-SUGGEsTIoss OF THE THIRD AUpIroR.--In
his annual report, just printed, Hon. Reader
W. Clarke, the Third Auditor Of the Treas

clerks, says "the best method OF graduating

too much minuteness Of detail for Congress

largiug the door Of advancement. No clerk
should be advanced except upon merit, and
when be clearly merits 1t he should have 1t.
Open up TO them this opportunity, and It
will impart an inspiration to every clerk, fit
for any employment, and he will strive 10
deserve q position where the pay Is COM
pensa.ory, and will meet his necessities. II,
with such opportunity to obtain better pav.
he still orzgs along q nrst-class clerk, there
would seem to DO no just demand further to
provide for him.
By this rule there would be no limiting
the number Of clerks to each particular
class, but as many as deserved to take rank
In any class should have II, with Its pay.
This would put an end to all clamor for
twenty per cent, or other temporary expe-
dients for raising compensation, and, at the
same time, do no injustice to the Govern
ment, for IL simply subjects itself to pay the
lAborer what 1t admits he merits, and Is
simply his due. II 10 expected, OF course,
that, In adopting this rule, great care would
DO taken In the matter Of examination Of
clerks, aud In recommending promotions.
II would be important not only to look to
the capacity for duty, but also to the facility
OF execution. 1t may not be too much to
assume that one efiiclent expert clerk can
readily perform the labor OF two Of ordinary
capacity. Tho effect would DO 10 diminish
the number and increase the compensation,
and ultimately prove itself q decided economy
TO the Government. Fewer men would do
more work, and better, aud for less money,
