
but about six weeks time for archi-
tecis to prepare their plans. Again,
but 81 ZOO is promised the success
full architect, and this at q risk. for
the right is reserved TO reject
any or ell bids. This, the gen
tlcman says, shuts out all compcti-
ton from northern architects, when
the building TO be erected will stand
probably for centuries, and should
be constructed according TO the
most advanced style OF modern ar
chitccturc. lie thinks future gene
rations will mourn the short-sighted
ness OF those OF to-day who were so
disposed TO please themselves first,
and seemed to be either too stupid
or Indifferent or selfish 10 appreciate
superior skill and art and talent. In
plain words, he thinks the new Texas
capitol buildings will not be built as
they should aud might be.-Soa IN

THE name of John Hancock was
omitted from the list of electors in
the tickets printed for Cameron
county and Coryell county, and this
accounts for his falling behind the
balance of the electoral ticket. The
error, or oversight, was caused prob
ably by instructions to printers that
Gen. Hancock's name must not ap-
pear on the tickets, and some of
them, probably omitted the name of
John Hancock, the electOr, in cOnsc-
quonce OF impressions arising there
from.

a PERSONAL friend of G ca. Me-
hone, of Virginia. who conversed
with the latter few DAYS since, says
he said:
"The recent election and defeat of
Hancock ought TO teach the South
ern people that the Northern men,
the conquerers III the war of the re-
bellion, never intend TO permit this
government TO pass INTO the hands
of the conquered. This is the one
great question, in the Northern mind,
that has ruled i'll all our political
contests since the war, and the soon
er the Southern people realize il the
better for them"

recent dinner party in Brook

Ara recent dinner party in Brook
lyn, Gen. Grant said:
The reported bargain at Mentor
is not true. There was nothing said
to Garfield but that which was said
in the presence of n large number of
people, for there was no time while
there that'we were not surrounded
by crowd, and there was no pri-
Yate interview sought or held. There
was no bargain whatever"
Some months from now, if Gar
field does not do what is expected
of him, q very different story may
be told about the meeting at Men,
tor. Grant has told two tales about
the South, and he is thus proven ca
pable of prevarication.

THERE will be twenty-nine farm

the Express thinks the latter should
so revise the civil and criminal

the necessity of amending the judi
ciary system of the state, and pro-
vide means for the people to pro-
nounce in favor of desired changes

1'HE Tyler Courier says: "The
statement so often made by newspa-
pers that Governor Roberts runs
behind the ticket is made for a pur-
pose When the official vote is
made known il will be seen that he
is not so far behind as some people
would gladly see him, and it may
be that his exceeding popularity in
certain sections may outdo the eff
forts made against him in others.

tentiarIes show that this assertion is
not idle. II is clearly in the unjust
conduct.of the governing class tLat
Ireland has been the theater of land
troubles, and when the Irish people
display dissatisfaction at the con-
duct of these landlords, and when
the English people claim that they
are doing their best for the people
of the island, they certainly show
their utter inability TO govern it
properly, and, in Justice to an age of
civilization and liberality. they
shOnld abandon it. Even the con-
sideration of this Irish land ques-
ton by the English ministry has
been secured in consequence alone of
the acts of the land leaguers. Thus
ii has been, that oppression and in
justice have always brought about a
spirit of retaliation among these
Irish peasants, which, when it has
assumed the shape of organized op-
position, has called forth cOnsidera-
ton from the English ministry, until
it again finds itself in a condition to
enforce the conditions of the land
lords. Then nothing more is heard
from these governors of Ireland un-
til another period of starvation has
driven the dependent peasantry to
desperation. Mr.. Gladstone's plan
for consideration was Indignantly
thrown out Of the House of Lords,
and he has made no appeal to the
country, nor has he resorted to any
other con ;i;utional measure TO
break dow II this lordly opposition.
Had the measure been an English
one he would not have dared to
submit: but to legislate for these
outraged irish people, who belong
body and soul to the English nobili-
ty, is very different thing from
legislating for the descendants of the
noble race of Celts, over whom they
have been placed as masters.

The ninth annual excursion of the
Shields Library ASSOCIATION took place
this morning, and was the largest that
has ever left this city. As eafly as
o'clock those who were going on the
excursion, commenced vending theii
way down Fourth street, and from that
time until o'clock there was constant
stream OF pedestrians all huIIying
toward the wharf. The steamer Re.
public that was to bear the exeursionistS
TO Cape May lald at the wharf gaily
bedecked with flags and bunting, and
when she eft the wharf at 7. 10 presented
pretty sight. The third deck was
crow ded, but before the boat reaches
the Capes 1t will no doubt be pretty
we'll deserted, as the cool air will make
those on the deck seek more comfortable
quarters.
At 6.45 O'Clock, twenty three hundred
persons lad passed over the gang plank,
and it was thought at least two hun
dred more went on board before the
boat left. No better day could have
been selected fol an excursion and there
is no doubt that every one will have
n pleasant time. Returning the boat
will leave Cape May at s O'Clock.

A QUIET TIME.

MEETING OF THE CITY DEMOCRATIC
AssoCIATIoN-BUT LITTLE BUSINESS
TRANSACTED.
1t was $50 o'clock on Saturday even
ing before the City Democratic Associa-
ton was called to order by President
Farrell.
For some time a numl er who had
gathered In the vicinity of Third and
Market, did not know where the meet
ing was to be held, whether in the Dem
ocratlc headquarters or in the office of
Esquire Brady. As the headquarters
were not lighted some thought that there
would be no meeting.
About o'clock Esquire Brady appear
ed aud lighted up his Office, and those
standing oil the pavement started for the
room. After waiting in the room about
ten minutes, a gentleman entered and
announced that the meeting would be
held in the Williams Club room, third
story Of the buildi Y Nos. 220 and 222
Market street. Thiher the crowd re-
aired, and about $50 O'Clock President
Farrell entered and called the meeting
10 order. In the absence of the Secre-
tary, B. Frank Townsend, John O'Don
AiOiA W 90 oppOibbgu DTO tbUts
The char stated tha' the first business
before the meeting was the adoption or
rejection of the conference committees
report with the so called Executive Com
mittee. 1t was moved that the report
be indefinitely postponed. Mr.. Quinn
said that the committee of conference
was discharged at the last meeting OF
the Association, and when they were
discharged their functions ceased. He
therefore thought that there was no ac-
tion to be taken on the report.
Mr.. Mellon said the reason the COM
mit,ee was discharged, was to allow tho
so called Executive Committee to come
back into the Democratic fold.
The motion to indefinitely postpone,
was adopted by an unanimous vote.
Mr.. Kaue moved that the meeting 90
into an election for Vice Presidents Of
each and every ward to elect an Execu-
tive Committee of aid wards.
Martin Doordsn desired to know il
the Association was going to be failure
but as no one answered him, he sat
down.
President Farrell called Vice Presi-
dent Brady to the chair, and taking the
floor opposed the MOTION of Mr.. Kane
He said that it appeared to him the mo-
ton was unwise for the following re-
sons: First. 1t would engender bad
blood, and it is said that house devided
against itself will fall. Second. He felt
if the motion was adopted it would
bring discredit upon the Association, and
defeat upon the party. II the party was
defeated. the enemies Of the Association
would point their fingers and say ''See
what you have done" Upon his suR-
gestion the motion was Withdrawn.
On motion of MIR. Farrell the chair
was authorized to appoint at his conven-
ience, a committee of three on finance
On motion, a committee on naturali-
zation was authorized to be appointed il
the same manner.
On motion of Mr.. Quinn a committee
of five was authorized TO be appointed
for the purpose Of calling public meet
ings at any time within the discretion o.
the chairman the Association.
