NOTES AND NEWS. THR CUSION-HOUSE-FRONT QUESTIO su1ecial Dispatcn to The Clicazo I1ivine, ASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 3.—Owing to the departure of Senator Davis as a member of the Committee to attend the funeral of Semator Morton, the Congressional delezation did nov lave their expected interview with the Sccretary of the Treasury this morging rolative to the Custom- House front. Representative Aldrich visited the Secretary, and -notificd him of the neccussary postponement of the bearing. Nothing will probably be done now before Wednesday or Thursday. The Dearborn street delegation, Honore and Robert lLmcoln, bave already left Tor Chicazo. It is quite provable that, in view of the incressing interest connectea with the matter, Sccretary Sberwan, hetore dcciding, mav determine to send 2 Cominission from the Treasury to advise lm.

BOSECRANS, Senator Staniey Matthews, Congressman Fos- ter, and other prominent Ohiozns' all uree the appointment of Gen. Rosecrans to be Superin- tendent of the San Francisco Mint. Tuey base their recommendations upon bis standing as an engincer, h's eminent services in the Mexican and Jate Civil War, bis personal relations of old friendship with President Hayes, and s alleged Straightened circumstances. Lle was at one time in command of Hayes' regiment, tbe Twenty-teird Obio, a number of whose officers bave been given civil positions by this Administration. and the President is known to be very favorably. disposed toward him. There is excellent authority, however, for predicting 1bat choice of successor for Lagrange will be made among the most prominent candidates beretofore_mentioned, namely: Houziton, Dodge, or Catlin, with the chances at presentin favor of Dodge. It is not yet determined whether Superintendent Lagrange’s retirement will take place on the 30th inst. or 315t of De- cember. TREASURY STATEMENT. To the Western dssociated Press. WasHiNGTON, D.

The manner in waih Lieb, or suine one clalm- ing to represent lum, manipulated the Globe Hall Conventionis best shown by 2 sait which bas been entered before Justice Foote by ‘Thomas Wall, a Workiugmen’s Industrial dele- gate from the Ninth Ward. The action is against an individual named Hermans Lied, now occupying the otlice of County Clerk, anu another named Ibomas Lealy, a snoemaker, so- called, wio is Chairman of Liel’s Campaign Comuuttee in the Schloesser Block. The suit is brougzht to recover $200, being a part of the price of Give aclegates of the Niuth Ward, whose votes were delivered 1 the Glove Llall Convention at the price of $35 per bead. “This mteresting case will be heard at 9 o'clock to-morrow murning belore Justice Foute, and the voters of Cook County are especially m- vited to attend, in order that toey may tlud out the true inwardness of Hermaun Lied as an in- dividual, and the wgang - of leaders of tue Indus- triuls in particular, the weu woW operating so arduousty 1 bebali of Lyuch and Lieb.

A rousing meeting -of the Ninth Ward Re- puolican Club was held last evenine in Parker's 1lall, corner of Madison and Halsted streets, Col. W. H. Thompson presiding.

Licb has the effrontery to state that he runs his office absolutely for the guod of the public. He would scorn to employ any clerk for his abilities as a_barroom polifidan. He does uot ecxpect his clerks to do any political work for him, and he would no more compel them to stand an assessment 10 carry on Lis campaign than he would cut off his right arm. Of course he wouldo’t, but an examivation of s pay-roll points to some cir- cumstances which are of a supicious charucter. Shuld the General think these suspic:ons ua- founded, becan ioform the public through 3 circular. Nevertheless as a surface indicationof HOW GEN. LIED MaKES USE OF HIS CLERES to further his political ends, even thougn the county should be taxed at the rate of $iper divn for each man, it may be remarked that over forty of his cleris, paid_ by the county at the rate of $4 per day, participated in all the recent political conventions except the Republic an, as will be seen by the following: Industrigt_Convention — Alesander Weinbers Second Ward; M.

Lieb for Couuty Clerk, and very clear Iy establishes that gentleman’s intimate cot- nection with the county gang in the Court- House work, aud also his undging hatred for the Irish. From what he writes,—and the ree ords prove much that be says,—in 1574, whea the architect for the Court-House was beis elected, he gave out that **no [rish need 3p- ply;” aud subsequently, when Armstrong 30d Egan were elected architects by the Countf Bourd, he refused to obey its mandates and allx the couuty seal to the papers. He acted in this arbitrary way, he said at the time becuuse he was determined that D0 “dumued gannel-mouthed Irishman” should bave anythe to do with the Court-House- When the contract was presented to him, 3~ proved by the Board, he took this stand, a0d £ wake bis light on the lrish complete wenti® Rountree, who had drawn the instrument, a0 prevailed’ ou i to send 2 commuunication 9 the Buard stating that the contract would ot ; hold water. At first Rountree said be coul oL o back o -lnmself: that the contract Wi3 good, cte.; but Licb told him tht he would make him recall the dm:unu:ulIl and threaten! tat if he did not he would bold the Germat vote in the Bourd up against i Fually, Rountree, to please Lied i s hyit on the Irish, and to saye himsell, sest in tLé commuaication_Lieb desired. The mst- ter uf electing an architect, says the \'urresu»!}l;“ eat, was then Lrought up anew, but to Lieb's disgust the “flanocl-mouthed [rishman” 733 cuin clected, and u new contract was drawi. 1c docutnent was agam presented to Licb 10 ;im the county seal autached, uut again he re used, deteriived that no Irisman shoul lave anyulung to do with toe Court-Housé work. He was prevailed upon, in fact,—grier by the Board to attach his seal, but ‘be per- emptorily refused, and tothis day the seal does not apoear on the contract. Suvsequently b exmnmed the law on the questioh r some one did for bim, and it flashed UDOY Bis mind that the seal was unpecessary.
