WAYs.-WAsHINGTON ID. c., Oct 22-Edi-
! Tor Evening Star: see 1t stated in your yalu-
able paper Of yesterday that the appointees
OF the District OF Columbia are likely to suf-
feI from the proposed Encouragement of the
clerical force of the Treasury department.
III the powers that be would turn ont the citi-
zens OF the states employed In the city post
Office, the District government offices, and
other places purely local, venture to say
there would be places for every District man
employed in the departments and some to
spare In other cities the citizens thereof
demand and get their local Offices, but here
outsiders ill them almost to the exclusion Of
our people. few years ago held a clerk
ship In bureau of the Treasury that en-
ployed between four and five hundred clerks,
and ont of that number but five OF us were
from the District, yet efforts we're continually
made To secure our removal simply on &C.
count OF residence. There is no Justice in
this outcry against appointments from the
District. B
