Civil Service Rules.

WAsHISGroN, September S0.-A fran.
Tic effort Is maintained to convey the
impression that the civil service rule,
have been disregarded, and that the Ohio
clerks in Washington have been given 10
understand that II they do not 70 home
10 vote they will lose their places. This
has already been denied with an explic.
itneSs that ought TO be sufficient, but the
clamor Is still keptup. These stories are
not true. The clerks can 20 home 10
vote, aud may contribute 10 campaign
expenses II they wish to. They will not
be disturbed II they don't wish TO. This
ia the substance Of circular Just Issued
BY the Postmaster General 10 the EN-.
ployes Of his department. The reform
OF the civil service has not been aban.

DISAPPOINTED INDIANS.
The Indians are very much saddened,
to use Mr.. VIM. Welsh's phrase, almost
"heArt.broken," at the decision OF the
President, and instead Of returning their
answer to-day they have asked an exten.
sion Of time, and the third pow.woW has
been postponed till Monday. They have
been so often deceived by promises that
they are afraid that another deception is
sought to be practiced on them; that II
they consent 10 go to the Missouri for this
winter they will be kept their permanent.
ly. II would not be justifable TO com.
plain II they refused, in view OF the man.
ner in which they have been treated in
the past. Spotted Tail and Red Cloud
will undoubtedly use all their influence
10 secure acquiescence in the Presidents
wish, bu! their Is grave danger that they
will not be able 10 control all the mem.
bers Of their tribe, and that another In.
dian war may grow out OF the affair.
The Indians were evidently cajoled and
deceived when they were induced to &C.
Cept their supplies at the Missouri river,
and they feel that the wrong ought TO be
rectifsd.
The statement is made to-. day that As.
sislaut Secretary Mccormick has con.
sented to hold his office till the end Of the
extra session; that is, till the first Of De.
cember. .
NEW INDIAN COMMISSIONER
Mr.. lIOyt, the new Indian Commission.
er, has assumed the duties Of his office.
The assertion that lie has been kept adj
vised Of the progress Of the investigation
Of the Indian Bureau, while Mr.. Smith,
the late Commissioner, was not, from
which n damaging inference ia sought TO
be conveyed, Is slander invented by
some Of Smiths friends, who think to
serve him by impugning the methods and
motives OF Secretary Schurz.
