pny or the census CIerk..

To the Editor OF THE REPUBLICAN:
The volunteer clerks of the census who for
eight months faithfully discharged every duty de-
volving upon them, were deprived from receiving
their monthly salaries. Their pay was very small
at the most, but insufficient as 1t was, they were
forced to depend upon brokers. giving the latter
large discounts and faring hardly upon the in
sufficient sums received. These clerks trust that
Congress will be Just toward them aud allow
them one months ex ira pay. When these clerks
volunteered ull promotion ceased, and employees
receiving but $40 per month were placed upon the
same grade as those receiving slOo talying and
tabulating, both grades performing the same
amount of labor. This arrangement continued
during the term of volunteer work and without
any adjustment at the close of the volunteer SER
vice. trust, Mr.. Editor; that our just claim for
one months extra pay Will be concurred in by the
committee. Our salaries were entirely too small
for the laborous statistical work performed.
Many ofthe clerks so engaged are out Of employ
ment and the small amount OF an extra month S
pay would be of great advantage TO them at this
time Some of these (the writer among them)
have by forced labor seriously injured their sight
and general health. Surely Congress win be
magnauimous and make these clerks happy In
receiving what they sojustly earned-one MONTH 3
extra pay. EX.CLERK.

The Commitments Of the Season.

We have received the following from
the Civil-Service Reform Association of
New York:
NEW YORK, July "a, 1882.
Editor NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,;
DEAR SIR: My attention has just been called to
an article in your issue of the 7th instant request
ing of me further particulars" Had the request
been addressed to me at this office could have
responded earlier. l now take pleasure In for.
warding to you copy of our last annual report,
containing the information which you desire,
Yours, very truly, WILLIAM PoTTs, Secretary.
We also received the copy of the annual
report of the executive committee of the
association referred to in the above
Mr.. Potts has our thanks for these cour-
tesies. The concern appears to be con-
Quoted on business principles. During
the year two hundred and thirty thou
sand documents have been distributed,
chiefly gratuitously. The treasurer rem
ders his account, by which it appears that
the amount received from assessments
was $6,2275l, of which $3.50 was for
"annual Dues" and $4,727.5I from Sub
scriptions," or voluntary contributions" T"
Let us hope that this was not Tex
torted from the poor clerks" to whom the
association has been sending circulars
crying down the opposition shop Of Jay
Hubbell. The only objection to this
system Of assessments practiced by the
Civil-Service Reform Association is the
decentralization that would be caused in
the public service if the "poor clerks +"
should give unwillngly in the fear that a
refusal to give might incur the displeasure
of the Reformers, and cause the latter to
labor for their removal for not running
with the Reform machine. However,
we are not concerned either as official or
committeeman, and perhaps the salute OF
the campaign committee to MIR. Potts's
committee ought to be Give and let live"
