From Washington.

WASHINGTON, Dec. H. The government
is much pressed for money. So urgent, in
deed, is the necessity for an immediate sup
ply, that the Secretary of the Treasury today
sent for MIR. Hunter, the chairman of the
Committee of Finance of the Senate, urging
Congressional action Immediately, authorizing
the issue of treasury notes. The secretary
wants Congress to take action on tho matter
as early as Monday next, but in conseq aence
of the arrangements already made. to an.
nounce the death of the late Senator Butler,
Of South Carolina on that day, the Senate
will not act till Tuesday, when, it is under
stood, the Finance Committee will report
bill for the relief of the Treasury.
The House committee, appointed to inquire
when the new hall viii be ready for occu-
pancy, have agreed to recommend removal
on Wednesday, although the premises are
banked with rubbish and in an unfinished
condition. Capt. Meigs, the Superintendent.
has made no provision for the newspaper
press, an omission for which he is Justly CEN
sured. The Senate caucus yesterday post
poned the Proposition for the election of new
officers, excepting the public printer, until
December next. They were driven to this
course by the opportunities OF office seek
ers Speaker Orr was all day closeted at the
Capitol with his political friends, forming the
standing committees, which probably will be
announced on Monday.
Theodore Sedgwiek has been appointed
District Attorney for New York, vice Nc
Keen, removed.
WASHINGTON, Dec. l3.--The object of Sir
VIM. Gore Ouseley's mission will not be spe.
cially communicated to the State Department,
until the opinion Of Her Majesty's Govern
-
Message concerning Central America, shall
have been ascertaned.
More than 100000 has been distributed
by the Sergeant. at Arms, in part payment of
the mileage of Members of Congress. 1t is
contemplated to pass resolution this week
to pay arrearages of salary from the 4th of
March last, now, instead of waiting until the
end Of the session. About 5000, 900 will be
required for this purpose.

ARRIVAL OF WALKER AND HIS
MEN AT NICARAGUA.

NEW ORLEANS, Dec 1.-THE steamship
Empire City, from New FORK I'd inst, via
Havana, is ashore at the Balize, but will
probably be got off to night She connected
at Havana with the steamship Star of the
West, from Aspinwall, with the California
mails and about two and quarter millions in
treasure for New York.
Gen. Walker, who it will be recollceted,
took his departure from Mobile Bay, on the
18th ut., in the steamship Fashion, landed
at Punta Arenas, in Nicaragua, on the 10Th
of November, with 100 men. Not the slight
est attempt was made to prevent their landing,
and in fact the purpose of the expedition
appeared to have not even been guessed. The
U. S. sloop-of-war Saratoga was lying in the
harbor and the Fashion passed under her
stern at full speed with only ten men on deck.
The whole party were landed at Scott's
wharf. Walker had, it seems, sent fifty men
up the river by other entrances, before making
his appearance at Punta Arenas. After land
ing the expedition, the Fashion took her de-
parture for Aspinwall, where. at the departure
of the Star of the West, she was taking coal on
board. Commodore Paulding, of the United
States frigate Wabash, attempted to seize her at
Aspin wall, but, on examining her papers,
found them correct, and consequently could
take no further steps against her. The Brit.
iSh and American naval forces had sailed from
Aspinwall for San Juan, and would very
probably take part in the scenes in that vicln-
ity, or, at least, prevent the landing of any
more tilibusters
1t was supposed that the difficulties be-
tween Costa Rica and Nicaragua, alluded to
in previous accounts, would be settled with
out resort to hostile measures.
The news from California, by this arrival,
embraces no points of special interest. The
public were much excited with regard to the
seaworthiness of the Pacific mail steamers.

Bosworth, at West Springfield, on Wednesday
night, and took Mr.. b. pantaloons from the
bedroom, and rihed the pockets of 500. No
noise was heard by the inmates, and the rob
berry was not discovered till Mr.. Bosworth
missed his pantaloons upon getting up on
Thursday morning.
A few evenings ago Southerner,
formerly lieutenant in the United States

DEVELOPMENTS RESPECTING THE LATE MUIR
DER IN EAST BosToN. = The cold blooded
murder of Ezekiel w. Hodsdon, while in the
performance of his duty as an officer of the
city police, some weeks since, sent thrill of
horror through the community, at the time.
The whole affair seemed clouded in an impen-
atrable mystery. But murder has thousand
tongues and is sure to be exposed, sooner or
later. As rumor has it, the actors in the af.
fair are known to our police through the con-
fession of one of the parties engaged in the
transaction, named Joyce, in confinement in
the Jail OF this city, for store breaking in
Lynn.
Joyce's story is, that he. and another Of
fender, named John McNulty, had just re.
turned from an unsuccessful predatory adj
venture in North Chelsea. On arriving in
East Boston, they met the late officer Holds
don, who had in his possession warrants for
both of them. Hodsdon succeeded in secur-
ing Joyce, in spite of his utmost efforts. He
appealed to his comrade, McNulty, for assist
ance, when the latter came to his rescue, and
shot the efficient police officer dead. The two
rogues then escaped. Nc Nulty's present
whereabouts are unknown to the police. The
detectives, however, are on his trail. On
certain day last week, they arrived in a town
in Canada, and were informed that their game
had flown about two days before. 1t is barely
possible that he may elude final detection,
but such an issue is hardly within the range
of probability. He is well known here as a
villain of the deepest dye, and daguerrotypes
OF him have been transmitted TO all parts of
the country, Canada, and Europe. A wagon,
which he is supposed to have used in making
his escape, has been found in a town in New
Hampshire.
Joyce was subsequently arrested, on
charge of store breaking, for which, he is
awaiting trial. 1t is said, that he claims the
reward Of $4,000 offered, for the apprehension
and conviction of the murderer of Hodsdon.

New YORK, Dec. 1.-THE famous case of
Marvine against Wood, Mayor Of New York,
was decided today in the Supreme Court, be-
fore Judge Woodruff. Every point is decided
against the defendant.
The announcement of resumption of spe-
Gle payments by our Banks, had a depressing
effect upon the stock market. The sales at
the first board were very small, and the de-
cline general. The second board was steady,
with but a trifling change from the morning

The STATE ALMsHoUsEs. = The Andoyer
Ad0ertiSer states, that the annual meeting of
the United Board OF Inspectors of State Aims
houses, was held at Tewksbury, on the LIST
inst. The whole number of State Paupers
was, as follows:-A rewksbury, 1908
Monson, $50; Bridgewater, 900; Rainsford
Island Hospital, 29O; Total, 3173.
The discussion of the question, "What
shall be done when the almshouses are full ,"
resulted in the belief. that the accommoda-
tons furnished by the State, will prove amply
sufficient, without other arrangements. Some
of the reasons assigned why the number of
paupers will not be greatly increased, were
these :-"Charitable societies are beginning
to render efficient aid /; factories are about to
resume business; immigration has nearly
ceased more rigid system of economy has
been instituted generally; there are indica-
tons of mild winter, and as soon as the
wheels of industry begin to move, many. who
are paupers simply for the want of employ
ment, will again be able to take care of them
selves"

In an article in the Bay State of Saturday, in.
Justice is done to P. Emory Aldrich, ESQ.,, not
only in Misrepresentation of his remarks, but,
especially, in imputing to him unworthy motives,
for the course he took on that occasion. The
Bay State says;
There was one fact which the learned sttor-
ney omitted to state in this connection BY late
decision OF our Supreme Court, fee Of ten dol
lars acerues to the District Attorney upon every
complaint where conviction results If the de-.
ssaa~s't e mot pay the fee comes out Of the in.
not that it would afford the public great pleasure
10 be taxed toy the liquidation Of such fees but
cannot Withhold an expression of regret that our
learned friend should have given occasion for
suspicion that he would consent to profit by
the enforcement Of an inpracticable statute"
Now, the fact ia, that the Supreme Court has
made no such decision, nor is there any reason
TO believe that any such ever will be made.
The attorney Of this district never has received
dollar Of such fees, nor, as we understand, does
he ever expect or wish to. 1t is his opinion that
he is not legally entitled to them. 1t is true
that at the last term Of the Criminal Court, in
this county, the clerk, by direction of the pre-.
siding judge, did tax such fees, so that the attor-
ney could, now, ifhs chose, draw the amount, be-
ing some $3.50, from the Treasury, but he will not
do it, believing now, as he always has, that the
law, providing for the payment of ten dollar
fee to the attorney, who appears for the Common
wealth in liquor prosecutions, was intended for
the benefit Of attorneys who appear before masis-
trates, in the country, and not for District At
torneys.
