Lee. Such is not the case, however, as the property ‘ not held under the conf'scation act, not having belonged to Gen. Lee. At the death of Mr. Custis, a lite interest in it was bequeathed to Mrs. Lee, his daughter, and at her death it was to go to b's grandson's, Custis and Fitzhugh Lee. The taxes upon the propery having accumulated during the rebellion it was sold thercfor, aud purchased by the government; thus it will be seen it is held by virtue of a tax citle. Sub cquently efforts were made to redeem it by paying the amount of taxes, but ro far have been ursuccesstul, and the title is etill vested in the government by virtue of the tax-sale alluded to. As the Arling tonestate has now been converted into a great national cemetery, and is tilled with the bones of those who fell in the war of the rebellion, it can not well be used for any other parpose, aad its posession could hardly be desirable to the Lee tamily. Parks at Huntin —We understand that the propr etors of the rew towa of Hunt- ington, on the Baltimore and Potomac raijroad, have given to the place two handsome parks which are to be surveyed and laid off, fenc and otherwise much improved at an eerly day. ‘These parks are boih centrally located in said town, and lie one upon either side of the rail- road, and each embrace groves ot tire shade trees, tine springs of water, etc. We are glad to see this; it is what makes a country place agrce- able and pleasant. Our people do not want to go into the country to be hovsed up just as they are in the streets of the city. Jf Huntington is to be laid out for all to enjoy in common, with parks for daily resort, and with sufficient asaur- ance for being built up, we predict that at this important point of our new railroad will be found a pleasant and happy neighborhood for our towne-people. To in a measure repay them for the liberal donation of these public benefits, the proprie- tors have, we understand, decided to hold the building lots surrounding and fronting these parks at fifty dollars each, instead of twenty- five dollars, at which latter figure the lots are now selling. All will admit that the lots are well worth the money in either cese, and that the parks will be a continual pleasure to all residents there. A number of ovr city people are already erecting future homes at Hunting- ton, and all certainly looks most prom’sing. We shall look forward to the entire success of this suburban place, and endeavor to trom time to time advise ovr readers of progress made. Army Orvicers DiscHaRGEp.— Captain Wm. P.

EXCITEMENT IN SAVANNAH.—Secretary Bout- well received a dispatch yesterday trom Mr. Kobb, Collector of Customs at Savannah, an~ nouncing that he found the flag at half-mast on the custom house in that city yesterday, out of respect tothe memory of ral Lee, by or- der of the Deputy Collector, but that he (the collector) had the flag atonce hoisted to fi mi This — had —- consider: 'e people, ‘no little excites therefore telegraphed to know if he sustained by the department. The Sec- retary replied that his conduct was ved, it not being the custom to half-mast the flags on the public buildings of the government ex- cept in crses of the death of some high official or ex-oficial of the Federal government. THE FEMALE CLERKS. THE ORIGIN OF THE SYSTEM. THE TREASURY FORCE. Their Duties and How they Discharge them—What Gen. Spinner Thinks of them, and what They Think of Him—What they do with their Money —They will Talk— They will Look in the Glass, etc., etc. Female clerkships so eagerly sought after by appljcants from ail parts of the country are no obtained, as the force in the Treasury Department, and its various bure , has been reduced to a standard, and no appointments ar made except to fill vacancies. The intluence brought to bear by the fair applicants in many instar is very great, and oftentimes th= officials are besieged by lady office seekers who plead with tears, and recitals of stories of wan and suifering for positions. FEMALE CLERKS A SUC It is only within the past ten ye: have been employed in the Treasury, but the experiment bas proved a success, and as long as we have a currency there will be ample work for them, for which they have been found tfectly competent. The total number of em- ployes in the Treasury building is about 3.000, about 1,100 of whom are females, including 5) employed in the Printin” Bureau. THE FIRST FEMALE CLERK in the Treasury Department was appointed un. der the administration of President Bucbanan. She wasa Mrs. Ridgate, widow of -ludge Rid- gate, formerly of the Solicitor’s Office, and daughter of Wm. Kt. King, Esq., who resided or F street, near lith. Mr. Buchanan, during his visits to Washington betore his election, boarded with Mrs, King, the mother of Mrs. Kidgate, and was always very friendly towards the family Atter his election and inauguration Judge Kul gate died, and Mr. Buchanan then appointed his widow to a clerkship in the Department, at 4n annual salary of 31,40, which sue filled very deceptably for three or four years, when she re- signed and married a prc nt physician of sect This lady was the only female em- ploye in the Department until July Ist, 1851, when Mrs. Fanny Steele, a sister-in-law of Hon George Harrington, then Assistant Secretary of ‘Treasury, rece an appointment at 25) month, upon recommendation of Gen. A. Doubleday, and was assigned to duty in the retary’s office. She held her position until he summer of 1599. Mrs. Steele was ot a tinguished tamily, her grandfathers being Com- modore Chase,of Maryland, and Commodore Barres. who commnaded at t! battle of Blac nsburg, in the last war with Great Britain. THE VIEWS OF SECRETARY CHASE. In the latter part of 1862 and early in 1892, after the beginning of the rebellion and our troops began to occupy southern territory, many families came to this city having no mears of support cretary Chase, who then presided over the Treasury Department, appointe’ =~ eral females to positions therein’ as copyists and counters, who came highly recommended, and were no doubt very deserving. Mr. Coase « not favor the appointment of tema’ partment, but said he was compell the core 0: charity, and to save many f volute want. This seems to have been the inau guration on a prom‘scuous seale of the appoint- ment of temale clerks and counters, and since that time the system has been well tested and fally establishea. NOW EMPLOYED. ‘There are now employed in the Department, exclusive of the Printing Bureau, between six and seven hundred temales, main! 's offices; but also a number in the offices of omptroller of the Currency, Third, F Fitth Auditor’ he Printing Bureau ploys between tive and six hundrea, exelusiy thee above mentioned. Those first employed were a: signed to duty a3 clippers of the marc.r~ of netes and s.actional currency, but upon tris! it wasfound that the delicacy of their touch beter fitted them to count coupons and frac. tional currency, and in this class of work they vve apt to surpass the male tellers. Some are gcod accountants, aud rapidly run up lengthy columrs of figures. THEIR DUTIES. ‘The duties of the female employes in the de partment are as multifariors as those of th sterner sex. Copying, making entries in rec ords, writing letters, counting money, &e., are their principal duties—a larger number proba- bly being employed in the latter service than in any other branch. ‘The ladies tor the most part do’ their work satisfactorily, and their hand- Writing is distinguished for legibility and neat- ness. “In the Treasurer's office it has often been remarked that the remit r Mistakes in counts, and less counterteita than f.om other offices where male clerks exclusively mploved. In the Internal Revenue buresa, ister’s, Comptroller of the Currenc: ’s, Third, Fourth, and Firth Atiditor’s otf *es, a large number of femal: s are employed as clerks, some of whom are ve-y notably expe- ditious in their work, and asa whole they seeu to compare favorably with the male clerks. COUNTING FRACTIONAL CURRENCY. The work of counting mutilated fractional currenc’ and le,al tenders received fur redemp- tion frou all parts of the country, is done en- tirely by females. In counting they excel the male clerks, as th ani tleir fingers mors pl to run over a packa; In counting legal tenders they ty the male clerks, as their HANDS ARE NOT LARGE ENOVGA to grasp the bundle and seperate the notes quickly. The redemption division has 177 femalesemployed in counting money, some of whom count as many as eighteen or twa: thousand notes during the <ivhours, from nine tothiee. About $20,000,004 montti in this division, assorted, packed, recorded, & Fach clerk receives one or more packages to count in the morning for which she gives a re- ceipt, and in the evening returns it, but is com- pelied to promptly report any error immediately upon its discovery. : the tinal count of all coupons, legal tenders and fractional currency, after redemption is made in the redemption division of the Secre- tary’s office, where about sixty females are em- ployed and their duties are similar to those above mentioned. RESPONS'BILITY FOR MISTAKES, ‘The rule of the office is, that every counter must refund the mouey for counterfeits over- looked in her bundle. This is necessary, as re quicker abling them at rapidity. are not equal is own private means to make good the mistakes of all his clerks. Very few mistakes oceur, however, as all of hia counters are exp:- nenced, and reealy detect a counterfeit, no matter how perfect it may be. Immediately upon its detection it is returned to the oftice from which it has been received, where the amount must be made good. WHAT TREASUER SPINNER THINKS OF THEM. Gen. Spinner never hesitates to say that the experiment of employing females in the de- yartment is an entire success, and in‘the manip- ulation and counting of fractional currency he declares they excel the male clerks. He stron, Ir urges classification of the female clerks giving them higher salaries. ‘Thus tar he has promoted three temale clerks in his office to fret class clerkships at $1, an bis intention to promote others aa reseed cur. He exercises a fatherly care over his em- oe and is always disposed to yd ions fair chance to show ity in the 5 from his kind Deactedeees auinns poser rs regard to their intelligence and capacit; be says they wili detect a counterfeit quicker than men.’ In the ex) ve pressi General ‘‘She cannot tell you wh; feit because a areas WOMAN CAN'T REASON &d—n bit, but her perceptions are quicker than those of a man.” He does not believe in ualizing their salaries with that of the male ris because they then be thrust out of their by men, who have votes, and thus bring influence to bear to secure the positions. WHAT THE LADY CLERKS THINK OF THE GEN- is counter- He is much esteemed by all of his lady em- ployes, as ap evidence of which his pfficial table s daily covered with fragrant boy by delicate hands, luscious fruit in season, in this gray-haired, kind-hearted old ge’ olds a place in the regards of a'l in that younger men might en Durmg cess, about noon, a bevy ot girls may be found in his’ office propounding dozens of 4 which he pleasantly answers, and at t time contin *s to sign his name to the hundreds of papers requiring his signature. for he never allows ‘k to interfere with his business. He prides himself with justice upon the integrity and correctness of ail the business of his office, and kind as he is toa fault, everything must be are tothe extent of a penny, or a figure in © work of his bureau. WHAT THEY DO WITH THEIR MONEY, A great majority of the female clerks receive $90 per annum, theugh very few save anything outof it, A large number have families de- pending upon them for support; others haye no one to provide for but themselves, and spend their earnings in dress and all kinds of tom- foolery in their efforts to ontshine their neig! bors; Yet quite @ pumber save somethi F salaries, many ot them giving their treasurer, five or te ir salaries every month, wh in his huge sate until enoagh is sa bond. Already some vt the eight or mine hundred dol lars worth of bonds apiece, and a pretty large number have from five to ten fitty-dollar bonds. WILL TALK, Althongh repeated efforts have been made by the officials to put a stop to the chatter of the female employes, nothing bas been accom- plished towards stopping their tongues during office hours, and all hopes of breaking up thi= practice have long since been abandoned. Talk to each other they will, in sp f all threat. coaxing, and promises. Yet. as a general thing, they are attentive to their business and prompt in their attendance. “HOW DO T LOOK?” Somebody has said that a lady cannot pass a lcokingglass without viewing herself; at any rate not one of the many girls leare the office it @ parting look in the mirror, a final ad- justment of the hat, anda glance at her general appearance, ending by an adjustment of the skirts before making an exit to the street. THEIR PERSONAL APPEARANCE, as a general thing, is neat and becoming for of- ficial duties, though there are of course many who put on more style than is absolutely neces- sary. ‘The counting of money tor redemption is considered ditty work, many of the notes be- ing greasy and badly mutilated. Most of the clerks having this work to perform cover their arms from the wrist to the elbow with a half sleeve, and with neat aprons in front save their dresses trom being soiled, and al present a neat appearance. se0e- PRESIDENT GRANT AND PARTY AT FREDERICK. ‘Their Visit to the Fair Grounds—The ‘Trott Mateh—The President's Favorite Second tn the Race.

THE TROTTING. ‘The day ended with trotting matches, whieh are thus described by a correspondent of the Baltimore American.—The judges’ stand was assigned to the distinguished visitors. Great men are generally fond of horses, and the gen- tlemen who gave eclat to the trotting match terday were no exceptions to the rule. The Tol- wing horics appeared in front of the judge= stand at the call of the bugle: White Mo’ nm, entered by Robert Renwick; General ar entered by Dr. Tate; Nellio Whitedeot, enter: by Samuel Brengle; and Honest Jolin, euter by C.D.
