We do not sea why Mr.. Register Bruce
should be retained in Office any longer. A
Treasury clerk told the correspondent of the
New York Herald the other day that the
clerks of the Registers Office were exceed.
ingly anxious that a new Register should be
ppointed. They were also anxious that the
man who shall be appointed will be one who
will attend to the duties of the Office. He
says Mr.. Bruce, the present Register,
has not spent on an average one hour in
his Office for each day that he had held the
position, that he has taken numerous trips,
remaining away sometimes as much as two
months. This was the case last fall, when
Mr.. Bruce was engaged in making speeches
in the Ohio campaign, and later on in the
Presidential campaign. There is theory
that the Register has personally to sign all
bonds, and certificates of stock, but he
said it was on a theory, as the Deputy Regis
ter, as well as a couple of clerks detailed
for that purpose. have signed Mr.. Bruce's
name thousands of times. he Complains
that there is combination of the older
clerks in the Office against the more recent
appointments, which makes work very an
noying to the latter clerks. What the clerks
want is Register who will give some attep =
tson to the Office, reform some of lis prac.
tices and break up the combinations. The
position pays 81, 600 per year. General Rose.
