THE OLERKSHIP.

mr.. MePhersOn COmbats the Allegations
Against his Economical Management
of his once.
Our Washington correspondent, ia his letter
OF February 7, recited the charges which are
brought against the Hon. Edward MCPHERSON,
IN relation to his management of the affairs OF
his office, expressly stating that they we're
among the reasons urged by prominent Repub.
llcan members of the House in favor OF change
In the Clerkship of that body at the opening OF
the sessions of the Forty first Congress. Mr..
Mcpherson has written a letter in answer to
these CHARGES, for which, In justice to him and
for the sake of presenting both sides of the
question, we make room. The letter reads as
follows
CLERKS OFFICE, HOUSE OF REP u. s.,
WASHINGTON, ID. u, Feb 8, 1867. J
To ne Editor Of The EUenbag Telegraph
would not ask space in your paper to cor
rect the misstatements made by your Wasn,
Z, II the tone of the comments as well as the
statements themselves, did not betray m anil.
fest purpose to do me an injury. therefore
ask permission to say:- ~,
First. That the roll of employees In the Clerks
office Ia fiity.two mot fifty yeight, as stated by
your correspondenO, being an increase OF Jonr
since I took charge of the ofhce IN 1853; OI
House. and two by the action Of The Committee
on Acknowledgements by me.
Second. That the cost to Government OF Jnese
employees is S7687 A per month, as against
S5768 30 In 1862 which Increase Is acc )unted for
INV the twenty per cent. increase OF pay voted
by Congress In July, 1865. =, ,
Chird That the number and pay OF all the
employees are fixed by law, or by Jne COMMITTEES
on Accounts The Clerk has nothing to do with
the roll except to make the appointments ana
pay the rates fixed for him by the authority
created by law. -,
Fourth, The work thrown upon the office by
the war and the controversy Win the Pfesl-
dent has fully doubled the duties OF the officers
And besides, during each year OF my olerkshlp
CONGRESS- has imposed additional duties upon
me. The Thirty-eghth Congress revived the
distribution of full back sets of the Congress
sional Globe and placed upon this office The
care and distribution of them. The Thirty
ninth transferred from the Secretary OF state
to the Clerk Of the House the designation of
newspapers for she OIL ;ial printing in all the
States, which involves correspondence with
parties in every State and Territory, win
corresponding increase OF clerical service.
The FOrtieth transferred from the Postmaster
of the House the distribution OF stationery to
members which largely adds to the labors Of
the employees of this office.
Imay add, generally, that since my election
as Clerk have asked for no increase OF force
or of pay; aud the slight increase OF the force is
due TO the direct orders of the House, or the
action of the Committee on Accounts, both o.
which were justified by the increase OF public
business. Very respectfully,
EDW. MCPHERSON,
Clerk House OF Reps, U, 8.

WHEN THERE Is NO LUNG DISEASE,

DR.. SCHENCK, who has enjoyed uninter-

skeleton, IN the very last stage of Pulmonary
Consumption his physicians having pronounced
his ease hopeless, and abandoned him 10 his
fate. He was cured by the aforesaid medicines,
and since his recovery many thousands SINH
Iarly afflicted have used DR.. schenck's prepara-
tions with the same remarkable success. Full
directions accompany each, making it not abso-
lutely necessary to personally see DR.. Schenck,
unless patients wish their lungs examined, and
for this purpose he is professionally at his Prin-
cipal Otlice,
