confidence is expressed that fund ample for
the purpose will have been collected long be-

was positively known that Admiral Dewey
wished TO assume the care Of domestic estab-

1t is said. in the first place, that he might
possibly prefer TO live elsewhere; but we do
not think that is a serious objection. for he has
already shown that he likes Washington, and
II is to be supposed that the Government will be
glad to keep him there in the performance OF
congena duties There is, however another
consideration which It may not be quite safe
to ignore. Admiral Dewey has no family to re-
j qulre his protection. enjoy his society and con
vert house into home. He has son in
business In New-York, who with admirable
modesty and self-respect has refused to seek
any personal advantage or distinction from his
fathers fame, but In Washington he will bt

The keeping Of this question open would mol

wonderful and the duel scene was admirable. Inc
