Tlie government owns nil the streets, ave nues, ulleys, parks and public grounds in Washington, and is pro prietor of about one-half the acrenge of the city. In lieu of taxes it an nually provides one-half the money required to support the district gov ernment. The money expended for works of art seems enormous, but 8125,000 of it is invested in the Corcoran art gal lery in a peculiar way. When tlie the war broke out Corcoran sympa thized witli tlie south and went to Europe. The art gallery which bears his name hud been erected, but not occupied. The government seized it and used it daring the war. When Corcoran came home ill 1865, he brought suit for rent, and 8125,- 000 was paid him, with the stipula tion that it should be a part of the endowment of the gallery. The other investments for art- have been very extravagant. There are many goad pieces and many- poor ones in the jnstetsion of th* govern- ■Mat, bat ni almost every case ex travagant prices have been paid and the purchase made for ether reaeon* than the artistic cxcetlettec of Rir ar ticle. Fur instance, the hhlenWaade statue of Washington, which opposite the east front of the cost *42,170 74. The eqUMtrlafi statu- of Scott, at ths I ate Amt ton of Ithode Island and Massaabamts avenues, which is perhaps the best of its kind in the city, cost tha enor mous sum of 877,000. The eqnes* trian statue of Washington, whieta stands at the Intersection of Penn sylvania aveuue, K, and Twenty second street*, cost *58,270; and Clark Mill'* statae of Joekaon, which occupiee LaFayette sqaare, ppoeite the rxecu'ive mansion, coat 828,442. The marble figure of l/n- ooln, which itands on a Marble ahull, in front of the oity hall, cost (15,000, and th* wretched statu* of Uaariins, which stands down on the river.Sank surrounded by negro cabine, coat *13,000. H The ridiculous groups of Colum bus and the frontiersman’! family on the east portico of the capitol cost— the former *55,000 and the latter *32,000. The historical painting* by Joniitlian Trumbull :n the H|>i- tol rotundii cost *32,000 and Mealy's collection of presidrntinl ’ portraits cost 88,000, which was us good investment ns any iii-hIs. Another good investment ns any made. An other good investment was the 860,. OO0 spent in frescoing 'he capital corridors and committee roams. Brady’s collection nf photographs of distinguished men cost *25,000. It appears that Mujar 1/Knfaiit, the Frenclimnn, who planned tli city of Washington in 1792, r-ceivcil only 81,304 for his service*, while Wulter, the architect wh i designed tlie capital building, got *20,000. It costs 848,338, to remove the teat of government to Washington in 1880. _j; REN I] LATINS ADTERTININU- The ‘-loci I law” hill, as it paiscil the house of representatives, stipu lates the price publishers are to charge for printing th* thirty days notice. It allows only one-third tlie price of regular commercial advertis ing, viz.: one dollar per square. This we consider anjust, out-tliroat busi ness; and we must express our aston ishment at the position tnkon by one of the champions of the movement, Mr. Alston, a former newspaper man, who lost all hit own money, and nil lie could borrow, in an effort to run the Atlanta Htraltl at 84 per square. The other hemes of wisdom are hot so ranch to blame. They voted for the hill, (as they usually vote,)without the necceisary informa tion to guide them, and with a reck less disposition to act without fore thought. If there is one class of basiness men who are poorly paid for their services rendered it is publish ers of newspapers. No business in in this country yields so little profit to the required service and money invested; mid iio other branch of in dustry does more to Imil t up the in terest of tlie State. But fools have never discovered this fact, and per haps never will. We suppose, as a matter of course, a i^jerity of the newspapers in Georgia will respond to this demand of the legislatire by giving the re quired insertion atacost of two dol lars te themselvse. Others then may he compelled to follow; tint we call upon eur hretheren throughout the State to scorn the offer, and to de mand rrunineration for this service. Occupying tlie position which the Georg u press does, laboring incess- snntly for the welfare of our section without reward, we have a right to regulate our own business, mid ive should do it. An act of Congress some) months ago fixed a rate to be charged by the press for the insertion of revenue notices So small wut the amount allowed lhat only the most unrelia ble and meagerly circulated papers throughout the United Statesyielded to the demand. Commissioner Raum soon discovered that the compensa tion afforded was too small, and tit once addressed a message asking for a larger fnnd, and stating that the aaionat offered would not secure in Mrtion in respectable newspapers. If the respectable press of the Un ion stood thus independiant of na tional pap, will not tb« arras af Geor gia teach ear owa legislators - • -• ” jWfcwra • Nine Women uf Burlington t>n«- tfsd themselves tngi-tlier Into month, by a solemn Voir, in-ver in s|x uk of atlwr women nt *R if they fimtld not apeak wall of tHeat, And th.ir ton- gnra hav* groan tommy I’—n; diatmw thM they have lo tiilirfftatr them with machine •'I b f ury Can •Wallow.
