master General has dismissed thirty
special post Office agents, thus directing
asaring Of $50, 900. II
|. In reply to note of Geo. MattingIy,
datci TO- day, the Postmaster Goncral in
forms him that Congress has, for the
FIRST time siuce the organization of the
Government, failed to make provisions
for the Post. Office Department. He
adds: - r. :
Had all the members ofthe next Con-
gress been elected, the President might,
on the 4th of March, have called an e.tra
session, and the commission Of the late
Congress been tupplied; but it was i'm
psssiblc to do 50 without DISTINGUISHING
Is sovereign States. This vas most uu-
fortunate. There ought TO be no time
when full Congress could not convene,
and il IL hoped that such state Of Affairs
may never again occur. Had the bill
which failed made provision only forthe
fiscal year, commencing July lst, there
would be obviously no necessity for a I,
extra session. The deficiency in the Post
Office Department on the goth Of June
will amount to 81, 49,, 39l, nearly $780,
600 of which being an unpayed balance
accumulating on the 3lst Of December
and tho 2sth # February, which can and
viii be paid by the Department within
sixty days from this date The payment
Of tic principal part will be made with.
in thirty days. ..--
The p. NJ. General makes these state
ments to show ths.' it will be impossible
to convene Congress in time to meet tht
great bulk of the responsibilities, withou
virtually excluding from Congress the
I representatives Of several sovcrcignStates
In the judgment Of the President, the les
ser evil was to wait until the FIRST Mon
day in December, when Congress will b
; full. -a..
Contracts can never be rcpudiated. -

desire, can borrow money, and the lende

March II The Grand Jury more
than week ago made presentment
against Mr.. Sickles for the murder Of Mr..
Key. 1t then became the duty Of the
District Attorney to prepare an indict,
ment and place it before them for their
fnal action This he did when it was
returned by them as true bill The
reason Of the delay is understood TO be
that they might in the meantime have
an opportunity to examine additional
witnesses more particularly, relative to
Mr.. Butterworth, and If they discovered
sufficient cause, they might iadict him
jointly With Mr. Sicklcs. Mr. Stanton
Of Pittsburg, and Messrs. Magruder and
Ratclffe, accompanied by the father Of
the accused, came into Court, aud asked
that next Monday be set aside for the
trial, but after conference with the Dis
trict Attorney, Monday week was agreed
upon for the purpose.
