MAKING ROOM FOR THE ADDITIONAL DIVISIONS OF THE PATENT OFFICE. ‘The Indian office,on Monday, will be removed from the Interior department building to the rooms Dank, formerly occupied by the census bureau. The reason for this change 1s the necessity for providing additional rooms for the Patent office. The employes of the Patent office have been occupying over-crowded rooms for some time, and at the last session of Congress. the situation was made worse by the creation of three new bu- reaux and the addition of over tlity to the exainin- ingand clerical force. The commissioner had es- Umated that forty-five additional rooms were needed, on the basis that ench of the twenty-five divisions required an extra room, besides the divi- sion of issue and the rooms nece: for the stor- age of the records. ‘The creation of the new divi- sions made it rbsolutely necessary that rooms should be obtained. ‘The Indian office occupted 12 rooms, and while these would not. be sufficient to mect the needs of the Patent office, it was better ; than nothing. ‘The necessary room could have been secured by the removal of the land ofiice, but there was no place for them to go, and that will robably de deferred until the new’ Pension bulld- ing 1s compieted. ‘The assignment of the rooms in the new building has not yet been made, butit 8 thought that all the bureaux of the Interior de- Partment, with the exception of the Patent omice and the Indian office will be removed to the new bullding. The Secretary or the Interior will probably. retain his ofiice where it now is, as the commissioner of Indian affairs has decided to do. Mr. Price re- fuses to follow the Indian oftice in its moving. Segoe The Disputed Assignment. JUDGE WYLIE DISSOLVES THE RESTKAINING ORDER. Yesterday afternoon Thos. J. Clark, the defendant in the suit of F. P.

Hains, in charge of the fortifications of ‘the Potomac river, in his annual report to the chief of engineers says that the condition of Fort Foote, which 1stwo miles below Alexandria, is one of utter dilapidation. The magazines, which at the Ume of suspension of operations in 1874 were in an unfinished condition, are rapidly going to ruin. AS the parapet on the water front was never com- pleted there would be no cover for the few guns that could be mounted. There are five gun plat- forms laid, four front and one center pintle. ‘They are bullt of conerete and granjte, and are service No guns are mounted. ‘The bufldings are all constructed of perishable material, and are rapidly. going to decay; but as the fort is not occupied by troops, no repairs are recommended. No work bas been done on the fort during the past fiscal year beyond its protection, preservation and repair 0 fur as possibie with the general appropriation iade for this purpose, and ne other work is con- templated during the current scat year; but an ap- Propriation of $50,000 1s asked for “the ‘next fiscal year. Of Fort Washington Col Hains says that 1 asemated work, Lie coastruction of which Was begun In 1816, ‘The masonry of the old work |S Stull In good condition, Dut ib 15 not adapted to re- celve guns of modern'style, or_for defensive pur- against such guns, In 1872 1t was intended nvert the demi-lune into a battery of modern construction, with guns of large caliber. ‘The platforms for four of these guns were built and the magazines partially so when the Work was suspended for lack of funds. ‘Three other batteries were planned, but no work has yet been done on them, At the present time the defenses known as Fort Washington consist of four 15-Inch gun platforms, without a parapet in froat of them and without ‘magazines. “The 2pounder barbette guns in the old fort are practically worth- less. ‘This fort, together with Fort Foote, a work of less strength, if that be possible, constitute the defenses of the’ capital of a great nation. The bulldings unoccupied by troops are generally in a dilapidated condition, but_no repairs are recom- mended, as it 4s of more importance to mount a few guns and to finish the magazines and parapets. An appropriation of $50,000 is asked for the next fiscal year. ee A Defenseless Country. GENERAL NEWTON TO ASK FOR LIBERAI, APPROPRIA- TIONS FOR FORTIFICATION The reports upon the fortifications in different Parts of the country have all been received by the chief of engineers. They represent the general de- fenses of the country tobe ina most deplorable condition. Noavork was done last year, and the condition of the fortifications ts wors® than when last year’s reports were made, as decay has been continuing its work. Gen. Newton, chief of engl- in his annual Teport will show the detense- yndition of the country, and will make recom~- lions for lberal appropriations to make nd improvements, HOW THEY MENTS—ATTEMP” THE OFFICIAL ARE TREATED BY HEADS OF DEPART- 70 COLLECT MONEY THROUGH TPRRIOR OF THE CLERK. ASrax reporter was talking this morning with Mr. Josiyn, the acting Secretary of the Interior,in regard to his decision published in yesterday's STAR, rela- tive to a claim made upon the department for the | collection from clerks of money loaned them. Some hing was sald as to the extent which the tment Ought to exercise its power in this ular. iment, does not propose to collect ny one,” remarked Mr. Joslyn, “ but. nition 1S recelyed that clerks refuse to for the necessaries of Me, for the food upon which they lve, then they are required to pay. The idea is that when a man neglects to pay for fond, 1S clotiing, Ms rent and over necessa- whcn he has the money, he is not fit to be in the government‘ cmploy. There fs something wrong within. But when the department ls asked to collect notes for money loaned at usurious rates of interest, or Mquor bills, and obligations of a similar character, the request is refused, because these peo- ple can take care of themselves.” It 1s not only the people who are interested ina pecunlary way that write letters of complaint to the departments about the employes. Every sort of grievance of a social and private nature fnds its way, in one form or another, to the oficial superior of tle clerk. In some cases the letters are referred. to the clerk. and in other cases no attention 1s paid tothem. Not long ago a letter was received from awife, stating that her Wusband, who was em- loyed In one of the departments, did not support ter, and asking that he be required todo so. ‘The husband was informed that a complaint of this na- ture had been made, and he was allowed to make his own Inferences.” The question of the right of employes and the powers of a department 1s one about which there 18 no uniform ruling. Each de- partment exercises discretionary power, and this is regulated to a large extent by the kind 6f man who happens to be Jn power in the department Mr. J. R. Hertford writes a letter to Tie Star, referring to an article published yesterday in refer ence to certain employes of the Interior department Who fatled to pay back money borrowed from the Hertford Loan and Savings assoclation, saying that publication in part of Mr. Hertford’s ‘letter to the department, end not the whole, and the reason of the Secretary for refusing recognition of the claims presented to him at his own request, is calculated to give the public a wrong impression.

Both parties have men at work scour- ing through the departments and the Congressional Library collecting data to be usedon the stump.

The most work Is devoted to Senator Logan, whose political history has never been treated of | minutely. His ante-bellum record is pounced upon and devoured by the democratic “birds,” who claim it to be a rich morsel. They are seeking to elaborate what they claim to be his pro-slavery record and are digging out everything in his past and present political acts which might be made to Appear inconsistent with his present declarations, ‘They are trying, also, to get up an antl-clvil service record against him. MORALITY AND POLITICS. The department officials are becoming warmed up to a fighting condition, and many are restless in their desire to make the campaign hot and ag- gressive. Considerable disgust is expressed by many of the most aggressive among them that the “Cleveland scandal,” which was started at hi home and circulated by some of the democratic papers, is being allowed to die out, and they are ‘urging the campaign m: TS to revive it and make It a campaign issue. hey remember that Curtis and the other Independents have declared that this fs not a campaign of politics, but of men and morals,and If that ts the case al hing refiect- ing on Cleveland’s moral character should be seized. ‘upon by the republicans, They urge that in the absence of any public record whatever his private record becomes iegitimate campaign property. The Managers are inclined, however, to use the records. of the parlies rather than the men, except in. par- Ucular cases, as that @®the Irish, when the can- Yass Will be made on personal grounds. LOOKING FOR SOMETHING FOR THE GREENRACKERS. The effort to secure the greenback vote will be very great. From all localities where this element is particularly strong the committee are recelving urgent requests for financtal doct is and argu- ments to strengthen the repub: mn upon this questi “AS no documents of a financial ch: acter have yet been prepared for circulation, th tariff having occupied the most of their attention, they will have to Issue some of thts class, and they. are a little troubied as to where they are to get the Material, In tie past sesston financial questions Were alinost entirely Apaened and nothing new or Amportant 1s furnished by the record. Heretofore the periodical statements were very valuable to in- form the public of the condition of the fnances, and furnished the party good material upon which to base their arguments in favor of the national bank em under thelr management, but the democ in Congress have put a stop vo this by falling to make an’ appropriation for the complla- tion and printing of these statements, and it 1s against the law for the government oMicials to fur- nish them, even at thelr wn expense, for merely political purpose. In consequence they will ably be jorced to use a reprint of the old docu Ss of the last campaign, together With such matter as can be gathered no THE FUSION IN WEST VIRGINTA. Upon their fusion with the greenbackers of West Virginia the republicans place their reliance for carrying the state. Their only anxiety ts lest their allies should not stand by them. A West Virginia Tepublican, who had considerable to do with the arrangement in the state, said to THE Stak man. to-day that it all de the greenbackers lived up to their agreement. “My experience With them,” he said, “4s that they are @ pretty slippery set ot fellows. They are generally or sale, and we have to watch them to see that they don’t sell us out. If they stand by us we will carry the state for Blaine; if they desert us we won't. That's the situation in a nut shell.” Every effort will be made to cement Unis alllance, and guard against treachery. eee ‘The New Cruisers. THE ATLANTA AND BOSTON READY TO BE LAUNCHED.
