The success of the double-sheet Star of nity-slx columns 13 unprecedented. Although on Saturday last the regular edition was the largest printed in th? history of the paper, a second one was lssueS to supply the deminl. Advertisers and newsdealers will confer a favor by sending In their orders as early as possible for the enlarged and extra edition or to-mcrrcw. Tlic ISiisiiiros K?l?rc CongrcM. There is a fair prospect of an early and aTi'.cit'l * settlement of the partisan wrangl o*cr the apportionment bill in the Iiouse. Ar an early hour this morning (ien. Iluwley, who Is always conservative, submitted a proposition that each side appoint live members to me-t and confer together for the purpose of agree.Lg upon some mode of procedure that would avoid any further strife and filibustering. This was unanimously agreed to, ani It will probably be arranged to take a vote first upon the highest number (S-?) proposed as the membership of the House, and then take up and vote upon ea<h number in its downward progression, in order?325, 31?, all ai.a .v .; wnenever a majority adopts either cumber. that shall settle the apportionment. It Is to be hoped this conference plan will terminate the contest, not alone because of the apportionment bill, but for tbe reason that a continuation of tne strife must endanger a number of Important measures pending In the House. The funding bill, the bill for the construction of a national library building, p.nd others of importance, might fall through ii waste of time in partisan strife. Tbe District appropriation bill having been sent to conference Is comparatively saf3, but should any serious differences arise In regard to the amendments its passage would be somewhat endangered by a contest in which each side may be so stubborn as to maintain Its position regardless of all else. It has been remarked on the House side during tbe past few days that the failure of the District appropriation wouldn't do much harm anyway," but fortunately for the District a large majority of the representatives do not concur in thli view. It would do a very great deal of harm to a people that have to depend entirely upon Congress for justice. Present appearances justify the belief that If the legislature of Delaware refuses to grant the desired charter for a second railway llac north and south through that state, a new road will be built running to the west of her boundary on that slle. The effect or this will be to leave the people of Delaware without the beneilts of competition in the carrying of freight and travel, and at the same time the monopoly whose creature the legislature now seems to be will b. left %v it bout any of the advantages It expectcd to gala from such servitude. The Interests of the Pennsylv .nla Railroad In this di net ion are so many a-id so valuable that it will be com pilled to build, a* a day not very far distant. al.necf Its own, lu order to protect and advance them. This it can easily do. By >tar lag from a point about forty miles west of Philadelphia, on lt3 present line to Pifsburg. it can build a road by an alr-llne route from there to Baltimore which will make the dlstjnce between i Philadelphia and BV.t'.'oore little If any greater than by the old ro^d. It would have the advantage. too. ot 9llgat curves, low grades, and few stopping P'-acea, so that through travel would probably gala ruth?-r thart lose In loth mctey and time by using it la preference to the other. When these things are ae "ompliihed. ai they :ire almost certain to b \ if rendered necessary by the action of the Delaware legislature, the people of that state will realize how shortsighted and narrow-minded their law making i 3 I Soloes have been. It may al-o possibly dawn | upon them that they have beea soul oat f .?; a price, aLd a very small price, at thai. There is one idea i&at congress mint soon sbandon ia connection with the great miisof l<oks now piled up promiscuously in tSe CaplioL Thar is that It Is ^ny longer a collection brought and Kept tcgetLer merely for the use acd pleasure of the Congressmen themselves and a fe*.v chosen friends for whom they borrow books from It in one form and another. Although it was originally founded as a Congressional Library, and lias b<-*n so considered In subeequent legislation, it la clear that it has lGng8l*.ee outgrown that character, and m>tsr soon be- acknowledged unl treated as what It really Is, namely, a great National Library, to which the people of all the country shall have free access at all times, under proper regula tlons. jftst as the Kagll.-th people now have to the Liltish Museum and Library. It la just and proper that there should always btr a good worklcg llbraiy somewhere In the Capitol, for the benefit of the few members who desire to refer to it In connection wUh their legislative duties; but that suca a vast accumu'atlon o? 1 terary treasures shoull remain a mere personal convenience to congressmen is an idea too monstrous to b" much longer tolerated or entertained In any quarter. As well m:|ht n.errbeis of the British Parliament undertake to hold the great cell ctio .s In the Museum for tLelr exel isive use. Tne library here has been colli eted and ~astaln 1 a: public expanse: the public money will have to p^y for tat building to contain it. when built; and the humblest citizens in tlx land should have a-* free access to It as the highest dignitary who temporarily serves them lu an official capacity. It is said th it Mr. lIo*ell3. late editor of the A' a rt*, is to be appoint'd tiarye tfa.ii>inv.< at t-ereva. If so, 1? m.?y b- supposed iha? Mr. How* lis has another n v 1 to write, and d*?-?lre* t..e support ot tne Unitel > a es wiiile laboring in Us production.?Chu wju Tt a-*. Well, so long asofficesof this sort have to be Idled. i?erhaps the country will not very seriously object to gratifying Mr. llowells'desire, If It really ex!s*s, for lu th.;t event literature w'.u. at least, have gained som-thtng for th-* salary paid. Up to th - pre.-oat time, so far a? we are aware. n>> it of any kind has ever te?n return'd for the sums drawn as compensatlon for "ofilclal" s?-rv<ees performed in the Do-dtlon earned. if ill mir - M.yiuublllt, lOilirXUlatlves would furnish the world with a clever took occasionally that branch of the piblle service would not be kept up in vain. The Senate bill removing the tax on bink thpofclts meets with favorable consideration^ the House, on the theory that it will compensate the banks for the section in the funding bill t quiring them to use the three per ceat bonds. An aceura'e computation shows that the amount lost to the revenue by the abolition of this tax would more than double the saving l>> tie scction of the funding blU to which t e banks object. If. however, the removal of thl* tax is amattfr of justice, th?n profit and loss idicu'.d Lot be considered In connection with it. lt t* 8-i'd that coL lagersoil objects to the whipping post on the ground that "no pualshment shar l be prescribed by law which a gentleman coi; i not iniitet."
