T, HaMILTON, Cr10AGO, Nov. 80, 1672, BECURITY AGAINST ANOTHER CONFLAGRATION. T the Editor of The Chicago Triotne : Sm: Although besuty in architecture is en impor- tant coneideration, every man of common sense now reclizes {bab the publicsefety, in all our structures, &bould be the puramonnt idea. No man has a right t0 ‘erect an edific, howver beautiful, which endangers o property of his neighbors, Upon this point ther ehouid be no dis fent, ¥ i If the great fires that have taken placo have taught us nothing else, they heve, orehould surely hava taught ustbis: that safety is the foundation upon which we should build, Safety ehould bo the founda- tion, the superstructure, and the roof of =l our Luildings, Anything short of this cannot afford satis- faction or sdequate govurity. It matiers notif every architect in tho city should express an_opinion that wooden Ma and tarred raofs were safe, this would nobmake them o, nor would it convince auy man of ordinary penetration that they were 80, Look 3t the ‘ Reaper building,” on the northenst corner of Clark and Washington streeis. Does any €ane noan consider that a safe building? Only one opin- ion hus been expresced regarding it, and that is, that it is one Of the most threatening and dangerous uild ings that have ever been exected in this city, and time «@ay Erove it 0, No man ehould havo aright to put up within the Limits of this city a building of such a character. Should that elevated wooden Mansard roof take fire on a windy night, nothing ehort of Fourth of July pyrotechnics would make s fner blaze. Every ‘building in its vicinity would be in peril, and the city itself would be in danger. Tho real French Muneard roofs are, for the most ‘part, constructed of iron snd cement, snd are compar- stively incombustible, But the Reaper™ roof is al- togethier of wood,—thin pine scantlings,—a perfcct forest of them, to be converted into ten thousand fire- brande, to bo scattered over the,adjoining x00f8 Whea- ever the fire-fiend so wills it. Is it to ba supposed that our weak and ineficlent Fire Department could do avything to stop a fire well started in 50 conspicuous a position?_I say weak and inefficient, weighing carefully the import ef thrse ‘words, end wisling 0 cast no unjust reflections upon brave men or thoir commanders, Our Fire Depart- ment is utterly inedequate to cope with a fire that, by unfavorable circumstances, or by accident, Las ob- tained any considerable impetus. A few weeks ogo, the stables of the West Side Omni- bus Company wero burned. Hsd it mot been for & fortunste change of wind, the co tion thus start. ed would undoubtedly have got beyond the most en- ~e=uc czorts of our present feeble Fire Department, snd a large portion of the city would certamly Lave et The. i bt agat ot o0 we awake from our wpathy? The time has come when we must Tely upon ourseives, We cannot aguin rely upon the crippled Insurance Companies of the country, Another great fire may crush them all.

We must put this city o i of tha b gilant Let us have one of the strongest and most vigilant Fire Departments in the world, Let us have twice a8 many engines, and twice 83 many horses snd men, ‘What eignifies the paltry cost compared with tbe unie versal sense of security that would then prevail, sectir~ Ity that can be obtained in no other way 2 We need s thorough fire ordinance, holding men under it to the scernest accountability, The safety of this oty should not be entrusted to unrelisbls and incompetent men. e want not only sober and brave men, but men whose heads are not easily tarned,—men who know how 0 be calm and eflicient in the midst of jer. ‘The men who compose the Fire Department should be trustworthy in_every respect, They should be un- der the severeat discipline,—not 3 “raw militia,” but trained, regular troops, ready for sction at any mo- ment, by night_or day.” Such men can be obiained, sad they should be liberally psid. Let mo pennys ey pound-foolish » rulo be adopied. Truo econony will be found to coneist in large pay, for good pay only can gecure the services of the best men. And, if there is any class who onght to be well paid, it surely is that of our firemen, who courageously dischisrgstlio duties of their E:ds‘ifion. i ‘o need, moreover, a large increase of our policy and particalarly of night wetchmen, Experisnce has tanght us that * An ounce of prevention 1a better than = pound of cure.” This city may be burned any night, wiile-wa ore aleeping in fancied socurity.

It is tha duty of our authorities, therefore, beyond every other conc eideration, to profect this city from the possibility of snoer tefrible fire, "0 secure such result, o money should be spared, Parsimony ia not econofay.

Review of the Money, Gold, ‘Bond, Stock, and Produce Markets. Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune. New Yors, Nov. 80:—During the past week the money markot was stringent, and call loanswere made a8 high 88 X per cent per diem, but later there was & relaxation, and before the close money was accessible on cell at the legal rates with exceptional loans lower. The discim . market worked closo during the gteater the week at 12 per cent for prime paper, but =t the close an easier fecling prevailed, and there was more currency for business notes at 10 to 12 per cent. The bank statement is favorable, asis also coneidered the news that Secretary Boutwell has contracted two millions of the mew issue of legal _tenders. The increase in legal tenders here isdue to receipts from Boston and Chicago, though cur- rency is still flowing to tho southiwest. Gold has been generally wealk, with a_decline from 1153/ to 1123¢, closing with a steadier feel- ing at 1125, The decline has induced a better mercantile demand for foreign exchange, which mt turn hag prevented any marked decline in rates. There has been a better demand for investment securities, and both Government bonds and rail- mortgages have advanced. _ Since Tuesday the market has stead- ily odvanced, ‘and prices to-day, genmer- ally, were the highest of the week. The advance as compared with the quotations cwrrent this day week range from 1 to 8 per cent. The greatest advance was in Wells & Fargo Express from 80 to 88. The improve- ment otherwise was most marked in Lake Shore, Wabesh, Union Pacific, New York Central, Rock Island, Ohios, aud Western Union. Pacific Mail was & marked exception to the general firmness, and declined from 9134 to 8434. The later de: ings of the week were noted chiefly for activity and bncgfincy in the so-called Vanderbilt shares —Lake Shore, New York Central, Union Pacific, Ohios, and Western Union. The Northwestern corner frightened many “bears” and induced ‘'a number to turn “bulls,” with & view to retrieve their for- tunes. The foreign commerce of the port for the week was a8 follows: General merchandise im- ports, including dry goods, 86,253,692 produce exports, $5,799,772; specie exports, $470,171. ‘The total merchandise imports since January are six millions in_advance of last year, while tho exports of produce and specie stand almost | the same as last year. MONEY. The money market to-day was more active, with call loans sharp at 7 per cent currency to 7 per cent gold, FOREIGN EXCHANGE was quiet and steady. Gold dull and firm. Gov- ernment bonds opened with slight decline, but closed firmer. STOCES. " The present depression in Pacific Mail is said to be the work of Jay Gould, who wants to com-~ gel Henry N. Smith to sell.ont 50,000 shares he 0lds on margins. The ‘““pool”in Lake Shore is reported to be identical ‘with that in North- ‘western. PRODUCE. Flour stronger but quiet; holders firmer. Wheat advanced, owing to the cold weather. Spring closed better and in demand ; winter in fair inquiry. Pork quiet and prices unsettled ; for futnre delivery, quoted at $14.00 for Decem- her for new or old mess. Cut meats rather quiet on the spot. Sales: 500 smoked shoulders at Ge. Bacon quiet at about 7i¢c for long clear on the epot, and 7¢c for short clear for wintor months ; 100 boxes short clear for December gold at 7){c. Lard rather firmer. SPORTING. ¥all Meeting at New Orleans. NEw ORLEANS, Nov. 30.—The fall meoting of the Louisiana Jockey Club commenced to-day. The track was in good condition, but the at- tendance was very small, owing to the limited means of conveyance, Only half a dozen pri- vate tesms were out. Neatly all the horses in the city are laid up with the malady. First race—Hurdle race, two miles, clubpurso, §600, was one by Village Blackemith, beating Blind Tom and Belhams. - Time, 4:03. Belhama fell at the sixth hurdle. Tom led to the home stretch, where ho was overhauled by Dlacksmith. Blind Tom was favorite against the field. Second race—Sweepstakes, two-year olds earrying three-year olds weights; $50 entrance ; private purse of £700 added; one mile; 10 entries; 6 started; won by Cot- trill's Ballie Watson beating Vandali: Edwin Adams, Sunrise, Sallio” Keller, an Bounebal's ch g, in the same order. Timo, 1:47%. At the start, Sallie Watson took the lead, the others well bunched, except Vanda- lis, which was eeveral lmtha behind from the first quarter. She gradually went to the front, and was only beaten half & neck. e]q;hogd race—2 mile heats; all ages; club purse, £1,200. Nick Baker, 3 In the first heat, Sir Rufus refused to go; Nick Baker led to the home strotch, Annio Bush second, when Hollywood and Frogtown came to the front, Hollywood winning by & neck, Annie Bush a good third. Second heat—Frogtown led, Annie second, Hollywood trailing until entering the home stretch, when Hollywood took the lead, winning by half aneck. Time, 8:383¢ ; 3:404. On Tuesday, the second day's races. The meeiing will continue daring the week. THE LOST MISSOURL Statement of Another Survivor of the Crew. NEw Yorg, Nov. 30.—David North, of Ron- dout, N. Y., one of the four remaining survivors of tho Miesouri, who have arrived here, narrates & very harrowing story.

Thoy wera without food for many dsys. A boiler man, Merk Anthony, went crazy tho first day. Wil lam Sterr, the barber, afterwards died, and Shea, the porter, jumped overboard.

Increased Opposition to Civil Service Reform. Tho Congressional Printing Office. Bpecial Despatch to The Chicago Tribune. GOVERNMENT PRINTING. WasHINGTON, Nov. 30.—The report of the Congressional Printer was finished to-day, and will be sént to Congress on Monday. -It containg much interesting matter in regerd to the Gov- ernment printing. The entire cost of the office for the year was $1,802,343, which is largely in excess of any previous year far the past ten, ex- cept the year.1865, which was $2,227,099, the large sum being attributable to causes relating to the war, apparent to the reader. Of all ex- ecutive and miscellaneous documents and re- ports, thero are printed the usual number, 1,625 copies for the Senate and 1,650 for the House, and also 825 copies of bills and resolutions for the Senate and House each. - The aggregatecost of the paper used in the office for the year was £498,989. The amount pmid for lithographing and engraving for Congressional documents was $42,257, and the cost of maps for tho Supreme Court was 81,331, The public binding alone cost £541,663. As previously stated, the ordors mado by Congress and executed in the Government ofiice for Congrossional printing and binding, during the past year, ending Sept. 30, amount o $893,189.97. The year preceding was 2679,819 for the same class of work. This shows an increase during the last year over its predscessor within a fraction of 25 per cent. e ofiice has completed during the past year 119,284 " pages of document- ary composition, and 7,869,000 volumes of that class of work, many of which oxceed 1,000 pages each, on the subject of Pat- ent Office Reports; which, with their costly en- gravings, were 80 _expensive a publication, and 80 lightly regarded by the public. The rcport eays: “The law of Jan, 11, 1871, abolishing the publication of the Annual Mechanical Leport, with illustrations, has rednced this cxpense ve considerably. As s measure of economy,” it ap* ears to be & success. The specificatione and {llustrations, which are designed for use as evidence in the Courts, are now bound and issued monthly, instead of weekly, ns here- tofore, which is quite s gaving in resswork and binding. The present number 1ssued is chiefly confined to providing the clorks’ offices of the United States Courts with volumes tobeused in evidence. The expensd of print- ing these is provided for in the annual estimates for appropristions, but should an increase of this number be called for and ordered, it will ba an act of Justice to the funds of this office that all copies held for sale should be eold by this office, and the funds realized thercfrom should be placed to the credit of its printing and bind- ing funds, to reimburse an expenso not provided for in its regular estimates for appropriations. The printing oflico building, owing to the im- ‘monso Increase of work, is found o bo too amall for the purpose, notwithstanding that a wing costing $40.000 waa finished & year ago.” Mr. Clapp aska for an appropriation to erect another wing which, he €ays, is urgently do- manded. The printing of the Scecretary of the Treasury’s report on commerce and navigation cost 210,915, and other Department reportsabout the same.

He further says : “By the mct of June 6, 1873, the fees of Gauugers, and the per diem compensation of storekeepera were made payable by the Tnited States, without reimbursement by dis- tillers, except by the increased rate of fax on distilled epirits, this increased rate having been @etermined parily by taking into account the amount heretofore paid for the services of such officers. But experience has already demon- strated that the amount to be paid will be not only greater, notwithstanding my most strenuous efforts to the contrary, than ever before, but also greater in proportion -to the quantity of spirits produced. It "is apparent that the retention of _epirits in the warehonse after the distiller has censed operations extends the time for the pay- ment of tax due, and is, therefore, for his ben- efit only. In view of this and the foregoing statement X would recommend thet, when a dis- tiller bas ceased operations, the pay of the store- keeper for subsequent services at his distillery warehouse, in consequence of spirits mmmfi therein, shall be reimbursed to the Unite States by the distillor.” By the act of June 6, 1872, tho act of July 13, 1866, 80 far as it relates to fermented liquors, was re-enacted with some amendments made 8t the solicitation ~of the rincipal brewers of the United SBtates, Eesigncd to afford brewera better facilities than herefofore for the conduct of their business under the Internal Revenue laws. These con- cessions do not appear to have been of a character to endanger the public interests, a8 ‘the following statement show: * The tax Teceived on fermented liquors, at $1 per barrel, during the firsb quarter of the fiscal year ¢pding June 80, 1873, was §2,217,101, while the receipts from the same source during the first threomonths of the present fiscal year amonnt to $2,684,241, an increase of $466,949. The average incroase of about & million dollars annually during the last three fiscal years, ns contrasted with the stationary character of the receipts during the {our years next preceding, i8 certainly gratify- ing, ‘but the increase during the first thrce months of the present fiscal year,as sbove corresponding stated, far exceeds that of =y PGHO_J in any other year since the orgenization of this office. The tax received on fermented Iiquors at S1 per barrel was for the years 1867, The number of “pemnna engaged in the manu- facture of fermented liquors during the fiscal year ending June 80, 1872, was 5,421, distributed 28 follows = 5| iasissippi . 0 Biseouri.

Weat Virginia, . 17 Minneasota 114{Wisconsin L2203 *I would recommend that Sections 18 and 22 be so amended as to provide for packages known as thirds. The act of March 2, 1872, suthorized their use to accommodate brewers west of the Rocky Mountains, who are compelled to send their products from the breweries to the con- sumer or retailer on the backs of mules, this enid package being specielly adspted to such mode of conyeyanee. Thirds appest to have been omitted in'the act of June 6, 1872, throngh inadvertance, and they should bo restored. *Tho amendments made by the act of June 6, 1872, to Section 59 of the act of July 30, 1868, rs amended Afi:fl 10, 1869, relating to the special taxes for selling spirituous and malt liquors and wines were, it has appeared to me, intended sim- ply to provide that, in addition to the former clasees of liquor dealers, there ghould be two classes, ot & lower special tax, authorized to sell malt liquors only, leaving to tho former clasges of liquor dealers tle privilege of selling malt liquors, which they proviously pos- gessed, also leaving unchangad the exemption from special tax o8 wholeselo dealers, extended to brewers, who sold fermented liquors of their own production, ot the brewery, in the original packages. Nevertheless, that intention is notso clearly oxpressed by the language of the section as amended as is desirable in 8o important & pro- vigion of law. To prevent the injustice which might be done by acting upon & more technicap construction of the languagoe used as to the eeveral classes of liquor dealers and malt Tiquor dealers, I issued, on the 30th of Septem- ber last, instructions to Assessors and Collectors, in accordance with the above expressed view of the intentions of Cougress, until I could bring the subject to tho attention of that body; and I also suspended the collection of all assessments which had been made contrary to that construc- tion. In view of this, I would respectfully rec~ ommend that the language of the sec- tion be made moro explicit. I would also recommend that retail dealers in ‘melt liquors be limited in their sales to quanti- ties less than five gallons, and that those sclling in quantities of ive gallons and npwards be ro- quired to pay the wholesalo dealer's tax. The total receipts from tobacco for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1872, wore §33,736,170, showing an increase over the previous year of £157,268. The Commissioner suys that, so far os ho is able to judge, tho law pro- viding for a uniform rato of tax on all manufactured tobacco, whether chew- ing or smoking, is operating very satisfactorily. Tliere is mow no reason why revenue officers should examine into the modes of manufactur- ing tobacco employed by any one, or for opening or examining any package, to ascertain the char- acter of its contouts. If tho package is a legal one, and hias upon it & proper reveunuo stamp, denoting the payment of the tex, with such ad- ditional marks, and brands, and labels as the law prescribes, no officer is authorized to exam- ineit farther. Owing to the disturbing causes which have affected tho trade for some months past, it is novw too early to predict with entire certainty what will be the actual result of the present uniform tax on the amount of revenue to be collected. He has reason to believe that, “with the additional safeguards provided by the new law against the sale of manafactured "tobacco in fraud of the rovenue, and with the taxes imposed upon the eale at retail of raw or leaf tobscco for consumption without its being subjected to sny process of manufacture, collections from tobacco, under the uniform rate of twenty cents a pound (which is a reduction of moro than six conts & pound from the average rate for the last two fiscal years), will reach nearly, if not quito, tho sums realized for either of the same_yoears : “In making this_estimato am relylng upon making collections of from 5,000,000 to 10,000,000 of pounds more of mannfactured tobacco in consaquence of the restrictions which *he act of June 6, 1872, has iacod upon the sale for consumption of raw or feaf tobacco. By tbe act of June 6,1872, the system of export bonded warehouses, suthorized by the act of July 20, 1868, was_abolished, and the soveral warehouses established under said act are to be discontinued after theexpiration of six months from the passage of the first-named act. As the average quantity of tobacco ‘withdrawn for export and consumption for the fiscal year ending June 80, 1871, and June S0, 1872, rospectively, exceedod twenty millions of pounds, it was thought st the timo of the passago of the law that six months would bo ample time for the holders of tobaeco then in bond (which was considerably less than eight millions of pounds, but increased after the pas- sage of the nct to the quantity given sbove, as the balance on the 1st day of July), oither to withdraw the same for export, or for sale and consumption, apon the payment of the tax. The reports received from month to month, from the Collectors in charge of bonded warehouses, show thet this quantity has been constantly diminishing, so that” no great hardship will be imposed mpon the owners of this tobacco by requiring them to stamps and withdraw the comparatively small quantity remaining in the warchouses at the expiration of the six months which the law allows for closing them. But this view of the case is especinlly apparent when the factis takon into consideration that the owners of this tobacco have already had six months’ credit for the taxes due on allof it, and on & considerable portion a much longer time; and also the further fact that these tobaccos, after having been stamped, can at any time be exported, =2nd the owners obtain & drawback for the amount of tax which shall be shown to have been paid on them. - “The act of June 6, 1872, provides two modes for the exportation of manufactured tobacco to foreignicountries: Firat, directly from the man- ufacturer, without the payment of any tax, and second, the payment from the store or ware- .| house of the jobber, denler, or commission mer- chant after the tax has been paid, with an allow- ance of drawback on _the presentation of the proper evidence that the tobacco has been exported and landed in a foreign country or lost atBea. The fow months that have intervened since the adoption of the new system have by no means afforded sufficient opportunity to test its racticability. Thus far the two systems' have goih been in operation. At the same time the tobacco stored in warehouse is being exported under the regulations in force at the time when lhe late act was passed, while direct exporta- tions from the manufactories have been made under the new regulations. The two systems operating concurrently have not tended to har- mony. f have seen nothing, however, as yet which leads me to distrust the practicability and tho complete success of the provisions made by the act of June6, 2372, for facilitating the ex- portation of tobacco to foreign countries, Any Tadical change in the law and regulations touch- ing & business so varied and extensive as s the tobacco trade requires time for persons engaged in it to accustom them- selves to the alteration. For this reason such changes should bo 28 infrequent as_possible, and only made upon urgent necessity. That such & necessity existed for abolishing the old eystem of bonded warehouses of ports of entry which allowed tobacco to be stored therein for home consumption as woll as for export, and to be withdrawn therefrom at any time upon the ayment of the tax, few persons, escept those who enjoyed the privileges of such ware- houses have expresscg & doubt. TUnder the present law tho credit system is entirely dis- pensed with, and no special privileges are given for making & monopoly of trade in manufactured tobacco. All tobacco is required to have proper stamps affized, indicating the payment of the tax, before it is removed from tho place where it is made, except that which is intended for and actuslly bonded for export to & foreign country before leaving the mauufactory. This system, | it is belioved. will greatly widen the field for ex- portation, since it provides for direct shipments from any districtin the country, the mgnnlno- furer filling his bonds and_completing his ship- ping papers in his own district. It provides, also, for the payment of the fax on seid tobaced by eny person who desires to oxport, giving him an_sllowance of drawback for the fax paid, privilego_which was not allowed under the provious law. Pereons having in their posscs- sion tax-paid tobacco, however badly damaged and_unsalsble, oven to such & dogroe as to render it worthless for sale or consumption, can, by exporting thesame, always realize there- from an amount equal to tho tax. With regard to the consolidation of dis- tricts, the Commissioner has tho follow- ing to ssy: The act of June, 1872, re- qured the reduction of the internal rev- enue dstricts in tho United States to not exceeding eighty in number, by uniting two or more distrizts into one, and also the reduc- tion of the minor officers in the service toas small & numberas would be consistent with their limited duties. Immodiately upon the passage of this act, o general inquiry for information was made with & view to & prompt compliance with the law. This inquiry early e the opinion of the leading officers in the service, whose positions ren- dored them important in the matter, that to consolidate at once would largely inter- fere, to the loss of the Government, with the. collection of taxes from sssessments under re- ealed laws, than in the hands of Collectors. ese collections could only be made with des- patch and_certainty by those acquainted with the special localities and the circumstances of tax-payers.. To avoid & much greater loss by the untimely disturbance than could possibly be compensated by the consequent_reduced expen- diture, temporary delay was universally advised and fnally dotermined upon. The interim +was used in pushing to a rapid close the collec- tion of the balances. The result has justified the propriety of the delay. It was eatimated that by the end of June, 1872, this whole amount of internal revenue, exclusive of the balances under repealed laws, would be about $110,000,000 per annum, while the actual receipts for the first ‘quarter of the current fiscal year were at the rate of £125,400,000, showing several millions of dollars in 'excess of the estimated receipts, and this very considerably from taxes due under the repealed laws. Tohave violently taken the lists containing the evidences of taxa- tion outof thehandsof three outof four of these Collectors, and committed themto the care of the Temaining one, would have intro- duced a dangerous delay in the receipts, and would probably have caused a large loss at Iast. “ The collections have been large, and reflects great credit upon the officers, The act of June 6 reduced the duties of Assessors and Assistant Assessors 8o a8 to bave but three things which could not be done with equal propriety by the Collectors and their deputies, the two classes of officers re- maining both numerous and expensive, for & work that one class could as well do. The three duties referred to are the assessment of the de- ficiency taxes on distillers, an unexceptionsl tax, only oceasionally due, and'tho data for assessing which is always at hand from daily reports in this office. The majority of such as- sessments being reviewed and readjusted under the present system, all of them could es readily be certified from this office to the Collectors. In the first instance, this would insure uniform- ity of adjustment, & thing almost impossible where two or three unassocinted minds aro resding and_ interpreting law and reg- ulations. %ecnn\i, the special or license taxes, which are collected 28 & general rale, but once, in May, each year. The Epecial tax certificates can be issued in books, a8 oro tho spirit and tobacco stamps, an charged to the Collectors at their face value, crediting them, the Collectors, only with cash or the unused certificates returned tfo this office. This system works admirably in the matter of spirits and tobacco, and can be very easily adapted to this ~other source - of reve- nue. The third and only remaining duty with which the Collcctors might not be entirely entrusted is the tax on banks and bankers. This tax is payable but twice during each year, and is the solo remaining tax on corporations, The tax on corporations was at one period all collected directly by this office, at a time when it extended to rairoad insurance, and turnpiko companies, in sddition to banks and * bankers. The history of this class of taxation shows that when 80 collected it was well collected, and the whole work done by less than fifteen clerks, at an average salary of not over $1,400 per sannum each. If fifteen men could collect tho tax when it reached $13,000,000 perannum, end embraced five species under tho class, all of them requiring monthe Iy retmns, it is not seen why & comparatively smaller number may not now ‘manage one-fifth of the class, and only yielding, it is estimated, for the current fiscal year, 2800,- 000 in all. It further sppeared that the excep- tional labor could be done in this office without increasing its force materially, and_thus enable the discharge of the entire body of assess- ing officers. Inasmuch s the plan of reduction under the act of June 6, only provides absolutely for the reduc- tion of somo two-thirds of the principal officers, 460 in all, and loft the reduction of the assist- ants, over 1,300, discretionary, it seemed to be the better plan'tossk Congress to make tho larger reduction and make t absolute. Itis not an easy matter to put out of commission a thousand or more of officers. Experience has demonstreted that nothing short of uncquivocal, inexorable law, can surely do it. Discretion 2dmits of doubt _and su[ggests delay, in view of the great confusion and loss of revenue antici- pated by & general disturbance of the collecting officers. Tho Biméwliclty andsecurity of & system which shall have but one class of officers, and these all under bonds; the fact that nothing is left for the asscesing class to do that cannot be done either by the Collectors or this offioc, and that a saving of from ©1,000,000 to $2,000,000 per annum of expense in salaries, etc., greater than would be effected under the act of June last can safely be anticipated. X have had &)repued the outlines of & law which will give effect to the above idea. This will be %re:entnd to the proper committees of the ouse of Representatives and the Senate imme- diately upon their assemblage in Dacember prox- imo. it is tho judgment of Congress that this plan is preferable to that contemplated by the act of June, I ask their early adoption of its provisions, that it may bo put in operation completely by thoe 80th of June, 1873.” PERSONAL.

[To the Associated Press.) MBS, FISH'S RECEPTION. WasaINGTON, Nov. 80.—The reception given by Becrotary and Mrs. Fish to the Diplomatic Corps, last evening, was attended by the mem- bers of the various legations almost en masse, together with members of the Cabinet, the Jus- tices of the Bupreme Court, Governor Cooke, and numerous others. _ 'VISITORS. . The President received s large number of 'vis- itors to-day, principally members of Coneress, among whom were Senators Morton and Wilson. CIVIL SERVICE REFORM, ‘Western members of Congress arriving here are very decided in their opposition to the en- forcement of the Civil Bervice regulations with- in their States. They nssert thatin the country & distinctive issue of the recent campaign was the theory of Civil Service techmicalities, and that this was :?ecial.ly true in Illinois, where Mr. Trumbull advocated the theory. They be- lieve that the question, as to them, is settled at the polls, assert that the system shall not be mpplied in their States so long a8 they have influence with Senators who can prevent the confirmation of new pointments based upon that theory. The El; ecutve order limiting competitive examinations to fewer offices, reported as prepared, in these fl:spatchea yesterdny, will shortly be pub- hed. . SENATE COMMITTEES. Of the thirty-five Senato Committees, four- teen are non-political. The Democrats claim that they are entitled to two of theso Chairman- ships.
