THE CIVIL SERVICE.
Outline Of the COMMISSIONS scheme oil
Reform.

Outline Of the COMMISSIONS scheme of
| Reform.
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.
The first feature is vesting in the Prcsi-
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 specified
sum, say $50, and several other classes
This, it will be seen, leaves the scheme to
apply to q 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-
to,s- IF Cpct0DoC ard thoir hordinotoS oil
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.
THE REPORT.
The report accompanying the schedule
of rules and regulations Celebrates and
sustains the scheme thus submitted, forth
flying it with the arguments and conclu-
sions which have led the Commission to
adopt it. The report will, as above stated,
be submitted to the President tomorrow,
and will probably be considered by the
Cabinet on Tuesday next.
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.

by the chair, would probably have to ask
to be excused as chairman. I don't know
what my friend from Massachusetts (Mr.
Sumner) means when he speaks of the
Senators here who are opposed to this in
quiry. | don't know of single Senator
who is opposed to the most searching and
thorough inquiry into any charges of cor
ruption, by whomsoever made in this
chamber. Every Senator who has spoken
on this subject has declared himself in fa-
vor of thorough investigation, and ask
my friend to read the names of the men ON
this committee, and say if there is man
there that he believes would cover up cor
ruption? l consider this committee an
eminently judicious one. This is the first
time Ill my experience in the Senate that
have ever heard a committee objected to
on account of the character ofits members,
and [ am glad that the first experiment
has been tried upon Senators against whom
so little can be said.
Senator Trumbull declined to serve on
the committee

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-The Appropriation
Bill for the expenses under the Treaty of Wash
| ington has been passed.
The bill regarding the Louisiana election has
been transferred from the judiciary Committee
to the Committee on Elections and Privileges.
The Senate resolution allowing the Retrench-
ment Committee to hold a session in New York
was adopted.
Davis offered resolution directing the Com
mittee making inquiries covering the whole
ground of the alleged corruption Edmond
| objected Morton wanted resolution adopted
to squelch his resolution which went over.
Robertson called up the House Amnesty bill.
Buckingham, Chairman of the new Retrench-
Mr.. Davis and others should have been
hanged.
Alcon favored the bill,
Scott, chairman of the Kuklux Committee,
favored the bin, as removing pretcxt for ku-
klux outrages.
Wilson announced that he would vote for the
bill, not as a matter of right or expediency, but
as matter of grace and mercy.
Morton moved an amendment, that amnesty
should not be a reprieve as regard United States
officers. Adjourned without action. q
HOUSE. "
The Committee on Civil Service desire 10 en-
quire regarding the expediency of law electing
postmasters by the people.
The Post Route Bill has been passed. ra
The Labor and Education Bill has been re-
sumed.
The Postmaster General was called upon for
the names and circumstances of the straw bids
for Southern mail contracts, with the particulars
Of subsequent awards.
The resolution expressive of regret for the
execution of the Havana students, was, at the
request of Banks, referred to the Committee on
Foreign Affairs. &
The Labor Commission bill was resumed, and
the amendment requiring one of the commits
sioners to be practically identified with the la
boring interests and limiting the commissioners
term of Office to one year, adopted.
Mr.. Cox moved as an amendment, that the
commissioners be chosen regardless of political
or partisan, consideration, which was adopted and
the bill passed by vote of 134 to 81. The bill
as passed provides for three commissioners, who
shall hold Office for year. The commission
ers are to be from civil life and practically iden
titled with the laboring interests, and the ap-
poIntments are to made irrespective of politics.
THE President is to nominate and the Senate to
confirm.
