The Cabinet Meeting.

The Cabinet meeting today was attended by all
the members except Secretary Whitney, who is in
New York. The session lasted about three hours
and was devoted to general discussion of the
business pending in each of the departments. The
question Of shortening the hours of work in the
departments during the holiday recess, according
and it was decided that in addition to closing the
departments on Christmas and New Years days,
they would be closed at noon on each of the days
Immediately preceding these holidays, and that
they would be open for business as usual in the
interim. This course was adopted in view OF rep
reservations that business in several OF the de-
partments, notably the treasury, is somewhat in
arrears, and might accumulate to serious proper
tions if the hours of work were shortened

our Commercial Relations with Ger
many.

The annual report of Consul General Mueller at
Frankfort-on the-Man Germany, has been receiv-
ed at the State Department He calls attention
to the reactionary tendencies prevailing in that
mercal relations with the United States, which
tendencies he says explain the lllwill OF officials
against the United States. They dread, he says,
American hogs, wheat and American imports. but
still more the importation of American ideas.
Not only is a tendency to retrogresson noticeable
he saws in the political, religious and economic
spheres of life, but the barriers existing between
mankind are also foStered and multiplied to such
an extent that the spirit of caste is again becOm-
ing prominent and the feudal system resurrected.
He alludes to these tendencies as the principal
reason for the prevailing anti-AmerlcanSln, ana
in order that our government may be prepared 10
anticipate from the officials of Germany or Aus,
tria hostile as they are to American liberty and
prosperity, gratuitouS accesSl0ns. There IS al
so strong feeling ofaantpathy towards the Unit
ed States in the matter OF emigration, and every
effort is resorted to to discourage such emigra-
ton. The great import OF foreign wheat mas
caused demand for higher duties, which would
practically amount to prohibition.
A Eig Days Work.
On the call Of States for the introduction Of bills
in the House yesterday 997 bills and seven joint
resolutions were introduced, although only eleven
States were called. The Alabama members intro
duced 45 bills and seven joint resolutions, and
Arkansas is credited with 76 bills. California got
so bills, Colorado 6, Connecticut 48, Florida 2,
Georgia &c, Illinois 167, Indiana 15S, Iowa Y,
Kansas 148, Kentucky 143 and Louisiana Al.
There were also LOG petitions presented by mem
bers from the different States. If this prop0rtlon
is kept up, over 1000 bills will be introduced on
the first call for bills of the session, which IS
rather unusual, as members generally walt until
the first rush is over. Almost every new member
has big batch, and the call will consume at least
two days when the House meets again.

Louisiana was purchased from Napoleon, S10,-
100000 were reserved for the settlement OF the
private claims of United States citizens against
France. The claims were paid as presented, and
when the money was exhausted many claims were
still unsettled They were just as sound as those
which were settled, and remain to this day as the
French spoliation claims.
