Concord, n H., Dec. 7.-Senator Gal
linger, who has been very desirous of Sc
curing the selection of Concord granite as
the building stone for the new Union sta
tion in Washington, D and who has
exerted himself to the utmost to secure ac-
tion favorable to our stone, going even to
the length Of personally visiting Philadel-
phia to urge the claims Of Concord granite
upon the president Of the Pennsylvania
railroad, sends to the Monitor letter re-
ceived from President Cassett which lndi-
Gates a definite decision in favor of the
Bethel stone Alr. Gassett's letter to Sen
atOr Gallinger is as follows
My dear Senator: We have given due
consideration to everything you have said
in favor of the use Of Concord granite for
the station building at Washington, but
regret to say that we feel constrained TO
adhere to our purpose to use the Bethel
granite for the reason that the architects
are clear in their opinion that for this par
ticuiar character Of building Il Is superior
on account Of its brilliant whiteness, 10

careful study Of the question and after
consulting two other leading architects, we

quarrymen from whose report we are sat

against it have any foundation.
Regretting not to be able to meet your
views in this matter, and assuring you OF
our entire disposition to do so had it been
practical, | am,
