sae ne pti arte gre soragcengone: naa i i 3 —— Duly SATURDA ¥, DEC. 11/1569. Tar Crvu. Service.—One of: the most iniportant matters to be brought before Congress is the proposed bill for radical change of the civil service of . the country. This proposed change is embodied in a Dill presented in April last, by Represesitative Jenckes of Rhode Island, and that our readers may have an idea of the system proposed, '. we give the following synopsisSec.1. Requires competitive examinations as preliminary to all appointments to office, except in the case of Postmasters and offices requiring sena' torial confirmation. . Sec, 2. Creates a board of four commissioners to be nominated by the ‘President and to hold their office for{ five years. Their diities are defined to be— : ~ “fo prescribe qualifications for admission into every branch of the civil serTo provide for the examination of applicants. “To establish rules for conducting such examinations, and to designate time and place in each section of the United States for holding them. To conduct these examinations, or to appoint examiners for the 3 © report their proceedings annually. to Congress. Sec. 3. Prescribes that appointments hall be made on probation in the order of merit as, reported by the examiners, and regulates promotion in office; onefourth of all promotions to be made for merit, i ive of seniority. # Bee. 4. blishes a fee of five doljars for examination and ten dollars for & Céftificate of recommendation—all such fees to be paid into the United . States Treasury. _Bec.5. Empowers the board to pre. scribe rules for removal from office fer misconduct or inefficiency, after due trial. Sec. 6. Permits the board to appoint assistant examiners. ' BS ec.7. Directs the heads ef departments.to suspend or dismiss their subordinates according to the finding of the board, after due trial. ’* See: 8. Empowers the President to dismiss from office, but such dismissal is not to take effect if the officer demand a trial and is not found guilty of the allewaal , See. 9. Provides for the salaries of the commissioners and the expense of . the: board. Sec. 10. Empowers heads of departments to require their existing subordinates to undergo exainination, and all not found qualified to be dismissed. Sec. 11. Requires appointees to serve in any part of the country to which they may be ordered by the head of their department. See, 1b, Declares all citizens of the ~ United States eligible to examivation aud appointment, and permits beads of departments to designate the branches for which females may be eligible after passing the necessary examinations. Sec. 13. Empowers the President or Senate to require applicants. for office not tncladod? in this ti to undergo examination, This measure is strongly advocated by Harper's Weekly, and its editor, George W. Curtis, has delivered a nom. ber of lectures in advocacy ot it. Its friends claim that it will have the effect of keeping’ bad and incompetent men out of office, and enable good ones to hold their places with fair prospect: of promotion, and that the civil service, taken out of the field of politics, would become.as respectable as the profession of the atmy or avy. Officers being no longer:dependent-upon the whims of their superior, .will discharge their duties . faithfully, and the nation will gain in reputation, morals and money. There is no doubt but.the present sys tem las been used as a lever for corrupting the politics of the country, and that many appointments have been madé on the score of party services without regard to the character or capacity of the appointees, If this reform would ‘secure to the country a release from the evils it ought to be adopted. In the last Administration the whole power of the Federal Government was used to carry ‘out the peculiar policy of the President, and’as a consequence many appointments of unscrupulous yand corrupt, men were made. It is true many reforms higye already been made “by the present Administration, as will be ev from the improvement in the enforcement of revenue laws, but the same power exists, and in politica) contests the temptation is strong to use it, All parties have done this, and its corrupting influences have been lgmented by the best men of all parties: 4 et . EvEeRyTuise For-Partr.—In total . Dill changing the time %F the lection . of Saperintendent of Schools io’ Sen Legislature by the Democratic majority on. Wednesday last. The minority was “not even granted an opportunity to examine the bill. This was done on the first day of the session, before the Governor's message hasl_heen received . the Assembly.” The Senate for’ mere party purposes passed a bill, repealing the law by which an officer was elected, extended his term and changiag the mode of election. This wag done simply because if was probable that the Board of Supervisors would, on next Monda} select John Swett as Superintendent to succeed Denman, the present incumbent. To effect this purpose the rules were suspended before the ink which recorded the iradoption had become dryupon the records of the Senate, and the bill passed the Senate before the Legislature had an existence. The Assembly had not then completed its organization, and in their undue haste it may be that the Democrats have defeated their own scheme, as in this case the question will be tested whether a law can be passed before the Legislature is organized. We hope that the action of the Legislature in this case is not an indication of the policy members intend to pursue. In this instance we are warranted in saying that courtesy to the Governor, respect for parliamentary usage and consideration for the rights of the minority, were all sacrificed to carry out a partizan scheme. Tue Postmaster General's report shows that the-ordinary revenues of ‘the Department for the fiscal year ending Jane 30, 1869, were $18,344,510 ; expenditures, $23,698,131. Cresswell holds that the deficiency is due to three causes, namely: Depreciation of paper currency, unpaid postage on printed matter, and the franking privilege. The first he regards a temporary evil, which cannot now be remedied; the second can be remedied by a stringent law, the passage of which he recommends, and the third should be aliolished. By these means he believes the Department.can be made self-supporting. The practical operations of the Department during the year were. satIts business wag increased materially, proving that a more extensive correspondence has been superinduced, doubtless thereby. A greater efficiency in the transmissijn and delivery of the mai!s, and careful revision ard readjustment of pay on the railroad routes, are recommended. Creswell urges the necessity of some legislation te encourage the re-establishment of an American line of transatlantic steamers. During-the fiscal year the money ‘order office increased to 1,468; the re ceipts to $176,247, of which there was a surplus over expenditures of $6,553. Farther extension of the system is reconimended, its steady success having proved its utility and the confidence of the people inits safety. On June 80th there were 27,106 Post Offices in operation. Creswell recommends the adoption of numerous meastires calculated to increase the efficiency of the Department, THREE sunken treasure ships are reported at Lloyds.One is the Hamilla Mitchell, with $250,000 on board, lying at the bottom of the China sea, eighty miles from Shanghai. Asother is the Steamer Carnatic, sunk in the gulf of Suez, with $245,000. The third is the Lutine, buried in a sand bank under sixteen fathoms of water, with no less than $5,000,000. Colonel Gowans, who raised the sunken Russian’ fleet at Sebustopol, proposes to send divers down to the Lutine next summer. Ea ASSEMBLYMAN Oates Spraks.—In concluding some remarks on the elec. tion of Chaplain in the Assembly, Representative Gates said, “the best policy was to read the Lord’s prayer every morning.” Sam's head wag eminently sound on this proposition. Such a course. as he suggests would save time and money, and besides the members of the Assembly would have an opportu: nity of becoming familiar with that SR.
