Yet Mcclellan was paralyzed for six
precious days by Keyes being brought

The general criticism of the big fine

has not openly approved the fine, but
indirectly he has allowed it to be known
that he is highly pleased at it. Some
of the most level-headed men of both
parties have deprecated it. notwith-

Standard received no more punishment

that the courts may not sustain the ver-

but it was not until April 16 that Gen.
Mcclellan finally decided to make a re-
connoissance across the creek to de-

chose one of the dams which had been
thrown across the creek about 100 yards

what it was, the weakest part of the
Confederate line. Instead however of

accomplishing this object, it notified
Magruder that at some point between
Yorktown and Lees Mills, a distance of
only five miles, there was to be an at

his force to meet it. AT last, towards 4

Capital vanished years ago. Hundreds
upon hundreds of millions of money
have been invested by the Government
in its plant at Washington. Future
officials and employees will have to swell
ter thru the same hot Summer weather
as at present. With the exception of
oppressive weather. it is probably well
that the seat of Government is where
it is. The center of population is not
a long distance from Washington. The
last census showed that it is somewhere
in Indiana, and it will probably be
many years before it moves as far west
ward as the Mississippi River 1t is only
about Is hours journey from Wash
ington to Indiana. But the CONNER
cial center of the country is still at New
York, and will be probably for ages.
The center of art and culture is in Bos-
ton. The tide of travel eastward is much
larger than it will be westward for 200
years. perhaps for 500 years The Ma
tional Capital is very accessible to the
many thousands of Europeans who
come to America as well as to Canada,
most of whose population is in the
eastern provinces. Those are important
considerations which tend to show that
the Capital is pretty well located after
all.
Some time there may be Summer
Capital of the United States. 1t may
come in the course of a few genera
tions. altho it will hardly be feasible
ever to transport the entire army of
clerks and officials from Washington to-
a cooler place for three or four Summer
months. People sometimes say that
the Summer Capital is at Oyster Bay,
or wherever the President happens to
be, but that is true only in a limited
sense
If custom should arise by which all
the high officials who leave Washington
for the Summer would go to some one
watering place or resort, including the
President and members of his Cabinet
it would be to the great convenience of
a large number of citizens who have
Government business of Importance to
transact That custom is followed in n
way. by some Governments. There is
vast amount of delay and annoyance
nowadays, because of official absentee
ism in the Summer. Sometimes purely
routine matters are delayed because the
men with authority cannot be reached
till they return from their vacations
Everyone who has business with the
Government is gratified when Septem-
ber rolls around, because then with
every day it becomes easier to get ones
work done. The sun-burned clerks be-
gin to troop back to their offices, the
accumulated tasks receive attention and
things assume a more businesslike air.

McCIelIan's Disappointment.

While Mcclellan was adjusting him
self to his new locale he received TWO
severe disappointments. The first OF
these was the detachment of McDoWellS $
Corps. upon which he had relied to at
tack Gloucester and assist in the siege
of Yorktown, the other being the en-
grossment of the Navy with the Merri-
mac, which prevented it from giving
him the assistance he expected 1t IS
difficult to comprehend the Importance
that Mcclellan gives to the part he had
assigned to Mcdowell. Certainly moth
ing like 10000 men were necessary to
operate against Gloucester and that side
of the York River brigade, or at
least a division, would have been all
sufficient, since Magruder had not TO
exceed II, 900 in the works at York
town, and Joe Johnston had none to
spare from the army with which to bar
McClellan's 100000 in its advance upon
Richmond. The lack of naval cooper
alton was a serious matter. and on this
subject comes a strong divergence of
statement between Gen. Mcclellan and
the naval authorities. While Gen. Nc
Clellan says that the navy failed utterly
to give him adequate cooperation and
to reduce the water batteries, Assist
ant Secretary Fox testified that no one
had ever thought the vessels could re-
duce the batteries, since they were on
too high ground for the naval guns to
reach and that Mcclellan never made
any such request to responsible
officer. Admiral GoIdsborough, who was
in command, gives explicit testimony as
to this:
'With regard to that campaign, no
naval authority whatever, to my knowl-
edge, was ever consulted till after a con-
siderable part of the army got down
there. Ihe whole matter was arranged
here in Washington by officers in the
army, as | understood. 1 believe they

and il will reach high point by Sept.

the normal activity will be resumed.
y large portion of the Government
workers have been gradually educated
to appreciate :he pleasures of absence
from Washington in September. but the
Department chiefs frown upon that.
Generally the vacation period must be
confined to July and August, the hottest
months of the year IN September the
nights are cool, altho the days are hot
and those who have stood the heat of
the two hot months, By departing in
September, can return to an ideal eli
mate.
For very many years the Objectionable
climate of Washington Was used as a
strong argument for moving the Capital
TO some other spot where the sun did
not concentrate its heat so strongly. 1t
is hardly 10 years ago that the last of
these spasmodic efforts in Congress to
change the site of the federal Capital
were earnestly urged. If the Govern
nient were to begin all over again row,
however, with its present population
and widely diversified area, Washington,
in the District of Columbia, would have
about as much chance OF becoming the
Capital of the Nation as a flea would
have of crawling all the way from the
District of Columbia to California
One can imagine what terrific fight
there would be for the honor of having
the Capital. The aggressive delegations
from Chicago can be seen in the minds
eye booming the central location and
the delightful weather of that Western
metropolis. New York would not care
enough about it to put in serious bid
for the location, but some of the en-
terprising cities on the Atlantic Coast,
that are not so puffed up with their
commercial importance as to care nOth-
ing about being the political and Gov
ernmental center, would be after the
plum with q vengeance.
st. Louis was one of the last cities
that made anything like a fight to have
the National Capital located there on
the banks of the Mississippi. Some
Reuben Congressman from Missouri,
whose name is now lost to fame, intro
duced bill to move the Capital there.
If the Capital were to be located
anew 1t would probably go to the upper
Mississippi Valley, near some large body
of water. The great and dominant in
terests of the Mississippi Valley would
have the influence and the votes to put
it there. Wisconsin or Minnesota would
likely cede a Federal strip for the pur-
pose.

this himself, and lays the blame upon
