The act which has been prepared in the treas
ury department will be introduced in congress
after recess. which is entitled an act to revise,
consolidate and amend the statutes in
relation to estimates, appropriations, and
public accounts. The act prescribes a new
form and arrangement of estimates for appro-
priations. Where an appropriation is asked for
public buildings or other work, detailed esti-
mate of the whole cost of such work must be
submitted; wherever estimates for salaries or
current and ordinary expenditures exceed the
appropriations for the preceding fiscal year, a
statement of reasons shall accompany them.
Several similar improvements over the present
custom are incorporated in the bill. Tue form
and arrangement of appropriation bills are sim
plided and improved. The proceeds of all sales
of public property must be deposited in the
treasury, subject to appropriation by congress.
The act contains thirty.six sections, covering a
great variety of subjects touching the details of
the treasury department business, in which re-
forms and additional checks are desired. 1t will
be referred to the appropriation committee
The day preceding Christmas has been almost
if not quite the coolest oil the season.

ations for the morrow, when all business will be
suspended and the day be given to pleasure
and festivities. The government departments
will be closed, and till New Years day is past

for the prosecution only was introduced
which was substantially as follows: Long
sold shoes from the stock of Mrs. G. L.
Eaton, at 90 Park street, in the rear of whose
store he had a shop, and appropriated the
money for himself. The store was stocked by
Mrs Eaton, and by an agreement made with
Long, the business was to be attended to by him
and her husband, until its profits had doubled
the capital invested, when division was to be
made. Since May last there have been losses Of
some $3.50, while a recent taking of stock and
looking over of books shows that there should
have been profit. Mr.. Eaton, suspecting Long
Of dishonesty, had friends make purchases al
the store when Long was alone, and finding no
accounts of these sales upon the sale slate or in
the till, had Long arrested.
