they have never, since 1T was hhlshed,

and the filling of the reservoir was caused by tie
recent heavy rains. and not because OF any lnteh-

W,sufNGrOy, March 27.-Secretares Eyarts ard
Schurz are making very little progress in their work
unon the civil service rules, but they hope to give
the subiect their attention soon as the Southern
questions are disposed OF. A moderate reduction of
the clerical force in some of the bureaus OF the
Interior Department is found to be necessary, and
will be made Immediately. During the last few
months of the late Administration great number
of supernumerary appointments were made IN that
department through the influence OF Senators and
REPRESENTATIVES.. Many of the appointees are
wholly unit for the positions in which they were
placed. The clerical force Is also considerably
larger than is warranted by the appropriations.
In making the reductions it will be attempted to
dismiss those least competent to perform the duties
Ia which they are assigned. The organization OF
boards of examination in the Interior and other de-
partments is delayed in order that 1t may be made
in accordance with the civil service rules adopted
by the Cabinet. 1t is understood that in some of
the departments clerks who are inefficient or other
wise unfit for their duties will be ordered before

Wendell Phillips has told only half the facts. Gen.

the slave Thomas Sims. Wendell Phillips did not
state the fact that Gen. Devens, having done MS

own money that slave of his master and Immediately
gave him his freedom. Gen. Devens's frends say
moreover, that in the war for emancipation he was
found always at the front in the thckest OF 'he
fight when Wendell Phillips was demanding pay ior
speeches in the rear.
