C., Oct. 18.~The President Lfi-dn.y appointed ex-Governor Fairchild, of Wis- consin, to be Consul at Liverpool, the most lucrative office abroad. In the early stages of tho Liboral movement, General Fairchild, like General Logan, was one of the most prominent of the opponente, of General Grant, but lately *he has been con'sinced, and now reaps reward. NEGLEOT OF DUTY. . Judge Edmonds, the Postmaster of this city, +devotes 80 mch of his time to the Grant Com- misgions in fixing assessments, regulating dis- ' bursement's, distribution of documents, superin- tending the = forging of Congressmen’s 'DATeR to the esme, sand other work of the oampsign, that the Post ¥)ffice i8 withont s head, and is running at Jooas ends. To such an extent hashe neglectad 'his d uties, that all the Administration papers in the- city hove cansured him, except the Chronicle, W ose editor has reasons for: maintaining silence. It & mail arrives at 9 o'clock at night, it is not @ jstributed till the next morning, and it fre- ! quently happens that the New York and Western mail is not distributed for several haurs sfter ita arrival. Mails for this city are frequently al- lowed fo pass throngh the office, and go into the Southern mails. BAN DOMINGO AGAIN, Benator Colo, of California, whose term ex- pires with the present Congress, is making himself particularly usefal in the Grant cause, and is taking such a course as will best com- mend him to the personal gratitude of the Presi- dent, who has, it is said, intimated his inten- tian to take caro of Mr. Colein case the Admin- istration is re-elected. The Bebator is now engaged in sn effort to popularize the Banto Domingo echeme. His speech in Sacramento, on that question, and in glorification of General Grant, is being sent broadcast through the coun- try, which is tsken as an indication‘that the President will renew his efforts at annexation. Genoral Babcock recently sdvised a’ friend to invest money in 8an Domingo, as it wonld cer- tainly be annexed. EVASION OF STAMP TAX. A very ingenious plan has been devised, and is now in extensive operation, to evade the law re- quiring revenue stamps on bank checks. The last Internal Revenue act abolished all stamp duties.relating to papers, such as recaipts, otc., except on bank °checks, .which is still in force. To escape the -payment of two cents on each - check many business men have their checks in the form of receipts on which the banks pay the money. The Bureau has been frequently appsaled to by tha bank s, but is powerless to make any.change ar f stop- the practice. i JUDGE DELAEY'S CASE. | ThoJudiciary Goiumittes of thy Houso will it i procased with their investigation of the charges | againut United States Judge Delahy, of Kansas, rof drunkenners, corruption, &c., natil after the ‘November election.

THE APPROPARIATIONS COMMITIEE.™ General Garfield has called a meeting .of the House Appropristions Committes for Nov. 10, when it is expected that all the estimates of the Departments will be in. Thus far none of the Departmeet reparts have beer begun, but it is kmnown that they will all be unusually brief. CHIOAGO MABINE HOSPITAL. ‘The Treasury Department has to say of the recent exposures of corruption in the Chicago Marine Hospital that there is no news in it but considersble ¢ruth. According to Architect Mullet, the atory is a short and simple one, Tho information first came here through a New York firm, who wrote that foreman Ford, in charge of this improvement, had made advances to-them to the effect that if they would pay him'a commission: he could secure them profit- able Government contracts on the buiding un- derbis control. The discharge of this indi- vidual wes at the time immediately ordered, when it transpired that a clerk named Miner hed written the letter to the New York party, and the foreman’s name was signed thereto without Iis knowledge. Up to this time none but the clerk hadibeen implicated, and 8o his peremptory dismissal wes insisted upon. When the next pay-rolls<ame around to the Treasury Department it was found that Miner had not been dismissecl. It wag then shrewdly sus- pected that the offacials in charge of the Hospital dare not discharge Miner, and parties were sent from here to, watch the whole outfit, and report back obeervations«to headquarters, Finally Sup~ erintendents Dickiinson and Ford became fright- ened and discharged Miner. The latter there- apon turns around, implicates his superior, and claims the reward and exemption of aninformer, ‘but the Treasury Department, hes other sources of information than Miner's statements. The facts. on which the United States District Attorney'will present this case to the Grand Jury wiil be about sa follows: When the bids forthe stone work for this building were made, and before the lawful Commission- ers could have in opportunity to examine the ‘bids, Dickinson 'and Ford, in collusion with Me- Keon, Kelly & Co, raised the bid of the latter, which was fhe lowest, to the amount of §9,500, 'which sum was equally divid- ed betweem all of ' these parties. There are otber considerations, but not explicit enough to figare in the Conrts without further testimony. irchitect Mallot has further to say that the real significance of Mr. Parker's visit to Chicago was the fact that the local ringsand cligues were 80 Btrong that it was impossible to make any headway with Government work with- out the intervention of an entside man, and one ‘who was entirely discunnecteg with local schem- ors. ; (COMMISSIONER DOUGLAS' REPORT. . The Commissioner of Internal Revenus states that his forthcoming report will contain no the business public. It will be largely confined to compment on the new system of Internal Bevenue laws, which went into effect in.July 1ast, and comparative tables of the receipts under the same. The receipts of the first guarter of the present year amount to nearly €40,000,000, being largely in excess of the sum anticipated. Both the Finance Committee and Committee of Ways and Means, at the last segsion of Congress, were agreed with the Secre- tary of the Treasury that $105,000,000, realized from these sources, conld meet all the wants of the Government. It is expected, however, that the second quarter will show a considerable fall- ing off from the first, as considerable sums were realized from the ' fag ends of the old law, which "have now become wholly inoperative. From $115,000,000 to $125,000,000 is the estimate of receipts for the present fiscal year, Thero has been a heavy in- crease in the receipts from fermented liquors and tobacco. The distilleries have increased be- yond all precedent. This resultis explained by the abundance of the frnit crop this season. The larger portion of this increase is in the Bouthern States. With regard to the brewing interest, the Department experiences several difficulties. The brewers were not at all friendly to the echeme of regauging barrels, especially those on the Pacific Coast. This gchemo involved the total abolition of the one- third barrels, and where their use waa continned they counted them all of the capacity of one-half barrel. Having taken éuch decisive steps in this matter, however, the Department will leave this interest to obtain such relief as is possible from Congress. The Department estimates that the tax on beer is collected within one-tenth of one per cent what is called for. However, some influence is at workto forceon brewers the use of apatent attachment for cancelling the stamp, which, it is claimed, will cost more than the stamp. It is estimated that the cost of in- troducing this scheme will cost something like $8,000,000. The Revenue Department is not in favor of this improvement, and if necessary will make proper objections to Congress to that effect.” This may be counted on as one of the lobby schemes next winter. The uniform tax imposed on tobacco is found to work boneficially. It was claimed that under the old system the difficalty of classification was such that, in numberless cases, the revenus was not anly defrauded, but that it was found im- possible to collect the legitimate taxes without great expense. The new tax hasbeen found to work go well that no recommendations will be made upon this subject at all. ) THE COLOBED CADET. All the Government Departments have put themselves to the trouble of denying the truth of the alleged maltreatment of Conyers, the ne- gro Cadet at Annapolis. While the contradic- tions have been flashing over this country, the Cadets put in last night and gave Conyers another thrashing. FORNEY'S PRESS. | The rumor with regard to the sale of Forney's Press means simply this: One-half interestin the Weekly Presshas beeneold tos partyin Philadelphis, the other half remaining with Col- onel Forney.

Special Despateh to The Chicago Tribune. BTOCES. - New Yong, Oct. 18.—The featurs of the ‘stock miarket to-day was epeculation for & rise. The temper of the market was bullish throngh- out the day, with one or two slight reactions. Late in the afternoon, the bull speculation took - very decided shupe in & fow shares, and s ‘sharp advance was. anade, Pacific Mail led the: market, and rose rapidly from 855 to 953, arise 0f 9% per cent. In the latest déalings, Pacific’ -Mail absorbed the speculative interest. Western Union advanced from 763 to 78% ; Lake Shoro from 91 to. 925, Erie from 49% to 51, Rock ‘Island from 1103 to 111%{, Northwestern from 723 t0 783§ ; other fluctnations were 3¢ o 34 per cent. The market became weak .just before closing, and prices dropped. off from 3¢to13¢ per cent. Pacific Mail declined from 96 to 95, Ohios {rom 46 to 45, Western Union from 78} to 7634, Rock Island fell from 1113{ to 1103, and Ugion* Pacific from 40} to 3834. .. THE MONEY MAREET easy, but unchanged; from 1 to 3 per cent on call, with latest dealings at 4 to 5. Primé busi- ness notes pass at 12 per cent, with exceptians at9. The Post’s money article of this evening says: “Ttis trao that the reissue of $44,000,000 legal tonders would assist in floating a 4 or 43¢ per cent Treasury bond; but the impression has ‘been that at least a part of these bonds were to be put into the National Banks in place of their 520 bonds. It is also true that such an issue of legal tenders would carry the gold premium to near war prices, and would defer indefinitely the day of specie resumption. It should be the first duty of General Grants new Administration to address itself to restoring our currency to a sound conditon, which, once obtained, our credit would improve #he world over more rapidly than if a half bonded debt of the Government, not yet due, was bought up in a single year. The fluctuations in our currency now cost the business community and people more every year-than the smount of bonds retired. We cannot belfeve ‘that the reported movement in Philadelphia will receive tho approval of the best men thers, and do not for s moment believe that if such recommendations were sent from ewery city in the country, that General Grant’s Administra- tion would be so blind to its own reputation as to adopt them."” FOREIGN EXOHANGE heavy and lower, closing at 10834 to 1083jfor sixty days, and 1083 for sight. aoLp heavy, and declined from 1183 to 1125.

Paul delegations for leave to withdraw.- Leave 'waa granted, conditioned on paying assessments. Resolutions were adopted requesting the New Orleans Chamber of Commerce to fix a satisfac- tory tare on Louisians sngar. ' Mr. Taylor, of Cincinnati, addressed the Board, favoring a lib- eral troaty with Canads, on terms advantageous to both. ~The condition should be the. ge- ‘ment of their canels by the Canadians,to faciltate the rtation of grain from the Northwest. 'Dalm from Clgrl!d.‘: say that their peo- le are ready to make large concessions. ‘The ‘St. Albans and other raids put us in bad humor, and we revoked the treaty with Canada, hut we made & commercial mistake. We want cheap coke for New Englflnfl, and cheap lumber for i Dlinois farmers.” Mr. Ames, of Oswego, fa- | vored reciprocity. Mr, Sargent, of New Haven, moved an amendment to the resolution reported | by the Conference Committes, recommending ‘reciprocity as far as posaible, on 4 basis of fres trade, but omitting the clause making the en- largement of the Welland Canal compulsory on Canada. He 8sid the Canadians would thus re- ceive New England manufactures aud send back -cheap lumber to build cheap homes for New England workmen. . Young, of Canads, wished it understood that the progress of Canads was not dependent on_reciprocity, though they favored it, -and, being:an Englishi colony, conld not admit manu- factures from this country free with differential t England. -~ - " Mr. ke was in favor of reciprocity. a5 far 28 possible under the ci ces, ini the hoj of:nltimately arriving st free trade, but he o jected tq one part of the resolution recommend- “ed e Committee, viz., that our Government should regg.ire the enlargement of- the Canadian canals. The effect would be that the Board, after refusing to ask for an sppropriation for the enlargement of the Erie Canal, propose fo recommend action on the part of our Govern- ment which would divert a portion of the west- erm traffic from our seaboard - and aid the cbm- merce of our neighbor, to the deiriment of & portion of our commerce. - 3 Mr. Fairbank, of Chicago, in 'mpl%h Mr. Op- dyke, said they refused to ask the Federal Gov- ornment for an sppropristion for the Erie Ca- nal, and they do notask the British Government to enilarge Canadian cansls. ~They lésvelt tothe State Government in each case. ~New York, for thirteen years, neglected snlarging her catals, snd giving the West the facilitied it wanted. It is now proposed, as New Yorl blocks the way, to _ask Canada to give them an outlet, enlarged ca- nals, and free navigation. The resolution, as it came from the. Commit- te;hwns then adopted. .
