The facts are a* follow*:Congress at thc last session provided for dispensing withthirteen clerk* in one divinion of tbe Post oilice Depart*incut. Nearly all the clerks In that divinion were woolan

whose ciericu! abilities were far above tho avers**. Be¬fore Jud.se Howe died, be toldthem tlmt ut the beginningnf the next fiscal year, when the reduction waa to tanaeffect, be would provide for aa many of them as he couldIn ttber divisions or the Department. They were allneedy an- deserving persons as well aa excellent 3lerkt,and he thought be could make room tor them. WhoaGeneral Gresham came into office the sltuatlou wa* ex¬

plained to Bim. Upon investigation be round that theservices of certain clerks could be spured and theirplaces tilled to the advantage of the Government witatb* women clerks who wore about to bc displaced bythe action of Congress. None of these clerks wera per¬sona iiy ii uo sr a to him. Ho did not hesitate io make th*change.

In the publication above referred to the case of oneclerk who was removed is described os a very hard otto.That clerk ls .-puled to be a maa in comfortable circum¬stances.

in order to make a uew appointment.
