Among the improvements going on around the Capitol at Washington is the hying of the celebrated Nicholson pavement. We should like to see some improvements of that kind in this city.

Those receiving certificates of registry cannot be too careful in preserving them, as they will not be allowed to vote at the city election in Decern, ber, unless these certificates are presented at the jiolls. A Teat Run. We see by a late paper from Washing, ton City that the Fire Commissioners had a test run the other night. We think the man at the lower market in this city was trying a little of this game on his own hook in ringing so long after the fire was out on Monday evening last. Luminous. The almanac makers say that there will be two full moons during the present month— one on the Ist, the other on the 31st.

Uncle Jesse Oslik, the venerable and popular Messenger to the House of Repre sentatives, was presented with a watch by that body, oh Monday last, in a neat speech by Hon. W. J. Hudson, of Harris.

Have You Seen it 7 Our exchanges tell us that Eueke’s Comet is tiow visible through a glass.

If this uj the case, we may soon look for it in the evening, as astronomers have said that in the latter part of October it might bo seen with the naked eye from 9 itt the evening to 3 in the morning. Bureau Changes. We Team that Captain W. S; Whalen, of the Freedman's Bureau, has baen trans ferred to Daltou, in this State, nnd Captain R. J. O'Roak, of General Meade’s staff, detailed to succeed him here. We regret to lose Captain Whalen, who has dis charged his duties both in an unostentatious and satisfactory manner, and cheerfully commend him to our friends in and about Dalton. Democracy. The Democracy of the First Ward, in their club room last night, made rather a novel display in the way of dancing, crying, or frolicking in some way. From all that we could learn, the speaker of the night was blistering those members of the club who had formerly acted with the Republican parly, when “one of the good Old sort, - ’ who had fallen from Radical grace, approached the speaker and reminded him in the words u yon zare 1 you zaie'" that he was treading heavily on his sore -toes, when a scuffle ensued, and the lost scalawag was gently reminded that a little fresh air would benefit his heated and temporarily disordered brain, and perhaps have a tendency to strengthen his back, which appeared to be at this time iu a “iwai’iHj way.'’ The second act was a grand boo-hoo try, at which time our re porter left.

Whether il In: for the good of those whom we represent is a question they must de leiuiine. Os your many responsible duties we were no: mistaken in the boginhiug. True,, tin. session ha* bi.en uuu.nally prolonged, but many perplexing and ceubac rassing questions, upon which you have been called to act, rendered our stay here unavoidable, I know you have been constant, in season and out of season ; that your time and energy have been constantly taxed in the execution of your duties while upon this floor. But it is not lor utrto speak of these things. Representatives, we met here as strangers; personally and politically our feelings were embittered by the extraor dinary I, achiugs of those who should have known better. Time has done mueh to eradicate from our mind the bitter parlizau estrangement wc bore to this hall. We sep arate td-Jay uhuvst as one people in seuti ment, with a common Interest. For myself, I desire to say that I am glad we met to gether here ; for, whatever may have been the estraugeiimnl of feeling I brought iiito this Assembly, God knows I bear none hence; and now that wc .reparate for a time, some of us, perhaps, never to return «—for already the angel of death has entered here and removed from us forever a Moom and a Ballard—may I not ad* monish you to bn kind ih feeling and in word and thought, o>c toward another. Listen not lo the teachings of tho political slanderer, nor to him who would destroy. This is our Government; let us endeavor to correct the evils' which uuty exist, ap peal to the intelligent;.' and wisdom of tbo nation, -and pot to the pa si on aof a m<>L. Ixst your motto bn ‘'wisdom, justice and moderation,”'and all will La well. Wishing you a sife retain to, and a happy reunion with, your families and friends, and that the evening of your days may be as gentle as the setting sue, 1 bid you an affectionate farewell. I now declare this House odjuuruyd without a day. Go<)d luck to you. News from Washington.
