A SPECIMEN OF CIVIL SERVICE
RkFORM.

The report of the Custom House Com
mission lately made to the Secretary OF
the Treasury, reveals nest of political
corruption, an abuse of political trust.
and lack OF business integrity that might
we'll stsrtle the country. Appointments
were made in utter disregard of business
capacity, and positions requiring the
skill and experience of experts were filed
by incompetent idlers under the pressure
of political and party considerations
Brides and grstuities were as frequent
and commonplace among the employees
as though it were legitimate part of their
business. A regular percentage on the
salaries of the officials was assessed AID
paid as q matter of course tor the support
of the party. In fact it was everything
implied by the common prase-a "Cus-
tom House Clique" The commission
pronounce the manner OF appointment
to be "unsound in principle, dangerous
in practice, demorslizing in its influence
on all connected with the custom ser
vices, and calculated to encourage and
perpetuate official ignorance, inefticiency
and corruption.
On the reception OF this report Secre-
,sry SHERMAN referred it to the Presi-
dent asking instructions on its subject
matter, to which Mr.. HAYES replied as
follows:

American Israelites,

NEW YORK, May 29-At the session of
the Board of Delegates of the American
Israelites. the Committee on Statistics
made lengthy report showing the state
of the charitable institutions, number OF
newspapers, &C., under Jewish control.
Four secret Hebrew societies were men,
toned, showing a mem mbership of 500 600.
Simon Walt, of Washington, Vice
President of the meeting, read
the following letter from Secretary
of State Evsrts, dated Washington
May 26th: II have TO acknowledge the
receipt of your letter of the lst inst. in
relation to the hsrdships, outrsges and
prosecutions of Israeltles dwelling in
Turkish provinces. IN view of the op-
preston of these unhappy people and OF
the danger to which they are exposed,
you appeal to the Department to Instruct
the United States ministers and repre-
sentatives near Turkish provinces to CO.
operate with heir colleagues IN such
measures as may be desired for the relief
and protection Of the Hebrews dwelling
in the prlnclpslities, aud you instance
especially those in Roumsnia. Much
Of the misery that ls now beisg en-
dured is inseparable from the
state OF war in which the country
is now engaged. The provinces are all
more or less under military control, and
it is feared that the ordinary diplomatic
protests and representations cannot be
made at present as effective as wished
by all VINO desire right, justice and hu-
manlty to prevail. In furtherances of your
wishes, the department will refer q
copy of your letter to our Minister at
Constantinople, with instructions to take
such action in the matter as will in
his judgment be best calculated to secure
An smelioration OF the condition OF an op.
pressed people.
