A Lady's Idea of Etiquette in the
Capitol.

TO the Editor Of The .Eceniag Critic:
While waiting in the marble room in
the Capitol the other day, we noticed an
officer step up to gentleman who had not
removed his hat on entering, and ask him
to take off his hat. This was proper and
right. But does the code of etiquette in
the Capitol embrace as much as it should ?
Ladies and gentlemen are insulted there
daily by those who 60 in and out smoking,
leaving disagreeable odor through the
halls, and even in the House and Senate.
Who among the officers take cognizance
of this? Everywhere throughout that
beautiful building the marble floors are
deiaced by those same tobacco users, who
regard neither the feelings of the ladies,
nor Capitol etiquette, if there be such a
thing, on the subject.
In comparison with this, the breach of
etiquette ON the part of the man who did
not remove his hat is not worth noticing.
On the day this occurred, lady, resting in
the rotunda, had to leave her seat on ac.
count of a man who sat putting a cigar in
her face. Here is chance for some men,
ber of the House or Senate to immortalize
himself by preparing code of etiquette
for the Capitol, excluding tobacco, and
everything that offends the proprietes Of
the place, and brings reproach and suffering
on the innocent as well as the guilty.

A Just Complaint from the Navy
yard.

To the Editor of the Eceaiag Critic:
We recognize your able journal as the
only champion of the oppressed working.
man. We know you keep posted on all
subjects. Now, won't you be kind enough to
give us the reason why SO many discharges
are taking place in the Washington Navy
yard. The Construction Department, the
department of the yard, has discharged
nearly all the men in its employ, and what
few are left have been given to understand
that their days are numbered.
The employees of the other departments are
working on half-time, and they too will
soon have no work at all. When some of
the autocratic naval officials were asked the
other day how long the men would have
to remain idle, one of them said "Oh, we
don't know; we don't run the Govern
ment." "Why," continued this snob,
"son't you fellows enlist in the service +?
Men are needed for the ships that have re-
Gently been fitted OUT
Isn't this rather cold comfort, Mr.. Editor?
Is il the correct thing for these fellows to
faunt skilled mechanics in that way T?
Most of the employees of the yard have
large families dependent upon them for
their daily bread, and when we protest
against being thrown out of employment,
we are told by some brass'buttoned upstart
to enlist in the navy at sl3 or Sl4 per
month. Again i ask Whose is the fault oi

Do you not think your correspondent,

CRITIC, is little of " in some of his re-
marks? particularly the following: "As to

imply that he and his fellow clerks are

seems to me that as much as the former

them in q false position. Neither is it in
good taste 10 call those " sharks who, at

Have the Commissioners Acted lille.
gally?

WAsHINGTON, Jan. 20, 1857.
TO the Editor Of the Erening Critic:
As your paper has become the medium
through which the public are enabled to
enter their complaints against official mis-
conduct, desire to call the attention of the
public to an act of the District Commission
ers which has lately come to the knowledge
of the residents of Virginia avenue, between
Third and Four-and.a.half streets. 1t ap-
pears that they have granted John Miller,
who owns and runs wood yard on that
block, a permit to build switch-track
from the main track of the Baltimore g.
Potomac Railroad across the sidewalk and
into his wood yard. If this is permitted to
be done, it will reduce the rental value of
property in that neighborhood from twenty
to forty per cent, and will be most dan
gerous obstruction to the sidewalk, as large
numbers of children pass that way to the
schools. / am told by good authority that
the Commissioners have no such power, and
that should Miller persist in laying down
the switch, that he will become responsible
for all the damage he may do the property
holders adjacent, and he can make up his
mind he will have as much law as he wants
before he gets through with the matter.

THAT ECONOMY is wealth has been
den onstrated by Carl Schuz pronounced
as if spelt "Shirts'). He served four years
as Secretary of the Interior upon salary of
$4,000 year, and at the end of that time
papers, valued at $750,000. Vile men who

THE LETTER-cARRiERs.
INEQUALITIES in their Pay. and an
Appeal for Relief.

We print herewith communication
pointing out the inequalities in the present
system of pay and promotion of letter
carriers, and advocating a measure pro-
posed for the proper adjustment of the
same. We heartily concur in the sugges-
tions of the writer, and hope that Congress
will act in the premises promptly. The
lettercarriers are the hardcst-worked ON
ploycs of the Post-oflice Department and
their pay and chances of promotion should
be on a scale of corresponding liberality;
TO The Editor Of the Erening Critic:
Under existing law (that of February 3,
1871 regulating the pay of lettercarriers,
the cities of New York, Baltimore, Detroit,
Cincinnati, Brooklyn, Pttsburg, Boston,
Cleveland, st. Louis, Washington, Chicago
and Philadelphia are divided into three
grades-frst class, second class and third
or auxiliary class the first class receiving
salary per annum of $1,000; the second
class $500, and third class Si00.
BY reason of the following proviso in
section of said act-to wit That at no
time shall the number of carrims in the
first class receiving the maximum salary
of 81 900 be more than two. thirds or less
than one-half of the whole number of car
ricrs actually in service in this city in
which they are employed "--the second
and thiid class carriers are dependent upon
casualties such as death, resignation, dis
missal, or increase of force to occasion a
vacancy for their promotion. Under
this proviso, according to the average
vacancies occurring in the high grades, the
last of their number will not have received
promotion for at least ten years, or possi
bly, fifteen years.
For the relief of these classes Gen.
Bingham, the chairman of the Post-oflice
and Post.roads Committee of the House of
Representatives, has introduced House bill
1407, which reads: Appointments of let
ter. carriers in cities having the minimum
rate of pay and promotions from the lower
grades in said cities shall be made to the
high at the expiration of one years SER
vice on certificate of the postmaster to the
efficiency and faithfulness of the candidate
during the preceding year. All laws in
consistent herewith are repealed" Now, If
House bill 1407 should become law, it
would remove the proviso in Section 4, OF
act of 1879, thereby advancing the second
class carriers to the frst-class Isl 600
grade) at the expiration of one years ser.
| vice, and would likewise advance the
third-cass (or auxiliary carriers) to the
stcond.class $500 grade) at the same period
| he fixed. The reason why they ask that
| the period be fixed at the expiration of one
| years service is that the Department is
| Impressed that carrier is efficient when
| be shall have served one year. If such be
the fact, they contend that he should be
| promoted to the higher grades when his
| year expires, and not, as now, be compelled
| TO wait upon vacancies to occur before re
| ceiving promotion. 1t is to be hoped that
| Congress will give the subject their earliest
consideration and pass this just measure.

An Appeal from the War Depart
ment.
TO the Editor Of he Ereaiag Critic;

To the Editor Of The ECeaiag Critic:
The Republican Of Tuesday morning pub
lished an excellent communication, asking
that full justice be done TO the watehmen
and messengers of the War Department in
regard TO the restoration of their full pay
for the year it was cut down. The pay Of
the watchmen Of that Department was re-
stored to its original amount two or three
years ago. and the pay Of two messengers
was also restored; but they were not re-
imhursed for the years reduction.
The laborers Of that department were
wholly ignored ia the matter Of relief, and
il seems nothing more than right aud
proper that they should be restored 10 their
former pay and reimbursed for the amount
lost. Let Justice be done 10 all alike 50
that the laborers aud employees OF the War
Department may receive the same treat

THE question now puzzling the quid
