A little incident occurred in Wash
ington during the recent visit of John
Morrissey worth relating. As this gen.
tleman was standing in the door of
Wizards, he was approached and sa-
luted by the notorious Beau Hickman,
in his politest tone, who remarked
''The Hon. Mr.. Morrissey, member of
Congress from New York, l believer
THE same, at your service" good nat
urally replied Mr.. Morrissey. Il am
Beau Hickman, Mr.. Morrissey. am
glad to see you.b "Ah, Mr.. Hickman,
giving him his hand, "what can do for
YOU p IAN introduction fee Of one dol
lar from you, if You please, Mr.. Norris
sey." The tax was cheerfully paid, and
the two celebrities conyersed for sever
al moments upon the state of the coun-
try, the policy Of the President and Con-
gress. Bean subsequently, in remark
ing upon the gentlemanly manner OF
Mr.. Morrissey, said that it really ap-
peared to him that the South had got
back, and the country was safe.-Udsh-

Summary Of the Report Of the Post
Master General.

New YORK, Dec. 3.-The following is
q summary of the Postmaster Generals
report:
The expenditures for the year exceeds
the receipts by S695, 093,O9. The in
crease of revenue, compared with the
previous year, WAS 8 per cent, and the
increase of expenditures II per cent, in-
Guiding the standing appropriation for

mate portion of the revenue yet remain
ing unexpended. The actual deficiency
for the past year is only $685., U93,09.
The aggregate length of mail routes
in operation the past year was 10000
miles.
During the year much of the service
in the late insurgent States was i'll OPP
Grafton only part of the year. The net
postal liabilities from those States while
in operation exceed the receipts by 49,
3S3. There has been an increase the past
year in those States of LOG routes, A.
~ miles and Sl.lS 1863 annual cost.

tagcs. 4 convention with Brazil is ,

the Sandwich Islands, but Congress
must determine the conditions of re-
lease. He urges Il liberal policy toward
the enterprise.
The free delivery is in operation in
forty-siX of the principal cities, and Is

provement Of the system.

matters.
