The Vienna, Austria, correspon-
dent Of the New York Tribune is
authority for saying, that one otthe
questions discussed by Bismarck
and Buest at the conferences at
Gastien and Salzburg, was q plan
by which German emigration might
be turned from America to Austria,
and thus help to build up the i'm
dustrial resources Of that decaying
empire. The plan does not propose
to resort to any prohibitory laws,
or to use any coercion for the ,pur.
pose ofsecuring this result. 1t con-
templates reaching the desired end
by holding out tangible induce.
ments In the shape Of high wages.
The German emigration to this
country has been very great for
many years It was interrupted
somewhat during the Franco -Prus-
sian war. AS ar,lle, they possess a
very fair appreciation Of our Re
publican institutions, and being
proyerbially industrious and frugal,
they may be regarded justly as
among the best Of our adopted citi-
zens. Much Of the growth and
prosperity Of the country to-day,
may be clearly traceable to the en-
ergy and thrift Of this class Of our
fellow ci.izens While tie popu-
larity Of our form Of government
has been one inducement to bring
emigration to our shores, the desire
to come here has been greatly en-
hanced BY the cheapness Of our
lands and the superiority of our
wages. 1t is well known that Ger
many is overstOCked with artisans,
and hence the wages consideration,
especially, has exerted very potent
influence in inducing 50 large an
emigration from Germany to our
country. Approaching this fact,
Austria being limited in her supply |
ofartisans, she, taking the initiative,
will endeavor to defect the stream
of German emigration into her own
border by means Of wages induce
ments Wages in Austria are
double those in Prussia at the pres
ent time, and she now intends to in
luce families in the North German
states to emigrate into her borders,
" paying their passage, wholly or I
u part. giving them pecuniary as
istance, If necessary, and by plac- l
ng at their disposal houses belong q

ipal towns and cities Of the en- q
ile. Germany will do all she can Q
. encourage the project, by remov- q
lg all yexatious impediments r

We cannot sec how the competi
tive examination plan, by boar
Of commissioners, is to relieve TIN
civil service of its corrupting inftu
ence. We cannot sec how, as a
general rule, a more competent and
faithful corps of officials is to be
secured by its practical workings.
If the work of the civil service is
corruping now, will it be any the
less so when it is managed by a
board of commissioners, or examin-
ers? Have we any human, material
in this country which is not Of the
old Adam? Are not the members
of this board as liable to be gov
erned in their official action by
prejudice, selEinterest, impure mo-
tives and dishonesty, as Senator's,
Representatives, Cabinets, Or the
President ? Then as to the exam
nations: School Commissioners
and Superintendents all over the
country will substantiate the cor
rectness of the statement, that many
