"As TO Mr.. Arthur, I don't want 10 talk

She Results OF II,

The satisfactory Working or the Law.
She Results OF It..
WASHINGTON, March 1870 far the
operation Of tho Civil Service Reform act
he's given pretty general satisfaction. The
following extract from letter written by a
prominent official, who, although not con.
nected with the administration ofthe pres.
ent Civil Service act, has long been known
as one Of the most intelligent aud practical
advocates Of a reform in the method OF
making appointments to Office, is Of inter-
est as showing something Of the effect Of
the law. Tho writer bad been questioned
touching certain testimony given by him
coma two years ago, before the Senate
Civil Service Committee-which testimony,
as coming from an official Of long expe-
rienco aud thorough knowledge OF the
methods in vogue in the several depart.
menss, created marked impre e-sion at the
time, Gnd wrote in part az follows: "In
those parts OF tho service to which the
Civil Service rules apply, there has been q
great change for the. better since my te1.i-
mony was given. There has been an Gu
tire cecoation OF that importantly for office,
and OF that arbitrary removal OF clerks to
make places for Others backed by freaher
political influence . which I referred.
"This improvement began even before
those rules took effect. II WAS due, be.
lieve, to the growth Of nm intelligent and
exacting public opinion. which bore fruit
finally in the Psndleton bill in the Treas.
ury Department. am bound to say the
improvement hes been due to the personal
character and course Of the present Sscre-
tary, who, in circumstances which to the
mere politician would have furnished a
pretext for official slaughter, set his face
like aint against arbitrary or partisan
changes in the personnel Of the depart
ment, and who, when urged to remove
worthy clerks because they had no in,
Aueuce, declared that be hinse)f would be
their. Influence ~ ~
ITO Judge Folger's stand against such
influences is due the fact shown by the
Treaaurer's lest annual report that in the
last fiscal year there were only three re,
movals from his Office, all OF which were
for cause. This is striking change from
the showing for the year 1876. when there
wero three hundred and for,y.eight changes
in the Treasurer'n Office, with the net result
Of reducing the force ferty peraons."
