| THE CONSOLIDATION OF DISTRICTS AND THE RE-
DUcTIoN OF THE FORCE DISCUSSED.
lBr TELEGRAPH TO THE rRIBUSE.I
| WASHINGTON March 25-"No; the subject OF
consolidating districts and reducing the number Of
internal revenue collectors is not receiving official
consideration" said Commissioner Raum yester-
day in response TO an inquiry by TRIBUNE corre-
| spondent.
al do not think anything will be done in that
direction until the law goes into operation and
the rebate claims have been adusted-probably not
before the beginning of the next fiscal year." said
Deputy Commissioner Rogers in response to a like
inquiry.
1t is known, however that as soon as the new law
was passed prominent Republicans in both branches
OF Congress represented to the President that 1t
would be an excellent stroke of policy TO reduce as
low as practicable with due regard to the public
interests the official force employed in the collec-
tion of internal taxes. The House, with Republf-
can majority, had voted TO reduce the number OF
collectors from 128 to so; and il was urged upon
the President that unless he should exercise his
authority in the premises the next Congress would
IN all probability take action and thus gain the
credit. There have been indications that these ana
other arguments have caused an investigation with
a view to ascertain how great reduction can be
safely effected.
In this matter Commissioner k2lln Is naturally
inclined TO a very conservative course, and, while
he is willing to admit that reduction is prac-
ticab,e, he would be very loath TO recommend one
nearly so great as that for which the House recently
voted. lie would regard nineteen OF twenty as the
maxim I'm reduction which could safely be made III
the number of collection districts and collectors,
and even then would probably consider it necessary
to increase the force of deputy collectors by the
same number Others, who are perhaps as fully
and thoroughly convcrsant with the necessities of
the service as is General Raum. hold the opinion
that the number of collectors neod not exceed nine
ty, and that the force of deputy collectors-which
now numbers nearly 1,0O0-might also be consider
ably reduced, not only with safety but with actual
advantage to the service
The following table shows in the first column. the
number Of collectors In each of the states named,
in the second column the greatest reduction which,
1t is thought, Commissioner Raum would favor,
and in the third column the reduction which other
well-informed persons believe could safely be
made with due regard TO tho interests Of the public

VIEWS OF sUNDRY REPUBLICANS.


TALKS WITH COLLECTOR ROBERTSON, JOHN J.
oBRIEN, AND OTHERS ABOUT TIE PROPOSED
CONFERENCE.
For some time there has been growing sonvic-
tion in the minds some people in both sections Of
the Republican party in this city and State that
the time is approaching when 4 settlement of tho
differences which have divided the party can be
reached. There have been quiet conferences
n New-YOrk, Albany and Washington. wherever a
few happened to meet. The outcome of these
talks has been tho conclusion that on nam
points the and file of the party are agreed aud
that t is necessary that the ranks shall be closed
I'D if a victory is to be won IN November next.
Moreover unless there is union before the begin
ming of the next campaign in this State it il certain
that the State will be lost to the Republicans In
1854 thus insuring the election of Democratic
President.
There is said to be disposition to "let bygones be
bygones" TO cease carpng and recrimnatiOns, and
start anew. One thing. however Will be insisted
on-that Bossism shall be a thing OF the past
Every one with whom l have talked" said
prominent Republican, one whose counsols carry
weight at all times, is agreed tlat harmony is
necessary TO success. But there must be end 10
Bossism. Every Republican must be accorded
certain freedom of opinion in the councils of the
party, or there will not be much fighting done by
good MANY of u.s."

good reason TO believe that Mr.. Window stands
high in tho favor of the President, who it is said

many Western politicians as having strong
