LETTER PROM Hon. EDWARD MoPHERsoS.
Hon. Edward Mcpherson, Clerk of the
House of Representatives, has written the
following letter to New York paper, In
reply to certain charges made against the
management Of his office. 1t will DO read
with great interest by the friends of this
distinguished statesman;
CLERK's OFFICE, House OF REPRBsEsrA-
TIvEs OF THE UNITED STATES, WASHING.
TON, D., c., February 0, 1861 would not
ask space In your paper to correct the mis-.
statements made by your Washington CORE
spondent under date Of February z, II the
tone OF the comments, as well as the state
ments themselves, did not betray O manifest
purpose to do me an Injury. Therefore ask
permission to says
First. That the roll of employees in the
Clerks office Is ffty-two, (not hfty-eight, as
stated by your correspondent being an iu-
crease OF four since took charge OF the
office In 1868. or these, two were added by
direct vote OF the House, and two by the ac-
tion OF the Committee on Accounts-none by
me.
Second. That the cost to Government Of
these employees Is s7,6s7.44 per month, as
against IS, ,76S.30 In 1862, which Increase Ia
accounted for by the twenty per cent. in
crease OF pay voted by Congress In July,
1865.
Third. That tho number and pay Of all
the employees are fixed by law, or the Com
mittee on Accounts. The Clerk has nothing
to do with the roll except to make the ap-
pointments and pay the rates fixed for him
by the authority created by law.
Fourth. The work thrown upon the office
BY the law, and the controversy with the
President, has fully doubled the duties OF
the officers. And, besides, during each year
OF my clerkship, Congress has imposed add
tional duties upon me. TheThirty-eighth Con-
gress revived the distribution of full back sets
OF the Congregational Globe, and placed upon
this Office the care and distribution Of them.
The Thirty-nlnth transferred from the
Secretary Of State to the Clerk Of the House
the designation of newspapers for the off,
cial printing In all the States, which In
wolves O correspondence with parties In
every State and Territory, with u correspond
ing Increase OF clerical service. The For
tieth transferred from the Postmaster of the
House the distribution Of the stationery to
members, which largely adds to the labors
of the employees Of this Office.
may add, generally, that since my cleo.
tlon as Clerk have asked for no increase OF
force or Of payi and the slight increase OF
the force ID due TO the direct orders of the
House, or the action Of the Committee on
Accounts, both Of which were Justified by
the increase Of public business.
Very respectfully,

: Rev. Mr.. Sawyer said he believed it
right that the &ate should have force
10 execute any criminal law of the State
where it is not done by local slithority.
How often it happens that enemies of
society comma crimes under such cir
sscumstances that itrequiresa detective to
ferret out the outrage. In the town OF
Durham, few years since, there was a
series of outs~ges which straek at thesesy
foundations of society. Buildings were
burned and ACKNOWLEDGMENT. Oneof the
greatest sufferers came to Augusta and
saw Coy. Chamberlain for the purpose OF
getting detective aidfrom the State. The
governor was forced to tell the citizen
that the State had no force or means to
protect him and execute its own laws.
Should not the State have some force to
meet such an exigency?

Davis friends from this town 10 Canada.
Some persons fearing that what they
had often declared would prove true.
.'that every mans property would be
taken by the United States Government
TO carry ON the war, before the Southe n
armies could be conquered" sold out at
great sacrifice and left for the Queens
dominions.
Mr. Lane, areturned soldier discharged
on account of wounds worth atthat time
less than thousand dollars, bought a
farm of one of these "good democrats
and has lived thereon since Nov. or Dec.
or 1868. Tie has been Industrious, pru-
dent and sharp, and to-day is worth fully
5000 five thousand dollars which fact
proves that money can be made by farm
ing, even in the State of Maine. The
farm is an upland farm. The man that
went to Canada could have bought Lane
out and paid down for the purchase, five
times, in 90. In 90. il am rightly in
formed. Lane could do the same by the
Canadian.
