Two appropriation I bdta. the Indian, and tbe Consular and I D.plomatlc, have been passed. Tbe House Committee oo appropriations bis shown remarkable Industry. The postI uffioe bill will be probably takes ap to-day. and tbe Pension Mil before tbe doae of < tbe week, .aad.il b thought, tbey will both * be passed without protracted debate. The Weal Point Academy bill, tbe Port! flea - i tioo and Army bill, it ta thoogbt, will be - | its-eel before holiday ream. The Naval i hill will be ready to be reported next ' week, and it too may be passed before Christmas. There will remain only tbe ■■ legislative, executive, sundry, civil, and deficiency bills to be passed after January toe 1st. Tbe civil service reform bill ta part of tbe legislative Mil, and it if I thought that It tnsy be passed, though desire to reform the civil service is great, that the version will hardly close without tbe passage of seme measure for that purpose. The river and harbor subject was opencd anew in tbe House on Saturday. There an animated debate between tbe and' foe* of tbe scheme. ChairPage, of tbe commerce committee, submitted a rem "uliou In wbicb Secretory Lincoln was asked to state whether of tbe money appropriated io tbe last river and harbor bill was not for tbe benefit of commerce and navigation; whether of tbe money bad been withheld, and so, for what cause, and toe amount to be on band at the end of tbe year. Tbe renewal of this vexed problem was tbe signal for toorea of memmany of whom have failed of reelection. tb clamor for recognition by toe Mr. K assoc. of lows, ss usual, wanted to amend the resolution by Inserting tbe "foreign and Inter -state" before "commerce" in tbe original resolution. He look tbe ground tost these words were necessary, as the Secretary of War could not decide any public wort unimportant, no matter bow small. Although be adt

Thanksgiving ' t° : Christmas. i Twenty business days intervene between these two holidays. 0 and we propose to make them, if possible, the greatest days r of all the year for Oak Hall sales. We are thoroughly prepared with Overcoats and Suits for Men ef all sizes and j Boys of all ages. All that remains is fof the people that t trade in Philadelphia to believe what .we say and tome for s our goods. ; Prices are Extremely Low. J Our goods ha^e been well bought, and most of them cannot be replaced at cost prices. Costs, however, have nothing 1 to do with our selling prices. Prices are made in Oak 1 HaH solely with reference to the cost of reproducing the r goods. If we make, it is well, if we lose it is bad; but make or lose,. the buyer has the least possible price. The stock contains, made and making, over io.ooo Over coats; over 200 lines of men's and young men's suits ; over 1 60 lines of suits for large and small boys. The value of this stock was, thirty days since, over One Million Dollars. It is less now, but still very big, and big enough for all who will come. Fresh goods put in stock daily. A special bargain now on our counters is our $12.00 Fancy-back Cassimere Overcoat, which, however, is only one among a great host of interesting things.
