Special to the Globe
WASHINGTON, April 27.-Gen. Bragg
has been asked to explain the policy of the
postmaster general with reference to the
filling OF the small postoffices, some 1000
or more OF which are now vacant. Said he:
HE is trying to establish a system and it
has TOO much method. No system can be
applied which will meet the exigencies of
the case. No two may be alike Gen.
Bragg has contempt for civil service re-
form. To New York interviewer he said:"I
never think OF the schoolmaster civil service
board without being reminded of an incident
that happened during the war; had come
up from Fortress Monroe on short leave
OF absence, L arrived late in the evening
and was preparing to enjoy the unusual
luxury OF sleeping in a comfortable bed in
warm room, when 1 heard a wrap at my
door, and old Col. BeaI, who had been
lieutenant governor of Wisconsin, entered.
He was born and raised in Maryland and
his conversation and manners showed his
Southern birth and breeding. He was loval
to the core and brave as a lion, but he had
not been fortunate, and when he came to
see me | supposed he was 'dead-broke' and
knew that l had some money or I would
not be in Washington. After he had been
seated very short time he asked: Gen
eral, may [ touch your bell.'
Certainly, said I. The touch brought
brandy and water, and after he had touched
the 'belP three or four times, the governor
rose, Strengthened himself, tilted his back,
thrust his thumbs in the arm-holes of his
waist coat, cleared his voice, and began:

sion as colonel in one of the new negro reg
iments about to be organized in Florida,
and, have BEEN before this board of exam
inatiOn. Well said l, suppose you got
through Got through? Got through?
Oh, yes, got through, sir; no doubt about
that. Sir, you see, sir, old Casey is presi-
dent of the board. Silas Casey, you know,
sir. Why, L knew Casey long ago, be-
fore he was as big a man as he
seems to think he is now,
Well, sir, l went before his
board, sir. There he and the rest of them
sat looking as wise as owls. Well, general,
what kind of fool question do you sup
pose that fellow Casey fired at me? Why,
sir, he asked me to do sum in decimal
fractions. just raised my spectacles and
took a good look at him and his board and
then said: Gentlemen, if you expect to
