On the 10th of the present month
the anniversary Of the day on which til
civil-serylce act was passed, the civil
service commi ssioners will submit to tn
President for transmission to Congress
their first annual report. As the actua
work of the commission did not begil
It'll July 10th, 1882, the facts deal
within their report will cover but 81,
months. In spite of the difficulties in.
s,parable from the Inauguration of
new method Of selection for appointment
to office, the commissioners express them
selves as satisfied with the result of their
labors. The act proves to have been
fairly well drawn Ii was feared that
some embarrassment would be caused
by the ambiguity of the old law relating
TO the classification of the government
employees, but this difficulty has been
reduced to a minimum. There is no
intention, it is understood, TO ask Con-
gress for any new legislation, except the
creation of new office-a clerksaip-at
salary of a 81, 400, which, it is said,
experience has shown to be necessary
for the proper discharge of the commits
sion's work. From the outset the COM
mission has been able to meet every call
for clerks needed in the department in
Washington or elsewhere frc,n the lists
Of persons who have passed the prescrib-
ed examinations satisfactorily II is
claimed by the commissioners that the
material secured for appointment to Of
Zee under the new system compares ia
yorably with the class of men thrust for
ward FIR cIerkships by politicians under
he spoils system. The public exami-
nations when first held were not, pcr-
,aps, very numerousiy attended, but
he later examinations have brought to-
,ether increased numbers of COMPETE
ors. The number of Offices to which |
he ciyil-service act applies is found to
,e about 1900. the salaries ranging
rom 5000 to $500 per annum- The
PRACTICAL working of the eivil-service act,
While not securing all that its friends
,oped for, has been, it may be observed.
utficiently successful to justify further
rial of this promising instrument of re-
orm. San.

MURDERER OF MRS. sURRATT

The American Register of Washing.
ton contains the following in refereue.
to the slaycrs of Mrs. Surratt Il
Nearly all Of tue men who were ae
tive agents or accomPlices in murdss@
Mrs. Surratt are dead, and nearly ail
died by their own hands. One SILL
lives, and in this city, and has recently
spoken upon the subject through the
medium of the press. It is said that he
does not sleep unless the lamps are
lighted in bis room Of night, but by day
light he talks and writes as boldly and
as badly as if his conscience was not
csnkered Speaking of the slaughter
ed woman he says:
"Mrs Surratt was the master spirit
among the Lincoln assassins. She was
a woman of unusual nerve, and also Of
unusual intelligence. During that trial
her behavior was frm, her nerves un.
shaken, and she saw her danger and the
methods Of meeting the graver evidence
believe that she kept those men up to
their work-that Booth himself was in.
feror to her in purpose"
Age and experience should have
taught Judge Holt discretion if not in
telligtnt deccncy. This slpr and sinful
'landcr upon murdered woman is all |
the more solcmnly vile coming from one
whose white hairs would reasonably com.
,nand reverence.
Like dying reprobate with the stiu-
ing reproaches of conscience haunting

through shame from the frown Of the
American people.
