Lady Clerks.

We are sorry to see that the bill authorizing
the employment OF ladies as copyists In the
Land Office did not pass the House Of Dele
Gates. In the course of the debate upon this
snhicci one of the honorable members declared
that he did not think clerking the sphere OF
women II is difficult 10 SEQ why not. The
requirements are simply 4 good, iegible hand,
and industrious use of it. Ladies, in general,
are more expert in penmanship than men.
The rough, hard hands of the masculine gen.
der are intended for heavier work than that OF
the desk-for ploughing, rail-sphttnS ana
iisticuiing. The proposition 10 employ ladies'
as clerks is no longer an experiment. The
Federal and Confederate Governments both
tyailed themselves Of their services during the
war, and we believe they are still engaged in
some Of the departments in Washington. we
know nothing Of the operation OF the system
thcre, but we know that here they were among
shc most valuable clerks in the employment OF
he Government They Were in the Quarter
master. Generals, Commissary- Generals and
other departments. They not only wrote
,r.lhle and beautiful hands, but they showed
themselves adopts At figures and calculations
They were, as Il body, more Industrious and
more regular in their attendance than the
lgrH, accomplished more work, and, marvel
lou, 10 relate, talked less. We hope the Legis-
IttUyr will reconsider its action and give
,uurlol mCut to some OF the many meritorjous
lAI.,> who are ROW in great need of assistance.
