rfA, We desire our readers to notice the
advertisement of Mr.. Sillman, found in an
other column. We dropped into his fancy
store, on First street, the other day, and, to
our astonishment, found him engaged in the
manufacture of all kinds of silk fringes,
cords, buttons, &c. This is an establish
ment only to be appreciated by the ladies.
Dress trimming, to suit the color of any
dress, are here made to order, and the vex-
alton consequent upon running to every
store in town, and still unable to find the
article wanted, is entirely removed.

R@~ Lyons is now opening a very large
and beautiful stock of fine clothing and
cloths, and an assortment of fine furnishing
goods. Lyons stock, when complete, win
be fully four times as large as heretofore, and
he will consequently have a much greater
variety of styles, and be enabled to furnish
his customers with fully as nice garments
as they can procure in the larger cities.

NEW York, March I'm.

The dead body of Mike Walsh, ex-mem-
Der of Congress was found in the area of
a building on Eighth avenue this morning.
He had been robbed then murdered.
Another version of the affair, which is
probably correct, reports that the deceased
fell into the area while intoxicated, and that
death was caused by breaking his neck
His sudden death has caused much excite
ment among the Democracy.

Washington Matters.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24-Secretarv Cobb
decided today that members of Congress are
not entitled to receive their pay until the
amounts due shall be certified by the Speaker
as correct, as is required 10y the act of 1878.
The law of 1856 does not repeal the other act,
and the Secretary says this decision is not rel
ished by many of the members, who have ex-
hausted their means. Col. Glossbrenner will
endeavor to provide, on his own account it is
understood, for their pressing necessities.
WAsHINGToN Dec. 25.-The mail contrac-
tors have informed and continue to inform the
department. that unless Congress makes an
appropriation early in January, for the pay
ment of what is due to them, they cannot con-
tinue the service, which has thus far been
maintained by them in a manner satisfactory
and at great sacrifices. Their credit, they
say, is now exhausted Should they surren,
der their contracts, the expense of restoring
the service will amount to not less than
ST 100000. Their expectations that Congress
would promptly pass the bill for their relief,
have been disastrously disappointed. The de-
partment has the money to pay all sums now
due for the quarter ending with September,
but not the legal authority for that pupose.
The expenses of the present quarter are not
due till February. Over S4,000000 are re-
quired on account of arrearages for the year
enulnS last u une. OtateWentS OF Indebtedness

money to the amount of 100000, are in the

A letter from Mr.. Ward, minister to China,
says the Russian envoy was in Pekin at the
time he was there; but so strict was the sur
Vigilance of the Chinese government; that it
would not allow them to see each other. The
exchange of several private notes were, how
ever, permitted.
The various government departments will be
closed tomorrow, on account of Christmas.
