Changes at the Treasury.

of the poor fellows who have had to step
down and out in consequence OF the reorgan-
ization of the department, he would, il any
manhood was left in him, shake the dust of
Washington from Off his feet and " go west"
or any place else where he could get a fair
days wages for a fair days work. To-day's
generalization is even worse than yester-
days. Then il was anxiety. Now il is de-
SPAR. a rough estimate of the number dis
missed TO day will approximate one hun
dred and fifty. This number was swelIeI to
such proportions by the dismissal of all
clerks heretofore borne on the temporary
rolls, as, under the new sundry civil apprO-
priation bill, all funds heretofore available
ior paying this class of employees
lapsed INTO the Treasury. Included in
this discharge are some forty females
The scenes and incidents in the corridors of
the Treasury to-day are sad in some in
stances and amusing in others. The tears
of the weaker vessels are lost in the lldi-
crous attempts of money-brokers to collect
advances they have male TO those numbered
among the unfOrtunates. One of these
brokers came rushing in after discovering
that one of his customers had been dropped.
He first patrOnized his ''client;" then he
sympathiZed with him, finally he came to
business, asked how that little matter was
TO be arranged, and was told to go where
there is less humidity than was in Washing
ton in July.
1t would seem from the remarks droppel
by those discharged, that many, too many,
nave lived way above their incomes, and il
is problem with them how now TO SOothe
irate landladies and washerwomen. Other
Sanguine ones instead of brOOling over their
troubles present or prospective, have gone to
work to get back. The telegraph brings
every hour numerous dispatches from mem
berS OF Congress interceding for faVOriteS.
Meanwhile, Mr.. BristOw is pestered to death.
Not only is he besOught by the lightning Ia
stay his hand, but is crowded with the vic
Tins of reorganization in his own room. 1t
hard for him to convince those sent adrift
that ne Is acting only as the executive of
law forced upon him by the very legislators
who now appeal for clemency for the dis
missed. Twas ever thus.
