The fears once entertained that the clothing
contracts for the army would be removed
from this city, has been the cause of reveal
ing to miserly contractors the actual distress
that such withdrawal of work would entail
on the poor sewing women, who, during its
temporary suspension througed the shops,
eagerly inquiring for work wherewith to
purchase the necessaries of life. And now
that that work is about being resumed, the
contractors take advantage OF their distress,
to reduce the prices that they formerly paid,
(small as it then was,) and increased the
amount of work required on the garment.
AS though this was not sufficient to show
their heartlessness, some of them even then
refuse TO pay or give any satisfaction for the
herd labor of the poor seamstres5, coldly
throwing the work aside, at the same time
telling them they could call on another day,
when they would settle their claims, after
deductipg for alterations-which alterations
of course, are never made, but the deduction
insisted upon.
Only think of it, heavy army pants al
twenty cents per pair, and then to be thus
treated by unprincipled men, who take
advantage of their position and our necessi
ties, to reduce it even below that figure
Was it for this class OF oppressors that the
large meeting was held at the Catholic In,
s,itute, and that the City Council and Cham
| ber of Commerce sent committees to Wash
ington? If working people are to bt
bepefitted by the retention of army clothing
in this city, it must be given out to the
working class by Government agents
thereby saving the enormous profits of the
greedy contractors, and enable the Govern.
ment to give US sewing women a fail
equivalent for our services.

Another swindIn-PrnhnhIr-

The Philadelphia Press has an article in
relation to new postofice, in which we are
reminded of keen operation by the polit-
ical hucksters, iobbers and demagogues of
that city. Not to put too fine point on it,
the transaction might be designated swind-
ling the Government. Here it is, in brief
"The Congress under Mr.. Pierce, in the
closing hours of his Administration, passed
an act appropIiating 100000 for the pur-
pose of rtfittiDg the Pennsylvania Bank as
postoffice. THIS act was passed in violation
of the wishes of the people of this city, who
had no desire TO see their postoffice erected
in such an unfrequented and inconvenient
locality. Twenty thousand dollars were
spent, and the Postmaster. General of Mr..
Buchanan issued an order terminating the
work upon it. The speculators and jobbers,
whose interest it was to sell the Pe1nsylva
mia Bank onSecond street, had accom- mplished
their purpose. They had obtained quarter

Hon. John A. Gprley, Representative from
this District, made a strong speech in the
House of Representatives on Wednesday on
the conduct Of the war. He declared that it
was absolutely necessary for us to have
more active policy in Congress, in the Cabi
net but, above all, in the feld-else we
should have foreign or domestic war on
our hands for years. The army has long
been ready, said Mr. Gurley; the troopSburn
for an opportunity to fight we have cast
about us for bold and daring leader; it is
painful now to acknowledge that we have
looked in vsin for one with sufficient enter
prise to lead our army. If a General stands
in the way of the Union cause, let him be
put aside, and give his place to another.
The truth is, said Mr.. Gurley, the General
in Chief has too much to do; no man can
successfully direct the operations OF an army
of six hundred thousand, scattered over such
a territory; our Generals thus far have been
made victims to the fixed plan of one mind,
and this plan has had but one result-it has
kept large army from doing just what it
was made to do. 1t has kept soldiers from
fighting. We print elsewhere pretty full
and fair abstract of Mr.. G.'s speech.

Life In Washington Mrs. Line oIn-F Fun In
the White House

One of the saddest evidences of our social
decentralization as people, and the depth and
extent of that decentralization, is seen in the
utter Inconsistencies of the ruin and misery
of the country which prevails in Washington.
That Inconsistencies seems to environ the
White House. No woman ever had better
opportunity to show how much q patriot
mother could do for her country than Mrs.
Lincolp. It is sad that the golden op-
.portunity is thrown away. The New York
Tribune says:
"Mrs. Lincoln is engaged in qualifying
herself for the more delicate exigencies OF
her elevated station, She is about to resume,
under competent professors, the study of the
French language, with which her early edu-
cation made her familiar but the practice of
which has long been interrupted by the quiet
but unceasing occupations of domestic life.
We also understan d that, in other and similar
ways, Mrs. Lincoln proposes to add to the
many accomplishments for which she is al
ready distinguished, and which supply to
the salons of the White House its most brill
lisnt adornments"
The Washington correspondent of the New
York EVening Post, referring TO the prevail
ing gayety and thoughtlessness in the Ma
tional Capital, adds:
From Mrs. Lincoln, driving in her gaudy
coach, and Mr.. Lincoln, amusing himself
| with Herrman's feats OF 'presudlgltatlon,
down to the young officers dancing gayly al
the balls, every one seems to consider the
present time one especially created for amuse.
ment. There is not the slightest seriousness
any where, that have been able to discover
it is all fun. And any one who looks Oh
speaks earnestly of the critical condition o
affairs, is regarded as a bore by all but somt
of the few older heads. The mournful face
are all at the homes that the war has made
desolate"
We should be glad to believe that this wa
an overweight picture, but private advice
leave US no room 10 doubt. Even the Whit
House is made the scene of Herrman's wizarC
feats; and all while our soldiers are sick, suf
fering and dying in the camps, the strength
of the army wasting from inaction, and th
very pillars of the Republic made to tremb
by the fearful blows of rebellion. 1t is a sal
picture. The Lord have mercy upon US =

bonner on a Newspaper Tax

Bonner, of the New York Ledger, has
written letter to Mr., Colfax, Chairman of
the Post Office Committee in the House,
finding fault with the bill proposed by the
Committee, taxing newspapers. He recon-
mends the following as a substitute:
Papers of one thousand circulation aud
less, TO be free from taxation; papers over
one thousand and less than five thousand, to
pay tax of one quarter of cent on every
copy published, and all papers over FIVE
thousand circulation, to pay tax of half a
cent on every copy published.
Ifnewspapers If must be taxed, this plan is
better than to send the paper to ,ircumlo-
cution Office to have each sheet stamped.

The Taxation BilIs-DisIOyaI Persons in
Government Service
TSpecial Disnatch TO the N v Eveninc poat

[SEecial Dispatch TO the n. \. Evening Post,l
WASHINGTON, January 30.
A number of the Democratic members of
Congress will oppose the taxation bills
which are to be reported to Congress, hoping
thereby to win popularity with the people.
They apparently have no desire to prevent
the passage of the bills in question, but on
the other hand, desire the people to under
stand that a Republican Administration is
forced thus to tax the people, while they vote
against it.
The Potter Report excites much attention
here, but it is said that large proportion of
the persons singled out by the Committee as
disloyal, and who have not already been
dismissed from the service, will endeavor to
prove that they are now perfectly devoted to
The interests of the Government. There are
several cases Ct this kind which have been
successful in removing the suspicious attach
ing TO them. Whenever ordinary means
will not answer, the female friends of the
accused parties are brought to bear upon the
symparhies of honorable Senators and the
heads of departments, and it is an argument
which rarely fails.
