Special Dispatch to Th: Caiccgo Tribune, WasuincTos, D. C., Nov. %.—uuneau WSs more quiet today, and the proceedings were more orderly. A3 usuul, the court-room was thronced by iadies, and, it being a clear any, the open spaces about the city-hull which give a chance to catch a elimpse of the prisoner were frequented by patient crowds. JudgeCox is not insensible to the criticism his muderation to- ‘wards the prisoner bas excited. He said today, grimly, that he thought be was getting to bo about as unpopular us Guiteau. - The fact is, he isnot responsible for much of the disorder. Very often it is the prosecution which calls it forth, Mr. Duvidge holds his wit in high esicem, and is fond of exhib- iting it. Searcely: an important witness for the defense has appeared whom he has not striven to discredit through irony and ridicule. ‘His eiforts amuse the audience more, perhaps, than they influence the jury. Here are TWO SAMPLE DIALOGS from today’s proceedings. He is cross-examin- ing a colored witness who was himself a persist- ent applicant at the White House tor office, and #5 such saw Guiteau there frequently, and came to regard him as crazy: Davidee—You and he belonged to the same ” prowd, then? ‘The witness—No, sir; I think he belonged to the crazy. crowd. Davidge—And do you know. what crowd ho and the others may have thought you belonged to? [Laughrer.] Davidge—You say you live on Nicholls avenue. ‘Where is that? 5 ‘The witness—Between here and the Insane Asylum. Davidge—Pretty near the Insane Asylum, isn’t 42 [Laughter.] ANY ONE WHO HAS FREQUENTED COURT- ROOMS: during important trials knows the sort of laughter which follows badinare of this-descrip- tion. There is a movement in the audience, a rustle of dresses, a buzz of voices, and here and there more positive sounds of mirth, then the pounding of mallets and sten- torian calls for order from the Bailiffs. Tne wit is often very cheap, and the laughter silly, and due more to nervous tension than to genuine amusement. The very gravity of the trial and the intense interest felt in the Proceedings tend to excite a slicht laughter ‘whenerer tho smallest occasion offers. . Such demonstrations are but temporary and infre- quent, however. THE PROCEEDINGS AS A WHOLE are marked by the utmost and often a painful seriousness of attention. The salient features today were North's .cross-examination and the testimony of Senator Logan and Mrs. Scoville. The first was of interest mainly from the light St shed on the peculiar religious and social tenets of the Oneida Community. Senator Logan's personality was more’ noteworthy than his testimony. He had little to say, execpt that hbecameto regard Guiteau as ‘a little off,” and a very undesirable fellow-boarder, but tho swurthy Stalwart cbieftian made a picturesque figure in the witness-box. JUDGE Cox ‘bas consulted with his azsociutes on the bench io reference to the prisoner's treatment in court. Ithas, it is understood, been devided amons them that the prisoner should be allowed no Ereater indulgence than a man undoubtedly sane. It is doubtful, however, whether the trial ‘Would be constitutional if the -prisoner were re- moved from the cuurt-room, as he is entitled to the right to confront witnesses against him, Rather than run the risk of having the re- Suite of the trial rendered yoid, the Court allows himto remain in the room. The Court is evi- Gently fn n quandary as to how the prisoner can bekept quiet. Some of the lawyers buve sug- gested that Guitezu should be notified. that, if he continues his antics, the Court will order an adjourament of the trial for forty-cight hours, ‘and sentence bim for contempt to solitary. cou- fnement on bread and water during the inter- Val.

It has been ascertained egal that there are one or two persons on H jury in whose family there bas been insuni- ty, who are more likely to be influenced on that Account by tno nature of the defense. THE TRIAL. PROCEEDINGS YESTERDAY. WasarxcTos, D. C., Nov. 26.—Upon the open- 40g of tho Criminal Court Scoville read a tele- Bram from Emery A.

Scoville said, under the circum- payor be would not insist upon an attachment peat Davidge, speaking for the prosecu- on, Was willing to have Storrs put upon the Stand any time during the progress of tho trial, Snd this understanding was accepted by all Parties: Thomas North then resumed the wit- i less-stand, and was cross-examined very close- 'y and at great length by Davidge. Guiteau in- ‘lerrupted at tho very outset and protested there ma notruth in witness’ story. [Witness was red Questioned in relation to a tight between Re ane and his father, Luther W.

I'm satisfied." GEN. LOGAN'S EVIDENCE. ‘The next witness was Senator John A. Lozan, of HMlinois, As he was sworn, the prisoner greeted him with, * How are. you, Mr. Senator? Iam gladtosee you." But the greeting met no response. Tho witness detailed two fnterviews he had with the prisoner. The first wus about the 12th or 35th pf March last. The prisoner came to his room uninvited. He did not know who he was. ‘The first thing the prisoner did was-to pull a pumphlet out of bis pocket and hand {t to the Wituess, saying it was a speech he had delivered in ube recent cunvuss, and usked the witness to read it. The witness declined to read it at thet time, but he would take pleasure in reading it” afterwards. It was a speech entitled “Gar- field) against Hancuek. The prisoner then suid: “That speech elected’ Gar- field President of the United States." Ho then commenced talking about the position he “desired, suying he had the promise of an up- pointment-as Consul-General to France. He said ho had seen Secretury-of-Stato Blaine, who promised him this appointment, provided he could get Senator Logan's recommendation. The witness said: “Ido not know you, and cannot recommend you.” The prisoner theo ‘went on to say be resided in Chicago, aud was a constituent of the witness, and the witness WAS UNDER OBLIGATION TO RECOMMEN MIM. He also told the witness he had been toNew York during the canvass, to sce the Republican Nutionat Committee there in regard to entering the campaign. He said the President was.a Triend of bis, and hg had seen Geo. Gartield somewhere, not in Washington; that he was satisfied the President wus favorably dis- posed to bis appointment, und he would ket it, especially if ho (the wit- ness) would recommend him. The witness again declined. Tse prisoner then tevk out of Yes pocket a sheet of foolseap with about turee lines written very close to the top. Itwas a recommendation for his appointment. He wanted the witness to sigu it, but the witness declined, and got rid of him as soon as he could. Question—Why ? Answer—ile did not strike me as a person whom 1 would recommend for an oljice of that cburacter, or any other oftice, Itreated him as kindly and politely as I could but was very desirous of getting rid of him. I did not want to be annoyed witn him. us there anything particularly notice- able in his appearance 7? A.—He was rather pe- culiarly clad for tha season, there being snow on the street ut the time. He hadon his feeta pair of sandals, or rubbers, or something of that kind. HE HAD NO STOCKINGS. He wore a light pair of pantaloors, and a com- mon, ordinury coat. A day or two afterwards he came to my room, uninvited. He still in- sisted on my signing his recommendation, re- iterating the sxme statement as before, of bis having the promise of a place if 1 would recom- mend bim.. I again declined. I had, in the meantime, out of courtesy, read the speech. He wasn little more excited at the second inter- viow than at the first. The second was a very short interview, for I tried to dis- pose of the matter as quickly 23 pos- sible, I suid to him: “The first time 1 see the Secretary of Stute 1 will mention your case to him.” {did not say L would recommend him, but simply that I would mention bis case, and. intended to do so, but. probably-in a dif- fercut way from what be supposed I would. Q.—From what you saw of the prisoner on those occasions, and from what was sad and done by him, did you form an opinion 2s to his IAM NOT AN 2 and do not know whether I should question. “ne Court—You may give an opinior in ac- cordance with your observation. ‘The witness—I thought there was some de- rangement of his mental organization, but to what extent 1 could not say. Wnen l went down to breakfast that morminz I saw him at the tuble asaboarder. Icalled the landlady and asked her if she knew that gentleman. She mentioned his nitme and said he bad told her be was a con- stituent of mine. Q.—What was your expression of opinion to the landiady that time? A.—Ii said this: * 1av not think he isa proper person to have in your boarding-house.” She asked'why. I said: “I think he is a little of in his head,” or some language of that kind, She asked me what [ meant, and I said J thought be wus a littlecrazy, and she bad better not have bim in ber board- ing-house, That is about the coaversation we had at that time. A ‘The cross-exammination @as very brief, and new points were developed. DONE BY US BOYS. Edmund E. Smith, employed in the Repunlic- an National Committce rooms during the tate Presidential campaign, thought Guiteau very peculiar, flighty, and rambling in conversation. Guiteau here interjected bis customury com- ments. * ‘This gentizman wasn't in’ position to know about matters there. He was only x clerk apsway. Gov. Jewell, ex-Senator Dorsey, und the rest of us boys were the oues that did the work there.” JOHN A. MORSE, colored, attorney-ut-law, saw Guiteau at the White House during Murch and April; took him to be a erazy man, MRS. SCOVILLE then took the stand and gave 2 biographical sketch of Guitean's life, commencing witn his early childhood.- While’tho direct examination was stillin progress the court adjourned until Monday. The witness stated that when Charics was 32 years old be Itved with the wituess for a year in Chicago, where he went to schuol. She recol- lected nothweg special about him then, except that he was very affectionate, and she was very much attuched to him. Five or six years later he went to. Aun Arborto attend school. She went to Ann Arbor to sce him, as she bad been informed how he was- going on—woree than his father ever hud done. She found he bad abandoned his studies, and wus giving his whole time and attention to studying the Berenn and the publications. ot the Oncida Community. She argued with nim for a whole evening, appealing to him to go on quietly, like other young meu, and give up all that stuf. Her appeais bad no effect upon him, however, and she made up ber mind he was crazy. She told her uncle, who lived at Ann Arbor, to pay no more attention to him, but !et him go his own way, as be was * clear gone.” She after- wards visited him at the Oneida Community, but hardly bad any conversation with him, as they were not left alone a moment together. She noticed be acted like a person who’ had been be- wildered, struck on the bead, or had purtly lost his mind. ‘The Prisoner—I bad been there three years at that tie, end was RIGUT IN TUE HEART OF THEM FANATI- cls: I. The witness went cn to relate the prisoner's history, including his udmission to: the bar (at which she was very much surprised), bis mar- riage. and his sepanttion from his wife, down to the time he visited ber in Wisconsin, in 1875. She noticed then u great change in bis personal ap- pearance. He was also very bard to get along with, and used togetin a “ bifalutin”’, state. He seemed willing to do anything be was told, but got very much befuyzed, and could not do it. She reluted the incident of his attacking her with an ax. She had given him no provocation, but had got out of patience with him, It wus not the ax that frightened ber so much as: it was the Jovk of his face. He looked like a wild criminal SUBPGNAED.

C., Nov. 26.—Hx-Speaker Randall bas arrived here. He thinks that the Democratic tioanclal policy ia this coming Con- gress will be what it was in the last. He has not changed his views in any particular. “He be- lieves that the vetoof the Funding bill wasa fatal mistake for the Republican party, The 4 per cent bonds now, be says, have very nearly reached the figure when they are the equiva- ient ag an investment of 3 per ceut bonds, and, if the. higher-priced bonds are to be wied by purchase, ag, in view of the surplus revenue in tho ‘Treasury, he thinks they ought to be, there could be-no doubt that capital would largely geek tho 3 per cent investment, There uro millions of money on cat! today on Wall street, he is sure, which would be readily invested in adper cent bond at par. As to the surplus revenue, he says business is being greatly in- jured by the vast sum of MONEY LOCKED UP IN THE. TREASURY. It must come out. There are atleast 130,000,000 of it that ought to find its way iuto circulation. Mir. undell would put this money out by the re- deimption, first, of the 6 per cents, which can be called in in thirty days, and next. by the retire- ment of the 58, which are payable ufter three months’ notice. The Government has it in its power to stop. the interest on the bonds, and of course tue bonds then would nolongercomniand any considerable premium. Mr. Renaall—and be doubtless speaks for a large class—believes not only thet the lurge surplus revenue should be paid out of the ‘Treasury, but he thinks a law should be enacted providing that, except as to a certain specified number of liabilities, che Treasury. should not require tou keep more than “5 per cent reserve uguinstall classes of Havilities. At present the reserve in the Treusury fs not only 40 per cent of the liability represented by United Sidtes notes, but fs 100 per cent of all the other liubilities, Mr.. Randal! agrees with the Treasurer of the United. States, that whatever percentage of reserve will protect the United States notes will protect the other lia- bilities. The percentage of. reserve of tho out- standing United States notes bas avernged 41 per cent since 1870. At present the total perceat- uge of surplus cash to the United States notes is 40 per cent, while the percentage of the total eash to tota! linbilities is 5! per cent. Mr. Randall thinks that. for most classes of liabilities, 25 per cent reserve 1s entirely adequate. Should a law providiaz for such a percentage be passed, a very large amount of moucy would be realized from the reserve, and be transterred to the side of the surplus revenue. FOLGER’S COMPUTATIONS. To the Western sissociated Press. WAsnINcTos, D.C., Nov. 2s.—The computa- tion recently ordered by Secretary Folger, with a view of ascertaining the premium which might be paid by the Government for the 412 and 4 per -eent bonds, and still protect tho Government from loss, bas been completed, and shows that the Government cannot buy the 43 bonds and the ds at tho, present market rate without loss, as compared with the cull of 3733.

It is understood the oflice bus been tendered toa gentleman of bigh standing in commercial cir- cles of New York City. THE CONGRESSMEN. ILLINOIS. Spectal Disnatch to The Chicago Tribune. Wasuincron, D. C., Nov. 26.—The only Minois members who. have thus far arrived are Kepre- sentatives ‘Davis, of Chicoyo, and Cunnon and Henderson. ‘Che names of the three, at different times, have been mentioned in councction with the Speakership contest, und Gen. Henderson ut one time has been spokeu of very favorably. He now has very many friends, but it does not appear that he ig organizing uny cauvass. If tho Allinois delegation shall be disposed to unite in favor of one of their own members, in the miul- tiplicity of cundidates. from the West and the great struggle between the two sections, Illinois possibly might have a chance. At present, how- ever, tho State .can hardly be considered in the field, At least, if any organization has been commenced on behalf of any one from Illinois, it hus been_kept very secret. SOME FIFTY MEMBERS of tho House of Representatives have arrived since Thanksgiving, a majority of them Repub- Neans, and the Speakersbip contest may now be considered as having fairly begun... The differ- ent candidatesdo not this morning give any more detinit reusons for tueir contidence. The contest for the Clerkship has not fairly opened yet. Mr. Rainey, the colored ex-Congresswman from South Carolina, very much. desires tho position, and thinks that the purty should givo itto him, inasmuch as he was their Inst caucus noutinee, but there isa general impression that Mr. Edward McPherson will receive the place. The supporters of Mr. UWiscock have received gome encouragement today from a report thut two of the Obiodelegation—Townsend of Cleve- land and McKiuiey—have aetermined to vote for Hiscock. This, if it proves true, will be a serious blow to Keiter's candidacy, and will give Hiscock an impetus in the West, whigh hitherto has been wanting. ae STAR ROUTES. Itis evident, from tho talk of Congressmen who havo arrived here, particularly from the- ecction where the star mail routes exist, that they are by no meanssatisfied with the economies which Postmaster-General Jumes has sccom- plished in that service. and that they will use all efforts in their power to secure a return of many of the important Jincs of star-route sorv- ice which huve ‘been discontinued. The matier undoubtedly will be brought up in Congress, when the whole subjéct of the star routes will doubtless be debated. One of the direcnons which the opposition will take wilt be the intro- duenon of 2 resolution directmg the Postmas- ter-General to discontine no more star-route service itil Congress bus had time to exanine the subject. It is very possible that a new Post- muster-General would welcome such a resolu- tion. : i THE GREENBACKERS are here, working every point for some advant- age. They are trying to make atrade with the Republicans to elect De La Matyr, of Indiana, Clerk of: the House, in exchange for Greenback votes for Speaker. Greenback agents have talked with all the candidates for Speaker, try- ing to make this trade with each one, but it has not been consummated yet. H.Martin Williams.of Sussourl, has received a letter from Congressman Brunn, of Penusylvania, in which he says that all reports that’ he will go into the Republican caucus are untrue; that he is a Greenbacker, and will stand by his party first, last, and all the time; that he did not vote the Republican ticket at the Iast’election in Pennsylvania, but voted the Greenback ticket; that he will not vote. for. any Republican candidate for Speaker, but will insist. in putting oa Greenback - member in_ the field. It now looks as If tho Greenback members will stand together at first and try to compel the recognition they demand in exchange for their votes. Some of them have intimated that they will run Belford, of Colorado, for Speaker, and that he would accept thelr nomination, but Belford’s friends here say there {s not a word of truth In this, that he is a§ stanch a Republican as ever. ONE CORRESPONDENT’S IDEA OF THE SITU- ATION. To the Western Assoctated Press. Wasninctos, D.C., Nov. 26.—A survey of the field shows that the geographical line rung through the contest, and that-the several divis- ions into which the Republicans are now divided wili ultimately be massed into two grand divis- ions that will be known respectively as the Eust andthe West. The West can nominate their unan if the Western Representatives can be held on the sectional line, because it is pretty cer- tain that 1 majority of ten Southern votes will Ro to the Western candidate. But can the sqe- tiqnal issue be successtully maintained? Keifer, Kasson, Dunnell, and other Western as- pirants ; alfect to ‘believe that it can and will, and the Pacific Slope men under tho leadership of Page, of California, say that it must be successtully mujotained if the Great West is to receive.the recognition that is demended by her great political impor- tance and her greater material interests. - WISCOCK leads the others in his present strength, and will likely have sixty votes on the first ballot, Keifer, of Onio, is not only 2 strong candidate, but bis canvass is being managed by some of the oldest and ablest of Republican members. He will start with the fifteen votes of his State, and at least fifteen others from the States west of the Missouri River, His friends claim for him ten votes from the South, and he is likely to receive a few votes from other States Robeson, of New Jersey, is an eurnest supporter of Keifer, and bas been very effective in his in- terest. On the firat ballot, REIFER : is likely to receive 40 votes, Whether the scat- tered forces of the West will be consolidated on Keifer or Kusson, after the first ballot, is an un- known problem, and upon its solution hinges not only the retirementof ono of these two gen- tlemen, but the final result of the contest. From present Indications the success of Hiscock may be predicted, but the continuance of Keifer as aleading opponent would press the New York member pretty close. HKASSON will start with the nine votes of Iowa, and may receive twenty votes on the first ballot..Kaeson possesses marked ability, is a ready debater, has had many years’ experience in the House, is thoroughly versed in the rules,is a cool-headed, adroit, and dashing leader, 1s quick to percelve parliamentary advantage, and swift to improve it. Singular tosay, the very qualities that arc universally conceded tohim are being used to prevent his election to the Speakership. It is urged that the closeness of the majority in the House, and the necessity for .a competent leadership on the Republican side to meet the strong array that will be presented by the Democracy, makes it more important thut Kasson should lead the House on the floor than to direct its business from the Speaker's chair? There is considera- ble force in this presentation of the case, and many members who would like toe vote for Kusson will refrain from doing’so trom a senso of duty to the Republican party, and join in the belief that the brilliant lowa member can serve his country best by assuming the leadership of his party on the floor, ON COUNTERFEITERS. THER CHEER. Spectal Dispatch’ to The Chicago Tridiine. Wasninctos, D. C., Nov. 26.—E. W. Spencer, alias Brockway, the counterfeiter, who left Doyle in the lurch, has started out ina new ling of business. Cusilear, Superintendent of En- graving for the Government, speaking of him today, said: ‘* These counterfeiters are a queer people. They are astudy. Ihuve studied them, aud pronouuce cheek tobe thetr leading charac- teristic. Look here. ‘This [picking up an en- velope from the table in front of him] is a tet- ter from E. W. Spencer, alias Brockway. Brock- way, he is a preiminent man of the ‘queer.’ He, you will remember, wus in tue big Chicago bond business of some months ago. Now he writes to me to give big address in New York, andusks that I will aseist him in the preparation of a check for the Nanonal banks which he has in- vented, or, rather, gotten up, and which ho thinks it is Impossible to counterfeit, and will, therefore, be a great safeguard to banks. From hisexperience, I should say that he has gotten up a check wheck which he atone could counterfeit, but he wants me to assist him. He says that he would like me, among other things, tu do some little work for him upon this check. He makes this request naively, aud evidently with the full assurnuce that I will comply. He offers to put forward first-class security that he will pay for all the work that I do for him. Of course, I will not comply with his request, but it shows HE CHEEK OF THE COUNTERFEITER, ‘There is a free-masonry among the more expert counterteiters. 1t does not extend, however, tothe inferior men of the craft. The experts will always help one another when in trouble to the very extent of their means. And do not think that the expert counterfeiter is without influence. He is up onc day aud may be down the next. When he. is “flush” he spends his money freely: He makes friends thereby, and 18 shrewd enough to make influential friends, It the time comes that he is up for his crime be has friends at court. His free use.of money has made them. He even has friends inside the court, and some- times on the bench.. It is owing to this shrewd game of the counterfeiter that there are com- paratively so few convictions. Where he is givon to the law, the counterteiter is no man's fool. - CHILI AND PERU. VIEWS OF THE ADMINISTRATION. Wasu1nGtos, D, C., Nov.26.—A high otlicial of the United States Government will enter a re- monstrance against the policy pursued by Chili toward Peru, and intimate in strong terms that this Government cannot look on quictly.and'see the Peruvian Government divested of ail its power asa nation, and that the time bas come tor Chili to cense its folicy of humiliating Peru, and forcing her into a position where she can- not recover. It is believed an opinion will also be expressed that’ our Government regards the terms exacted of Peru as-both oppressive and unjust, and confidently expects some, modera- ton in the policy now pursued by: Chili towards her conquered foe. -In regard to the action of MINISTERS KILPATRICK AND HURLLUT, ana the unfortunate quarrel in which they have become engaved, it is learned that supplement- ary letters of instruction have already been forwarded to each which will ndjust tbe differ- ences, and enable the Miuisters to comprehend more clearly their dutics and tho policy to bo pursued in reference to exch of the Govern- ments, Itis understood Judge Bancroft Davis will enter the State Department with Freling- huysen'as Assistant Secretary, relieving Hitt, who will be given another position; and the va- cancy thus created on the Court of Claims Bench will be filled by the appointment of Secretary Huot. HASHAGEN. THE BALLOONISI’S REPORT. Wasnixatos, D. C., Nov. 26.—Hashagen, of the Signal-Service Corps, who made a builoon ascension from Chicago, has submitted a writ~ ten report giving an account of the trip and experiente, but does not enter mioutely into his scientitie discoveries. After giving an ac- count of the ascension, the roport eays: “At 6:85 p. m., at an elevation of 4,300 feet above the sea level, we arose above the lower cur- rent, “and .secmed in contrast to be be- calmed, but-very slowly moving westward. ‘There muy have been nota calm but adiminu- tion of buoyancy vccasioned by entering o stratum of air in which the weightof the balloon equaled the weight of the air displaced, and continuing to move In this stratum until curried out by the increase of density or force of yeloc- ity. Friday morning the balloon passed over Platte Mounds, and circulated among the mounds as though drawn‘ py force of inspiration, and kept'us a half an hour dancing: in circular attendance, when we were compelled ta use ballast toescape. This was probably due to cur- rents of cold air circulating in the vailey, and, Perhaps, in a greater measure, to THE FORCE OF GRAVITY exercised by the mounds. From 11:50. m. to 12:45 a. m. we continued rising, and reachea our highest elevation, 9,600 feet, at 12:45 a. m., pass- ing all the while through a solid mass of stratus and nimbus clouds, over 9,600 feet in thickness, ‘At allelevations sounds could be plainly heard and distinguished. . At 9,500, a steamboat whistle was heard as plainly as thouch a block distant. At 12:5 p. om. - we began to rapidly descend, falling for everal minutes at the rate of 500 feet per minute. At about 1:30 p. m. we found ourselves floating over a small swift-renning riyer. and could plainly hear falls below us. High pines on'either side of the river formed walls, hem- ining in the current-of nir, so we sailed up tho middle of the stream about ten or fifteen feet abovethe water. After sailing in this way for about a quarter of an bour, an opening on the west bank was reachod, into which the balioon sailed.. Not more than a ‘half mile from the river Was a cranberry ‘bog, into which we descended and collapsed the balloon.” The re- Port then wives an account of the .difiiculties ia getting ‘out of the bog, which particulars have been published, ‘ A. M. GIBSON. THE OFFICIALS ARE ‘t DOWN ON HIM.” Wasitxatox, D. C., Nov. 26.—A. M. Gibson, who made a report on the star route cases, has written a long letter to Acting-Attorney-General Phillips, in whieb he says the Chief Clerk-of,the Department of Justice states, in a letter to hini, that there is nothing of record in the Depurt- ment of Justice to authorize the title appended to the signature to the report—Special Assistant Attorney for the United States. Mr." Gibson gives a detailed history of - bis connection with the cases, says he was invited to assist in the prosecution by the Attorney-General and Post- muster-General, and with tne approval of the President. Gibson further says: “The At- torney-General, Noy. 14, airected me to submit the report to the Postmaster-General. The Postmaster-General wave directions to haye the report printed as part of his annual. report, and designated where the same was to appear—immediately after the report of the Second-Assistant Postmaster-Geoeral—and Col. George Bliss was fully aware of the fact that had prepared the report, and informed me he would stand behind it. I respecttully suggest that you, at as carly a date us practicable, com- municate with the Attorney-Generul on the subject; and if he agrees with my statement of facts and circumstances, that you will direct the Chief Clerk to make a record of my employment as Special Assistant Attorney for the United States.” = Ty REPLY the acting Attorney-General anid: “The title assumed by you is justitied by nothing on the records, and which can be justified in no otner way. There ts vcither commission nor oath of office upon the tiles of this department, and both are necessary to the creation of an Assistant At- torney of tha United States.” NOTES. THOMALEN. Spectal Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. ‘Wasurncton, D.C., Nov. 26.—Collector Har- vey spent the day here on his return from New York. There having been some question raised as to the payment of the reward of $500 for the capture of Thomaten, he made some inquiries aboutit, and the Secretary of the Treasury will doubtless order it paid without contest. It is expected that Thomalen will appear in Chicago on Dec. 19, to which time he was bailed under $5,000. If he does not,his bail is said tobe good, and if he should undertake to forfeit bis bail it is not probable that he will be able to escape the vigilanco of tho United States officers.
