"One Female CopyKl.' IIOW TIIK CONCKEssIOXAL KCONOMI-TS "Ol XH A SCAl'KliOAT. IKroiu th Nt-w York Trilfunr.1

They found her In tlie Interior I cparu ment tu the office or the fifth Auditor. She has been there ull the time. 'VjjiJ,. the American ta-ople were waiting for ht to be produced; while Congrvs wrung iu hands and w ailed that she could not be discovered, and w bile a fierce and eager committee went prancing through all the department, with tJos4tpe and microscope, shot-gun and fishing-tackle, hunting for her as the S-nate hunt for evidence when tliere' anybody to be vindicated there she sat in the Interior I epartiiient in the office of Fifth Auditor Kla. on a high sUh1 at a de-k, calmly and deliberately sin king the lile-blotal of the Kcpublic if we may laallowi the expreiu;i and daily running the nation deeja-r and di-cja-r in debt, she i a female copyist. A such she ha la-en draw ing pay. She U the only a-rson in the Civil-crvice of thi great and trlorious Ih public w ho can la; di.-M-iiscd w ith. Think of rt a moment or, if you have plenty of time, titt-en or twenty moments iu all the department at Washington only one supernumerary, and she is a female copyist ! Thev searched with lighted candles through art of them; they summoned wcrelarie and chief clerk and heads of bun aus ; they brought in some of the ablest iitllit r of the Government from the billiard-saloon iu the neighborhood of the department, and they questioned them rigorously and closely a to tht; jas-ihility ot retn-nchmcnt by reduction of force. The belief that so'inelsidy was drawing pay w how service could just as well he (lisja nwd with amouutid iu the minds of this committee and of Congre to a conviction; Klw why was then1 a deficiency and au iricn-aw of the national debt? The pursuit of this a-rou w a fierce and eager. It was sua-cls at one time that it might la- a man. Hut in none of the department could there la found a man w ho did not support the Administration and go home ngularly to vote. The men who did the work of the departments could not be spared.and the nu n who sat upon high stiail and used quill toothpick, and dis-ciis.-ed national jaditic with each other in the various departments, wire indispensable. Without tliein the machinery of Government would hardly run. They oil it. They represent ongn sjonal districts iu all part of the L'niou. and their iuthi-ein-e i- felt at every election. Without them a gn-at many meinla-r of 1 ongres would ! obliged to rcnuiii at home, and the country would ! at the mercy of almost aiiylaaly the a-oplc might take a notion to elect. The con-tqueiice of dis-ini-iug such men would la immeasurable. It i doubtful if the country would sun ive it. And yet the fact remained that som-

boJv wa drawing pay whose wrvitf mig'lit ls dispcncd w ith, and the commit' tee projMiMil to hunt him or her down. The hourof their triumph came. They had Mtiun-il the department in vain for several day, but now , iu the Interior Department, hi the office of Fitth Auditor Kla, they scent their quarry. Fifth Auditor Kla had one female op i't w hom he could get along without. "lh coiifeed it. Very likely he jMiinted her out. And the search ended. A Mr. Matt Carja nter anuel the enthusiasm of the S-nate by hi discovery of the gTcat stationery robbery by the representative of the press, so the committee and the i-ouutry have lat-n thrilled by this siiitt-ssful pursuit of the female copyist. W hen Mr. Caria-nter thn-w hiuisclf kick in hi scat, shook the wild tangle of hi tro-ty hair, and electriticd the Senate with the announcement that he luid found where $:io.l'i of the a-ople' money had gone, it wa felt it was a step in the 'right dint tion. and that if thing kept on at that rate it would very shortly hapi-n that all the leaks would la- stopjail, and Mr. Kii hard-on would res'ime the payment of the national debt. Hut the work did not stop then'. The Committee on Appropriation of the Houw. emulous of Carja-n-ter siiitt's. niloubied their diligence in pursuit of the man or woman w ho could la" di-miseil from the public scrviif without imperiling the Government. And so the work of retrenchment g- bravely on. The female copyist ha.s no vote. iMuhtless she did nothing but sit at a de-k and write all day. taking no interest in j h lit i. and only earning a living fur iKTwlf. The propriety ot discharging her no able-lssicd man who sits on a high stool and pick hi tit th w ith a quill and talk ml i tics in any of the department will for one moment question. And now we sugge-t that thi thing ha lat-n carrietl far enough. Thi pursuit of economy cannot la' other than very wearing to the health of t ongres.. Tin y dis-coven-,1 when' i-.Ci.-l'l went and have"stos. atl the leak. And tin y have found where the force in the department run 1k reduced by the diM'harge of one It-male copyist.

Mr. Iluth-r is the man iu whose machination we have now must concern, and him we w ill take. us an example. His aim is to climb into IMiwcr by mean of a corrupt uw of th ivil-serviif over which you have control. Hi creature are given oftlct; with the ili-n-ct, almost avow ed object of defrauding; the peooic of their right to hold ftt-e cltw tiun. i:rilery, corruption. Intimidation and lie are the methods employed to attain this end. and how u-fsfully it is attained the history of the past few year can have in you, n'r, unhappily, too little doubt. The same sail story is true of almost every other State. Will you allow the name of the party, for whose jKilicy you are n-sKnibfe, thu to la-come a hyw onl of shame y W'c, sir, have held our -ace too long.
