The Work for which Clerks are
Paid at Waohingt0n.

-
Mr.. JENxs, Chairman of the Commit
tee on Pensions, in Congress, says in a
report made to the House that fagrant
frauds exist and are couhtenanced in the
Pension Department.
On proof Of the assertion that actual
fraud exists in. tho Department, Mr..
Jencks reports the following: Soon af.
ter the appointments Of the late Com
missioner, he issued an order to John
Stiles, who was clerk in the Pension
Bureau, drawing an annual salary Of
81, 200 q year from the Government, de.
failing him to act as clerk for stAe Re
publican Congressional COMMITTEES. In
obedience,to this detail, Mr.. Stiles, from
the 18th OF May, 1876, to the 4th or 9Th
of November, devoted his time to the
regular duties Of the Committee, and
With the exception Of from 80 to SO
days. during which be worked part OF
the time ct his desk. did, not 90 to the
Pension Office at all except to- draw bis
pay monthly, and on the 10Th of Janu.
ary, 1875, was promoted to the position
Of Appointment Clerk In the Interior
Department at salary of $4,000 q
year, which he now holds. sa'e ~
Another. William Caffrey, during last
Summer, was enrolled on. the payroll
Of the Bureau, and drew pay at the rate
Of 500 persmonth. but did no duty in
the Bureau, being employed BY the Re-
px6licam Committee In the language
Of the late Commissioner, he and Stiles
were SO assigned, as that was custom.
airy, as understood by all parties, and
hence, II was not considered improper
These assignments were made by YER
baldimotion OF Assistant Secretary OF
the Interior Cewen. The duties per-
formed by others were very uncertain
snd illsdefned, and when they seemed,
so far as human observation could de.
tect, to be doing nothing, they would
be found to have been detailed in the
secret service division of the Depart.
msntl The result of this investigation
4 has led Mr.. Jencks to the conclusion
that the Pension Bureau, as now loca
ted, has become cum mbersome, inefficient
and unnecessarily expensive. 1t il
4 therefore recommended that in order I'd
save duplication of work the Bureau b.
transferred to the War Department, and
payments be made through the Paymas
ter Generals Department Of the Army
