GEoReE w. ADAMS, Esq, of this city deiy
known as journalist, was married yesterday
10 Miss Jennie L Barclay, daughter of John NJ
Barclay, Esq, Journal Clerk OF the House
Representatives. The ceremony, which was
private, was performed by the Rev DIR
Gillette, at the residence of the brides
iather-Mr. James r. Young (oi the New
Icrk TribEne) officiating as groomsmau, and
MISS Mary Barclay, sister OF the BRIDE as
bridesmaid. The bridal party left Washington
by the evening train for trip North
We suppose il is rather superfuou to wish
he welded couple happiness starting as they
do under such sunny auspices, but we do so
very heartily with the added expression of
opinion, that George has done a very sensible
thing in taking this step: and that like the first
OF his name, who found Eden i-ksome without
a companion, he, 1T later period of The
worlds (and World's) history, has succeeded
in getting very charmingly mated.
TEE INTERIOR DEPARTNKNT, and various
bureaus thereof, will be closed all dav on
Christmas and New Years day, and at one
O'Clock p. m. on the eve OF those days. On the
intermediate days during the holidays, the
Department will be closed at three o'clock p.
N. instead of four.
Secretary McCulloch this morning issued an
order closing his Department on Christmas and
New Years day, and directing that the Office
hours be until three instead OF four O'Clock p.
m. during the holidays.
No order has yet been issued at the War De-
partment, bnt 1t is probable that one similar to
the above Will be promulgated tomorrow.
NEARLY ALL OF TIE NJ. C.'s have left for
home for the holidays. anu there is not likely
to be much committee work dore during the
recess. Governor Morgan. with characteristic
industry, will remain here during part of the
recess TO look after some matters entrusted to
him. Messrs. Washburne and Schepck will
also 10 a good deal toward advancing the bu-
siness of the Hsuse Committee on Ways and
Means and on Appropriations. Senator Sum
ner is looking up the authorities in favor of a
speedy return to specIe payments, and Repre-
sentative Butler, of his State, is preparing a
laborious argument against il.
