With the approach of Christmas the me, =

of Eastern bazsars, with their co.tly wares
and gorgeous colorings. Foremost in en-
terprise, energy and taste is Mr.. James A.
Sanders, who, in his commodions store, With
its larpe g windows, especially at night when
brilliantly Illuminated, dazzles the eyes Of
the spectators with the attractive display of
beautiful goods Of almost endless variety.
Almost every want can be supplied as 10 in
dicated by the numerous throngs of de-
lighted purchasers of all classes and tastes
who crowd this establishment. Sanders
not only has large and varied assortment
of goods suitable for all ages, sexes, condi-
tions and races, but the best part Of 1t 10

THURSDAY AND TIE TREASURE PASSES
OPINION AND vnHTuRxs REILLY THs
NEXT DAY.
A surprised and panied expression cloud.
ID the usually pleasant face Of City Treas
surer Vincent yesterday morning, o. he sat
bolt upright in his Office chair, and read IN
In the H1IALD the report Of the Nnancs
Committee upon his communication. Just
as he laid the paper down, the HIEAL1
reporter entered the room and proceeded 10
question him upon his opinion of the report.
II contradict the statement, /" he said,
"mads by the Finance Committee, in their
report to Council, that four months ago
i've appropriations were svsrdrawn."
"How 10 thstW asked the HSRALD.
II shall try and explain; the sppropris-
tions, as the account stood on the books sf
the City Clerk, were overdrawn. Tho &C.
count on the clerks books, however, was
simply that of bills ordered to be paid by
Council; there 10 one thing in passing bill
and another In paying 1t. The bills which
were ordered to b. paid and 90 specified on
the clerks books would have overdrawn
the appropriations had they been paid, but
refused to pay them. It was only today
and sven before I had read this report IN
the HERALD, that Council tried to ovsrs
draw our appropriations, namely: Water,
Hospital, Salaries and Public Building, bui
refused to pay the bills. In this roDsrt
the present Council i . bad q. approaching
"whst do you think Of the statement
made by the report, that more than q, 900
passes through your hands yearly r.
"That is very true In one sense, but /
have to receipt for all money as cash that
Is collected aud deposited. At any tims
could compel the collectors and depositors
to pay the money down to mo personally"
The Treasurer then went on to speak Of
some other points Of the Finance Com
mittees' report, one of which was the allu-
sion to what he had said of the rascality of
Tweed. He said he had no allusion 10 Mss
Stinson at all.
Asregards the concluding words Of nc
Finance Committee" remarked Treasurer
Vincent, 81 consider them to be very unbes
coming and undiQniAed. should think I
was acting very ungentlemanly, were I 10
recommend In public document that Mr..
Guthrie should give up his grocsry store,
or Mr.. Hart his pork packing establish
ment IN order TO give nere attention 10
their duties as Counsilmen. They have
nothing to do with my corrsspondenes
whatever" gs
Mr.. Vincent concluded by saying that the
Treasurer's Office was now filled with busi-
ness that did not belong there, and all of ithad
now to be removed, The Treasurer's duties
simply consist In receiving and paying out
the city's money, and hereafter he would
insist on all things being done In his oflss
according to law.
"More will be said Of this hereafter"
remarked tho Treasurer, a. he bowed the
reporter out Of the room.

ANKLE AND BROKEN roox THE RasuEr.
From our Special Correspondent.
y, NEW CAsTLH, Dec. 20, 1873.
Two prisoners attempted to break jail
last night. AZ near as we can learn the
particulars are ~ follows: About mid-
night our policeman discovered . man in
the green near the jail wall, and when they
approached him he fed, this caused sus.
picion, and they examined the wall and
ground near it, and found long rope
they then went to the jail and informed the
warden, who on examining the yard found
two men, German named Baerenbach and
VIM. Collins, of Wilmington, in one Of the
areas helpless-Barenbach with spraiaed
ankles, and Collins with his foot broken.
The cell window, where they were confined,
had bar In 1t which had been sawed In
two nearly year ago, and of course was
easily removed. They had, after removing
the bar, torn up their blankets for ropes.
Baerenbach passed out first and slipped off
the rope to the ground. Collins followed,
and when partly down the rope broke,
causing his accident. They have now con
cluded that jail.breaking is . failure and
will quietly serve out their time.
