WAiniNOTON, D. C., March 11—Thu probabili
ties now nre that Mr. Charles H. Ham, Appraiser
of the Fort of Chicago, will bo continued Inolllco.
The movement against him thus far has been
unsuccessful. Polaohok uml Kuhn nro tbo only
candidates who have yet appeared. Polnchok Is
not fairly started, while Kuhn finds that bis
Oblo intliicnco Is nut likely lo prove of much
value, and ho Is not going to sccuro ouy help
from Chicago. Kurwoll and Logan arc both un
derstood to favor of tho retentlun of Hum,
whose olllcu has been excellently well adminis
tered, and against whom nothing can bo said.
THE MAUSHALSHIP.
For tbo Northern District of Illinois tho con
test over tbo Marshalsbip Is not yet ended, and
It Is stated to-day that a conclusion will not bo
reached until Tuesday. Both sides nro still con
fident ot success, but Stillwell's friends donut
have tho unbounded assurance that “Lung”
Jones himself hits. Tbo latter is placing his
contest squarely on what ho calls tbo old light,
sad to those whom bo approaches with a view to
Mcurlngsupport ho uses arguments which would
Induce an Impartial observer to think that tbo
Springfield Convention was still in session, and
that the National Convention In Chicago bad not
net.
ITILLWELL’B IMMEDIATE FRIEND 3 LACK
CONFIDENCE,
perhaps for tho reason that tboy seem to think
that Stillwell Is urged not so much on bis own
merits as because ho is tho most available can
didate to defeat Jouos. A day or two ngo thoro
was talk of a compromise candidate, but It can
not bo learned to-ulght that thoro Is any pros
pect of an agreement between tho principal
contestants, illldrupls reported even to Imvo
bad hope that. In consequence of tho bitter light
being made over his head, be might ultimately
be retained. Bherwln certainly is making un
earnest struggle In illldrup's interest, but it will
be very Improbable If he should bo retained.
Tho Committee representing Mr. Isham here is

port of tbo two Wisconsin Senators and
of several members of tho Wisconsin del
egation in the House. Tboy have re
ceived to-day telegrams from Chicago directing
them to remain bore. Meanwhile tholr greatest
apprehension seems to bo tho rumor, which Is
constantly put forth and apparently believed by
tho Ohio mqn. that thoro is really a prospect
that Stanley Matthews will be again nominated.
This rumor thus fur docs not appear to have any
better foundation thou the holies of tbo very

A DEMOCRATIC OPINION.
Sp«lal Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune.
Washington, d. C., March Iff.—Tho Washing
ton /VsMDqmocrntlc organ) bus tho following
editorial upon ibo appointment of Hobert Lin
coln as Secretary of War:
“ One thing cnirbe said In hla favor, and, con
sidering his temptations and allurements, It Is a
good deal to say that he tins never traded in the
great name or reputation of his father. Ko fur
ns his life has come to tho knowledge of tho
public It has been decorous, manly, und unas
suming. Wo buvo beard a great deal of tho
Douglas hoVs, and nothing, we regret to sav,
very good of thorn; but us for Mr. Llneolu,
whatever participation he has had in polities
HAS MADE HIM NO ENEMIES
nor brought him tho slightest censure. He will
doubtless make as good a Secretary of Warns
Mr. McCrary or as cx-Sunator Butusov, and,
taken nil In uli, bis appointment is onu taut will
probably grow in favor with all classes. It may
also be said In his favor that ho la yet a.voting
man; that bis npimlutmont enmo without solic
itation; that, having been relieved from tho ne
cessity of lying his way Into olllue, bo can utTord
to ho straightforward and liberal wlillo hold
ing it.”
ONE OF THE MOST EMINENT REPUBLICANS
of tho Pacific Coast said to-day, in speaking of
tho now Heorotaiy of War, that If Uoburt Lin
coln bore hlmsolr well for tho next four yours,
mid administered tho high ollleo to which bu had
been culled with marked ability and eminent
success, It was predicted by those who know
him best that it was not only amgng tho possi
bilities, mu tbo probabilities, that ho would yot
bo elevated to tbo Chief Magistracy of the Na
tion: that tho two Adamses wore at tho head of
tbo Nation for eight years, am) that stranger
things wero of record In history than that tho
two Lincolns should preside at tbo White House
for on equal period.
DISTRICT RONDS,
DISCOVERY OP THE REISSUE OF CANCELED
BONDS.
Special DUmteh to The Chicago TVthune.
Warrington, D. C., March Hi.—Some time slnco
tho discovery was nmdo that certain District se
curities, known as sower bonds, which had been
redeemed and cancelled, wore again upon tbo
market, and at tho least flll,OOO of them had
.been disposed of. Mr. lllteblo, of Akron, 0.,
was tho principal vlotlin, having invested in
District bonds, and among his purchases got
about SI,OOO of tho old bonds. Investigation
was made, and suspicion pointed strongly to J.
G. Farnbnm as tho party who sold the Fewer
certificates. In 1876 : bo was Chief Clerk of tho
Division for Old Material from Streets and Side
walks, under tbo Hoard of Audit, In which di
vision tbo bonds wore placed
AFTER BEING REDEEMED AND CANCELED.
Farnbam was finally found In tho Slug Slug, N.
Y., Penitentiary, and brought to this city. Yes
terday be was taken before tbo District Coin
mlsslonors and confessed that he took SII,QUO of
tbo bonds. At tbo timo that thoy wore taken
bo did not think of using any of tbom, but later,
being pressed for monoy, ho erased tho cancella
tion by moans of soap and resold tho bumfs to
three brokers for U 5 cents on tbo dollar. When
ho found that ho could get rid of thorn so readi
ly ho regretted that ho did not take SIOO,OOO
of thorn. Ho says that tbo stamp of cancel
lation was put on *so faintly that It was
removed without dlillculty. When asked If any
of tbo brokers know that tbo bonds were not
right, ho answered that ho wag not certain but
that
ONE BROKER KNEW THAT TUBY WEIIB
CROOKED.
Ho took tho bflnds In February or March, 1870,
mid placed them all within ttio ensuing throe
months. Ho made his statement freely, mid did
not think any person had abstracted any of tho
bonds but himself. After tho confession bad
boon made u consultation was bold with tho
United mutes District Attorney, and It was
found tbut Fumhain was beyond tbo roach of
prosecution. The crime was committed live
years since, and tho statute of limitation, oper
ating In bis favor, purmitted him to escape pun
ishment.

THE FRIENDS OP ISIIAM DISCOURAGED,
Special DUpatch to The Chicago lytbuni.
Washington, D. C., March 13.—Tbo friends of,
Jsham nro somewhat discouraged to-night ut
tho positive statement made by those who nro
very near to Stanley Matthews that the name of
tbo latter will bo sent to tbo Senate this week.
Tho pressure brought to boar upou President
Garfield has boon extraordinary. Mr. Matthews'
case has been put In n very strong light. Tho
following Is tho argument which seems to bavo
bad tbo most effect: Mr. Matthews claims that
bo was disgraced by not having been permitted
by tbo Scualo Committee to bo voted upon in
open Senate. Ho thinks tbut tbat non-notion
of tbo Judiciary Committee fixes a stigma upon
bis name which will bo lasting unless President
Garfield shall give him an oppqrlunlty for vin
dication In open Senate. A good many Inllu
outlul men, friendly to Matthews, have Indorsed
this position, and tbo argument has not boon
Without weight. Meanwhile Matthews' friends
have boon very busy endeavoring to pledge tbo
Senate to bis confirmation, and they now claim
tobuvo secured tho adequate number of votes.

Serial Dhpatch to The Chicago Tribune.
Si'iiiNaKiEi.D, 111., March hi.—Tbo action of
tbo Ucpiibllcnn llouso caucus last Thursday
night, in rolutlon to adjournment. Is by no
means a sure Indication of tho tenoral feeling
of tho Legislature upon that topic. Tho caucus
in question did nothing, although IhoUepub
licun Senators In tholr caucus afreet to adopt
tho Clark resolution providing for an adjourn*
meat from April 15 to Fob. IS, IH&i. Since Thurs
day nlKht tho matter has been discussed avast
deal. In fact, aside from certain Investigations
now pending, It tins boon tbo principal topic of
conversation, ns the question concerns not only
tho Legislature Itself, but tho Third House,
which has been and still Is gathering hero in
largo numbers.
Tho appropriations nro, of course, tho most
Important "straight" subjects of legislation.
The Senate Committee on this all-Impurtunt
topic Is. In particular, woll up In Its work, and
can send Its bills Into tho upper llouso within
two weeks at tho furthest. At least, so tho fat
and Jolly Chairman declares. Tho House Appro*
prhttlons Committee Isalso working rapidly. Tho
General Appropriation bill will bo reported In
Ibo Senate next week.
Tin: lIBSIOCItATIO POLICY
Is, of course, to delay appropriations, light on
minor details, work for dully adjournments, and
nin tho session us lung us possible, throwing the
blame therefor on tho majority, which is Hopub-
Dean In both Houses. Tills system of delay after
delay will bo used by tho Democracy for tbo next
two years os compnlgn buncombe. Hut tho
Republicans uro wide-awake on this point, and,
being In tbo majority, will move (ho. previous
question every time, thus cutting olf debate and
precipitating action. Unless the understanding
already hud, to follow up this go-uhoud pulley,
is rigidly adhered to, there wilt be tho usual
long and, in this case, Inexcusably protracted
session. Tho
APPORTIONMENT QUESTION
is not believed to bo as formidable a subject as
It at first appeared. There uro many old heads
hero who have tackled similar questions before,
and nearly every Republican Senator bus worked
out a scheme of his own on tho topic. They
agree In tbo main, and It looks as if this *• game
of fifteen " can bo eusllv solved.
There Is another reason, whluii may bo vague
ly biulod at. why (ho Legislature will adopt tho
Clark resolution. Tbo bottom la about to drop
out ol several matters which havu hitherto
called fur u great deal of attention, and it Is
strenuously insisted, among ibu Republicans,

PEACE IN THE HOUSE POST-OFFICE,
dpctlal Dispatch to Tht Chicago IMbunc.
BmuNaricuu, 111., March 13.—Tho little family
dllllculty 'ln the House Post-OUlco, referred to
nomo daya ago, bus quieted down, so fur as sur
face Indications would go to show, and a diplo
matic peace has given place to open war. Tho
Puatmsisler and bit young lady assistant, unable
to ugreo upon onythlog else, have agreed to dis
agree. The formrff holds tbo fort, however, and.
despite the murtuerlngs of tho assistant and
several of the more socially-inclined members
of the House, visitors are rutblcsly but very
properly barred out from tho inner preclnot*
during oQi& hours. Tbu result Is apparent la
tbu way the business of tbo olllco has been dis
patched. Letters are delivered mure promptly,
tho bills are not allowed to pile up oa the olllco
tables, And everybody but tbo aforesaid assist
ant, Iho petllo young woman from Chicago with
NMILES FOR AM. AND HOOK# FOR HALE,
nnd tho aforesaid aocliibto memlieit, who imvo
been unduly irlvou to swapping jams, smirking,
nnd giggling In tbo Poßimßstor’sballlwlck, seem
to be glad of tho change. True. Melven nnd bln
assistant nro not on term?,—thuigh tho former
regrets tho fnet nnd nllcirea Umt It I? not hi?
fault,—mid tho assistant refuses lo recognize It
ns n part of her duly to roll slumps to Iho mem
hen, nnd eon (lues herself to tho delivery of mnll
matter from tho boxes, nnd tho ether und com
mon duties of theodicy. Thu \ lilting and tbo
giggling, however, have hem transplanted
to the hill-room, to tho halls, nnd tho
rotunda, nnd tho Postmaster, ntnolved from the
worry mid tho nnnoyaneoof keeping open house
nnd rmmlmr tho newspaper und letter dis
pensary at one nnd tho samu time, ima Im
pressed tho average momberatn dllTorentsort
of person than he was formerly painled. Mel
ven at peace with tho world and all mankind—
burring his assistant—resembles Molv«;n us he
appeared u week or so ago, a good deal on May
does .1 itinmry.
THE JtOt.'OII CORNER# AND THE SEEMING
ANGULARITIES
Imvo disappeared, mid some of tho members
have so lareimngcd their opinions regarding
him as to no longer assent to Hie proposition
that no good enii eotno out of Egypt. Bo long
nail was given out that tho trouble between
Melven ami tils assistant grow out of the latter's
refusal to peddle stationery, they were almost
unanimous la tiio opinion that the young woman
was right, the stationery husineis being an ex
tra not down on tho hills. When It appeared,
however, on closer investigation, that the come
ly Assistant had refused lo sell postage
stumps,—a purtot Iho duties of tbo oillee.—and
hud so ret used hi splto of tbo fact Hint she
works about eight hours ft dnv to Melvun’s

that was u horse of another color, straightway

St'iiiNomn.n, HI., March 1).—1 am of opinion
that Tut: Triiium: misapprohends my position
on the llle-lnsiirancociuestlon. I inn tho author
of but one bill on the subject, and that provides
that tho net value of tho policy liability shall be
computed on tho basis of P per coat Interest.
Tho law now prescribes tho rate'at 4 per cent. It
was passed In IWi'.i. At that tune tho interest
vnluo of money was nearly double what It Is
now. Then the banks In Chicago and through
out Jho West were getting 10 per cent right
along, on tho best mercantile paper, and second
class paper could nut bo negotiated fur loss than
1-’ to 15 per cunt. Tho groat majority of tho
mortgages bore Interest at 10 per cent, with hero
ami thoro an exception at 8 per cent. Govern
ment bonds boro 5 and 0 per cunt interest.
CHICAOO C’OUI.I) ODTAIN NO MO.VKY
for less than 7 per cent interest. Now tho Gov
ernment Is getting ready to fund maturing
bonds Into new obligations bearing :i or ills per
cunt. Chicago 4 per cents are at a slight pre
mium. The bank rate for money Is 8 to 7 ner
cent, according to tho nature of tho loan,and
tho collateral olfcred, and mortgages of tho best
description will not bring more than Oner cent.
Is It reasonable to suppose that with this
marked decrease In tho value of money tho life
insurance cuimnmlcs can continue to Insuro
ouch your thousands of lives on tho basis of 4
percent, pay extravagant salaries to otlieers
|sco report of tho New York Legislative Investi
gation), and finally, at tho maturing of the pull
ey twenty years hence, nr probably sooner, pay
to tho representatives of tho de
ceased tho face value of tho policy?
I do not believe it Is possible,
and Ido not believe thoro Is a llfo-lnstmmco
manager In tho county who does.

than tho current Interest on Investments, have
proved failures.” ’
Mr. Wright for many years was tho Massa
chusetts Stale Actuary, mid his contributions to
Insurance literature uro regarded as being en
dowed with authority.’ If u 4 per cent reserve
were sulllclcut when money was worth from H
to It) per cent. Is It asking too much to Insist on
uP percent rule when money la worth only from
4 tod per cent, mid the Government 'Ms" sell

P)a percent? Voura respectfully.

Merchants* Exchange ibis afternoon und gave
them their views on tbo tjuoHUon, all of whom
opposed the movement on the ground tbut It
would Injure tbo commerce of Ibis city, Impose
unnecessary lux on Illinois farmers, und place
tbo Inspection of grain In the hands of u politic
al body instead of a commercial body, whore It
now Is. It seems to bo regarded here that tbo
proposition to put (ho inspection of grain at
East tit. Louis lu tbe bauds of Statu utllelals Is a
direct attack upon tho grain trade of this city,
uud is designed to discriminate against St. Louis
nnd tn favor of Chicago. and an effort will doubt*

that a partisan campaign should not bo made

been obtained for it A good many
of those arc Republicans. Those who
desire tbo defeat of Judge Mann
aro highly Incensed at this, and express a de
termination to reduttolo tholr elforis for his de

that tho temperance people will tiring
