The Daily Gate City

At the Capitol.

Preparatory to the meeting of Congress, the Capitol is being renovated and put in its usual order. Since the last session, several changes have been made of no little importance.

The seats and desks have been returned to the House hall, and the benches, of course, removed. This is in accordance with the resolution passed at the last session.

The desk of the Government reporters, in front of the Clerk's-desk, has been remodeled, so that those untiring gentlemen may have more room. The old Senate chamber, where Webster, and Clay, and Benton, and Calhoun, and our first orators have entranced "listening Senates," and held galleries en thralled by their eloquence, is now nearly completed for the use of the Supreme Court at its approaching December term. The change consists in the removal of the ladies' gallery and the dais which was occupied by the Vice President's chair, as well as the desks of the Secretary and his clerks, and the substitution instead of the latter of a long platform, with heavy wood railing for the use of the Chief Justice and his associates. A square enclosure in front of the bench has been raised off for the use of the bar, and outside of that seats will be provided for visitors.--States and Union.
