The approach Of the new fiscal year
occasions no little anxiety IN the
minds of clerks 81 the various bureauN
of the treasury department in anticipa-
tim of thesNecutiOn Of the provisions
of the act Of March 3, 1875, making mp
preparations for sundry civil expenses
concerning the organization and sal

affects, to greater or lesser degree, all
the burcaux, and in many respects will
he decided Improvement on the pres
cnt system. The most important
change will be in the Office of the
first comptroller. This bureau has
never had thorough reorganization
and is row run with essentially
the same machinery that sutiiced
years ago when the business was
comparatively small. In common
with the other bureauX of the depart
ment, the chief clerk will he constl'
tuted deputy Comptroller. This post
will be assigned to w. Hemphi!l Jones,
the present chief clerk. There viii
also be four divisions under an equal
number Of chiefs. IL has not yet been

will he made OF the business under
these four heads. The plan, however,
now proposed contemplates warrant,
judiciary, internal revenue and con-
sular and diplomatic divisions. This
arrange mcnt, ii is believed, Will mate

spunsiblc duties dcvolving upon the
first comptroller The reidjustmcnt OF
salaries and classes of clerks To the
new schedule will yet consume several
weeks. The new organization will al'o
necessitatc reduction of the force in
some quarters.
