Last Tuesday mentioned that we had seen in the

confusion that many Of the clerks absent on the

be issued order that clerks absent OF sick
for given time should furnish substitutes, and if
sick longer than week should be required die or re-
sign, This anecdote was told a good thing by Mr..
Corwins party friends. We did but copy it, adding that
Mr. Corwn himself had been absent long time on The
plea of sickness and that other members OF the cabinet
had been absent without the plea OF sickness At the
