In the petition it is set forth that the duties of the clerks are greatly increased by the recent new order for payments to the army tailing the writing of hundreds of checks, and the counting and placing of currency in envelopes addressed to the individual soi- dier. It is also called-to attention that ni age to clerks is prohibited by reason of the new order. ‘The clerks, continuing, explain that they do not have advantages for promotion, «=: as are enjoyed by clerks in the classitied service, nor have they, as clerks, the right to petition except through superior officers The duties performed. they say, are pecu- larly different from those of other clerks as constant re and accuracy is exacted by the paymasier, owing to the dishurse- ment of public funds. The petition further eclares that the payments made the pay artment of the army are annua! increasing, and consequently the volume of work is correspondingly greater. 2- Public Schools, In The Star's Almanac for 1806, on page 17, will Le found intere: ‘sting information conceraing the public schools of the District, At all news stands and at The Star oMfce, Price, 2c. copy. me to Visit Us, When it was announced some days ago that Li Hung Chang, the famous Chinese statesman, and for many years had been appointed to represent the en peror at the coronation of the Czar Crariva of Russia at Moscow in Mi John W.
