Special Dispatch to Tun Ben, GOLD CERTIFICATES IN CHICAGO, WasniNaToN, March 23,—The act- Ing secretary of the treasury has re. cetved & communication from officers of several banks in Chioago asking that gold ocertificates issued by the assistant United States treasurer of that olty be made to bear some mark of Ideutificatlon; that gold received therefor b held to redeem such ocer— {1ficates and no others; that the ussisc. ant treasurer in Ohicago bes snpplied with a reasonable amount of both large ard small certlficates, and that the differont denominations be inter- changeable. The acting secresary re- plied that it is not deemed expedient to place distinotion marks on current serieaof gold certificates for the purposs of identifying them as an {ssue of the Chicago office; that such mark would, in his oplaioh, lead to complications, and tend to discredit these certificates in other citles, where they might go. The department is not at present pre- pared to authorize the lssue of a dls- tintive nerles for Ohlcago alone, since that{would involvethe question of sepa- rate and distinot series for each sub- treasury. If, however, the bankers of Chicago wish to exchange ono de- nomination of certificates for another, aud will 8o inform him, the depar ment, in view of existing circam- stances, will cau:e the Chicago sub- treasury to be supplicd with g.1d cer- tificates of a smaller denomination and anthorlze the desired exchaugs, SALARTES OF POSTMASTERS The postoflice department has al- ready received and filed for examina- tion a large number of clalms of postmasters who are entitled to in- creased salary under the provision of the readjustment aci known as ‘‘The Spaulding bill” passed at the last ses- slon of congress. An attorney repre- senting a number of these postmas- ters, now in Washington, has made an nformal argument in their behalf at the postoffice department, main. taining that the | ncrease of salarles provided for by the act may proj be paid out of the regular appropriztion for salaries for the curzin: fiscal yeiv, Officers of the department asser: that the law providing for the readjamut- ment of postmuasters salaries cannot be carried into effect without specific ap- propriation, that to pay the amount of increase of salaries out of the regu- lar appropriation bill would create s large deficiensy. Ic is the intention of the department to begin the work readjusting of salaries under the two cent postage low as provided for in ::“l “‘Bingham bill” ws soon as pot- ble. THREE IN THE RING Itis n:lportod the Investigation b; the grand jury of the evidence con- cerning Brady, star routeloontraccor, Prlce, and ex-Senator Kellogg will be continued Monday.

It is understood that application will now be made for indictment of Kel- logg based not aluse upon the testi mony of Walsh, but also upon that of Prico and others. Ker, who pre- sented the evidence to the grand jury yesterday, holde that the prosecution will not be barred by the statate of limitations as held by & lawyers in- terested in tho defense of the star route defendanta.

Prize has made ¢ffilavic now in possession of the grovernment where- in he alleges he on one occeslon gave Brady $2 600 io a postal drafs, to- ether with $2 500 in cash to corrapt- Fy influence Brady's official action.

The firat intimation re- celved by the company that anything was wrong was & note from Marston confessing his gullt. The examination of the books of the concern show the extentand manner of thefrauds, Mars ton was intereat clerk, his duties being to receive all iaterest from money loaned by the company and place 1t in the bank., When {uterest drafts were received in the « ffiva, the proper re- celpts were matled and the drafis iven to Marston to put ia the bank. %u case the drafts were upon private bankers, it was Marston's custom to get the money for them and pocket it, taking an amount in proportion to the day’s receipts Sometimes he took as muchas $1,000 at a time. He had control of the books contalning the lists of checks and drafts and manag- ed to conoeal his embezzlements, un- til, finding discovery inevitable, ran away. [I'he company has submitted the case to the district attorney and it is supposed Maraton will be indloted and arrested if he can be caught. Marston entered the Equitable Trust oompary's employ in 1873 when a boy of 15, rislog step by step. He was not known to live extravagantly, and the fact that he kept several horses and carriages at his place in Plainfield, N. J., was accounted for upon the score of private means, The cflicors of the company are unable so far to find out where the stolon money is or went to. Rostitution of a emall part of the money has been made, and feom the defaulter's property at Plainfield a tew thousands wiill be re- alz:d. The company does not know where Marston is at present. Heisa marrled man with a family. The Equitab'e Trust company is a wealthy corporation, having a capital of $1,- 500,000, ard loaning the money upon mortgages chiefly in the west. The loes will not affect the company’s standing in the least. THE REMAINS OF PAYNE. Hono:s to the Dust of the Sweetest 7 of Songsters.

There is now but littlo government land here, and not much of it is owned by the rallroad company, but thera Is yeot a fine chance for men of small means to secure good homes upon easy terms, and settlers are comiog in rapidly Our farmers are year by year turn- fny; their attention mors to cattle and hows than formerly, and as a conse- quence are making more money. A fow years ago wheat was the principal arop here, but now oorn takes tho lead, and a Iarge part of each year's crop i fed 1o the connty and sent out In the form cf beef and pork.

Buckloy, of this olty, at 6 cents per bushel. That Is a practical leas- ing ot the shaft, and at a rid!calously low rate, thus creating a monopoly and depriving the state of the profits to be made out of the coal business at the penitentiary, The figures show that in another year the working of this coal shatt would make the penitentlary self.supporting, but by contracting all the surplus coal, about 50,000 bushels per month, to one Y-rly, at such a low price, that desirable result is made impossible, avd the money that should be made for the benefit of the state and the loworlng of taxes goes into the pock- ots of private apeculators, who are at the same time given power to control the local coal market by combining with the city shaft. The matter Is electlon to the fact that he was on a str ng ticket and the opposition was divided between two other candidaves, one of whom came within a few votes of being elected. The contest here next fall for the county offices promises to be llvely; oand the pins are already being set for the campaign. When Tiffany resigned the county judgeship thes office was given to Hon, Joseph Hamilton, in order to get him out of the' way of John Peters, who wants to run for clerk agiin. Hamilton might have proved roubletome to John and so a gop was thrown to him to keep him quiet. The present treasurcr, Bollman, goes out and Col. Senator Harris is the coming republican candidate. The sonator has endeared himeelf to Judge Tiffany and his friends by his man!- pulations of the bill redistricting the state judiclally. This work was done by Harris for the sole purpose of makiog aplace fora man who can’t never get the vosition except' by ap- pointment, and who will hold it only till the 1st of Janunary 1884, GRANGER, THE OLD WORLD.
