The CIVIL SERVICE CoMxIssIoNERs.-It

dessrs. Eaton and Shellabarger on the Ciyi
Service 1visory Board to the places vacated
by Messrs. Curtis and Medill, was premature.
A report now comes from Washington that
no such appointments appear on the oficia

N. Granger, agent Of this S,ce,r. was
IN town yesterday, ard left his report
for the Secretary and Treasurer, as reQlired
up to April IL. Tae report OF his labors
thus far in lecturing, organizing societies
and obtaining pledges will probably prove
very acceptable to the committee; but b.
fears they will not be so we'll satisfied with
the amount OF his collections which have
been very small He thinks be has not brass
enough to successfully follow or confront
such man as L. IL. Stone, in soliciting
funds for the State Society. We trust he
will not be discouraged, for ne is not respon-
slble for the con iucs of another over whose
course he has no CONTROL 10 our opinion
The State Society has been fortunate in the
selection OF MIR. Granger as its agent, and w.
think the public may rest assured that thin
year the Society has in its service sincere
iaborer, and an honest man. Witness.
