CLAY; It would ere this have become monu-
inent Of barbarism instead Of civilization.
The statue of CLAY has been accessible to
the destructives, and they have made The
most OF their opportunity.
This statue Is tho work OF an American
artist and before 1t was SO shamefully NAL
treated, was generally regarded rs triumph
of art. With the Kentucky sculptor 1t was =
labor of love; and he succeeded perfectly In
transferring to marble the form and figure
with which he was so familiar, and which was
enshrlned In the warmest affections of his
heart. The personal presence of HENRY CLAY
exercised a magnetic influence over all with
whom he was brought in contact. His erect,
elastic and graceful carriage; his bold, frank
eve; his countenance, in which courage, gene
roslty, sagacity, and a genial spirit, spoke
from every feature, have been faithfully pre-
served in this statue. We see him as he was
In former days, when he led on his political
columns, as the Democratic Reuie,o described
him, $50 bold, so brave, bearing himself like
HARRY oP Navarro when his white plume
"rallied his followers TO the spot of Danger and
"of glory" Virginia h0nored herself when
she honored by statue in the CapitolSquare
one of the noblest and most gifted of her illus
trious progeny but the present condition ofthe
statue is shame and scandal which will in
volye her own reputation if il is permitted TO
continue. =

The mutilation OF the once beautiful statue
ofHRygr CLAY, In the Capitol Square, is sub
iect OF modification, not only TO al the ad'
mirers of that illustrious statesman, but 10 all
lovers OF art The genius which is there com
memorated, and the genius which created the
memorial, are alike insulted by this Nandal
dissertation If 1t is possible TO repair the
injury which the statue has suffered, we nope
il will be speedily done. At oil events, It
would be we'll enough TO remove the dusty and
dingy aspect OF what remaips, and 10 take
some measures to prevent further mutilation,
With the exception Of HoupoN's statue OF

that Virginia has exhibited disposition TO
embody in monumental form her admiration

THE LADY CLERKS. Mrs. SwIssHBLH, of the
Washington RecOn6tructioniSt is after some of
the LADY clerks in the Government Depart
ments with q sharp stick She describes with
IA good deal Of caustic humor the graceful
ease and elegant leisure in which q number of
these clcrkesses while away the tedium OF
office hours. Others and the majority, per-
form their duty faithfully; but, according 10
Mrs SwIssHELMs, the drones have n better
chance of promotion than the working bees
On the whole, we infer from her account
that the system of female clerks Is sue
cessful If there are indoent employees, and
If there is favorItism those evils are, unfortu-
nately, common to all departments Judging
from the experiment which was made IN this
city under the Confederate Government, we
are inclined to believe that the ladies, on the
whole, perform the duties of clerks OF depart
ments more conscientiously and steadily shan
the men. They neither drink, smoke, chew nor
swear. all which accomplishments are popular
with the other sex, and render them more at
tractiye in their own eyes, but do not pro-
mote the public interests. We feel very con-
1ident that, under the Confederate Govern
ment, there were fewer idlers and loafers
among the women than among the men; that
they showed equal competency and more
fidelity in their work, and, incredible as IL
NAV SEEM that they talked good deal less
That alone ought 10 recommend the system OF
female clerks. Any occupation which will
deyelop the hitherto latent talent OF silence
In that sex ought 10 receive the patronage OF
the Government and the benedictions of the
country.

THE GARNER. This long expected pc.
riodical made its appearance for the first
time yesterday morning. It came at q time
very appropriate in several respects. II
was on the first day of the year lSrS. II re-
presents not only iiew year. but new era.
It's first issue marks the Inauguration OF an
entirely new state OF things-and 1t is adapted
TO the days that are coming, not to those that
have passed by. 1t is published on good paper,
and the paper binding presents very enticing
appearance. The frcntlspleta i picture OF
that veteran agriculturist, General w. II.
RIcHARDsoS-one OF the most useful men the
State of Virginia ever produced-who, we are
pleased TO see, receives portion, at least, Of
the consideration long due 10 him, but
hitherto strangely withheld, in q light and
graceful biographical notice of some seven or
eight pages. The body Of the work, consisting
of selected articles and contributions, does
great credit 10 those whose taste and judgment
selected and arranged the several pieces. They
are OF great practical value, and keep fully up
to the high standard Of the paper We would
call especial attention TO the article on HOrti-
culture, which is original and fun of matter
TO be read and digested. The editorial address
is fun IF hope ahd encouragement TO the Yir-
ginia farmer, and will tell In the country. We
are glad to see that a tribute IS paid TO the me-
mory of tho late lamented EDNUED RrFPIS,
whose great abilities were, throughout his long
life devoted 10 the cause Of agriculture with q
success that, of itself, Is sufficient to keep his
memory alive to the latest posterity. An edi-
torial article Is devoted to the engrosslng sub
iect of immigration. II is sonsible and prac
tical.
The Frmer has already become n success. 1t
cannot fail, we think TO become very great
success. We hope 1t may, and we are sure 1t
will.

BUILDING THR BURNT DISTRICT. = Many OF
our citizens are making arrangements for the
erection of buildings in the burnt district rs
soon as the season opens for work to commence.
And as great delay was caused last year by the
difficulty of promptly procuring suitable build

service by calling attention 10 the fact that

between Cary and Dock streets, and Messrs;
Mercer i Woodward, corner OF Ninth ana

In the country under their controi, ana tnsy
