OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, Nov. II, 1871.


WASHINGTON, Nov. II, 1871.
THE CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION
for the past week has been engaged
in discussing the subject of compet-
ative examinations. So far so good.
Would it not be more beneficial,
both to the government and the
people, if they would only employ a
few of their leisure hours in ex-
amining into the status of some of
the larger fish, those who handle the
government funds ? Can they not
give us a reform in this quarter (? 1t
is needed here more than III any
other place. Frauds have become
SO numerous of late that if they do
not attempt a reform in this direc-
ton very soon, | have the best as
s,lrance for saying that Congress
will take the matter in hand, and
pass law providing that none but
men of known honesty and integri.
ty, shall hold these positions,
and that those who recommend
person for such positions, shall
be held accountable, as well as
bondsmen, for the faithful execution
of the duties required of the person
they recommend. This may to a
great extent do away with the loose
manner in which some of our public
officers transact business.
1t is the duty of the Commission
to look after such things; it was
instituted for this purpose. A great
many of our prominent officials are
beginning to look upon the Com
mission with disfavor, because they
lave not made a move in that di-
rection, instead of spending all of
their time discussing wheth-
er q government clerk that can
do sums in geometry, should be pro-
NOTED when his fellow-clerk who
has good common sense and bust
ness tact can only work out sums in
arithmetic.
AUSTRIAN MISSION.
Just now our fashionable circles
are in a futter in anticipation of the
expected marriage of Air. Robson,
Secretary of the Navy. This mar
riage.has been reported as to come off
time and again, but the time passed
by and the bachelor of the Navy
Department still remained single.
Now dame rumor hasit that he will
certainly throw off his bachelor
robes early in December next, and
as bridal present, the President
will tender him the position of Min
lister to Austria
Mr.. Jay, the present Minister,
writes to the Department, that he
cannot serve in that capacity much
longer, and would be gratifed if
his resignation would be accepted,
as pressing business engagements re-
quire his attention in this country.
A few days ago the grand jury
of this Territory, found true bills
against Hon. VIM. 3. Stokes, OF
Tennessee, and Victor G. Powell,
of the Second Auditors Office, for
defrauding the government. No
day has been set for the trial
Stokes has employed able counsel,
and feels confident that he car
prove his innocence as soon as the
case is brought to trial. The gov.
ernment, it appears, bases its proof
on documentary evidence, and this
of the most positive kind. The
amount involved foots up to sos,
400.
WOMEN.
A short time ago some ladies
residents ofthis Territory, attempted
to exercise the elective franchise
and were refused. Feeling aggri
waited, they brought suit in the Su
preme Court of our Territory. The
case was fully argued bY able coun
