INTERNAL, REVENUE CONSOLIDATION.

IBY TELEGRAPH rRIBUSE.l
WASHINGTON, June 11.-The Commissioner OF ln-
terpal Revenue has submitted to the Secretary of
tbs Treasury plan aud schedule for the consoiida-
tion of Internal Revenue districts which will form
the basis of the Secretars recommendations to the
President The plan, it is understood contemplates
8 reGucton of the number of districts from l26 to
ninety-two-a less reduction than that published IN
The TRIBUNE more than two months ago. Ii Is
evident, therefore, that the Commissioner OF Inter
nal Revenue does not recommend the extension of
districts so as to include two more States in the
same district.
There appears to be no reason why the oonsoiida-
ton should not be promptly effected soon as the
districts to be retained aud their boundaries shall
have been fixed. The necessary papers relating to
the claims for rebate account of the tobacco tax
have ali been prepared and forwarded, and nothing
else is required by the new law which was not re-
ouired by the old law 1t will only be necessary,
therefore TO define aud fix the responsibility OF the

those who are to remain in the serylce-on account

Federal Office by resignation.
The matter was brought to the attention OF the
President by the Secretary some time ago. and upon
tbe urgent application of General Keifer, Mr.. Furay
was selected as General Walcutps successor. 1t
appears however, that no commission was sent TO
Mr. Furay as the President and the Secretary were
both uncertain whether or not the district
xxonld be abolished in the proposed console
dation of internal revenue districts. A few

any other way than by suspeDding Collector wal

A POSTMASTER ORDERED TO RESIGN.

lBr TELEGRAPH TO THE TRiBUNEl
WASHINGTON, June lit is understood that
Senator Malone has ordered Postmaster Rue. of
Norfolk to resign his place. The reason for this is
probably the uncertainty as to whether the Coah-
tionsts will be able to elect State Senator
from Norfolk County and Portsmouth City aext
fall 1t appears that Postmaster Rue is State
Senator, and under the rule applied to General
Walcutt, the Collector of Internal Revenue
at Columbus. Ohio. of course Postmaster Rue
cannot continue in bis Federal Office The
order issued by President Grant III
January, 1873. is very explicit on this point.
Probably the fact that Mr. Rue was State Senator
was overlooked by Postmaster General Howe aud
hls First Assistant, Mr.. HattOn, when Rue was APP
pointed Postmaster at Norfolk last year. and I'M
doubleday the matter was not brought to the atten-
ton OF the President by Senator Malone.
II Mr.. Rue obeys Senator Malone and resigns his
place as postmaster be will relieve the Postmaster
General of disagreeable duty.
