Meeting OF D'psT.%:.' ps,sa,:. 0''rh''-A ers.a
An adjourned meeting Of the Department
clerks was held last night, at Willard Hall, for
the purpose Of effecting military organization
Of the different employees Of the Government
WV. WV Dsnenhower, Chief Clerk in the Fourth
Auditors office, presided; and 2. Jones, clerk
in the Third Auditors once, acted az Score.
tary.
A resolution was introduced, rendering the
services Of the Department clerks to the Gov.
ernment, and asking them to suggest some plan
Of organization.
This resolution did not seem to suit portion
ofthe gentlemen present, who were evidently
anxious 70 effect an immediate organization,
and tender their services a. other military
bodies. But q controlling and very industrious
element OF the meeting was evidently In no very
anxious mood to serve their country In any ca.
pacity except in their present ofacial relations,
oonnter.motiens, Substitutes and resolutions, to
defeat the honest Intentions of those who really
desired to do something for the defence and
purinoation Of the national capital.
After considerable discussion, this resolu.
tion was tabled, and another resolution, in
harmony with the original call Of the meeting,
calling upon all who desired to serve In this
military organization to come forward and en-.
roll their names, was passed. This caused
commenced "skedaddling" from the hall.
One Of these patriotic gentlemen attempted
TO get a resolution engrafted on the above, ten.
dering the services Of this organization to the
Government, as privates, without oompenss:.
their places shall be reserved and restored to
them after tho war is over!
After the above stampede, there seemed to
be sufficient amount Of the dlscordant element
Of the meeting.
One man said he thought he came to Union
meeting, but he feared that too much Of q SO.
oession spirit was manifested TO do much good.
without accomplishing anything, the meeting
adjourned to meet in the same hall next Thurs
day night.
We have been informed that this meeting ia
repetition of the meeting held in the same
place last Tuesday evening.
These meetings, we understand, were Origi
mated through the influence Of the employees
Of the Third Auditors ofhoe, who met recently
at the Gymnasium, when, after enrolling a
sufficient number to form a company, they re.
solved to extend an invitation TO their fellow
clerks In the other bureaus of the Department
to co operate with them In the organization Of
number of military companies, but failing tO
have that harmony so much desired, they are
still determined to pursue their hrst purpose
of having crack company, well drilled, and
ready for any emergency; and we think the
other employees of the Department would dc
well TO follow their example, and not be &C
afraid of soiing their broadcloh and pdten
ieathers by q little ewholesome drill out Of Office
hours.
