WASHINGTON, November p.



DISMISSAL OF FI.MAIE CLERKS.
nc hundred and Twenty-Five women and
girl have recently been dismissed from po-
sit,Jns in the various Government Depart
mcnts which they have been found iucom-
petent to I'LL The work of most Of them
had to be done over by clerks OF the sterner
sex. Many of them, In writing letters,
made the most ridiculous blunders In SPELL
ing and grammar; and some OF them
spoiled costly books by entries full of mis-
takes. They were appointed for very
strange reason, namely because they were
relatives Of men who had been soldiers,
and who had been killed or wounded in the
war.
The negro population of the District of
Columbia are making extensive prepara-
tions to Join in n mass welcome to Con-
glcss. As Congress has done little else for
the last live years than to legislate for
"niggers," II isvery natural that they should
welcome 1t.
MIR. M'CULLocn's PLANS.
The financial men who have come here
from the commercial centres to get an ink
ling of Secretary McCuiloch's report, de-
clare that he will solicit Congress FOR full
discretionary power for retiring the cur
renew and that to that end he will ask to
be- authorized to sell bonds bearing interest
at rate not exceeding six per cent, and
redrcmable and payable at such periods as
hc may decide, for the purpose of retiring
the compound and other legal-tender notes.
This is substantially the main feature of
the views submitted by him to Congress
last December and which were non-cOn-
CURED in. The Secretary has gone to the
limit of the bill which did pass, author
izing him to retire $l4,000,OO0 before Jauu-
airy |, 1867.
In the Treasury Department. 2,600 clerks
are employed, of whom 800 are girls and
young ladies. About 200 of the girls are
employed in the d dferent mechanical pro-
cesses connected with the manufacture of
paper money, and very deXterous they are.
IMPEACHMENT.
The Buffalo Commercial Advertiser says,
we have private intelligence from Washing
ton that Thaddeus Stevens has called a eau
Gus of Republican members to meet Tues
day to bring about concert of action for
impcaching President johnson.
TnE PRorEcuoNIsrs MOVING.
The Eastern manufacturers are eombin-
lug 10 force through Congress, during the
coming session, the tariff bill of Mr.. Nor
rill, passed by the House at the last session.
It will be remembered that Senator Sprague,
lin the early part of last winter, demanded
additional protection for manufacturing
interests and averred that without it the
New England mill owners could not con-
tinue business. His pitiful complaint and
ARRAY of statistics emboldened the protec-
tionsts to move for an increase of duties,
despite the fact that the tariff on dry goods
then amounted to Az per cent. in gold.
Is It not time that these weakllngs, who
have been fed on Government pap for fifty
years. and who are declaring annual divi-
.dcnds OF u hundred per cent. on the entire
capital they have invested in manufacture
ing, were left to their own resources?
