Svms to be Uie prevailing spirit in
tlic different exeentive departments.
The appropriation asked of t'on
grcss for the next fiscal year will
1k many million dollars less than
the present one. The N'avy Do
rtment will make the Invest re-
duettos. The Treasury Department
is making great eflbrts to reduce it
!orce to a late working tooting.
The Internal Keveune lias already
dropped from it rolls nearly a
third of the Assessors and Collec
tors; yet the revenue is collected
with as mncli rapidity, and with, I
might say, more honesty. The
clerical force of the Treasury 1 )e
I a i t me: it will soon be re-organized,
a mi a number of tlie clerk in the dif
fcrent offices will lie given iudefinate
leaves of obsenee. The Interior l)e
jiartment is not far liehind, ami has
already began the good work.
I lardly a month passes without a
reduction of some kind being made.
The Congressional Printer has just
reduced his force about seventy,
thirty or forty being females. 1 he
Postoffico, State and Xayy Depart
ments have not made a move in this
direction, but it is thought they will
wheel into line More tlie end of the
present fiscal year, (June 30th).
It would la? a good move and
one that would lie appreciated by
the tax-ayers ot the District of
Columbia, if our Territorial Gov-
eminent would return a little, and
drop a tew of its sinecures and di
vide the offiees among the ople,
aial not a favored lew. There are
Mime of our officials that hold two
or three positions, one under the U.
f Government and the other under
the Territory. '1 here would be no
harra in this, it tliey did iwt draw
double pay. There are some halt
dozen nieu who play this little game,
emptiA
ed to tlie fearful waste of the jmo- I
ilc's money ly our Territorial ofli
rials, and have considered it of silt
tieient importaiiee to investigate tlie
Kline. The (Milium tee w ho have the
mattei in charge will, noflonlit, af
ter the investigation is ended, re- I
commend the abolishment of our
present form of government and re
tiiru to tlie cities of Washington
and (ieorgetown their charters.
ANOTHER ONE.
In the meeting of tlie grand jury
of our Territory next week, there
w ill be evideiMV presented to it, im
plicating ex-member of Congrew,
Trotter, in tlie wine crime that
Hon. Wm. B. Stokes was foaixl
guilty of, viz : awiving pay while
a member of the House of I'qirc
seutatives, for prosecuting claims
Ix'fore tin? Departments. The par.
licular ease unearthed against this
loinorable gentleinau, is the one
which was called to the attention of
t lie Postmaster General h mie time
ago, and who investigated or at
tc. opted to investigate iL At the ex
piration of t week or m that official
I ism issed the case, stating that 1 1 ere
was not a shadow of groui.ds for
i he charge. Since then, it is said some
new farts have been developed, and
now .Mr. Trower will lie given an
other opportunity to prove himself
innocent. Tlie case against Pros
(r, to make the most of it, is only
a misdemeanor, with a fine of only
f-.VOOOor imprisonment in our coun
ty jail for the iieriod of one. year.
( It Itite our courts have len very
active iu bringing what might be
termed government "pick-pock-et"
to tlie liar ofjiistice. Thus far
not oik oftliemhavc escaped :they
lave all Ihvii found guilty and are
now Miti'criiig for their crimes.
There is yet to lie tried a Second
