As to the matter of Department clerks going home to vote, which isexciting interest in Depart ment circles in connection with the fall elections, there has been an order issued recently. The order does not take from the clerks the right of franchise, as 1t has been stated. On the contrary, it 1s rather more lberal than the rule in force heretofore. ‘The old custom of permitting a short leave at election time in addition to the regular thirty days, has not been in practice at all under this administration. Clerks have been tted full Uberty to go home to vote when the public Dusiness would not suffer from thelr absence, without regard to their party proclivities, but thé tme thus consumed was charged against thelr. thirty days, and it they “had exhausted this “leave Before they could not go. Leave of absence in excess of thirty days has been allowed only in cases of sickness, and then without pay, or with part pay through 9 substi tute. ‘The rile now permits clerks to go home tor the elections, and if they have leave due them, 1t will be counted against that; if they have not, they will receive no pay for the time they are ab- sent. Thus any clerk can go home to vote it his official duties do not demand his presence at the Department, as is the cage in the ordinary matter ot leave, if he is willing to have it count against his thirty days, or to lose his pay for the time of absence. During the last Congressional elections Dut few clerks were willing to devote any of their leave to the patriotic purpose of the polls, and the probability 1s that they will not forfeit a few days pay with any more enthusiasm, Four Hundred and Sixty Acres Re-= claimed, PROGRESS OF WORK ON THE POTOMAC FLATS. Col. Hains reports the progress of the work of the Potomac River improvements for the month ot August. About one-half of tho area of the tidal reservoir has now been dredged to depth of 8 feet, The dredging in the Virginia channel pro- gressed rather slowly. The material is hard, and consists largely of sand, The embankment around the outer margin of the flats, section 2, and the adjacent margin of the tidal ‘reservoir, was fl- ished on the 20th inst. Fair progress Was mado onthe embankment ‘of section 3. ‘The trench 1$ now about 120 feet wide. ‘The embankments near the tidal reservoir are now about up tohigh water. ‘The work on the reservoir outlet progressed tairly. ‘The cofferdam, which had given much trouble, ‘Was securely braced and many leaks stopped. The dam is now secure and work can progress rapidly. In executing the project aimed at there bas been dredged a channel 350 to 550 feet wide and 20 feet deep, between Georgetown and Giesboro' Point. ‘The Washington channel has been di wa ‘Width of from 200 to 350 feet.

Hon. 8. 8. Cox, of New York, arrived in the city last night, and early this morning he paid a visit of inspection to his residence, now in course of erection near Du Pont Circle. A Stan reporter met him Just as he returned and he expressed him- self as satisfied with the progress made in the con- struction of hishouse. He laughingly remarked, “I expect I shall sell it after taking all the trouble to build it.” When Tae Stak reporter sought to sound Mr. Cox on the subject of politics, he said really do not know what is going on politically; I have been diligently engaged in lterary work during the summer, and I have two books ready for pub- Ucation.

He said there are too many necessaries taxed to think of taking the tax from whisky. While he had no means of knowing just what the protec Uontst element would do, no presumed from what he had heard and read that it would insist upon the Tepeal of the entire internal tax, “Not only party policy, but pubic policy, the public good," "Mr. Cox reniurked, “demands that prompt action shall be taken by’ Co! in the way of tax reduction.” Oguid he have his way, he said, the burden would've removed from thé necessiries of Ufe, but, he ed, he would agree to some compromise 1f that wuld ac He said he really had heard nothing in regard to the organization of the next Louse St Represent atives, nor had he given the subject any thought. — ee ean A MILLION FOR THE STREETS, Col. Ludlow will Make Liberal Esti- mates—Proposed Final Extinction of Old Wood Pavements.* Col. Ludlow hes instructed. Capt. Griffin, who is 1n charge of street improvements, to include in his estimate for new street improvements for the next year all the old wood pavements for replace- ment. Ingiving Capt.Grmin a memorandum to this effect, Col. Ludlow calls his attention to the fact ‘that it appears that some of these old wooden pavements have been covered with gravel, and have disappeared from the maps as Wood pave- ments, In the same connection Capt. Griffin has been instructed that the estimates for street improve- ments may be made up to the amount of $1,000,000. Col. Ludlow says that the District has a surplus to its credit, and he thinks the condition of trict finances and the needs of the District streets Justify asking a million dollars for improvements of this Kind. “In connection with these estimates Capt. Griffin will prepare a table which will form’ the basis of distribution _ of the improvements among different sections of the city. This distribution will be made, Col. Lud- low says, according to the area, population, taxa- Die value and condition of need’ of each section as Yo street improvements, except where there are Special considerations to influence tho matter of the distribution. “Where a street_has an old wood pavement to be replaced, or bas the remains of an old railroad on it, or there is a special demand for opening a line of communication, improvements may be made without regard to the quota of 1m- provements the section may be entitled to under the plan of distribution. ‘A statement prepared by Capt, Griffin shows that there are about 15,000 square yards of old Wood pavement to be replaced. ‘Thisis all tn the southeast section, as follows: C street trofa 4th to 6th, north side of’ Seward place; North Carolina avenue and Sth streets, on Same square; 4th street from Pennsylvania avenue to C; D from 7th to 9th, south side of square; D from Pennsylvania avenue to 8th, north side of square; the extension of South Carolina avenue to Pennsylvania avenue, on the same square, and 7th street from D to the south side of South Carolina avenue, ge ‘The Aqueduct Extension.
