SUITS AGAINST ANTE-BELLUM PosTMAs-
TERs.-At the outbreak of the late war
many postmasters in the southern States
had in their Offices stamps or funds Of con-
siderable value, which were seized by the
Confederate Government, and of which no
further account has since been rendered
to the Department at Washington. The
United States Government has commenced
all over the South actions at law to recover
its claims. In this State, during the past
month, suits have been Instituted against
nearly one hundred Of the delinquents.
Among these we notice the name of Colo
mel Thomas P. Bigger, late postmaster of
Richmond, whose liabilities to the Govern
ment amount to nearly $4,000, and the
Government has even gone 80 far as to
attach his property and that Of his sure
ties, Messrs. Charles W. Purcell and Jos.
Allen, both of. this city. It certainly
seems unfair that these gentlemen should
be made to suffer, when the funds were
taken by authority of the Confederate
States, and there is not one little Of evil
dence to prove any dishonesty on the part
of the postmaster. .

GooD FRIDAY.-Yesterday was Thurs.
day Of Holy Week, sometimes termed
Maundy- Thursday, or the day Of the man
date "Do this in remembrance of me-"
1t is followed by Good Friday, which is
set apart to commemorate the crucifxion
of Jesus. In the Catholic Church, upon
this day, the Tenebre is celebrated in COM
memoration of the darkness attending the
crucifxion. Fourteen yellow candles, re.
presenting the Virgin, the Apostles, and
the women, are lighted; fourteen psalms
are chanted, and at the end of each can
die is extiDguished; after which, darkness
and silence reign. At st. Peters, Rome,
the hundred lamps on the tomb of the
Apostle are put out, and an immense illu-
minated cross hangs, as if self-dependent,
from the dome.
In England, Good Friday and Christmas
are the only close holidays of the year,
when the shops are all closed and the
churches opened. In ireland, it was once
rule on Good Friday to starve infants
and exhibit public signs of woe. In Spain,
they hold obsequies, in which the death
and burial of Jesus are represented, and
to which they used to add the execution
of Judas. But in all countries most oi
these eccentric customs have waned. The
day is observed in the Greek, Roman, An.

interesting ceremonies, of which our linn
