POST-OFFICE INQUIRY. Bveial vispaten te The Chicaao Tribune. Wisarsaros, D. C., May 6.—A delegation of Past-office officials from Omaba hasarrived hare fo testity before the Stone Committee. The Gelegation consista of Furay, Bpecial Agest of the Post-Office Department ; Hammond, Postal Agent on the Union Pacifio Railroad, who Lave Deen summoned to testify with regard o’ the Jelghing of the mails ; Rosewsier, editor of the Omaha Bee, and Seth Cole, former postal clerk, Who are summoned in connection with the in- ‘Wastigation of the Omaba Post-Office, It in.a ing its report. mnuch betterst the hands of the Committee if of significant comment uwpon the Democratic methods of economy, that the post-office nes ust been investigated by Postmaster General owell. and that Postmaster Yost 'was entirely exonerated. . B . BCHENCK. . i ‘The Schonck Opmmittes is engaged ia prepar- Gon. Schenck would bave fared the report could hava been written before tha evidenca of tho last woek was taken, The evi- dence, if, 25 Schenck’s counsel sneeringly assert- ed it did, copsist of desd men’s letters, showed 'very conclusively that Schenck has most inti- mate coofidential relations with the brothers Fisher. The last week of the testimony pre- sented Park and Schenck in & much more disfa~ vorablo light thau the gencral roports havo made thom appear. Up to the last weck nothing bad been discovered which seemed to question Gen. Schenck’s veracity, but the later evidenca of the Fisher correspondence seemed to ehow that Schenck's connection with the mining compauy w8 MORE INTOMATE AXD CONFIDENTIAL than ho has been willing to admit. There in reason to believe that the report in course of vpreparation will not be long, and that the Com- mittee will brush away many of the irrelevant matters with which interested parties have incumbered the jssuo, and pronounce Y spoedy vordict, No one who has. watched the investigation carefully doubts that the Emma Mine wes sold in England on the strength of Gen. Schenck's name, and thero i8 reason to believo that the Committee re- port will say as much. It rrobnbl‘v will exoner- ate Schenck from intentionally guilty acts or knowledge. MISSIBSIPPL The testimopy taken thus far before the Bont- wall l\_%lsl!sippi Investigation’ Committeo showa a terrible atate of affairs in Misuissippi. From the testimony it has been made clearly to appear that the Democratic minority controls the State to a great extent. A part of the polioy of some of the Democratic managers hag been to enforce the exile of Republican leaders. e IMPEACHMENT. LEGAL QUESTIONS. . ‘WasmrsaTos, D. C., May 6.—In the Senats, consideration of the impeachment articles was resumed. Mr. Conkling submitted the following ques- tions to the managers: Tirst. If.two persons guilty of crime in office cease to be officers at the same time, one by removal and the other by resignation, is one, rather than the other, sub- ject to impesc! it afterwards? If o distinc- tion between the two cases exists, please state it. Second. Is & private citizen linble to im- peschmeat under the Constitution of the United Btates, if his haviog previously held an office distiguishes him in this respect from other citizens? Please trace tho distinction to a clause of the Constitution, or %o the principle in which it is found. Mr. Mitchell, of Oregon, submitted the fol- lowing question: The Constitution provides that when the President of the United States is tried on impeachment, the Chief Justice shall preside. Suppose that a lato President were im- peached for high crimes and misdemeanors, committed while he was President and present- ed at the Bar of the Seoate for trinl, who would preside, the Chief Justico or the Presidont of the Senate? THE ARGUAENTS. Owing to the continued indisposition of Maa- ager Knott, he was pgranfed leave to conclude ‘his argument on Mondasy. Manager Jenks then read a long argument in favor of the jurisdiction of tho Nenate, when & Tecess was taken. TUpon reassembling Manager Hoar began his argnment, maintaining the jurisdiction of the Senate. Mr. Hoar concinded hisargument by a perora- tion which elicited storms of applause from the g:l]un‘u. and on motlon of Mr. Sherman, the nate soon afterwards adjourned. CONCRESSIONAL TOPICS. . SMALL, CHANGE. Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. Wasm¥orox, D. C., May 6.—The Treasury Department after Monday next will commenco to pay Treasury checks in silver to all who de- gireit. The officers of the Treasurer's Durean maintain that there is good authority of law for this, 2nd thero is plenty of silver to do it. Itis very probable that tho Frost joint resolu- tion suthorizing the issue of $10,000,000 of silver to relieve the small change strin- gency will pass the Houss on Mon- day on 3 sBusposion of the rules. Payne, of Ohio, who has charge of the bill, thinks that there will not ba more than ten votes against it. The Hawaian treatv has been set for consideration on Monday, but Fer- nando Wood, who has charge of if; has arranged with Payno to yieid the floor for tho consider- stion of _the silver resolution, and as Mr. Cox, who is Chairmap of the Committee on Banking and Currency, that favorably reported the reso- Iation, is also Speaker pro tem, Payne will prob- ably got the floor. THE POSTAL BILL. The House dabated the Post-Offica bill for an- other day. Holman for three hours disoussed the question of transportation and methods of compensation to railroads. He favored the payment per lineal foot of space. There was a0 animated discussion upon the letter- carrier system, and the debate was not con- cluded. Tho discussion turned upon the para- graph providiog that hereafter tho free delivery system shall not be established in cities of less than 40,000 inhabitants, abd may be continued only in cities with notless than 40,000, The now rale which hae given the majority 8o much trouble thissossion was tho test -of another acnmonious debate, This_ proviso is mani- festly new legislation, but under the new rule it is admissable if it pro- vides for retrenchment. . Upon the debate Gen. Banks very oarnestly maintained that it would not result in retrenchment, aud the ex- pense of ocal offices would be increased. NEW MEXICO. The managers of the bill to make a State of New Mexico have about abandoned their at- tempts of bringing the bilt forward in the House this session. The Democrats prefer that final action on the bill shonld be postponed until ter the Presidential election. They have given assurances that they will then pass it through the House.

LETTER FROM BLAINE. ) The Baltimore - papors make. the {ulluwms referenco to Biaine’s request for an iostructes delegation, and cite what purports to be an ex- tract from the letter. One reportis: John L. Thomas, standing up at his seat in front of tho President, produced aud read to the Convention oxtracts from o privato letter written by Mr. Blaino prior to the nssemblageor the Convention. Mr. Blaine says: “Atonotimo I dianotcars about the matter, but circumstances have arisen which make it desirable that Alarsiand should stand by mo at Cincinnatiat this time He says tho support of Maryland is of jm- portance to bim, Another report sa¥s, when tho reso- Intion was read instructing delegates to voto for Blaine as long 88 _advisable, 3Ir, Ensor moved to strike out the discretionary part, and_ binding the delegation from first to last to Blains, Mr. Matthews, who spoke at Jength upon all questions, opposed this, He was unwiiling £ have the delegation in chains. ~ Mr. 0. O Fulton called Mr, Matthows to bim, and handed him a letter, As soon as Mr. Matthews had read it ho said : T hold letter in my band, from Ir. Blaine, asking 10 have tho delegation instructed. Therefore, 1n God's name, let us give tho delegation to him.” r. Jobn L. Thomss took the letter, and eaid, X will read it; Mr. Blsine ésys, “A pronounced delegation from Alarglw £ the nd is o greatest importanee to mae at this time.” At this point Mr. Matthews took his hand and closed the letter up in Mr, Thomas' hand, even as he was reading, and the ‘balance of this letter is lost to contemporary bistory. The motion of Mr. Ensor prevailed. The Bristow mea claim, ‘however, that the dotogation pives no clew to his real strength, and that his voting power in- the Convention will not be represented by nstructed delegates, ‘but by the popular pressare behind them. —_— MISCELLANEOUS, GEORGIA.

In the discussion, the Gubernatorial question was first, and the sense of the Club was that eithor Cullom or Beveridge would be the nominee, and that the former was the stronger of the two. Very little was said sbout the reat of the Btate ticket, except the offico of Treasuzer, Which was conceded to the Germans and claimed for this county. On the county ticker, Gen.

The meeting then adjourned. gt THE PRIMARY ELECTION SYSTEM. THE SURSTITTTION OF WARD OLUBS, To the Editor of The Chicago 2'ridune: Curcaco, May 6.—The last Republican Con- vention appointed a committeo to take into con- sideration tho question of primary elections, ood to report a plan in lien thereof. That the old primary election has in our grest cities be- came a frand and a farce, no intelligent man doubts. Whenever tho office to be filled has a lerge income attached, whether as salary or emoluents of various kinds, then the persona who enter the liais for sucia offices will ase all tho machinery, honest or diehonest, known to party managers, Hooest men in the msin are preciuded from entering into such a contest on account of the dishonorablo means used to obtain 8 nomination. Itis notorious, aod needs only to be men- tioned, that the dishonorable of both parties as- gist each other in tho primary elections, and oftentimes ono _political party controls both political conventions. There i 8 Iarge number of voters in a great city that will vote for the party that offers the greatest inducement in the ‘way of whisky, beer, or half-dollars, i It would seem that thers should be no one to- day who would dare advocate tho primary elec- tion systom in & great city. What is to tako its place? We answer without hesitation, **the ward clab.” This institution in Chicego has within six months doveloped a worth and & power in pohtics beretofore unknown. We speak, with ; referonce to tho Republican Clabe. They admit to membership every Re- publican, without charge, and those who neglect or refuse to become members are the same per- sons who cannot be induced to take any interest even in & primary election, and are willing to le:l:.lve the management or control of the pacty to others. 3 The Club consolidates the workingmen of the party, and & plan is developed ; thes mest each other face to face, they become acquainted, and their acts, whatever they may be, will have in them some intelligence. The club of each ward il possees the intelligence of the party, and thoge who aro not Republicans cannot control these clubs in_the interest of the opposito party, The man who isto be nominated for Aldermsan is before them, and i3 not an invisiblo and un- known quantity. The persons to be named as delegates to a city or county convention are present, and aro known to the Club. Their in- telligence and their honesty will be known to all. "Heretofore, under the old primary system, w0 Or throe persous in each ward who had the machino in their hands woukd come together, nominate n ticket of delegates, usually two tickets, either of which the machine was wiliing to havae elected, and would then call npon their ‘party, or both parties, to coma forward and voie for them. Under the Club system no such fraud can be porpetrated. The Clab is t0o large to be con- trolled by the machino, and necessarily the best men will' be selected for delegates. The vast majority of those composing the Club desire no office, and have no interest in the matter except to see the best mon brought forward. The Club method is the overthzow of the machioe politician. It has proved to be &0 in the Eighteeoth Ward, in the Furst, Second, Third, and Fourth Warde in this city, a8 well as in many others. The Clubs are intiuectiat in themselves, and do not fear the party lssh, and if & man be nominated for an oftice who is objectionable, the power and tho intlusnce of tho Cleb is sach that, quietly and withont party revolation, such person 18 easily efeated. 1 think that such 8 phenomenon in party ggfitiu was mever before seen in Chicago asthe defeat of Mr. Lipe. Out of 28,000 Repub- lican votes caat, 10,000 were cast against him. 1t was done by the intelligent work of the Club, and in opposition to the party machine. The Club gives an opportunity for the development of patriotism and honosty rather than mere partyism. While it works for party. that is only & secondary consideration ; it is only s method of reaching what tho voters desire, and not the end to be conatantly songht. A proper City Government i9 of much more consequonce to tho average voter than is the saccess of his party. It will be found that every man in a good office, from United States Senator down, who has obtained such office without morit on his pare, will be in favor of the old primary election system. It is the most loved piece of machinery, by all of them, evar invented. They will never consent that it be overthrown. Butthe people do not like it. Thoy desire something thst will produce etatesmen and honest men in offics, in- stead of blowing politicians, defaulters, and whigky-thieves, 1 confidently assort that it is only by means of the Club, whichshould be constantly kept alive and ready for action, that reform inside of a political * party can be acccmplished. The olitician by profession will be unable to manipu- ate it, and his appointees to officc are not sufficient in number to control it. An Acting Governor cannot write 8 personal letter, upon Government paper, postage paid by the State, to each of the 200 or 300 membera of the Ward Club, Nor can be personally visi¢ them. It will be nseless for him to seek out the machine boys, for he finds them ali ignored. It was by means of this Clab alons that the City of Chicago was enabled, at its Iast election, to select the best men ever eent to jts Council. And why should nob the vote for Aldermen or delegates be taken in the open mesting of the Club, instead of being taken at s primary elec- tion ? The one vote must be honest. The oth- ermsy be very dishonest, . Can any one. now point out any real objection” to the adoption of the club method, or can he point cut avy Rood resson for continning the old system?

The Sad Mishap of a Theatrical Manager. | : An Audience with the Pops---Ths * Household of the Grand Turk. A MANAGER'S MISHAP. . Acurious incident. has just been recorded hero (says the Paris corrospondent of the New York Times), the hero of it being one of: our confreres of the press, M. Hypolite Nazet, late editor of the Gaulois. “When the new Theatre Taitbout waa organized he was taken as Secre- tary, owing to his famuliarity with the critics and with the official world entitled to share in the distribution of gratnitous tickets, or billeta de faveur, as they eay here. Owing to some difficultics in the mauagement, the direction of the theatre was ultimately confidsd to M. Nazet. He began under very auspicions circomstances. He had * La Petite Comtessa ™ offered to him, the mu- sic being by Escndier, the words by Ricci, one of theauthors of ** Crispino o la Comare.” Buc- cesa appeared certain, and our confrers gave up the pen he had so Jong wielded with honor and dovoted himself to his new profession. Ho en- gaged some of the best artistes, bad the piece mounted in fine style, and when all was ready 18sued his tickets for the premiere represcnta- tion. At night he appeared in all his glory, in swallow-tail and white cravat, prepared to receive his colleagues, with whom he i8 a general favorite. But not a jourmalist ap- peared. None of the critics came, but in their vlaces ho saw & lot of persons who did not look like the people ordinarily convoked to these re- cherche first representations, Nazet was greatly chagrined, and thought for the moment that his confreres had played him a trick by sending their servants in their places, 28 one.of the American Ministers was roported to have done a few years a0 when the Minister of Beanx-Artas sent hima box. .On- inquiry the--next- day, Nazet found that not one of the tickets had reached the person to whom it was direct- ed. The mystery was cleared up the otber day in the Police Court. The ticketa were sont out by the usual messenger of the theatre. It happoned to be election-day, and he was an elector. There wonld seem to be nothing equal to voting for making men thirary, and when the messenger had bravely performed his civie duties he retired .to the nearest wino-sbop wita bis coreligionpaires iz _politics to drink tho success of his candidate. One glass demands another, and then another, and in the end the mossenger got into such fine humor that be distributed all the press tickets among his friends of the wine-shop. - Such'a lot a8 appeared in the firsc boxes on.the opening night was never seen befors. In court Nazet stated that this escapade had cost him over 20,000 francs, for there is nothing like the first tam-tam of the critics to make the success of a piece ; no after talk can repair the loss of that. The messenger was very humble and confessed his fault. Or rather, he confessed tothe fact, but stated that 1t was not his fanlt, but the fanlt of the wine he had taken 8o copiously. The Judge said there might be differences of opinion npon this point, but he could have the benefit of auy doubta, 8o far as the wine was concerned, how- ever, the Court would show itself severe, and condomn it to confinement with hard labor for two months. As the container could pot be easily separatod from the contained, the festive mesaonger had {0 go to prison as an accomplice: Poor Nazet will never get over the chagrin caused by this mcident at the very beginning of bis career as a director, Nevertheless his piece has succeeded very well, and visitors to Paris CBD pass & Very: lgraenble eveniog with M. Nazel and hig * Potite Comtesse.” : IN THE POPE'S AUDIENCE-ROOM. Thomas Bailey Aldrich, in the May Atlanfic, thus describes & * Visit to a Certain Old Gentle- mon”: The monotonous hum of conversation ceased abraptly, the two sections of the wido door I have mentioned wers thrown open, and the Pope, surrounded by his .Cardinals and a 'number of foreign Princes, entered. The occo- pants of the two long eottess rose, and then, as if thoy wero nutomata -worked by the same tyrannical wire, suok simultancously into an sttitnde: of devotion. For &n-inatant I was seized with a desperate desire not to koeel. There is something in an American knee, when it is rightly constructed, that makes it an awkward thiog to kneel with befors any maa born of woman, Perhaps, if the clicice were left one, either to prostrate one’s self before a cer!ain person or to be shot, one might make a pomt of it,—and be shot. But that was not tho alternative in the present case. If I had failed to follow the 1mmemorial custom I would pot have had the honor of a fusillade, but wonld have been igndminiously led away by one of those nighly-colored Bwiss guards, and, in my dress suit, would have presented to the geveral stare the appearance of a pretentious ace of spades being wiped out by a gay right- bower. Such & huouliastion. was mot to bo thought of! So, wishing myself eafely back amid the cruder civilization of the New World, and with 8 mental protest, accompanied by & loftly compassion for tho weakness and cow- ardice of human kind, I slid softly down with tho rest of the micerable sinnerg, I was in the very act, when I was chilled to tBb marrow by catching s sidelong glimpse of my benign old gentloman placidly leaning back in hia seat, bis hands folded over his well-filled waistcoat, and that same benevolent smile petrified on his countenance. He was fast asleep. Immediately & tall, cadaverous person in & scant, funereal garment emerged from some- where, and toached the sleeper on the ghoulder. The old gentloman unclosed his eyes slowly and with difficulty, and was 8o far from taking in the situation that he' made a gestureas if to shake hands with the tall, cadaverons person. ‘Tnen it all flashed upon the dear old boy, and ho dropped to his knees with 8o comical and dospairing an air of contrition thas the presence of 40,000 Popes woald nos.have prevented me from langhing. . Another discomposing incident oceurred at this juncture. Two removes below me was a smooth-faced Gorman of gigantic stature; ha must have been 6 or 7 inches over 6 feot in height, but so absurdly short between the knee- "cap ond aokle thag aa be Lnelt he towered head and shouldera above us all, ressmbling a great, overgrown sciool-boy, standiog up _as straight 2a he could. It wasso he impressed one of the ghostly attendants, who advanced quickly to- wards him with the evident purpose of request- ing him to kneel. Discovoring his error just in time, the reverend father retreated much abashed. . All oves were now torned toward the Pope and his suite. aod this trifling episode passed unooticed save by two or ibree individuals in the immediate neighborhood, who succeeded in swallowing their smiles, bat did not dars glance at each other afterwards. The Pope advanced to the centre of the upper end of the room, lean- ing beavily on his ivory-handled cane, the Princes in black and the Cardioals in scarlet standing behind him in picturesque groups, like the chorns in an opera. Indeed, it was all like & sceno on the stage. THE GRAND TURK'S HOUSEHOLD, The Economisle Francais (a Paris paper), in an article on the Sultan of Turkey's household, says: “The Grand Marshal is the head funo-) tionary of the palace. He has the supervision snd respopsibility of all that pesscs in the selambike, the part of the palace whers the Saltan spends the day, takes his meals, and re- ceives visitors.

These scrvicea are handsomely re- warded. The Chamber(sins aanounce their ap- pointment to the Grand Vizier, the Ministers, and Governora. Custom requires each of thess personages to give the bearer of good tidings from 11,000f. to 22,000f.as a prosent. The numerous concesaions to the Viceroy of Egypt bave always been announced to him by the Chamberlains, who have recawved 340, 000f., 460,000f., 575,000f., aod even 630,000f. ‘The number of Chamberlaina varies according to the Sultan’s caprice.

A wealthy bachelor (savs a Paris letter), who brelsfasts overy morning in one of the most fash- ionable restaurants of the Boulevard des Italiens, is, or rather was, very attentively served . by a waiter, whose palm he generally croesed,and never with the viler metal. Of course the wealthy bachelor always had the same =oat, sscat bya window looking on the ever-ani- mated boulevard, hot plates, dishes served g:mmtly, but not too faar; in fine. pedict had ~ an excellent servent. But during the last week, Benedict had been unable to get this excellent gervant; anolher servant bangs around him. and tries his best to supply all his wants ; still the new face is not the old {ace, and what annoys Benedict most is, that he occasionally catches glimpses of his old sarvant, who gives him most sorrowful glances. Bene- dict has examined the matior, and has discover- ed that his old servant is addicted to gambling. One evening, having lost all his momey, he staked his best customer—Benedict—and lost FOREIGN, GREAT BRITAIN.
