Un- til this is submitted, which will not be till some time next week, no action will be taken on the subject. As itis desired to give the new Commissioner, should one be appomted, fall control of the bureav, no appointments of su- pervisors will be made tor the present, unless some special exigency should make action ne- cessary im particular districts. 1t has been said that Attorney General Evarts in private bas expressed the opinion that the office 1s not ya- cant, but the probability of his giving an opin- ion beforehand on a subject he knew would likely come before him formally is, at least, questionable. Mr. Evarts is expected to give his opinion en Tuesday next, and no appointment of a suc- cessor to Mr. Rollins is expected to be made until after the opinion shall have been pre- sented to the President.

They returned to ‘Washington Iast night. and give a narrative ot their experience that is quite refreshing. With the speed of a “carpet-bagger” (so called) tuey rushed directly on to Richmond, arriving in the morning, went down and took a look at Libby, asked a policeman if there was any- thing to see about the city, and were shown an old redoubt at the extremity of one of the streets. This they reconnoitered, and by re- turn train came to Washington. They say that the Wilderness battle-field don’t amount to much as seen trom the Fredericksburg and Richmond cars, and as for the defences of Rick- mond they are of the opinion that there was a reat deal of “toolin” in taking them. Passing Mount Vernon they applied themselves vigor- ously to the officers of the road for information respecting the place, and were anxious to know if it would pay twogothere. They were wid that some thought it did, butone remarked that their diaries of the trip were already pret- ty full, and they guessed they wouldn’t bother with it. The reportof their trip will doubtless be highly interesting to Yale dnd their neigh- bors, who made excursions with muskets to those scenes 8 few years ago. GEN. C.C.

The Davenport (lows) Gazette says: General Schofield, the Secretary of War, nas thrown the Government employees on Kock Island into a tremendous state of excit-ment by his interpretation of the law recently passed by Congress establishing eight hours for a day's work of all mechanics and laborers who are employed by the Government. ‘wo weeks since, when General Rodman re- ceived orders io put the Iaw in force among those employed on the arsenal buildings, ne did not know whether the men under him were to draw their old wages or not. Accordingly he wrote to the Secretary of War, and request ed a ruling for his guidance. On Satarday he Teceived a eg eneral Schofield says that, 1m his opinion, the law never intended to give ten hours pay for eight hours work, and that some definite clause is inserted m the law by Congress, regulating the question of wages under it, be shall direct that the persons who are engaged on works in which the War D»- Partmentis interested shall receive fhe pay to whiob their wages entitle them, in proporiion to the hours they labor. In other words, eight hours Pay for eight hours work. The Sécrett~ tells General Rodman, however, that if the vernment employees on the island desire to work ten hours at their former wages they can 10 50. When the news of this opinion of the Secre- tary was spread among the five handred me- chanics and laborers who are employed on the different works in progress on the island, it created a great deal Of feeling. Many of them said that it they bad known this they never would have accepted the eight-hour system. Every one of them considered himself = out” two hours’ wages each day for two weeks. There was some talk of a strike among the men, we are informed, but the excitement will not culminate in that hopeless method of se- curing the desired end. we ‘The following figures show the amonuts per diem received by the different classes of em- ployees on the island, under the old and new “day’s work:” Laborer Ten Hours.

Without exception the men walked off among the rest, and commenced canvassing the questi General Rodman sent word to them that he would give them until one o’clo k to determine their Suture action, aud that all who did not answer to their names when the Ji was made must consider jarged. At the hour the roll Was ealled, one handred answered t their names, and expressed desire to go to work ten hours, while four hundred declined to auswer to the call, and commenced packing up their kits, and in a sbort time left the island. Everything was done quietly, and without any manifestation of anger. PROCEEDINGS IN TEE LOUISIANA LRGISLA- zune.—In the Louisiana House yesterday 2 Protest from the two members fast ousted, ‘with a motion to spread it on the minutes, was offered.

A meetingofladies@nd gentlemen interested im the movement lately set on foot in London for establisbing a club for the accommodation of women was held im July, at the School of Art, Oxford street. Mr, Hodgson Pratt occu- pied the chaur.and explained the objects of the meeting, which wall be found described in the following statement. A large number of young women are employed in London whose parents live m the country, and who have no Telations or triends to whose houses they cin Tesort on Sundays or on the week day eveninss when theyare atleisure. For such women sui'abdle places of resor: for recreation, study, re- fresbment and society seem 10 be urgently needed. It is therefore thought desirable to set on foo: something in the nature of clubs for ‘women, where they shail be free trom all inter- ference; but where atthe same time,the man- &zement shall be such as to secure the members: from evil influences. While there shall beper- fect lependence, opportunities shall be afforded tor the cultivation of elevauug pur- suits and refined tastes. At aclub such as is proposed, refreshments of all kinds would be supplied, together with means of rest, of writ. ing, society, and of access to books and perjodi- cals. Such places are especially needed on Sondays, in consequence of the custom which prevail: 1m many establishments of requiring tre young women to leave the honse on that aay, and it was thonghtthe proposed club would have the eflect of obviating this very serious evil. The chairman observed that this was not the first time that a similar scheme had been Proposed, an association havimg been started some time ago, under the auspices of Lord Shaftesbury, for the formation of: homes’ in connection with the Christian and domesuc improvement of young women. That institn- tron, hewever, was too directly and exclusively of a Teligious character to meet the present re- nuirement; and hence there could be no doubt t these Clubs are deserving of every encour- agement and support. Letters were read trom several ladies aud gentlemen cordially approv- ing of the project, and resolutions were passed te the following effect: * That it 1s desirable that an institution should be established for women which should provide them with the advantages generally ind at workingmen's clubs, stich as the means of recreation, society and mental improvement; and that a provision- al committee be appointed to make inquiries as to the best mode of carrying out the project, and reporting the result to a future meeting of those who may be inclined to support the undertakin S7 The dog poisoning business is done by the wholesale in Bridgeport, C Ey &7 The Madison (Wisconsin) Journal says: “It bas become quite fas Jadies to visit our quiet beer saloons with gen- tlemen, and partake of a cooling glass of beer.” S7The combination lock of the safe First National Bank of Girard, Pa., got order recently, and the officers, 6 im trying to get the doors man SOMETAING FOR THE SIck.—A correspon- dent writes: “Frequently we find sick people ‘whose Feject all kind of nourishment until conditions follow that in many instances in which I bave beard the popular sick-bed nourishments prescribed and rejected by an invalid's enfeeble stomach, I haye never known the simple sancer of parched corn pudding or 8 bowl of gruel retused.
