No MONEY TO PAY FOR GAS.

WAsHTSGToN. July 9.-The employees of the Post
Omc, Department were seriously DELAYED at criti-
cal period Of their annual work by the exhaustion
Of the eacre appropriation made last year for gas.
During the entire month Of June She last month OF
the fiscal year they were unable 20 work a. night
as a maj lrity of them wonld otherwise have done
- close up their annual accounts. Hitherto
the laws have been such thai the deficit in any spe-
cifc appropriation OF this kind could be met BY d.
vertinF any surplus which might have been left
from other appropriations for Kindred objects. but
the last Congress made such diversion unlawful.
During the month of june a number Of the clerks
furnished their own lamps.
