The Secretary of the Treasury begins
the new fiscal year with the clerical
force of his department reduced to
about the number allowed by law. A
few removals are yet to be made in two
or three of the bureaus, but the general
business of disInissals and appoint
ments is concluded, and such clerks as
are correct in habits and faithful in
business may now consider themselves
settled. 1t can not yet be told how
many changes have been made, but 1t Is
safe to say that the expenses OF the
department for the coming year will be
nearly or quite one million dollars less
than heretofore, and there Is no reason
for supposing but that all the work
will be done just as we'll and promptly
as ever.

"A telegram from Washington to n
Democratic paper sayR:
Prominent Radical politicians of Vir-
ginia begin TO give up the chance Of
Wells election. There are several
causes for this; first, the nominee for
Lieutenant Governor on the Wells
ticket is a negro, and if the ticket Is
elected Wells will be likely to go to the
Senate, and the negro will step into the
gubernatorial chair, and Virginia don't
want that; second, the nominee for
Lieutenant Governor on the Walker
ticket is one of the most popular men
in the State, and will bring thousands
of votes to Walker. He will carry the
valley counties of the State by immense
majorities; third, the negro votes are
all enthusiastic as to Wells, and will
stay at home in large numbers.
