SETTING HIMSELF RIGHT.
Commissioner Gregory Writes Letter 10
Secretary Teller.

Civil Service Commissioner Gregory, not
satisfied with the published reports of his in
terview with the secretary of tho interior on
the subject of promotions in the interior de-
partinent, has addressed that official an'ex-
planatory letter, which was received by Sec
retary Teller yesterday.
Tho commissioner comedies that the civil
service rules apply only to the classified SER
vice, and that if, according to tho secretary s
statement, no classification had been made in
the interior department., or existed there eN-
ccpt that of the four classes prescribed by
section 1863 of the revised statutes, appoint
mcnts to the 5000 grade would not be viola
ton of the law.
He then goes on to say that classification
has been recognized by some of the depart
monts in reporting vacancies to the civil SER
vice commission, and that congress has re-
peatedly recognized and created 5000 and
$1,000 grades of clerkships.
He still further modities his views as eX-
pressed in the first clause of his letter by
writing, that according to his Interpretation,
section of the civil service law by clear
implication requires tho classification Of all
officers, clerks, or employees of tho executive
civil service, except those merely employed
as laborcrs or worlmen, and such rs are nomi-
mated for confirmation by the senate.
In conclusion, the commissioner expresses
his entire confidence in the secrotary's readi-
ness and disposition to comply with the pro-
visions of the civil service law and the rules
on the same subject promulgated by tho
President, adding, further, that he has not the
slightest suspicion that any act or appoint
ment OF the secretary there has been any in
territorial violation of tho law or the civil SER
vice rules.
Secretary Teller is perfectly content to ac-
cept the commissioners version of tho inter
view, and his conclusions as substantially
correct, and in conversation with reporter
for THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN last evening
he stated emphatically and specifically that
he did not propose to engage in a controversy
with the civil service commissioners and that
as soon as they could make up their minds
what they thought the law meant he would
cheeriully accept their Interpretation, and
endeavor Co GO ipy With such Interpretation
to tho best Of his ability,
The reporter called at tho rooms of tho
civil service commission yesterday afternoon
to make further inquiries on this subject. 1t
was late aud Mr. Gregory had gone to his
Hyattsyillo boarding house. Mr.. Eaton was
resting from his nrduOus labors away in New
York or New England, and Judge Thoman
when last heard from, was in Youngstown,
