THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. THE EMPLOYMENT OF CIVILIANS IN THE WAR DEPARTMENT— The Force to be Reduced — By General Urders No. 9%, dated November 11th, and issued from the War Departmen: this morning, the Secretary directs that— “The employment of civilians in any branch of the service clerks, mechanics, laborers, guards, or forany purpose for which soldiers could be detailed without manifest injary to the service, is strictly probibited, except in cases where civilian clerks are allowed by beads of bureaus to chiefs of the staff depart- ts. ‘he authority of the commanding officer sball be requisite for the employment of hired labor. He will caus the proper staff officers to Teport to nim the circumstances which render the same necessary, and will be held strictly Tesponsible that such necessity exists. in all cases where a commanding officer authorizes the employment of civilians, he will immediately transmit copies of his order, together with the report showing ite necessity, to the Department Commander, and to the bead of the proper burean of the War Depart- ment. Should the circumstances not justify the order, the expense will be charged to the officer who gives it. * Chiefs of bureaus under the War Depart- ment will examine critically the roils of civil employees retained by thelr subordinates, and order an immediate reduction to the lowest limit practicable: and will also see that steps be taken at once to execute the above orders “Inspectors will pay special attention in their reports to the manner in which all orders for reduction of expenses in thearmy are being executed.” THE EXPENSES OF THE PosT OFFI Ds. PARTMENT.—A paragraph published a few days ago relative to expeaditures of the Pos Office Department erroneously states that there will be a deficiency of two and a half millions upon the estimates of expenses for the fiscal year ending June 0, 186%. tis learned trom the department that there will not be a deti- ciency this fiscal year, but receipts and ex- penses will comegvithin the estimates and ap- Ppropriations. The report of the Postmaster General, now in course of preparation, will show, however, a probable deficiency of over two millions for the fiscal year of 1569, pased Upon &n estimate at the rate ef six per cent. in- crease of expences for that year, which will Probably result from establishment of new Toutes, etc. GENERAL GRANT aND THE PRESIDENCY.— J.

Gen’) Grant immediately turned the conversation to another subject. Mr. Morphis again brought up the enbject of the Presidency and said— “General, we want torun you for President, and 1 want to know what I can say when I return home.’ General Grant replied, «Say nothing sir. I want nothing said.” HOvsE RENTR IN WASHINGTON—Go from Home to Hear the News.—The New York Mail of yesterday says “High rents have bad their day, apparently, in Washington. What with the hundreds of b ‘3 which have recently been buiit, the dismissals of thousands of government em- ployee, and the ceseation of the immense influx of contractors, jobbers, aad brokers, and lobby- ists, there are now more lodgings than lodgers; prices are falling rapidiy, and the — is everywhere to be seen—“Lodgings to be Let.” Rents, we are happy to say, have fallen con- siderably from the bigh figures of the war years, but there has been no such depletion of the population here as stated by the Mai/, and anxious inquirers fail to find - lodgings every- ‘where to let.” TsE White Hovexr.—A very large number of visitors were admitted at tne Executive Mansion this morning, many of whom had an interview with the President.

INTERESTING STATISTICAL FIGUERS FROM THE CONFERENCES. A careful compilation of the summaries of the official statistical returns from the several annual conferences of the Methodist Episcopsl Church in the United States, exhibits a mar- velous progress during the past year. There are (S annual conferences, an increase of four over the previous year. This increase has been obtained by extending the work in the South. The new conferences organized are Virginia. North Carolia, Texas, Georgia and Alabama, and the records show the number of traveling preachers, An increase over last year of 413. Jocal preachers an increaséof333; members 1,144,763, an increase of 112,579. The number of churches (houses of wership) is 11,13, being fn increase for the year of 576; number of par- Sonages, 3,570, an increase of 256. The total value of these church edifices and parsonages is $41,012,479, being an increase for the year of . ‘The increase in parsonage proper- ty alone is nearly a million of dollars. Of the centenary returns full reports have not yet been made, some ot them being retained by the local committees for revision and completion, but up to the 4th instant thirty-seven confer- ehces had reported a total of =6,141,/27. The returns from the remaining conferences will swell this amount to over seven millions of dollars. While there has been a failing off in the amounts raised for missions, the totai be- nevolent contributions, exclusive of those for the centenary cause, are in excess of those of Sny previous year. The reports from the Sun- day schools aiso show @ very encouraging ad- vance. There are over s million of pupiis an- der tne Supervision of about 175,000 officers and chers.

She has for a mber of years been very infirm, so as to be le to repose only by sitting upright im her air, and the supposition is that, tired of the painful life of constant affliction she was doomed to lead, she in desperation termioated her existence im the bloody manner stated. About two o'clock in the morning her daugh- ter came down stairs, and at that time the old lady was sitting in her chair as usmal, but at sunrise she was seen by a passer-by lying with her head and onearm projecting from the open street door, in a pool of blood, quite dead, with ber throat cut from ear to ear. Two large butcher-knives, covered with blood, were found lying by her side. She had evidenti: found one of the knives too dull to accom; lish her and the bloody marks of ner bai were seen where she had ,ambled for the second one. Coroner Wm. Early, of Bris- tol, held an Inquest upon the { ody of the un- fortunate woman, and the verdict of the jury ‘was, “ ThatHester Albertson came to her death from 8 wound in the neck, inflicted with a butcher-knife in her own hand.""—Trenton (N.

Precisely at the last-named hour the Ra: sian forts and fleet fired salutes in honor of te lowering of the Rassian flag, but the flac would not come down. In lowering it tore its entire width close by the halliards, and floated from the cress-trees some forty feet from the ground. Three Kussian sailors then attempted to ascend the inch and a half gay ropes sup- Porting the fiag-siafl, but each failed to reneh is nal emblem. A fourth ascended ina boatswain's chair, seized the flag, and threw it ina direction directly beneath him, but the motion of the wind earried it off. and caused & sensation in every beart. Five minutes after the lowering of the Russian fiag the stars and stripes went gracefully up, floating hand- somely and free, Mr. Geo. Lovell Koussean having the honor of flinging the flag to the breeze, the United States steamers Oasipee and Resaca at the same time honoring the event by firing salutes. As the Russian flag was lowered Capt Pes- trechoff stepped forward and addressed Gen Konsseau as follows: General—As Commis- sioner of his lmperial Majesty, the Emperor of Russia, | now transfer and deliver the ter- ritory of Russian America, ceded by bis Ma)- esty, tothe United States.
