The New Cincinnati Posto Mce.
An unsuccessful effort having been
made to ind uce the Secretary Of the
Treasury to rescind the order for the
sale of the buildings on the site OF the
projected new Postofflce at Cincinnati

those who desire to have the order re-
scipded are to have resolution passed
by the House, probably. tomorrow, dlA
recting the Secretary 10 couutermand
his order. This will be done with a
view 10 preventing work from
being commenced on the Clncln-
natl building Tor the osiensl-
BILE purpose OF covering into the
Treasury such funds as may be now
available, to avoid the necessity OF
making further appropriations to carry
on the work. The Secretary OF the
Treasury regards this as a case in
which work is really begun. and looks
upon it as being without the scope e'
tbe decision of the House Committee on
Public. Baildings and Grounds that
work shall only continue on Govern
meut buildings already in actual course
Of construction. Should the House
adopt such q resolution as that above
mentioned, Secretary Richardson would
probably feel obliged to apply the rule
laid down by it to other csses, in some
OF which work is in more advanced
state than at Cincinnati.
