Chicago Custom House,

WASHINGTON, August 24.-The SeCre-
tHry Of the Treasury to-day addressed a
letter Of instructions to the commissioners
just appointed by him to inspect the
Chicago Custom House building, In which
he recognizes the need Of the OF the early
completion Of this simportant public work
not only to the government but to the
prosperity and business interests Of the
city Of Chicago; and at the same time he
recognizes the responsibility resting upon
the department, and the paramount duty
Of preventing the sacrifice Of a
large sum Of public money upon work
which may possibly not be safely
completed. Tho appropriation for the
building, was two million of dollars,
For these reasons he has determined to
COnide to tho Commissioner the review
Ofthe former conflicting reports as the hlIs
Is Of action for the department, or for
information to COngreSb,And that their In.
vestigation may be full and accurate.
Their attention is invited to the follow
Ing points To the nature and condition
Of tho foundation Of the building, this be-
Ing Of tho first and paramount import.
ancc, and that by oil such tests
and applications In mechanics and
engineering As may be advisable
and necessary they will ascertain and re.
port whether 1t be Of the proper level on
hrm ground and Of adequate strength in
all respects to support the building pro-
posed TO be erected on II, and II not, how
and in what and at what probable cost
the defects in the foundation may be re.
lieved.
Second - To the nature and quail
ity Of the stone out Of which the ediIlce

the durability, strength and other quail
ties desirable for such n structure.
Third-T'o the indications shown ofthe
suiliciency or otherwise OF stone and other

Fourth.-Whetler any change in the
plans or material to be used in the con.
strnction Of the building should be made,
and II so, what, giving an estimate Of the
probable cost Of such change, and adding
such suggestions rs will give practical
effect to the conclusions they may rcuch in
connection with the whole matter thus
conIided to them.
Entertaining confidence in their inlClli.
gence, impartiality and qualifications to
discharge these duties, the Secretary
hopes they will as a commission effect an
organization and proceed at once to
Chicago and patiently and thoroughly In
vestigate the matters confded to them, in.
forming themselves by all such means MS
they may deem proper to adopt, as we'll
as by their personal examination.

A POSITIVE CuRE.-The new cure for
vugranCy (new in this country, but old
across the ocean, works like charm. 1t
has been very generally adopted through
out New England, New Jersey, and in
parts Of New York most infested by
tramps. In all these sections Of country
tramps arc arrested at sight, and unless
able to give a satisfactory account oil
themselves are committed to Jail for ten
or more days under statutes which I'M
fortunately have been too long allowed
to become obsolete. The vagrant gets
plenty Of wholesome food, but is Obliged
10 work little for it; and it is the
latter disagreeable peculiarity Of his
confinement which effects the cure SO
much desired by the community, il not by
the patient On being released from jail
he takes the shortest cut out Of that neigh
borhood, and never appears there again,
The tramping fraternity seem to keep
we'll informed on the state Of the jails
throughout the country, for they are now
steering clear Of those localities where the
laws against vagranCy are rigidly en-
forced. This is the experience Of the
principal rural towns In New England and
New Jersey, and 1t may be now accepted
as a truth, that q prompt and decided APP
plication 0fthe law against a few yagrants
as they come along is the only method Of
abating n great nuisance.
