Bingham to Have a Foreign Mission, Despatch to The Chicago Tribune, READY FOR BUSINESS: ‘WasmNGTON, Nov. 27.—The calendar of the order of business of the House was finished to-day, and will be ready for Congress on Mon= day next, which will be the first day of the ses- slon, There are thirteen reports of Commit- tees, that-is, bills reported by Committes, une disposed of, which include the bill of Ar. Kionroe, of Ohio, to provide for the retire- ment of torn and mutilated National Bank notes, and the bill of Mr. Hawley, of Tlinoii. -, to secure the public -lands to actual settlers. On this bill there, was quite a contest, The bill resched @ decisive vote, but befora it was taken, the action was reconsidored, Tt will be the firs business before tho Honse. The bill of Schofleld, of Pennsylvanis, Chair- man of the Naval Committes, to authorize the construction of tenor more Steam vessels of ar, will be among the first considored. There areoighteen bills on_the Bpesker's table, which have been passed by the Scnate, and reported favorsbly by ~the proper Committees of the House. The firat of these is an act to prevent cruelty to animalswhile in transit by railroed or othér mesus of transportation within the United Btates, Soveral others are what are termed pri~ yate bills. The fifth on the list is an act author- izing mail steamship service in the Gulf of Moxico from New Orleans. ‘There are two bills to amend the Enforcement act, which will not be pressed, since_they were intended for effect during tho Presidential elec- tion, and several relating to homesteads. The seventh on the Speaker's tableis an act to au- thorize inquiries into the causes of steam boiler explosions, and the last is to encourage the growth of timber on Western prairics: This is an unusunlly small number of_bills on the Spealker's table for the closing session of & Congress. 'Two years ago thero were geventy, among which there wero so many jobs an schemes for plundoring tho Treasury in steam- ship subsidies, etc., that the Houso refused to go to work on the Speakor's table till nearly the close of the gession, when & single objection, under & epecial rule, carried the bill over. Among tho present bills there is but one sub- sidy job, that of the New Orleans Bteamship Company. Speetal BINGHAM TO GO ABROAD. 1t seems, after all, that John A. Bingham is to have a fnmgn mission. During a visit of Dr. Tibbals and General Young, of Cincinnati, to the President to-day, on the infroduction of Senator Sherman, to urgé a candidato for the vacant Ar- gentino Mission, the President said he corld not appoint the ffinflemm named- to that office, as it had been already tendéred o another gantls- man, and he considered it filled. He added, thet' he did mot think the Ohid spplicant, even if the vacancy still existed, wonl be entitled to a Mission, considerin, the present number from that State. The lnE ditional fact is, that he @é:e President) had de- cided to appoint Judge Bingham to a foreign mission. 1t is supposed that he will be offerod the mission to Italy. TIE POSTAL TELEGRAPE, From prosent indications there will be a hotly- contested fight in Congress during the comin, soasion, betwoen the advocates of the several postal th schemes. The Postmaster General bend every effort to. secure the adoption of his (Froposition, that th Government own the = iines, and that thoy be _under the charge of tho Post Office Department, to be operated by Gov- ernment ofiicials. The subject of postal tele- phy was last winter referred to the House ommittee of Appropriations, and ouciderod &t great length. At the closing hours of the session by a unanimous vote of the Committee, Representative Palmar, of Tows, was directsdto report a bill to the House with the approval of the Committee. No opportunity was then of- fered, and the measure was not made publio. Mr. Palmer still has the bill, and be will present itin the House durin| e first week of the sesslon. It provides that the Postmaster General shall establish telegnph offices as soon a8 practicable at all Post Offices on_telegraphio circuits, and atall Post Offices withinten m?.las of any circuit, the gross receipts of which for postage are not lest than five hundred dollars ; the oftices.to be increased from time to time as required, and all o be divided in classes, socord- ing to importance. The rate at which messages shall"be sent is fixed at one cent & word for emch circuit through which it shall be transmitted, to bé_computed as follows: For distancesnot excesding B0 ‘miles, 250 miles shall be deemed a circuit; for greater distances, 500 miles shall be deemed s circuit; for night despatches, 1,000 miles or less shall be deemed a circuit,—all words to be counted, and no message to be sent for & less sum than 25 cents for each circnit. The messages of Gow ernment officers on official business shall have priority in transmission with- out propsyment, and at _advan- tageous terms. The charges on telegrams shall be prepaid by stamps, except_Government despatches; the stamps fo_bo sold as postage stamps are sold ; the originals and all copies to bo destrosed st the end of & month, unless previously withdrawn by the sender. The mone; order system, by which money may be deposite at one office and drawn at another, is provided for in & similar manner to the rail system now inuse, Section5in the bill fixes the rate for special despatchosto newspaparsatnotto exceed 75 cents for the first hundred words for each cir- cuit of fivo hundred miles, if sentby night, but if sent by day 91.25. When copies of the same despatch are dropped at one or more offices, the rato for each offica shall not exceed 50 cents by night and 75 cents by day; and af the same rato for oach_word in excess. Tho rates for Press Associations shall not exceed these now id. by the Associated or American Press. Bontraita may bo made with any company oper- ating lines of telegraph for the interchange of Qospatches, and with sny company organized for laying and maintsining cables between the United States and foreigncountries. To carrythe 1aw into execution the appointmont of & Fourth Assistant Postmaster Generalis provided for. Bection 7 suthorizes the Postmaster General to contract with the Postal Telegraph Company for the transmission of correspondence by tele~ pph as his agent for ten years, The ompany have the right to construct lines on all post roads, and shall provide lines of telegraph o every postal telograph office established the Postmaster Genoral, tho operatore’ instru- ments, lines and equipment to bo furnished at the expense of the Company. Any person or company transmitting a telogram contrary to the rovisions of this act, for the first_offence shall o fined 9100. The teley in all cases shall be regarded as privileged communications to the extent that letters are now. The rates on mes- sages shall be reduced from time to time, within the discretion of the Postmaster General. The names of about thirly gentlemen sare inserted astho Company, with other stockholders, the body politic under the name of The Postal Tele- graph Company. The copital stock is to be 10,000 shares of the par value of $100. CONCILIATION THE ~ADMINISTRATION'S WATOH- ‘WORD. 1t is given out that. the Liberal Republicans will be gently dealt with in the ensuing session of Congress, provided they have no factious %flniun to offer to the present Administration. is, of course, relates entirely to the House. Spener Blaine has written & lottor to the ef- fect thet concilistion is the watchword of the second term, and that the Republican party had nothing to gain by persecuting recalcitrants. This is understood here to mean that the resig- nations of , Blair, and Farnsworth will not be forced, so far as the Speaker is concerned. ~The Benate, being so ize its committees strongly partisan, will reor, ontirély o £his marrow bagia. As has beon hore- tofore stated, such Liberals a8 Senators Schurz, proceodin Truzibtill, Fenton, Rice, West, and Tipton will have their designations for future labors entirely &t the disposition of the Republican caucus. Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune, THE NEW_YORK TIMES ON ORESWELL. Niw Yorz, Nov. 37.—The Times denoutices Mr. Creswell's projects for setting up the Post Office in the business of telegraphing, and hints that he does not now twell manage the Post Office itself.

WALL STREET. The Recent Corner=-The Erie Suits-s Review of the Money and Produce Markets. Special Despatchto The Chicago Tribune. NEw Yozrg, Nov.27.—The stock market opened very quist. The closing up of the Northwestern corner left the market without a feature. North- western common raled &t S43§@85%, with few transactions, the clique offering to sell for 1 per cent] *“puta” at 85 running thirty days. All or nearly all the speculstive sales of leading stocks, which were uncovered at the time the Northwestern *corner” appeared, have been covered, and the market is now entirely sup- ported by the cliques. There isno demand for speculative stocks, either from outsiders or speculators, to whom the prospect of an active money market, for the remainder of the year is an obstacle to buying for a rse at present. All the cliques, however, are mpnmlp strong and able to wait. After 1 o'clock, the market made s steady ad- vance, Wabash'and Lake Shoro lesding the way, gaining sbout 2 per cent. Pacific Mail was the exception, g 24, The marketin general closed steady. . MONEY. Money during the morning ranged from 7 to 1-32 on call, butin the afternoon, became easy and declined to 8. . The foreign money markets are_working info better condition. Foreign ‘bankers heré are more willing tolend their creds its.

[To the Assoclated Press.} Nzw_Youx, Nov. 97.—Judge Fancher to-day ted & stay of proceedings in the suit of the Railway t Go It comes in the shape of a motion to show canse why the order of reference to take the testimonyof W. T. Travors should not bo Tacated, es improvidently ted, and is made returnable on Fridsy next. fogustus Bcholl mado afidavit In the guit to- sy, which corresponds in detail with that of Horace F. Clark. A The. Boards of Trustees of the Atlantic & Great Western snd Erie Bailrosds held a meeting to-dsy, at the office of M. Bar- low, for the purpose of amiving 8t & setflement of the oustanding claim of the former Compsny sgainst the Erie. The claim_amounts - to upwards® of 81,100,000, inurrod by tho former mansgement of the Erie. Aloasowas ordered to be drawn up, pending the foreclosure, and & committeo was appointed o amicably sdjust the matter and withdraw it from the jurisdiction of the Ohio Courts, where proceedings had been began. In case of the difficulty not been amicably settled, the foreclosure will take effect. Horace F. Clark, in his testimony yesterdsy, before the Bofered concerning the arrest an sgainst_Jay Gould, said that pre- ious to the Boston fire, Smith, Drew, Travers, and_others, were ‘short” of Northwestern st and_they knew Gould was “long” of stock, and after the fire_Smith and his party bought up a 1ot of the stock, thinking that they conld gell at an advantage in case of & pamic. On the 23d of November he was told that Gonld was to ba arrestod; therefore, to avert the which would be likely to follow in the Stock Ex- change, he and Mr. Schell decided to bail Gonld. He judged that the arrest Was & stock-jobbing ‘transaction. President Wateon, of the Erie Railway, does not intend to re-arrest Jsy Gould, buf ssys that additional smits sgainst_him are in proparation. Mr. S. L. M. Barlow, coun- el for the Erie Company, ssys that the euits sgainst Gould will embrace & series of chargas in copnection with the Jofferson Rail- x0d Company, the Glenwood Coal Company, tho Communipaw Stock Yard Company, the Sleep- ing Coach Company, snd other companies of & similar kind ; also s charge in connection with the title of the Grand Opers House. _ Jay Gould said this_afternoon, in referring to Commodore Vanderbilt's card, published yester- dsy, that The Commodore must in his dotage.” ¢ The transaction to which Vander- bilt refers ” said Gould, ** was simply this. In 1868, Vanderbilt _ held 310, 000,000 Erie stock. I offered to take $50,000 shares from him if_he would hold the balance for sixty days and give mos call forit. He sgreed o do so, but broke his promise. He went on selling the stock from dsy to dsy, snd when he had sold all, he delivered all in one day, stiompling fo cresto s panic, uader the im: pression that I would not be able to carry my stock, He failed in his purpose, and feels sore overit. It'sa pity tosee the Commodore fall- ing into dotage.” : order has been granted by the Supreme Court for the examination of 8. M. Barlow in reference to the Jay Gould proceedings. Bates and His Little Flag. &Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune. New Yomx, Nov. 27.—The Manchester Guar- dian, Nov. 1, says that when Bergesnt Bates and his flag arrived in Kendall, all the public men of the town who were not pressingly en- aged attended, and, after repast, speeches were §afivered in which strong sympathy was ex- pressed with Bates and his mission. He was Basured that the good feeling towards America, which he had come to test, did in reality exist, notwithstanding the recent adverse awards un- der the Washington Treaty. He was now carry- ing out his project at_the request of a number of public men in the United States, who held some opinions that he did on the subject in dis- te, 5% Monday morning he resumed his march to Lancaster. Onleaving he was heartily cheered by large czowd of peoplo. His routs brought him into close proximity to' the ancient Hall of Tovens, where he was invited to partaks of the hospitality of the Hall, and eonformed to the time-horored custom of drinking of a descrip- tion of old ale called * Morocco ” out of & large" oblet, standing on one leg and saying * Luck ga Levens a8 long as the Kent flows.” He has 50 far been received with enthusiasm, and has been offered the hospitzlity of some of the lead- ing hotels in the principal towas through which he intends to pass.
