THE BILL appropriating $4,000,000 for pablic buildings in Chicago has been approved by the President, and the work of building will be com- menced as soon as a site is fixed upon. THE War Drrartwent closed at noon to day, and will close every day this week at 12m. except oy Saturday, which will be observed as a holiday in all of the departments.

ASSISTANT ATTORNEY GENERAL Bristow There is no trath in the statement that Assist- apt Attorney General Bristow insists upon the Acceptance of his resignation. It is true that his resignation was tendered at the same tim that Attorney General Akerman resigned, but he withdrew it to-day at the request of the President. ImroRTANT SALE oF Reat Estate.—The fine property on the southeast corner of H and 15th streets has been purchased by Senator Fre- lingbuysen and his brother-in-law, Mr. Gris- wold, a millionaire of New York. Mr. Gris- wold, who owns one of the finest places in New- port, will hereafter spend his winters here, and will most likely at some not very distant day erect a large and elegant new house on the lot above described. H.J. RaMSDELL, of the Cincinnati Commercial, gives to the’ new Attorney General, Williams. the credit of having so engincered the voting upon the Impeachment articles as to commit the ti-impeachment Senators on the strong articles—the eleventh, second and third—and then, by getting an adjournment of the Senate sitting ‘as an impeachment court sine die, pre- vented them from securing the moral support of some of the impeachment Senators who would have voted against some of the weak articles. <Lus is described as of the medium height and delicately formed.

Sexaror Witson bas left here forhis home in Massachusetts where, it is said, he intends preparing an elaborate and careful speech, re- viewing and replying to the charges made against the present admin'stration. Tt will be his endeavor to prove, among other things, by statements that he claims to have carefully veri- fied, that defaulters under Grant are fewer in number than under any other adminstration. even taking into consideration the magniturk of the business transacted. This opinion he proposes to verify by giving a number of curious facts from the annals of other administrations. Mr. Wilson will probably deliver this speech before the: New Hampshire state republi- can convention soon tobe convened. The re- publican managers are preparing for a deter- mined fight in that state, hoping to regain the control they lost last winter. Socrety Cutt-Cuat.—Christmas, as a church- going day and a day for family reunions, w: pretty strictly observed in Washington. Of fam- ily frolies there were many; of large entertain- ments none at all. According to time-honored custom there was a merry band of masquerad- ers, who, bringing their music with them, drop. ead in at several of the fashionable houses in eorgetown last evening. These informal mas- querades are a feature of Christmas in George- town. About twenty young gentlemen, in full masquerade costume, Call in at some half-dozen reparations are for their reception; all ny of la- dies and gentlemen invited to meet them, aud a substantial are provided. The night is pretty equally divided between the several houses vis- ited, the last on the Iist being reached at an hour so late that it becomes early.

Panis, Dec. 25.—The members of the right center in the national assembly having made overtures to the legitimists for a coalition, the latter in reply say they will usual y, coalesce, but at thesame time will reserve their independence. They also announce their disapproval of the Orleans Princes as leaders. Spain and Caba. Maprip, Dec. 25.—The meeting of the Cortes has been postponed until the 3oth of January. Admiral Ee , Minister of Colonies, has an- nounced his intention of making a reform in the volunteer organization in Havana.

New York, Dec. 26.—The World's London correspondent gives the English case submitted to the Geneva conference. It contains ten di- visions. The first is a statement of what the British government conceives is referred to the arbitrators. The second is a narrative of the chief events of the Ameriean civil war pertinent tothe issues under arbitration and the course pursued by Great Britain. The third is an ex- position of certain general propositions ot inter- national law governing the conductof neutrals, the power possessed by the British executive at the time to enforce those propositions or rules. and the means employed at the request of th: United Siates. The fourthisa statement of gen- eral considerations wo be kept In view, while ex- amining what was actually asked by the United States and done by the British government re- specting the four chief cruisers. The fitth gives i oo a tacts about the Florida. The sixtn deals with the Alabama; the seventh with the Geor- gia; the eighth with the Shenando2; the ninth recapitulates, and the tenth is a summary of in: ternational practice in neutrality. In respect to belligerent recognition little or nothing is said except to compare the dates of its issue with th. dates of certain acts by the United States and confederate governments touching the four chief cruisers. The British case denies that two of them were specially adapted in whole or in part within Bri waters to warlike use, and, therefore, are not within the rules, or that the British government or Mr. Adams had reasona. ble ground to believe they were inten:led to cruise or to commit hostilities. No warning in respect to them was ever given. Both were formerly merchant vessels and left the British waters as such. As to the two others they were suitable for warlike use, but in respect to neither can the British government be justly charged with that negligence from which flows the duty of pecuniary recompense. In the case of the Alabama evidence disclosing her real char- acter was furnished by Mr. Adams in driblets, and orders were finally given for her detention. Within four or tive days after the last piece of testimony was submitted, and be- fore the orders against her could reach Liver- pool, she had fraudulently escaped to sea. The British case throughout is amicable and calm, manifesting a desire to submit in good faith everything to the decision of the tribunal, but firmly protesting that Great Britain ought not to be found guilty of international negli Deore or any unneutral acts done to either elligerent. —— Shocking Railroad Accident and Loss of Life. Denvere, Iowa, Dec. 25.—Saturday night « passenger train bound north, on the Burlington, Cedar Rapids and Minnesota railroad, brok: through the bridge over Shell Rock river at Rockiord station, Iowa, precipitating the en- gine, caboose, baggage car and one coach down twenty-five feet.
