Retrenchment
Summary
Citizens paying taxes will be pleased at "retrenchment" in Provost Marshals' offices and other departments under the control of Sec. [of War] Stanton. Capt. Naill, local Provost Marshal of the draft, is ordered to reduce the number of clerks from nine to three. A reduction in the Quartermaster's Dept. is likely to occur and soon perhaps all these offices which were called into existence by the war will be abolished.
