are examined and settled are the Quartermaster-

The force Of clerks in each of these will be consider

81 TBr TELEGRAPH TO THE rRIDUSEl
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE Appropriations Com
mittee have nearly completed the Executive Legis-
lative. and Judicial Appropriation BILL and expect
70 report it to the House tomorrow or next day.
The bill makes important changes and reductions in
the Executive Departments in Washington, and
will be certain to bring down upon its authors the
Indignation OF scores of officehoders, whom it pro-
proposes summarily to choke Oft from the public
crib. The Committee, failing to get any assistance
from the heads OF bureaus in their efforts to dis
cover places where reductions could be best effected
have come TO conclusions from the information they
have gathered without the aid Of these officials
They have decided that large reduction can
be made in the clerical force Of many Of
the Department offices, without any detriment to
the public ser~ce and have framed their bill ac-
eorlingly The theory they have acted upon 49, that
in all bureaus where the clerical force was largely
increased to settle accounts growing ont OF the war
a reduction can now safely be made. The war
finances ought, thoy think, " DO pretty we'll a.

Tus resolutions introduced in Coan-
I'll last Tuesday night by Doctor Baird
in r,lstion to paving several OF the
n,;ncipsl streets in the city met with
much approval. The very mild and
muddy winter through which We have
Just passed has shown our citizens
NOR. clearly than ever before the ne
cessity for the improvement OF the
main avenues to the city. The upper
part OF Main street over which the
farmers oil the northern river hills are
compelled TO bring their produce to
market; Zane street on the leland which
is our only means Of communication with
Ohio aud the Cleveland aud Pittsburgh
railroad; Fourteenth street, (old john
over which most OF our supplies Of
coal are hauled; and the lower part OF
Chapliue street over which everything
that comes from the Eighth ward or
from Marshall county is drawn; have
all been worn out by the demands OF
trade and during the past winter have
been merely protrscted mud holes.
The resolution adopted ty the Sec
ond branch Of Council looks to
the speedy correction OF this
crying fault. The streets TO be first
paved are those that are most used
that are indeed thoroughfares ; and
whose improvement the council car
not much longer delay.
The scheme for improving the streets
after petition Of majority OF the prop
erty owners on the line, as proposed by
act OF the legislature. has not been as
successful as was hoped by its friends
and the only means OF securing these
improvements that now seems practl'
cable is that proposed by Doctor
BAIRD's resolutions. We hope they
will meet with concurrence.
