At the Itilliurd Cnngross of 18f3, composed of all the ili'st-chiHs plnvers of America, it was uimiiimnnaly resolved that tallies of our manufacture should bo used at all mutches for the Championship, as the best and only reliable tables. These llilliard Tables have received the unqunlill d approvul of the bust players and most competent judg es, who have universally pi-onnnuced them iiuequuled fur general excellence and durability. Seven distinct patents for improvements In llilliard Tallies have been granted to us by the United States Patent Olllco, and we have lately obtained a patent from the French Government, for our improvements in llilliard (.'iiihions. Wo employ, in the construction of our tables, a variety of machines specially made for the purpose, by means of which we are enabled to insure a scieu title and mechanical accuracy hitherto unknown, in llillinril nmuofiicture. Having a long experience and thorough knowledge of all the appliances ol uilliurus, aim constantly on hand a largo stork of the best and most thoroughly wutii!tl tunti-rinls. we are prepared to furnish every thing required in tho Itilliurd line with unprecedented dispatch. The eminent llilliard Player, M. Berger, lias pub lished the following opinion : "New York, 2d August, 18 1. "(In the eve, of leaving tlie United States, 1 am hap' py to declare to all imateurs of llilliards that, after a tour of eleven months through the pricipu! cities, I have been enabled to judge in a satisfactory maimer of the superiority or the llilliaril tables niuiiiituriureu bv Phelun Sl Cullender.

The following delmto was crowded ont nf the report of this afternoon's proceedings, published last week : Mr. llncuo renewed the motion, withdrawn by Mr. Wnkefield, to amend H. R. to repeal the not requiring taxes to be paid in onin, by striking out the words " any lnvfnl money" and Insert " gold or silver coin, the effect of which is to mako taxes parable in coin, as now provided try aw. Mr. Uillottn said lie was in favor of the amendment, though he had been and still was in favor of adopting tho national ourronoy. He tvoreil It, because H the taxes are paid, under the existing circumstances, in green backs, tho fees and salaries of publio officers would ho altogether inadequate.' The State had adnpted a onin currency, and this hill, if passed without tint or similar amendment, would confuse tho publio business nf the coun try. The State would havo a currency basis partly one thing and partly another. The busi ness men would have a coin currency, while the nflioers of the State would havo it green back currency. He thought our currenoy ought to be either one thing or the other, lie had always been known as a greenhaok mini when there was any sense in it. lint he could not see the senso of having a specifio contract law on our statute books, nnd also a law Unit pro vides lor pnying tlio taxes nnd publio salaries in greenbacks. Mr. Thornton said tho remarks of the gentle man from Clatsop would he appropriate, if the question under discussion were to raise or re duce the salaries of publio offioers. The'renl question is, " Shall we plnoe ourselves in har mony with the laws of tho nation 1 Mr. Wnkeheld said he was opposed to the bill from the first ; but to render it less nhjeo tionable, he had offered an amendment to mako taxes payable in gold or silver onin. If wo pass this bill, nnd make them parable in green backs, it would bo an net nf injustice to the officers ot the State and onuutics. Their sala ries are fixod, nnd oannot be readily changed. Those salaries were made when wo had nothing, hut ooin in circulation, and they have been found to be ineu (lioicnt oven when paid in coin. Many ol the state ollicers are nut alilo to livo upon their salaries. If tho amendment is not adopted, it would he equivalent to reducing those salaries, which, he repented, were alrea dy too low. Mr. liowlby said lie was surprised at the efforts made by some gentlemen in relation to this bill, some of whom had quite reversed their Kositions ot lato. Ho was opposed to the bill, ecnuse it would unjustly reduce tho salaries of State ollicers. Their pay had been fixed by the Constitution, and we cannot change them without a considerable lapse of time. Com petent and capable men cannot afford to dis charge publio duties on less pay than now pro vided. I lie ellect or the bill ns introduced would bo to keep oat of all our publio offices capable men. No competent man would take an office upon which he must starve. Reduce tho salaries as tins bill would do, and none but incompetent men would take tho places now occupied by our Stnto officers nnd judges. The ettect wnnhi De to discraoe ns it would be a curse nnd disgrace to the Stnto. , ' Uentlcmeu had referred to the inconsistency of supporting a specifio contract law nnd pro fessing at the same time to bo layal and devoted to to the Government. Ho would say, once for all, that he was tired of the insinuations of hose gentlemen. lie would put bis hirnltr to the test of comparison with that of any of those gentlemen who were continually howling about repudiation, and Uic disloyalty and all that ot the advocates of tho sp'ccifio contract law. He thought it quite as likely that the loyalty of these latter was quite as genuine as Hint of those who make so much noise about loyalty, but seem to have no objections to borrowing school funds in coin and repaying in green backs. Mr. Ji. complained nt the ooutso of sonio gentlemen who made long speeches on trivial subjects, oonsnming much valuable tuno and retarding legislation. Mr. Fay said be bad nothing to do with the nice lit tle quarrel getting up among these gentlemen. If they choose to light among themselves, he couldn't object. 1 ho gentleman from V nshiiifrton had made quite as muny speecnes as anybody else iu this house, aud about as many ton? ones: He was not exactly the man to complain. Hut as regards this bill, State otli ccrs'hud no rightful claim to be paid ia coin, while the peoplu are subjeeted by Inw to payment in a depre ciated currency. When the bill to tux U- S. bonds was up. the gentleman had saiil the bill was in opposition to the government, ns discouraging the circulation of of its money. Now, when this bill comes up, which legalizes the use of the government currency, which congress hud made legal for all public dues in pnyment of taxes, the gentlemen are opposed to it. 't he amend meiil comes up, which minces the luxes payable only in coin, thus aiscouraL'itig the circulation of h-gul ten der currency, and operates in exclude it, Iheso gentle- ;.. i !. . .1...: i ...... , , i r- .1.- men iin, in mviir iu it. luuniit-o unit no Toteu lor tue hill lust session, but had been converted: Ho thought when gentlemen tulked about lovally.the best proof of loyally was lo stand up to thu government square- toen hii i tie timu. Air. ttowlbv denied the existence of snv luw of Con gress uiakiug all taxes payable in legal teoder cur rency. Mr. Underwood voted Inst session for the hill making taxes payable in coiu, but ho was satisfied that not live men m l.ano county were in favor of it. He considered himself clearly instructed against the Jaw, and it wes his duty to atrrv ont the will nf his constituents. He should fool it Ins duty to assist in the reieal of the law, and let the question go back lo the people, who would send up linre. next rogulur ses sion, members fully and clearly instructed on the ques- 1011. Mr. Ilogne said the salaries now provided for the circuit judges were quite instiltluielit to pay the neces- n.,, i A,.iMjn i utmir. nt leiut it was so in ins jiiui ciul diidriet. If this bill bepnsseil.it will operate as a reduction, and no capable business man would or could take those iniiortaut nfliccs. We should be re duced to the necessity of going without judges, or of having very incompetent ones. Our business is all eftublished upon a coin basis, and the sun-ess of this bill without the amendment would result in a disas trous revolution of business. The dincuduieut was defeated. Mr. Underwood moved an amendment that nothing In tbe bill should be construed to atlertthe collection in gold of taxes already levied. Mr. Fay moved to amend the amendment so as to amke salaries of judges this year payable in coin, which was defeated. The amendment was then adopted ayes P-l, noes 15 Tbe'bill was ordered engrossed.

Mr. Huvey. from, thu joint coiuinilleo ap pointed to investigate the cause of delay in printing, reported Hint the committee lind ex ntnined all the testimony in the unse, anil had onme lo thu conclusion that " the Stnto Printer has acted in good faith toward the State; that a remarkable cataloirue nf unfnrseeii and an pnrenlly unavoidable accidents ho,ve intervened to prevent him from obtaining the paper upon which Iu print tho work. Your committee are convinced that the work has not been inten linnnlly delayed from any motive of specula lion or persminl guin on the part nf Mr. Pit- tuck." The report goes nn to ray that the code was not de-hived by the code ooiiinussinii er ; that the uncertainty uf the law as In pay ment hy tho Stato for tho puper used in the work was one cause nf drlnv. Then follows a statemeiit iu relation to Mr. Pittack's efforts t procure paper, and his disappointments oonio qoetfl upon Ihe refusal of the .Secretary of Slum to pay any part before the completion of the whole work. The committee recommends that the State should pay fur the paper as it inny be used in the work.
