A dispatch from Washington, dated las

A dispatch from Washington, dated last
night, says:
The House Committee on Accounts held an
important meeting this morning, and took the
initial steps towards thorough overhauling of
the force of employees under their branch of
Congress The clerical force is smsll as compar-
ed with other branches of the building and
could not we'll be reduced. Under the clerk of
the House are tWenty-fOur clerks and assistants
at an aggregate cost of sixty eight thousand dol
lars, which is but little than it costs to dis
tribute the mails and take care of the stationery
in the Treasury Department. The committee
will be likely to recommend reduction in the
number of messengers, which is considered un-
necessarily large. There are also sundry items
under the head of contingent expenses of the
House amounting to $780,, 900 Out of this one
hundred thousand dollars are for folding docu-
! ments, including pay of folders and materials.
Since the abolition of the franking privilege
there has been little done in this Branch, and
| ten thousand dollars is admitted to be nearer q
| reasonable sum for the purpose. There is also
an Item of ten thousand dollars for horses and
| carriages. AS the only legitimate use for these
! is the delivery of the House mail at the resi-
| dences of members the committee are aware that
four would be amply sufficient for the purpose.
| This would give twenty-five hundred dollars
each. The expense bears very close approx
nation to the cost of the landauet of the lady Of
the Attorney General alleged to have been paid
out Of the contingent fund of the Department OF
Justice, or Of the superb Establishments supplied
by the Treasury Department tor the benefit Of
the first assistant secretary and favored clerks.
After the experience in the Department Of JUS
tice this character OF outlay and style is at dis
count. The Capitol police cost for the two
houses of Congress SCI, 100 u year. This includes
one captain at s., 4Ol 10 three leutenants at
5000 each, and twenty seven rrivates at
81 1921 80 each. This is considered by the COM
mttse rather heavy for work W ich they believe
could be done by dozen watchmen at S6O0.
In this connection, by way Of comparison, it
may be stated that it costs but SIS, OOO year to
protect Ill the government buildings in London.

intrinsic virtues, and sustained by it's re- markable cures. So mild as to be safe anu beneficial to children, and yet so searching as to efectually purge out the great cor ruptions of the blood, such as the scrofulous and syphilitic contamination. Impurities, or diseases that have lurked in the system for years, soon yield to this powerful anti dote, and disappear. Hence its wonderful cures, many of which are publicly known, of ScrOfula, and all scrofulous diseases, Ulcers, EruptiOns, and eruptive dis orders of the skin, TumOrS, BlOtcheSs BOils, Pimples, Pustules, Sores, St. AnthOny's Fire, Rose or ErySipe- las, Tetter, Salt Rheum, Scala Head, RingwOr4n, and internal Ul- ceratiOns of the Uterus, StOmachs and Liver. It also cures other com plaints, to which it would not seem especi- ally adapted such as DrOpsy, Dyspep- sia, Fits, Neuralgia, Heart Disease. Female Weakness, Debility, and LeucOrrhoea, when they are manifesto tions of the scrofulous poisons.
 It is an excellent restorer of health and strength in the Spring. By renewing the appetite and vigor of tho digestive organs, it dissipates the depression and listless lan- guor of the season. Even where no disorder appears, people feel better, and live longer, for cleansing the blood. The system moves on with renewed vigor and new lease of life.

were offers for much larger number.
Fifty were taken to work in iron works
at $40 head for one year, 100 for
coal mines at $11 head, so to labor
on railroad for twenty-one months at
$l1 head, aud 200 for the same work
