THE SMITHSONIAN BEouEsT.-There is one bill
now before the House of Representatives., whici
otner business. After a disgraceful delay OF eigh
wears, an act establishing the Smithsonian Institn
ton has passed the Senate, and we presume wi
meet with little opposition in the House, provide,
it can be taken up But herein lies the difficulty
and there is some danger that il may be smotheret
by other matters The bill is about as good on,
as is likely to be framed, and amendments can b.
made hereafter, as its practical operation shall de
laid over to another session, there is danger tina
the same causes which have heretofore retarded il
will cause a further delay of two or three years
We need not dwell upen the importance of the oh
jecs contemplated by the bill, and the necessity
fulfilling the faith of the government, pledged as
has been to carry out these objects.
