TWENTY EMpLoyes of the Bureau of Ex graving and Printing were dropped to-day. In June last when the erder was given to print the new four per cent. bonds, the force of the bureau was increased. This work is now 80 far advanced thal the necessity for the increased force no longer exists. No GoyERNMENT GoLD SALES IN OcTo- BER.—The Secretary of the Treasury gives notice that ,he will not sell gold during the month of October, as has heretofore been done for the purpose of reducing replacing legal tender notes retired on account of the issue of pew national bank notes, but will retire legal tender notes from the current bal- ance in the Treasury, which is ample for that purpose, THE New Beer STAMPS.—The Commis- missioner of Internal Revenue having ap- proved the design for the new stamps for beer kegs, barrels, hogsheads, &c., the Bureau of Engraving and Printing have commenced upon them, and reqaisi- on for them can be met after Octobert Ist.

Clark, architect of the Cap'tol extension, ap- oO nled by the Pres l yesterday a com nission to consider and report upon the con- {ition of all the public buildings in Wash. | including those in process of con or repair, have been instructed to proceed without uwlinecessary delay to make a personal and thorough examination of ail id bulidings and to report as follows: Ist. condition of each of said buildings as to security against fire,and whether auy, wud if any, which of them may be considered fire proof. 2d. What, if anything can be done without furter legislation to Insure greater security against lossor damage by fire. Sd. What action by Congress, if any, shouli be recommended With a view to place the public reco-ds now in said buildings be- yond danger of destruction by fire. 4th. To what extent said buildiogs, or any of them, are endangered by the character of their con- tents, and what can bedone to remove this danger, and in this connection the commis- sion will consider whether danger results from the use of any portion of said baildings for branches of the public service mechani- cal in theirnature. 5th. What provision, if any,should be made for the custody and safely of files not in constant use. 6th. Such views and recommendations a3 may occur wo them touching the general subject. Bureau of Engraving and Printing PAYMENT BY PIECE AND NOT DAY’S WORK. Secretary Sherman to-day approved the following letter submitted to him oa the 28th inst. by Hon. Edward McPherson, chief of bureau of engraving and printing: “The grading of pay made for the bureau in your letter of 3istof July, did not affect the pay of the great mass of female employes. Their pay remained at $1.50 per day, as il existed on the Ist of May, when I took charge. soon after putting in operation the rules es- tablished by you at that time, and especially the one locating the grade number-d three, known as “experts,” it becameappareat from 5 of the daily reports of work es, that the system of an y per diem’ standard worked essen- injustice as between employes. An ob. servation of two months bas convinced all concerned in the organization and man- agement of the bureau that a change from payment by the day to payment by the piece would be essentially just, would tend to dil- ligernce acd promote the efficiency of the force. The problem has been toestablish a rate in the various divisions which woald enable those doing a good day’s work to earn $1.50 per day.
