d. G. Cox. one of Grants civil service
reform commissioners, seems to be about
as much in need of being looked after as
any of the clerks for whom he was ap-
pointed TO prescribe moral qualifications.
This Radical reforner was with Delano
in the internal Revenue Department, and
when his chief was transferred TO the
head of the Iaterior Department he was
transferred with him also, and made chief
q clerk of what is known as the De-
partment of Ohio. When pay day came
around Cox not only drew his pay
fer his new position, but proceeded as
1l well to draw money for his services he had
ceased to render in the Revenue Bureau.
How long be would have continued at this
sc business can only be surmised, as the
Trea ury Department getting wind of it,
compelled him 70 disgorge. He has done
noihIg, however, to lose the confidence
of the administration, as he has been in
trusted with the important duty Of pur-
chasing supplies for the Cherokee In
diaDs, and he is now absent in New York
for that purpose. lie viii also superin-
