Mr.. Trumbulls Misrepresentation.

WHAT GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS, CHAIRMAN
OF THE CIVIL SERVICE BOARD, SAYS.
lFrom Harper's Weekly.l
We understand that Senator Trumbull is
constantly repeating in his speeches in Illinois
and elsewhere a statement that twenty-five
per cent of the revenues of the Government,
or, as he expresses it in figures, more than
$95, 900, 900 are annually lost through the cor
ruption and incompetence of the Admins
tration. And this assertion he justifie. by
an extract from the report of the Civil Ser
vice Commission of Dec. 19, 1871.
Senator Trumbull made the same allega-
ton in the Senate last winter, and, if we are
not mistaken, was promptly informed of the
exact scope and grounds Of the statement
made by the Commission. But as an appar-
emily strong point can be made against the
Administration by declaring that its own
friend, bring this charge of loss, the Senator
does not hesitate to repeat constantly what it
is hardly possible that he believes to be true /;
nor do we learn that he has anywhere stated
that he believes it to be true.
The facts are these:
The report of the commission is discussing
the tendency Of the character of the evil
practice of the civil service which began with
Gen. Jackson and his "spoils'' principle, and
which is ardently supported by many active
politicians ofall parties, presents in detail the
various mischiefs and results from it. Among
the considerations which the report presents
il the want of economy in such a system.
But it does not assume that this can be pre-
cisely stated, nor doe. it make any assertion
of its own. What the report does say is
this:
"It is not easy to compute in figures the
exact economical difference between good
and bad system of the civil service. 1t is
necessarily a matter of inference and OF
comparison between the probable operations
of a careless and careful method. But it is
calculated by those who have made careful
study OF the facts that one-fourth of the rev.
enue of the United States is annually lost in
the collection, and for a large part of that
loss system of the service which is fatally
unsound may reasonably be held response
ble."
1t will be observed that the commission do
not say that fourth of the revenue is lost.
What they do say is that of loss which care
iul student. compute to be one-fourth large
part may be justly attributed to an evil sys-
TEN of the civil service, which they had al
ready stated not to be peculiar to the Repub-
lican party nor to this administration, but
which this admistration, first of all, was en-
deayoring to reform, as the mere fact of the
report itself showed. 1t is to be regretted
that in their desire to make their report as
concise as practicable the commission failed
to explain this statement more in detail.
They were intent only upon showing the bad
results of a system which extended over pc
riod of forty years, and which had been
adopted by every administration of all par
ties-results which, had it been their object
to make partisan pamphlet, they would
