WASHINGTON, July 3.--The appoint
ment of ]. Milton Best as Postmaster at
Paducah, KY, in place of MIR. Pickett, sus-
pended, gives a striking illustration Of Pres
ident Grants appreciation Of bis civil SER
vice reform system. DR.. Best, as is well
known, had a claim pending in Congress
for damages for the destruction of his pro-
perty during the war. After a fierce strug-
vle in both Houses bill for his relief was
passed, but it was vetoed by the President
because he thought it was opening too
wide a door for the payment of war
claims. DIR. Best thereupon addressed
letter to the President, setting
forth bis peculiar necessities, and
asking fer an Office that would pay him
from S., 900 to 1900 year, and promis-
ing that be would give up the Office again
at the end of the year if he was required to
do so. Gen. Garfield and Senator Wilson
made the application. The President re
ferred it to the Postm2ster-Ge alluded
to his veto of Best's bill, and requested that
if there was good reason for the suspen-
sion of Mr.. Pickett that he be suspended,
and that the postofice be given to DIR. Best.
The Office was not quite worth the sum
suggested by DR.. Best, but, nevertheless,
it was something, and no time was lost in
carrying out this item of Civil Service Re-
form. ................---'.. .-......,... -.-

The investigation of the affairs of the
Freodmen's Bureau by the officers of the
War Department has already resulted In
the discovery of gross Irregularities. Among
the first items inquired into was that IN re-
lation to the hospital funds. A year ago
Congress appropriated seventy-eight thous-
and dollars to be used exclusively for hospi.
tai purposes. The officers of the
Bureau, however instead of keeping
it separate Gainped the amount with
the other funds of the Bureau,
and used the whole for general purposes
including the expenses Of Howard Uni7ers-
ity. The result is thst TIE hospital fund
cannot be accounted for. 1t has also been
asceifSihed that the hospital owes $4,000
to the Commissary Department for supplies
furnished. This should all have been paid
out of the fund above referred to. In view
of this discovery the War Department Of
ficials will scrutinize all items very closely
before they will accept the control of the
RlIrea8 from Gen Howard and his coil
leagues.
