WASHINGTON, April 9.-In response to an
inquiry from Senator'S Johnston and With
ers, the Treasury Department has furnished
a list OF its employees credited to Virginia
The law gives Virginia quota according to
her population, but in this list. there are
only few bora .fGe Vireinians TO be found.
Some OF them were recommended by Mc>Srs
PIatt, Lewis, JorgenScn, Underwood, &c,
and majority by northern congressman
and others not citizens CT Virginia, in
Guiding Kasson, Simon Cameron. General
+. +. Butler, Dclano, Allison, Kellogg, Y.
N. Stanton, Chandler, Ben. Wade, Ed
munds, Burnside, Morrill,, Blaine, General
Howard, Parson Sunderland, and other
bright and shining lights OF northern Radi-
calism. Mr. Ball was recommended by Colo
mel Mosby and General Grant, Mr.. Luger-
heel by Ii. Winter Davis, and Nh. Moore by
President Lincoln. 1t Twill DE observed that
the bulk OF The appoinlccs are credited 10
the Eighth district, which is SO convenient
to Washington that carpet-bagger from
Maine can sleep in It and do daily duty at
the departments. Virginia is similarly re-
presented IN the other departments, and ma
tive Republicans have protested in vain
against il. I asked a prominent Virginia
Republican about this list, and lie said it
was easy Of explanation. For example, lie
remarked il I and 4 New York cafpet-bag-
ger were applicants for position he would
rush to the New York Republican delega-
ton, and say TO them that he was applying
for position and was opposed by Vir-
ginian, who. while claimin" to be Repnb.
lican, was nothing but a id rebel. The
New York members would thercupon back
him, and lie would get the place, and be
credited to Virginia. He gave ME other
information, which will come out in due
time. Here is the list:
