A Customs DECISION.—The Secretary of the Treasury has decided that manties com- posed of silk and fur, commoaly known as “silk cloaks, lined with far,” or as fur-lined manties, are dutiable according to the rela- tive value of the two materials.

THE SUIT OF THE GOVERNMENT against the Union Pacific railroad company, which has been set by the United States Supreme Court for argument on the 26th instant, in- volves more money than any case which has ever been in litigation tn this or perhaps any other country. The government issued to the Union Pacific ratlroad, the Central Pa- cific and tts branches sixty-five million dol- lars in bonds. They were for thirty years, with interest payablesemi-annually. "These companies claim that they are not require 1 to pay the interest until the end of thirty years. Meanwhile the government has met the reml-annual instalments. It now wants restitution, and has demanded it. Tne case first came up in Congress. That body allowei the companies to go to the Court of Claims. The Court of Claims sustained the point made by the railroad compamies, from whic! opinion the government has appealed to the United States Supreme Court.

Cowea was b-sieged with seekers for inforination, bat shook his hea! and gave no one any satisfaction. Tue im pression among inquirers seemed to be, how ever, that he could if he desired throw a flood of lighton the subject. It is bat proper io say that the failnre to appoint a new Seere- tary to-day or to make an ad interim appoint- ment has occasioned delay in the transaction of public business and eulatied some loss on the government. As an illustration, it may be meutioned that fully one-half’ of the eo specifications for the tent issues this week, numbering 318, will have to be reprinted, as half of the entire burber were ready this morning for the sig- nature of the Secretary. These must b> re- printed. Of pee eS or pro- Motions couid be made y. nor could a: from the differeat bureaus be consid- ered or decided, or requisitions signed.
