The Appropriation Committee GrimIy
Resolved on RetrenChmenf.
Millions Of Expenditures in Compensa-
ton of Idleness.
The Army of Drores Lounsing In
the Departments

General Garfield, Chairman of the Committee
on Appropriat IONS, has nearly completed search.
ing investigation ct The entire subject OF the civil
service lie begins his labors at 1860, and takes
the business and employees OF the various execu-
tive departments at that time and follows both
through the war; when the maximum reached
in certain departments, and since which time the
duties have declined, without, however, decreaE-
ing the number OF employees. Instead OF Con-
grsss being responsible ioI the army of clerks, or
as the Secretary of the Treasury says. the esti-
| mates being entirely based upon laws of Congress,
| it has been discovered by tie chairman that the
| departments have always clung TO the number oi
clerks already allowed, and each year have asked
| for more, when there is no evidence to show that
| they were needed. The committee have general
| ly decided that. ia some instances a reduction o
| 40 per cent can be made, but this is considered
the maximum. 1t may be stated however thai
through all the departments the average reduction
| in the number of clerks will BE- from q, to 80 pei
| cent. Ia the Treasury Department alone, that Is
in all Its branches it is the opinion that the
| COS Of at least 900 can be dispensed with. TAX
ing the 1000 civil employees of the government
| exclusive OF $4,000 postmasters. aud reduction
| OF 81 per cent. would make 10000 persons At IL
average salary each OF : 200 year, the amour
saved would be Sl0000O00. This would be per
msnent reduction.

Profits of a National Circulating Medi
um.

Mr. Mellish, OF this State delivered speech
in the House of Representatives on Saturday
in support of bill lac has prepared TO pro
vide The money of the United States. end to
regulate the value thereof" In the course of
his remarkl he said no money should circu-
late except on the credit Of the nation, and all
profits on the issue and circulation should
form part of the revenue OF the United States.
Though this is not new idea (or we have
maintained sll along that the profit on nation
al circulating medium properly belongs to the
government and public it is not often that the
matter is brought before Congress in such a
direct and plain manner. What Just claims have

millions of dollars 10 these privileged bankers.
That is TO say, each one has had his capital
nearly doubled by the generosity of the govern
