Spectal Dispateh to I'he Chicago Tribune, THE DOCTOR CUREALLS, ‘Wasnmxatoy, D. C., Fob. 1,—Tho diversity of opinion existing among the financial dootors in Congress is beginning to trouble the best minds among them. Althongh comparatively fow mombers ovor givo public expression to their thoughts in tho lialls of Legislation on subjects Vrought up for consideration, yet nenmtly every one bins his privato opinion; therefors, when a grout movement was set on foot recently to hiold o caucus of tho Ropublicans in Congress to set- tlo upon somo distinctive financial plan of ng- tion, it was discovered that it would be impossible to reconcile o majority to auy ono policy, and the ides was abandoned. ‘I'ho silent follows were found to have opinions of thuir own, and searcely any two alike. In tho Domocratic camp, the saumo troublo oxists. Among tho Ropublicaus and Democrnts can be found, in about equal numbers, oxpansioniats, contractionists, resumptionists, and thoso who believo in letting things nlone, as Boutwellites. BENATOI OULESDY, who hns not paraded his financial views in pub- lic, greatly pained at tho lack of harmony aniong 1us fellow-Solons, endeavored in a qaict mannor to pave the way toward & compromiso betweon tho extromists of all shados, but his pationt labor proved fruitless. The old goutleman s accused of using strong lnuguago whon mentioning the matter to his fricnds, Mr, Oglesby is not an inflationist ; still, for tho sako of barmonizing the divorsc elementsin his party, ho is willing to see the romaindor of the £44,000,~ 000 resorve put out, but ho wants a_stake driven right thore to its hend. TFour hundrod millions of dollars is the limit of his gamo. Any gentlo. man wanting to play highor must go to some- Dody else's hand then Richard's. ‘Cho Govern- ment is underatood to think poorly of his col- Toagmuo's recont offort to solve tho grent mystory, which, howover, i not to bo wondered nt. pdassetaig THE DISTRICT RING.

Speeial Dispateh to Whe Chicago Tribune, 1OURS OF OLERKS AND THEIR PAY. Wasmyatox, D, C., Fon. 1.—In the work of the rovision of tho laws that is now goiug on in tho Ilouso on Wednosdny and Thursday nights, 1t hns beon discovored that a Inw pasaed in 1830, and still in foreo, provides that the departments in Washington shall be kept open for tho transaction of busincss ocight hours day botweon the 1st of October and tho 18t of April, and ton hours a duy betwoen the 1st of April ond tho 18t of October, This avorages nino bours a dry tho yoor round. The practico now is to keep the dopartmonts opon only six hours n day—a loss in time of one-third loss than that preacribed by the law, In addition toJhis loss of time, it subjects the people to GREAT INGONVENIENCE, Unloss ono having businoss ax tho doepart- ments gels thoro before 8 o'clock he cannot goin admiesion. In the Treasury Dopartment tho rulo is oven moro sovere, as aftor 2 o'clock 1o one will ho admitted without special pormis- ston from ono of the august officials in tho Chiof Clorik's division, 'I'ho suggestion is made that, by an enforcomont of (ho law nbove quotod, o saving can bo effectod by areduction of the clovi- cal foreo to two-thirda the present number. It tho Inw is carriod out, theolorks will thon not boe compalled to do moroe work than is done by clorks employed in privato business for less pay. The total AMOUNT PAID TO CLERKS in the departments now is $5.600,000, and, con- soquontly, o saving of ouc-third would smount to 31,366,000, Tho item really seoms largo enough to bo worthy the attention of our Con- gressionnl economists and reformers.

Tho train was BROUGHT TO A HTANDSTILL atsight of a rod flag, It was boardod by soven desporadoos. Tho conductor, 0.

Thoy thon robbed tho oxpross- mossougor nnd Eafe, and took the rogistored lottors from tho mail-agent. While going through tho cars they inquired the namo of each passengor, and especially for a Mr. Pinker- ton, who thoy probably thought Lad his pookets well lined with greonbacks. Among thoso plun- derod was J. 8. Morloy, President of the Iron Mountain Railrond. THE THIEVES wore each armod with two revolvers and a gun, nnd wore masks.
