The FemnIe Clerk system.

washington Oorrosponuehce N. Il. NeWSJ
The adoption of the system of employing
female clerks in the Treasury Department
was designed to give employment to the
widows and daughters of those men who
served their country on the battlefield and
fell In its defense. 1t began well; it is end
ing bad, because Its original plan has been
defeated, and those who have gained en-
ployment in many instances, not generally,
have been befriended by the claims spoke
of for no purpose. There are upward of
eight hundred young women employed in
the different apartments. They are fire.
quently brought to their work In carriages
driven or occupied by prominent men,
others are escorted by Congressman and
Others They 60 as they came. An inspec-
tion Of the rooms during working hours
only goes to establish the opinion originate
ed BY external movements. 1t is no un-
common thing to see these female clerks,
who are taken IN out of semi-charity, wear
ing costly jewels-diamond breastpins, ear
drops, and rings. Fancy for moment a
female getting salary of $500 per annum
wearing $3.50 of jewels, as has been and is
the fact in Mr.. Chase's department.

SHARP PRAcTIcE.-The substitutes for
drafted men, of whom there are large
number now at Tod Barracks, have an occa-
sional opportunity to "turn an honest pen
ny" at the expense of Uncle Sam. Several
rebel prisoners have recently escaped from
the Barracks in citizens clothes, borrowed
for the occasion from newly arrived SUBJ
stitute. Imprisonment sharpens the wits
of men to supernatural degree, and some
OF the contrivances adopted by the rebels
are not only ingenious, but SO novel and
original that the utmost vigilance cannot
always prevent them from being successful.

THE estimated number.required to fill the
quota Of Iowa under the last call by the
President for 100000, is decided to be
1874, and the authorities have Fixed the
excess on former calls at 1900, leaving
the amount to be raised by volunteering or
draft of 4,7s4. The Davenport Gazette has
the following upon this subject:
1--WE understand the principle upon
which the quota is based, and the draft will
be made, is this: the excess of a precinct,
township, or ward will not be placed to the
credit Of the whole city or county, but will
remain as a credit to such township, ward
or precinct in any future call. The men
now required will be taken from such pre-
cincts, townships or wards as are delin.
quent, without any credit to them Of the
excess of other districts"
