Special Dispateh to Ths Chicago Tribune, THE CINGINNATI BUB-TREASURY. 4 ‘WasmiNaTON, March 27.—An inspection of the ofticial records shows that Senator Bhorman was right, Festorday, whon ho said that tho nomina- tion of 6x-Gov. Hayos to bo Assistant. Tronsurer at Cincinnati had boen passed over. Tho history of thig:wholo affair, whon' it comen .to be fully doveloped, will be fonnd to be-a very curious ono. At presont, tho most that can be said is, that Hayos wos the candldate of tho Adminis- tration, and that Bhorman had compromised himsol? by promising his snpport ta some other man. By passing tho nomination over until noxt wintor, it is thought that satisfactory ar- rangomonts cari bo made whoreby all parties wilt bosatlsflod. .

Congrees at last session passed & Inw providing ona rate of pay for performing the mail sorvico in postal-cars, and anotlier rate for the sorvico orformed in baggago-cars. The lattor modo infliots the loasor me upon_the railroad com- panies, and will bo adopted by mahy large com- anics, This Company (tho Baltimoro & Wosh- 5ton) will receivo loss mail pay under it than was recoived for mail servico in 1850, -but we do not think of refusing to carry the mails. It was bolioved ot the Post-Offico Dopartment, to-day, that tho railrond companies would yob agroe fo run postal-sars for_existing torms, and that the uomg!romiue would bo'made by nn un- derstanding that theso corporations, facling ag- grieved, should bo roforrod to the noxt Congress for roliof. ; FINANGIAL AGENT.

Whilo tho Prosi- dent is groatly encouraged with the result of his Indien poace polioy, it is not the succoss ho de- sires, The Indinn Ponco Comumission, tho Bocioty of Friends, and all others who bavo trled their hands upon the Indians, have to a groater or loss dogreo failed.
