It is proved that men convicted of flagrant crimes, of offences that peculiarly disqualify them for pleas of trust, are nominated to the public service and appear before the Commissioners with the most flattering testimonials of character. It seems, therefore, essential to the public interest that, if character is of any value at all, there should be some impartial tribunal to investigate the evidence attainable on this head. But it is not only contended that these inquiries into character ought to be abandoned, but that if the Commissioners do inquire into character, the analogybetween themselves and a private individual looking for • good servant does not hold—that inquiries of • minute and private kind that might be perfectly legitimate in the ease of an individual, would become "shabby," and in fact intolerable, if pursued on behalf of the Go vernment. A claim is therefore made that if the inquiries into character are continued they shall be neither secret nor searching. " In this matter of " searching for character," says " A Civil Ser "want of Thirty Years' Standing," " it is quite " as easy to go too far as it is to go not far " enough." "We want," he adds, " inquirers " who can overlook per... , tilloes ; who can shut " their eyes to early scrapes ; who can forgive se " well as pass judgment." And he wane confi dently that the secret inquiries now made must be discontinued. The points thus raised seem to resolve themselves into the question, whether the inquiry into character as a condition of employment in the public service is to be a reality or a form. If it is to be a reality, the Commissioners must continue to seek the best evidenoe on the point that is obtainable, and in order to do this the result of their inquiries must, as a rule, be kept secret No doubt, the teak of carrying on inquiries of this 'as under such conditions is a very delicate, re nPNRA and BACK GLASSES, by NEGRETTI ll sod 1411:611.A.

The chief safe guard against these evils is to be found in the cha racter of the Commissioners, in their sagacity and Tax question has been raised is the columns of a contemporary as to the manner in which the Civil Service Commissioners discharge one of the most difficult and delicate duties 'reigned to them. By the Order in Council they are required mot only to subject every candidate for the public 'Der ek* to examination, and satisfy themselves m to his attainments, but also to ascertain " that the' " character of each candidate is such as to qualify " him for public employment." In carrying out this part of their duty the Commissioners have found it impossible be rely on the testimonials to character produced by the candidates them selves. Evidence of this sort, produced by those who have an interest in it, is, of course, open to • certain amount of suspi cion, and the Commissioners have found, by abun dant and decisive experience, that it is in vary many cams utterly worthless. In their ninth report they give a list of between twenty and thirty candidates who produced testimonials from pewee of the highest social position, bat allot whom they were compelled to reject ; simply becauseit was dis covered that they had all been previously convicted of flagrantly dishonest practices. One, for ex ample, who had produced written testimonials of, the highest kind from persona of rank and station, including two peers and four major generals in the army, " had previously " absconded from • militia regiment, in which "he held the rank of adjutant and paymaster, with " between 1001. and 2001., and bad also been con " vioted and imprisoned on • charge of having " obtained goods under false pretences."

The news width I gave you a few days ago upon good grounds, that if the government should think it safe, after the municipal elections, some con siderable extension of existing liberties would be granted, is ventilated this evening by the Temps, which, in an article observing that the last organic liberal measure dates so far back as the letter of November 12, 1861, alludes to rumours of some thing new about to be done ; and, while pretending Ito be in doubt as to what the character of the coming reform will be, "bananas so many elementary franchises are still wanting," concludes , by a hint that a partial emancipation of the press is at hand. The Temps has got bold of the right end of the story ; it is in that direction that the Emperor means to take his next step in his slow progress towards the "crowning of the edifice." Abd-el-Kader gave s return dinner to M. Emile de Girardin yesterday. M. M. Pereir*, IL de Lesseps, and M. Urbain were among the company invited to meet him. The dinner was served d Partake. _ . . The Emir is going to have a look at England before starting for the Chalons camp. The latest report is that be has gone to London to-day. The Mayor of Le Mans, who was not elected to the municipal council at the first ballot, has found favour with the constituency by his letter to the prefect announcing his determination to resign the mayoralty if his fellow-citiseas showed by their votes that they had not confidence in him. He alone of the municipal list was returned at the final poll of Sunday. All the other councillors belong to the opposition. It is a most remarkable sign of the times that a man accustomed to and desirous of distinction should cease to look to the central government, to whose patronage he owes the rank he has hitherto held, and throws himself upon the people. It is a curious fact that Vichy, the town which owes so much of itaprosperity to imperial patronage, has entirely thrown out the whole of the old municipal council. It is expected that the mayor, IL Leroy, will resign. The annual meeting of the bar for the election of the council of the order took place to-day. Rumours were afloat that the young advocates meant to dis- place some of the old bands ; but the result is that none but old members of the council have been elected to-day. Two mate only ',main for • second ballot. IL Mail, the counsel now pleading (on appeal) the Goose of the too new Duke de Mont morency, and on that account unpopular with the junior bar, was just squeezed out. He may, how ever, possibly oome in next week. The Juge de Paix of Fontainebleau has decided that it is unlawful to set traps in • garden to catch your neighbours cats which are in the habit of trespassing, and has awarded 15fr. damages for fifteen cats immolated. The law of this ease is questioned by some of the pipers which recommend the defeated party to appeal to the Court of Caseation. It is admitted that wild ode may be lawfully snared, and how is a trap to distinguish between • wild oat proper and that quasi wild cat which strays from its master's premises t That • house eat is private property and a domestic animal is assumed ; but the ques tion is whether it does not forfeit that character by leaving the house or doom. There is no doubt a difficulty in the came, because although you may impound stray bullocks, which also ought to keep within their owners' bounds, it is not lawful to kill them. The cat case, however, care to mind the affair of the bees related by Quintillian. A Roman landowner brought an action against a neighbour for destroying his bees. Plea, the bees infested my garden and stung my wife and children. Replication, you should have brought your action upon each sting, but you had no right to kill the bee. I must refer to Quintillian for the judgment, if the cause went so far. The settlement at the Bourse was effected to-day with little apparent difficulty, and the last quota tion of the Rents is the same as that of yesterday.
