WASHINGTON, December ~, lS45.
Jonathan C. Ayres.--Mr. McNulty called at the
Bank of America, in New York, on the 18th Of Mo-
yember. 1914, and drew check for Sl53 54--that
being Tie balance due him on his account He OBJ
tanned the money. Mr.. Fendall remarked that the
next witnesses in order were Mr.. Randolph, Mr..
GiIlet, and Mr. Hungerford that the last could not
be here before noon and as the two others were not
IN ATTENDANCE he should he obliged TO wait for
them. After few remarks, as to the hardship in
acted by these delays upon his client, by Mr.. Stan
ton, the court, jury, reporters and others occupied
themselves during delay Of three quarters of an
hour in various ways. Mr.. Nourse, Of the Treasu-
nv Department, then came into court and presented
the documents that It was expected Mr.. Gillett
would produce. Afier a further delay Of twenty
minutes,
William B. Randolph was called TO the stand II
have not been able to find the original paper that
presented to McNulty. have sought through the
various Offices in the Treasury Department and in
the Office of the House of Representatives, but can
not find il. believe it is in the Treasury De-
par,ment. Mr. Fendall then offered secondary evil
dence of its conients objected to by the defence.
The court overruled the evidence offered.
Hon. orvile Hungerford.----I was a member OF
The Committee of Accounts at the last session OF
the House Of Representatives. The duties of this
committee are prescribed by the l0lst rule of the
House, the part Of the rule concerning the set
| Ting OF accounts was adopted in 1905. was
present in the House when the Speaker laid be-
| fore the House the report OF. the clerk, on the
| 7h of January, l845 NcNuy was present
when the Speaker presented this report. The
report was not presented to the committee be-
fore it was presented 10 the House; we had been
looking for II. The committee met first early in
| the scsson--Dcc IL. The clerk never came before
us 10 settle his accounts. The first action OF the
committee, in. calling upon McNulty for settle
ment or his accounts was on the l4th Of January.
/ THE journal Of the committee was read can

without his previous knowledge or consent.
Enoch M. Smallwood. - was messenger in the
House of Representatives during the session Of
lS44-45. The chairman of the Committee on Ac-
counts gave me letter to deliver to McNulty. ]
called at Coleman's; McNulty was not there's lefi il
at the bar. Went next day with another, from the
same to the same; left il at the bar This was about
week before McNulty WINS dismissed--am more
certain it was week than day previous.
- Robinson.--I was clerk in the House Of
Representatives during the session Of l944-45.
Don't remember when Kershaw left Washington;
know that he did leave. Remember the day Nc
Nuty addressed the House in relation to this BUSH
ness; don't know If Kershaw was in the city that
day or not; Kershaw had been gone five or six
days. Ii was here admitted by defendant that
Kershaw came back TO Washington on the evening
Of the 18th. This admission was declined by the
United States, and then withdrawal p
B. b. French saw Kershaw on the 18th OF
January.
Thomas Woodward, deputy marshall cannot
say the date when first saw kershaw, without
looking at the warrant; saw him on Sunday, (this
was the lath.)
Tho object In ascertaining when Kershaw re-
turned, WINS to show that though McNulty stated
to the House Of Representatives that the cause Of
his not making out full account was the absence
Of Kershaw, his confidential clerk, from the city
and that as soon as he would return he (McNulty)
wouldlmake a settlement, yet that, though Kershaw
did return before McNulty was dismissed, no set
Element was made by him.
The defence again offered TO admit that Kershaw
was here the night Of the 17th, but declined by
the United States
Robinson re-called.---I don't remember having
any correspondence with Mr.. French on this sub
ject.

Old Winters .Soliloauy.

Old Winter jumped up from his icy bed
And thus to himself said he;
Aha! Old Autumn at last is dead,
The red leaves are lying around his head
he left bis business TO me, Che said,
Now what's to be done i--lets see.
He's rpened the fruit on the teeming pain,"
He said, as he went his way ~
The rich green leaves, and the waving grain,
He's tinged with golden hue again. .
And the farmer has reaped for his toll and pan
Now what can | do, but play'"
Old Winter passed on, in his robe of snow,
Afrolicksome wight is he
And he said to himself, at last, g I'll go,
And whistle along, as sort of beau,
For those ladies who'd like a better, you know,
But have to take up with me.
Old Winterindulged in his schemes Of bliss,
Till he fairly shook with glee;
"Oh!" says he to himself, g What capital kiss,
I'll have on the cheek Of that pert young miss,
Till her ushes are red as rose at this,-
What matter is that to me .s.
Ger hill and DER dale I'lride along,
And wlther the herbage green;
And sing snatch OF my favorite song,
As rave and rattle the boughs among,
Till all the people shall say, Pm come
In my sparkling car, ween."

Important TO Gentlemen.

RDWARD McCUBBlN has handsomely fitted
III up the three-story house recently erected on
the site of his former stand, where he will be happy
to resume his business as barber and hair dresser,
He very respectfully invites return Of his old and
esteemed customers, and soicts the patronage OF
the public generally TO the Temple OF Fashion,
No. |, on 9th street, near Pennsylvania avenue.
With the most competent assistants, and every de-
scrption OF materials that can render his opera
tions luxury, instead of a dull, sleepy process,
he fatters himself that to him will be accorded the
credit Of keeping pace with the times in all that
has tendency to add to the comfort and improve
the appearance Of the outer man.
Not only in the face has Nature made
Its comeliness and beauty to abound,
But in the scissors edge and razor's blade
The aids to loyeliness are ever found

partment provides instruction in all the branches
OF thorough English business education, in addi-
tion to the Elements of the Mathematics and Clas-
sical Literature. The College course is arranged
in the four classes usual in the institutions Of this

The government Of the students is as energetic
as their circumstances seem to require. They at
tend at least two recitatonsa day. and the Faculty
contemplate increasing them to three, Church and
Bible Glass on the Sabbath, and are visited in

of Professors and provided for the most ample in

PROSPECTUS OF THE NEW LIBRARY
OF LAW AND EQUITY, under the direc-
ton of Francis j. Troubat, esq, of Philadelphia
Hon. Ellis Lewis, of Lancaster and Wilson Nc
Candless, ESQ.,, of Pittsburgh.
This work contains the best productions of Eng
lish law authors wthoutr regard to priority of claim
on the partof any American publisher Such books
are now notoriously too dear. The reason is that
as fast as they appear, they become monopoes in
the hands of booksellers in the Atlantic cities. I'm
der the plea OF right, acquired by the addition of
notes of American decisions, the latter claim un-
divided title to those works, and set burdensome
price on them. The publishers Of the work now
offered TO the profession throughout the Union, will
not respect such titles, but will reprint the standard
British law books fast as they emanate from the
London market Should new editions of the works
OF such writers as Starkie, the Chttys, Stephen,
and Archibod, appear, they shall also be included;
and digests of equity and law decisions--works
which have been studiously kept out of the Law
Library published at Phiadelp lphia--shall have a
place in the proposed new one together with every
new valuable English treatise on chancery or COM
mon law. H# U
I5s This work will be issued monthly, in num-
bers OF 100 pages, printed on fine white paper, and
good new long primer type at seven dollars per an
