tbs bill to be reported by Mr.. Ran
dalrs Committee On Appropriations will
include about twenty-five millions Of dol
lars, and the saving to be effected is es-
timated at seven millions OF dollars. The
following rule has been adopted; The
clerical force in all departments is to be
reduced 20 per cent, and the working
hours increased from six to eight hours.
All salaries with the exception of those
of cabinet officers and clerks receiving
less than $1,000 a year are to
be reduced ten per cent. This
includes the members Of Congress.
As the total amount of appropriations,
which are not the nature of permanent
charges on the government, is about one
hundred and forty millions of dollars,
Mr.. Randall can save the promised forty
millions by insisting that the same ratio
Of reduction shall be sppliedto the leCis-
lslive, executive, and Judicial establish
ments. The exigencies of the times and
the necessities Of the great mass Of non
o~fice-holding people demand sever re-
form. 1t is a noticeable fact that redue-
tions Of salaries does not reduce the
number Of applicants for Office.
Congressman now receive about
Eve Thousand dollars per annum Re-
duce their pay to three thousand dollars
and there would be as many candidates
az ever, simply because not half Of those
who 20 there could earn as much in any
capacity at home. The departments
about Washington are crowded with
clerks, male and female, who receive
less than a thousand dollars q year, and
thousands Of %impecunious applicants are
turned of annually. An observant for
eigner at Washington might readily infer
that there are but two classes in this
country: ofice-holders and applicants
mostly the latter.

TIE New York Herald discovers 8
great deal Of intellectual feeblenesa in
the new Congress, but excuses the Dem
ocratic side on the ground that the party
has SO long been excluded from public
trusts both in the Federal government
and the greater part of the State govern
ments that it has not had equal opportu-
mites With its rival for training up a
body Of rising statesmen. Talents for
public life need to be developed by ex-
perience, and a long exclusion of the
Democratic party from power has stifed
and kept down abilities which might
have been respectable il they had had
access to the only school in which the
art Of government a be we'll learned.
Most of the Democratic members Of the
House are new men who have their ex.
perience yet to acquire. The eonse
quence is that a few old stagers-men o.
secondary capacity, but OF long service
in Congress-enjoy the kind Of eminenct
like that conceded to the one eyed kiHl
of the blind"

THE taxpayers Of Memphis were as
tonished to Learn this morning that the
expenditures Of the City Engineers De-
psrtment for 1874 amounted, according
to the monthly reports, to $l07, 4445s,
while the aggregate report shows al ex'
peRditure Of $llS,O6 6 SO. Either item is
enormous and outrageous, considering
the fact that we have nothing to show for
such a lavish outlay. There is a current
impression gaining ground that the City
Engineers Department needs a thorough
overhsuling. But where is the expert to
do it2 1t will be hard to convince home
folks, strangers or the marines that any
such a sun was economically applied to
city improvements. Look at our streets
and alleys; look at the wharf in its filthy,
miserable condition and the stones fall
ing into the river; look at the decayinl
condition Of what few public buildings
we have, and then let somebody whc
knows rise up and explain where thiI
prineely sum has vanished.

To the Editor of the Ledger:

To the Editor Of the Ledger:
Retrenchment and reform is nov all
the cry. Why not put it to a practical
test7 The Chief of Police now receives
$500 per annum. His efficiency is &C.
knowledged by all and taxpayers do not
murmur at the amount paid him for his
invaluable services, but why should the
city pay q Recorder q salary when the
duties can be performed by the Chief Of
Police at no additional erpensel Chief
Phil R. Athy would, if the duties were
imposed upon him, render the same at
tention to them as he nov gives 10 the
management of the police department,
and there are many reasons why the
Chief of Police Of a city the size Of
Memphis should act as Recorder. To
begin with: 1t will Jaw the city the sal
airy Of a Recorder. The Chief Of Police
can always be found in his Office to issue
a city warrant, when it is necesssry-a
great consideration. Then, again, act
ing in double capacity, an arrest made
by the police could receive immediate
attention and by so doings save the city
a large expense she now has to pay to
feed prisoners who are kept in confne-
ment until the morning following their
arrest.
If the present General Council desire
to truly carry out in acts the great spirit
of retrenchment, which is now sweeping
throughout the country, let them consol.
idate the offices of Chief Of Police and
City Recorder; make the Chief act With
out additional pay, and let him only
look 10 the interest Of the city by trying
city cases and turning over all State
cases to the nearest magistrate. This
will be a direct step towards retrench.
