A correspondent of the New York Evangelist, writing from Tokee, Japan, refers in the follow- ing pleasant way to General Williams, who will be remembered by many of our readers as the commissioner of internal revenue prior to his selection by the -apanese government to inan- gurate and mangge an internal revenue system for that country. By way of variety, I must teil you of a wedding anniversary given ashort time since by General Williams, or the Okurasho, ‘Treasury department. Generali an@ Mrs. Wil- lhams were married in Paris a year ago, and are the handeomest couple I ever saw. The flags of ail vations were festooned around the room, which eas built for the occasion. Many fing looking officers from the flag ship Hartford a ded gold lace and grace to the affair, which was all that fashion, beauty, merriment, ard music could make it. With the exception of the presence of sundry you could hardly’ Pesrance of things from an entertaiument of Fifth Avenue, and the refreshment tables and accompaniments would have done creait to Delmonico.

Tre Postat CaR PKIRMISHING.—President Hinckley, late yesterday afternoon telegraphed the Postmaster General as follo If your agents put mails into our cars at Washington, ew York, or elsewhere, we shall consider the act an orderto carry the mails on our road at the rates which we bave given you. It you cannot pay these rates do not let your azents putany msi! into any of our cars, aud then plead ignorance of the obligations the Post Office cepartment is under in consequence.” On the receipt of the telegram the Postmaster General by telegraph, advised Mr. W. L. Hunt, sesistant superintendent railwa: as follows: ‘If atter this the Philadelphia, Wi mington, and Baltimore railroad company co’ tinue majl service ou this road, this action wi dered as the perform: of service for the compensation fixed by law.” The Attorney Genera] at a conference held to-day with Post- master General Marshall, stated that the law fixed the compensation so explicitly with refer- ence to the postal car service that no opinion was needed on the subject to interpret its com truetion. Last evening Postmaster Geveral Marshall forwarded telegrams to Col. ‘Thomas A. Scott, of the Pennsylvania railroad, and John King, ir., president pro tem. of the Baitimore an Ohio railroad page maa relative to the pending difficulties of the department with Mr. Hinck- ley. Col.

I bope you will be able to make satisfactory arrangements so that the mails may not be Soke from the channels you have heretofore used.

Inspector of buildings, Mr. ‘I. M. Plowman, sent a report to-day to Lieut. Hoxie in relation to the condition of Central guatdhouse, in which he states that he bas made a careful sar- vey of that building and finds the principal floor about 26 inches below the surface of the sidewalk, made s0 by the recent improvement of the street, and added to this the natural iow ground on which it is sitnated makes the sewer- age moreimperfect. The building was originally substantially erected, and doubtless sufficieut!y strong for any purpose. It is badly arranged fer so important a purpose as its present u-¢, and if the circumstances of the present would justify be would recommend its disuss and the selection of a more suitable site. While this is true, it may be impracticable at this time to consider the rebuilding of this house, hence the only thing left is to repair it. To accomplish this in any effectual manner it will be necessary to entirely renovate it. Tne stench arising from it is so intolerable that or- ficera cannot remain within its walls for sleep when off duty. He recommenis that the entire floor be taken out and the flithy debris and ac- cumulated matter be taken out and filled up one or more feet with concrete, an entire new sewer pipe laid, elevated as much as possible to give more certain drainage, and a new system of water closets put in; relay the flagging in cement mortar over the entire surface, and to introduce @ suflicient number of ventilating shatts from the cells properly adjusted to ex- haust above the root. A thorough whitewashing and repainting of the building inside is also recommended. THE DISTRICT AND THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK OP NEW YORK. The Washington correspondent of the New York Times sa ‘The indebtedness of the Dis- |, pine 6.50, oak trict to the First National Bank of New York city, already mention¢ has’ been d in these dispatches, Adjusted. The total hich, in point of fact, was a legacy from the first six months of the first year of the administration of the late Dis- trict government, for which no taxes were levied. Gen, Ketcham arranged this indebted nets in his recent visit to New York, whica wa on public, ard not on private basiness, by pay ing £115,000 in cash, and adjusting the rem sin der to tail Gue during the fall months, and ra ducing the interest thereon from tento seven per cent. per annum. His action was ratified by his colleagues on bis return, and notes of 1 oid Distr.ct officials taken up and new ow given therefor. The bank is satistied, the C. missioners are satisfied, and the ultimate resul in the full payment of the doubtless Ue satisfactory to District. In addition ta the p for salaries, wages, Gc, the Have alzo paid = i g on account of loans and indebtaduess secured by collateral. In this way they have released between $600,000 and $700,010 of the assets of the District held as collateral. Tax NEWsPareR AND THE ADVERTISE Say what you will, itshuman natare to these who favor you, and do it honest liberal advertiser, in’a reputable busines always a good fellow, as mean men never a vertise. When you hear a man express con- tempt for the newspapers, set him down as a feol. Ifyou want to test him, and prove that he lies, puff him, and see how pleased ba will be, and how cordial he will be, and how he will pat youon the back. There is nothing that you cou'd do but what would be forgiven and for- gotten sooner than @ little uncomplimentary squib in @ mewspaper. You may goon all your life saying good things every day about some person without one word of credit; but the first item of reprimand, and all yoa have done is for- gotten at once, and you lave a bitter and re- lentless enemy from that time. Every person who wants to purchase any kind of merchan- dise will read an advertisement of that mer- chardise whenever it appears before him. While we believe that every person engaged in &@ respectable business should advertise, we also believe it to be the duty of the publisher, evers thing else being equal, to do what he can, whenever the opportunity oifers, to favor those who favor him. Foreurselves, we always stay by our,frienda, and never yet, heathenich as it may seem. forget an enemy.

Tae Puirapetrnia Cuitp ABpvcTion. The Philadelphia correspondent of the New York Tribune says:—‘“The full faith now placed in the supposed Allentown clew by the police is an evidence that they have no trace of the party after they put the e! boy out of the buggy. According to the story worked upby the repurt- ers in Allentown, a man ht a child into that city on the train from Hi arg at a week after the abduction took place, purchased a suit of clothes for the boy in a furnishing store, and bad his bair cut in & barber shop. At this lay the people who saw these transac- tions @ got it into their heads that the child looked like Charley Koss, and that the man acted suspiciously, and the pow pate ny fey cei ers have Mi the notion and made most of the answers to the leading questions they ad- dressed the willing wituesses. The improbability of one of the kidnappers running about the country with the child under his arm, traveling on the railroads and visiting large towns, where the police might be supposed to be on the alert ter him, does not appear to have struck any- body. In all probability the man was a western drover, ss he pretended to be, and had come east with cattle. This would account for the dirty and unkempt appearance of the child.” etive Taggart, of the Pennsylvania de- tective bureau, is still at work on the case.
