lating the rule will be dismissed.
RKTRENCHNENT.-Thee expenditures in the
several departments of the Government hereto
fore for copper and steel plate oficia headings
to letters, &c, have amounted to a considerable
sum, but Mr.. Dawes when considering the an
preparation bill struck out all of this which was
agreed TO by the House. and consequently
nothing but plain letter press headings can
hereafter be used on oficial letters.

= APPROPRIATION ExHAusrxp.-1he appro-
priation for printing internal revepue stamps
for tobacco, beer and distilled spirits Is nearly
exhausted, and an appropriation Of about
100000, in the deficiency bill, will be required
to continue the work until the close of the
present fiscal year. As this work is executed in
the Printing Bureau at the Treasury Depart
ment, it win be continued and paid for out of
other appropriations until the passage OF the
deficiency bill. The constant demand for these
stamps makes it an imperative necessity that
the manufacture Of them shall continue without
interruption.

To GUARD AGAINST any misappropriation of
moneys arising from that source, the Com

the amount OF stamps in the hands OF the sew
eral collectors, with q view to comparing the
result Of the examination with their stamp ac-
counts as shown by the books Of the ONCE here.
whether this order was sixsued because OF known
or suspected delinquencies, or only as precsu-
tionary measure, Is not stated; but IL the inves-
legations are pushed vigorously there is little
doubt that good many fast-living oficials viii
be in the money market for short loans to max,
their cash and stamp accounts balance BY tn
time the examiner gets around.
