T.~Secrotary Rich- ardson finally yiclded to-day, znd promised to send the contracts entered into by the Treasury Department in the matter of the Butler-Eelsey job to the House on Monday. The Ways and Mgu:s Committeo are not disposed to blame Bxchn_rd.son very much, except that he, tne re- sponsible head of the Treasury, allowed himself to be unduly influenced by other par- tics. Assistant-Secrotary Sawyer, when he was Senator, secured, it is charged, the adoption of the amendment under which this jobis operated, and boa given tho subject par- ticular attention from the day on which he se- sumed the dutics of his present position. Bout- well states that whilo he was Secretary only one ortwo contracts were made under the law, and no money was collected at all, and it appears that nearly all of the coutracta "have becn made sinco Suwyer becamo Assistapt-Secretary, and by him. Richardson’s ignorance on the subject is remarkable. Itis a strango circumetance that in not one of these cases where a contract has becn made for the collection of delinquent in- ternal rovenue iaxes was any referenco what- ever made to tho Internal Revenue Bureau, which, it is fair to presume, would have infor- mation more or less valuable as to each case. On tho contrary, that Duresu bas been utterly igonored, and Bolicitor Bonfield and Assistant-Secrotary Sawyer have proceeded with the execution of tiie contracts asif there wero no place whero information could possibly be had to asesist them in acting intelligontly. While of course nothing definite can be known until the contracts are mado public, still thoso most interested and best informed state that the circumstances are of such a suspicious charzcter as to warrant® the belief that their publication will only lead to the uncovering of anow mass of corruption,-involving officials against whom, up to this time, no misconduct has been charged. s THE STATE DEPARTMENT, Special Dispatoh to Ths Chicaco Tribune, BILL FOR Irs BLORGANIZATION. ‘WasnrscroN, D. C., Feb. 7.—The bill prepared by Dancroft Davis, Assistant Secretary of Stato, for the reorganization of the State Dopartment, will not probably pasa the Houso Foreign Af- fairs Committee without being amended in some important particulars, Among other provisions in the bill ia one authonzing the appoint-! ment of a Bolicitar for -the- Dep: to sct independently of the Attomey- General’s Department. Eoch Depariment has now its Solicitor, but they all belong to the At- torney-General's juriediction, and are subject to his order. Tho Commitieo think thatifa So- licitor is _suthorized for the State Department, as provided for in the bill, tho way will be opened_for each Department to securo similar logislation. The result woud pe that each Solicitor would decide questions of law to suit tho particular interest of his own Department, and in the end there would be such o muddle of opin- ions and decisions hero as would roquire Con- gressional action to nnravel. There is quite a strong prejudice hers sgainst the extra rights and privileges that tho State Defnrlmenfi is ask- ing, and the bill will be roughly handled when 1t gots into the House. The Committce expect to be called for reports on noxt Thursday. e - NOTES AND NEWS. Special Dispaich to The Chicaqn Tribune. TOE DISTRICT MUDDLE. Wasnmxaroy, D.

Tkhe percentage of barley on hand at tho date named in the five States, which produced in 1873 some 9,500,000 bushels, is placed at_31 3-10 per cent. The rate of coosumption, by which is meant both shipments and home consumption, is highest in Kaosas and lowest in Wisconsin, ‘being respectively 76 and 66 per cent. The percentage of 7jé on band sverages 26 6-10 per cent, which, with a total year of about 4,800,000 bushc! amount now on hand equal to a triflo less than 1,143,000 bushels.

Spectal Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. ?osrox, Feb. 7.—The landlords at the hotels rz.uded upon by the State police on Wedneadsy, viz : George Young, of Young's Hotel ; Capt. Barney Hull, of the Sherman House; and Ar. Edwin Chapin, proprietor of the Tremont and Revere Houses, were arraigned in the Police Court, and, only by the conrtesy of tho court officials, prevented from occupying seats in the dock, side by side with the thieves, harlots, and vagabonds. They were charged with main- .aining liquor nuisances. Mr. Chapin entered & apleaof “ Gulity,” and by his own evidence entisfied the Court that it was a ** first offenso,” when he was fined 250 and costs, which ho paid. This action entirely debars him from recovering any of the liquors and wines, worth about £2,000; that were taien away from the Tremont House. Capt. Hull and Georgo Young both pleaded not guilty, and declined to testify in thoir own be- half, and were ordercd to pay a fine of 875 and costs, and suffer threo months’ imprisonment at hard labor in the House of Correction. Of course ihoy appealod, and furnished bail for their ngpeu{ance before the Upper Court. Mr. Chspin was nover prosecuted before un- der this 1aw, and Capt. Hull and Mr. Young havo not been before the Court since the 20th of De- cember, 1871, when they were fined 810 each, and cests, for unlawfally keeping intoxicating liquor for sale.

Rirsy, 0., Fob, 7.—Tke temperance excite- ment is red-hot. The ladies manifest a resolute disposition in this matter. The procession ap- peared this morning stronger than ever. Three more saloons closed. The most respectable deal- ers have given up. At moon tha procession boarded the steamer Wildwood on herdown trip, and were received by the officors in & very kind and gentle manner. The assurance was given that no liquor would be sold to citizens of this place from that boat’s bar while at this wharf. Thera were onthe boat some of Kentucky's grandiloguent bloods, smong them a Col. Robbins, of Dover, who grossly insulted the ladics with tho most profanc and ungentle- manly abase, while Mre. Moody was engaged in praver, Ho bad not oven the elight excuso of boing drank, or this might have been overlook- ed. “He was returning from s chicken fight ot Maysville, and felt very valorous. When tho mals element heard of this the boat was leaving, but you may rest assured that if they could have got at him Mr. Dobbins would Dbave met with more daubing sud a full supply of feathers.

Nearly 500 signatures to the total abstinenco pledge. Pub- lic sentiment is overwhelmiogly for the ladies’ movoment. No procession this afternoon, but the women will board tho steamer Potomac to- pight and ask tho same assurances given by the Wildwood. They are thorough going, and mean business. ¢ _ THE CENTENNIAL, Philcdelphin’s Pct Schome Saubbed in tlie Wassachuasetts Legisiature. Special Dispateh to The Chicage Tribune, Bosrox, Feb. 7.—Tho Centennial was badly soubbed to-day by the Legislature. Tho Benate resolutions in relation to the celebration at Phil- adelphis of the Ceniennial of American Inde- pendenco came up for concarrent action iu the House to-day, when Mr. Adzms, of Quinoy, a son of Charles Francis Adams, made a strong speech in opposition to them. He dido't like the methods which had beoa and are being nsed to commit tho United States Government to the celebration. The country was assured that the pooplo of Thilsdelphis wers to carry it out themselves, that the Gen- eral Government ghonld not be called on for a ceot towards ihe oxponses; but they have sought to commit the United Btates to the affair by obtaining the Preaident’s indorsoment. He would not dwell on the constitutionality of ssch an appropria- tion by Congress, nor upon tle expediency of spending money in such a way when the Trens- ury was bankrupt. Instead of making a display of ‘machines snd glorying over tha increass of our material interests, ho thought it would be a8 well to consider on that day whother we are following out tho grest principles our fathers 1aid down o hundred years ago, and devote the occasion to prayer, that we might follow out those principles in the future. Mr. Crooker, of Doston, charcterized Mr Adams’ specch 28 a ot remarkablo oue, one that he should have been ashamed to have mode. He moved that the further considera- tion of the question be postponed till Monday. Lost. 3Ir. Loring, of Fitchburg, then moved to lay tho resolutions on the table, and the motion was carriod,—76 to 34,—thus shutting off a namber of members who wero all ready to jump on their fect and discharge some of their bottled- up eloquence.
