THE CIVIL SERVICE.
outline Of the Comnnission's scheme of
lr pl .ur Reform. t sHiUf tntns .


outline Of the Commissicn's scheme of
1870 1Il| su 1fr Reform. lHiuf tHtns i
The Washington correspondent of the
New York Times gives the following as
the main points of the report of the Civil
Service Commission, to regulate the civil
service of the Government slii F'1r'
The first feature is vestng in the Presi-
dent absolutely the power of removal from
office without assignment of cause. This
the Commission believe to be power
vested by the Constitution and not change
able, even if desirable to change:
APPOINTMENT AND PROMOTION.
The next principal feature of the scheme
is the regulations governing the operations
of appointment and promotion in the SER
vice. These are: First, entrance into the
service at the lowest point second, COM
petitive examinations at that point, and at
every succeeding stage; third, probation;
fourth, promotion; fifth, no fixed tenure,
leaving the power of removal untouched,
as above stated.
EXEMPTIONS.
The next feature is the scheme of ex-
emptions contemplated. These include
first, all the diplomatic officers above the
grade of Consul; second, all judicial Off
GERS, Judges, District Attorneys, Registers
in Bankruptcy, &C.; third, all Postmasters
whose annual reports are under a specified
sum, say $50, and several other classes.
This, 1T will be seen, leaves the scheme to
apply to large mass of officers outside of
the departments here, or the large number
of clerks employed in the customs or rev.
enue service elsewhere; all Collectors and
Assessors of Internal Revenue, all Collec-
tors of Customs and their subordinates, all
Postmasters above certain grade, all Con-
suls, all Indian Agents and Pension
Agents, in fact every officer of the Gov
eminent, whether at Washington or else
where, save as above expected, is subjected
to the operation of these rules. ~.
H. U'.r'. THE REPORT. "'f -H
The report accompanying the schedule
OF rules and regulations Celebrates and
sustains the scheme thus submitted, forth
Tying it with the arguments and conclu-
slons which have led the Commission to
adopt it. The report will, as above stated,
he submitted to the President tomorrow
and viii probably be considered by the
Cabinet on Tuesday next. M
WHAT CONGRESS MAY OR MAY NOT DO.
The President will also, at an early day,
possibly before the holiday adjournment,
transmit the report to Congress, supply for
the information of the two Houses AL
though he will be glad to have Congress
give the sanction of the law to the proposed
system, he will not wait for its action, and
long before the apple-blossoms fall, to use
an illustration of the Essex statesmen, the
public at large will see civil service reform
in full operation, and certain oVer-anXious
members of Congress in both Houses, now
loudly advocating reform, will find it put
ting the screws to the incompetent men
they have recommended for office.
