The civil service Examinations.

CAUSE OF RECENT DELAYS IN NOTIFYING APPLI-
GIANTS OF THEIR STANDING.
Some complaint has been made by applicants
who have been examined recently for appoint
ments in the departmental service Of the delay Of
the GILL service commission In notifying them Of
the result OF their examinations One lady, who
says she was examined in october, writes to THE
STAR that the applicants were then informed that
they would know in about three weeks the result
of the examination, but since then she has heard
nothing from the commission. When a STAR re-
porter called this matter TO the attention OF of
the civil service commissioners to-day, that gentle
man said that no promise was made TO applicants
furthes than that the papers would be marked as
soon as possible. The delay that has occurred re-
Gently arose from the fact that the examinations
occurred at time when many departmental officials
and employees take their annual vacations, and when
the heads OF bureaus and departments are prepar-
Ing their annual reports that the services OF the
gentlemen composing the board OF examiners We're
needed IN their departments. There were many
things to be considered, too, the commissioner sad
besides the anxiety OF applicants to know their
standing It was right he Thought, to give one set
OF applicants fair chance for appointment before
placing others on the list OF eligbes to compete
with them, otherwise persons would be diScour-
aged is from dn, applying p Then the was
sons for appointment as fast as there was
demand for them The papers were marked
reasonable delay. Papers had been received
recently from fifteen states, making
batch OF several hundred to be examined and
lNdIhCus Stiit many dppNCduJS tlldt hi
the board had to do was TO set down and look over
their papers "There is wrong impression" said
one OF the officials OF the commission to STAR re-
porter, "that the civil service commission anG per-
sons connected with their Office, mark the papers
and conduct the examinations. The boards OF ex-
aminers consist OF persons recommended by the
heads OF departments TO conduct examinations for
those branches OF the service which the applicant
expects to enter. This gives the examination
very practical character as the examiners know
the necessities OF the public service. may some
times happen that the applicant Is not satisfied
With the marking OF his papers, in which case he
can appeal TO the commission, who win review his
papers and give him higher marking II he is en-
titled to it."

The Swain Court Martial.

AN APPLICATION BY THE ACCUSED OFFICER FOR SUB
POENAS FOR MORE WITNESSES.
Mr.. Bateman, whose examination was continued
before the Swain court martial yesterday, after
THE STARS report closed, gave detailed account
OF his transactions with Gen. Swain relating to
the so-called due bill for s5,0oO and the circum-
stances attending the loan by his bank to Col
Morrow.
Before the cross-examnation had been con-
cluded the Judge advocate submitted an appiica-
ton by Gen. Swain for subpHuas for number Of
witnesses including newspaper men in this city
and bankers and bank clerks In New York and
Washington, and Hon. Benz. Butterworth The
judge advocate doubted the wisdom OF granting an
Application so broad In scope, stating that among
OF New York firms Without determining the
question the court adjourned until to-day.
BANKER BATEMAN FURTHER CRosS-EXAMINED To- DAY.
To-day, after an agreement had been effected
between the judge advocate and the counsel for
the defense in regard to the witnesses to be sub
pGnaed, Mr. Grosvener resumed the cross-examf-
nation OF the witness Bateman. Some time was
devoted to the ascertainment OF the circumstances
attending the loan by Gen. Swain to De Audrey.
The witness said that he acted simply in the
capacity OF broker. and had charged De Aubrey
$50 for procuring from Swain the advance Of $3.50.
In reference to his discovery OF the fraudulent
character OF MorrOw's vouchers, witness said he
had RETAINED from notifying the War department
OF the facts because he realized that Morrow would
in that event be contaminated and dismissed,
and he (wttness) would lose all the money ne had
advanced. Under the pooling arrangement wit
never saw notification that the pool was to pre-
sent TO the paymaster general, reciting the agree
ment with Morrow, so that the trustee could draw
Morrow's pay; suspected that Swain was a party
to Morrow's arrangement with him (witness). and
knew that the vouchers were fraudulent when they
were negotiated; witness did not contemplate an
arrangement with the War department. but relied
upon COL Morrow; understood that Morrow would
notify the paymaster general that his pay should
be stopped and paid over to the trustee; thought
the strength OF the pool lay in the fact that it held
the duplicate vouchers. and could cause Morrow'S
m I'D
vice, but did not place his interest In Swaim's
hands
Q. Did you believe that Morrow had imposed
upon General Swain?
a. Well, though he had imposed upon all OF us
Mr.. GrOsvenor sought to show that Bateman did
not purchase for Swain certain stocks charged in
his account Argument followed on the propriety
OF going into the subject, and the court decided IN
the affirmative.
The witness said that on January &c. 1882 he had
an order for 200 shares OF Reading in addition TO the
order by Swain for similar amount OF stock, and
detailed other transactions OF the kind. Recurring
to the due bill witness said that at Swaims request
he put the $40 and 6" on the due bill as memoran-
dun.

A CoLORED PREACHER DRAGGED FROM Hrs Pull
PIT.-Rev. CIV. Martin, one OF the preachers who
signed the petition asking Senators Brown and
Colquitt TO address the cocred people OF Atlanta,
Ga, upon the results OF the recent election, was
mobbed Saturday night by crowd of about fifty
persons, who entered Providence church, where he
was preaching. and after extinguishing the gas,
grabbed the pastor and would have hurled him
nom the building but for the interference OF several
members OF the church A large crowd OF women
were present, and when the gas went out great ex-
element prevailed. AS the mob entered the
church they Yelled "Kill him; burn him; don't let
him preach any more; he sold US TO the democrats"
These cries frightened everybody, and when MT.
Martin found himself safe outside OF the church he
sought policeman, whom he asked to guard him
home. Every cOlOred preacher In the town, Il Is
said. has been threatened.
