THE Civil Service.

Grants costly civil service reform
commission has adjourned without even
taking into consideration the subject of
deyising some means of keeping the Off
GERS of government, from the President
down, at their posts, while drawing their
salaries. The amount Of economy in
the public. expenses that may be expect
ed from tho learned labors of this Nadi-
cal Commission, is illustrated in a rather
sinister manner by their raid on the
Treasury, Thursday, collecting for their
scrviccs, tie very handsome per- item Of
fifty dollars each. Whether they also
drew mileage to and fro, the telegraph
fails to mention.

the wrong done to private citizens, by
tho abseuc, Of Heads Of Departments
from Washington, All acquisitions from
the War Department for the payment Of
money must be signed by the Secretary
of War in person, and the authority can
not be delegated to MI Assistant Secre-
tlry or any other subordinate. A gem
tleman from Nashville, who has been
going through all the forms of the red
tape business for five or six years i'll his
efforts to set u claim Of $500 for prop
erty seized during the war for army pur-
poses, has at last had his claim allowed
by the Qnartcrmaster's Department.
All that was necessary to enable him to
get his money was the signature Of Gen,
Bolknap TO the requisition. Gen, Bclk-
nap is in tho West, and consequently
the claimant must now wait until the
papers can be sent to Kcokuk, Iowa, for
Secretary Delknap's signature, and re-
turned to this city. This is not an OK
ccPtional case, but just such things are
occurring almost every day in the De-
