The Posi- OFFICE APPRoPRIArros.-Tbe mr..
gument made use of by several newspaper cor
respondents writing from this city, that, '.il
the Post Office Department can be sustained
till near the close of August, without the inter
vention of Congress, it can be till the end of
November, is fallacy. Besides the indebt-
edness which the Department is prepared to
meet, there will be but a small balance dine
before the latter part Of August. 1t is then
that the great bulk Of the expenses for the last
quarter OF the year ending on the Both of June
next are to be paid. 1t is apparent, therefore,
that if Congress shall be convened in August
there will be time enough allowed to pass an
appropriation bill before more than propor-
tionably small portion of the money is required.
1t does not follow that because parties will
trust othcrs to $50 they will trust them to S. 900
