REDUCTION OF FORCE IN THE TREASURY
Secre tary McCulloch will at an early day
direct that a reduction Of force be made in the
Treasury Department, in consequence of
scarcity Of work in all the Bureaus OF the
Treasury. The largest reduction will be in
the offices Of the Second and Third Auditors,
as the business in these bureaus hae Iapidly
decreased since the close of the war. In the
printing division, under Mr.. S. M. Clarke,
there are more employed than necessary, and
the force will be reduced. A'majority of those
employed IN this bureau are females. Secre.
tary McCulloch for some time past has con-
templated reducing the force, but each time
when 1t became known great influence has
been brought to bear upon him, to keep par.
ties IN office. 1t is now necessary that some
should be dismissed. Those retained will be
the ost eff cient and faithful clerks, without
any regard to classification or salaries.
