Indebtedness of Duncan, Sherman & Co.,
Is accommodation paper in the form of
drafts drawn on them by confidential
clerk in their Office, accepted by them and
sold to various banks through note brok-
ers. Of this species of paper probably not
less than 100000 is now held in Provi-
dence, where the family of Mr.. Duncan
has been long and fayorably known, and
the agent met with little difficulty in dis
posing Of it. One bank in this city holds
$4,000, ;nother 35, 900, and still another
10000, besides smaller amounts in the
hands OF numerous persons. One bank
characterlzes this issuance of accommOda-
tlon paper as the sharpest kind of sharp
game, the impression of the acceptor being
that 1t was drawn against merchandise
and secure. Mr., Duncan says the pro-
ceedings were entirely straight, and more
or less the practice of the house for twenty
years. The announcement is made that let
ters of credit for which the father of Mr..
Duncan has become responsible amount
only to about $4,000.
A correspondent writing from Paris says
not half hour passes that do not hear of
cases of distress arising from this failure
Probably majority of the losers are per-

hardship, as they have no reserve fund
upon which to rely A widow who came
to Europe few months ago to reside here
and educate her children, deposited all her
money with Duncan, Sherman 4 Co., and
took their letters of credit She has not
ten dollars in her possession, and there are
ren: and school bills due. Her excite
ment and alarm are so great that her
friends apprehend insanity. There are
many teachers, students ard others in ex
actly the same condition, and they are not
only in Paris but all over the continent.
At least four Americans who heard of
the failure before the news reached the

POstOnice Expenses TO Be Reduced,

WAsHISGToN, Dec. d
The Postmaster General will soon send
to all Postmasters of leading cities cir.
cular, of which the following is an ex-
tract:
The increasing deficiency in the Post
oiiice Department is assuming such pro
portions rs to demand strict and rigid
effort to reduce expenses, with view to
curtail this great deficiency. One of the
largest items in the annual expenditures
OF this department Is the expenses of
the Postotfices. This upon examination,
is found to differ very materially in
Offices OF the same Class which are in
huenced by the same condition of
service. The appropriations for these
expenditures for the fiscal year are 3D.

rate will be S3,340, 900, leaving a deficit
OF $4,000 | have determined upon an
investigation of all the offices, to be made
by agents OF the Postothce Department
who are thoroughly versed in all the de-
tails OF Postoifce work and requirement.
with view OF discovering the amount
necessary to be appropriated for the next
ensuing year.
In connection with this, | deem it adj
vlSaole To reorganize the clerical force
of all the offices of the higher grade,
SyStematiZing the labor and basing the
compensation of the clerks upon the
quahty and amount of the service per-
formed and introducing system of APP
pointments ana promotions that will
enable you 10 reduce the force and ex-
penses 10 the lowest limit, and increasing
The eftlclency Of the service to the great
est extent; while at the same time the
payto individual clerks may be increased
II increase is demanded. This reor-
ganization is absolutely necessary TO
carry out the object proposed, and will
receive the attention of the agents de-
tailed Tor the examination of the Offices"
The PostmasterGeneral suggests TO
fostmasters that they forthwith submit
draft of such scheme of organization
OF their respective offices AS they may
