Notice to Inspectors OF Election.
To the Inspectors Of Election ia the several Dis
tricts OF the Kingdoms:
Inquiries having been made whether persons
who are exempt from the payment Of personal
taxes by reason Of being clergymen, teachers,
pupils in High Schools, fremen, etc, by reason
OF being over the age Of sixty years. or whose
taxes have been excused by the Assessor on &C
count OF infirmity poverty, allow ed by law
20 vote at the election for Representatives.
It'll my opinion that all such persons emit
tied to vote. The Tax Collector should issue to
each such person a tax receipt with the words
"Qualitied to Vote" upon it, which he must sign,
and in place OF the amount of taxes he must
write "exempt" or Excused" On the presenta-
ton of this Tax Receipt the Inspectors of Elec
ton at their sessions previous the election,
name of the voter be put the list of voters
and the receipt returned TO the voter.
At the General Election TO be held on the Sd OF

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
THE COMMISSIONERS BEFORH
THE HOUSE COMMITTEE.

They are not Prepared to Speak as to the
Adequacy of t.ie Lava Provision
for AN Assistant Examiuer Urged-@
Five Out OF Twenty successful ia ss<
curing Positions.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-The Civil Ser.
vice Commissioners to-day appeared be-
fore the House Committee on Civil Ser
vice Reform and explained the provisions
and practical effect of the civil service
act. They had embodied their views in
written statement, which was read to the
committee. In this paper the commits
sioners say that the majority OF the press
emit commissioners have been in Offices
put snort time, and are not prepared to-
SPEAK IRON their own experience in re-
speci 10 the complete adequacy OF the law
TO the accomplishments It's declared pur-
poses. Ihey understand that their prede-
cessors, upon whom devolved the labor OF
constructing a practical system for the
administration OF the law, found in their,
experience no reason for recommending
any change in the act, and say the pres
ent commissioners have thus far found mo-
reason for different opinion. At the
same time they are not prepared to deny
themselves the privilege of recommends.
ing changes be. eater, should they be-
deemed desirable.
AN ASSISTANT EXAMINER.
They urge that provision be made for
an Increase IN the clerical force of the
commission, and the especial impOr lance
OF providing an Assistant Examiner,
whose salary shall not be less than $500
per annum.
In reply to inquiries the COmmissis ners
said they were opposed 10 remOVise the
restriction which provides that no ~ iasOn
over 40 years Of age shall be examilssI by
the commission. While few persons
over that age might properly be exam ned.
they thought that as rule mes should.
not be appointed over that age. There.
was only 10 per cent. of the departmental
service in which special fitness was re-
CURED, and the rule did not extend to
these places. They called the attention.
of she committee 10 certain inequalities
in classification, and recommended that
they be corrected. AS an instance of
this they said that man app, inted M
copyist in the Treasury Department
would receive 5000 per aanum, while an
appointee to similar position in the
Post Office Department would receiye
only 1920.
FIVE OUT or TWENTY SECURE PLACES.
The commissioners said tnat five out OF
every twenty persons examined by the
commissioners had secured appointments.
They also said that since the law vent
into effect there had only been 600 changes.
in the departmental service OUT Of 5000
persons subject to the civil service rules.
A number Of questions were put TO the
commissioners by Tie members OF the
committee regarding the propOsitiOntO ex-
anime all persons who did not enter the
civil service under the operations of the
law. Some discussion also occurred as
10 the means best calculated to insure an
equal distribution Of appointments among
States and Territories based upon their.
population, but without action the ce-s
mlttee adjourned the hearing until next
Wednesday.

From the House Military Committee.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-The House
Committee on Military Affairs to-day in
structed Dir. Wheeler. Of Alabama, to re-
port favorably the bill mt reduced by him
to authorize the President 10 restore ofii-
ceGs to the army in certain cases. The
hi contains long preamble reciting the
action OF the Board OF Army Officers, CON
Vened by the President by order of April
y, 1878, to examine into the case Of a late
MaiOr-General of United States Vol
Unteers, ana brevet Brigauier-Geh al
and Colonel of the army, who WAS
tried by c0urt-martial and declaring
that legislation is needed to enable the
President TO give effect to the recommen-
dations of such boards Of army officers.
Therefore, that justice may be done, it is
provided that whenever a board OF army
officers is convened by the President to
examine into and report upon case IN
which an officer Of the army has been dis
missed or cashiered from the service, and
said board recommends that the officer be
restored TO the service, the President is

from the army.
Section provides that whenever
the President restores an officer to the
army, as provided IN the first section of
the act, he may in his discretion place
said officer on the retired list of the army
in the same grade as that to which he was
appointed, the retired list being increased
in number to that extent; and all con-
flicting laws are suspended 80 far as they
are inconsistent with the provisions of
this act. But this act shall not be con-
strued as authorizing pay, compensation
or allowance in any case prior TO the APP
pOntment under the provisions of this
act. This bill is intended to cover the
case of Fitz John Porter. Only two
members of the committee disagreed to

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 27.--A telegram
received at Presidio to-day from Fort
Bowie, Arizona, signed Gen. Crook, gives
contents of a dispatch received by the
latter from Lieut.. Maus, dated Nocori,
Sonora, Mex. Jan. 81. 1t states that the
troops under Capt. Crawford, on Jan. II,
surrounded and attacked an Indian camp
fifty miles southeast of NOcOri. A two
hours running fight took place, aud
number of Indians were wounded,
but all escaped. The hOstiles sent
word that they wished TO hold
a conference. While the troops in camp
were awaiting the time fixed for the con-
ference they were attacked by 154 Next

them know that the troops were AmerI-
Lieut,P. Maus advanced to talk with them,
when a vOlley was fred. Crawford was
shot in the head, and Horn, the interpre
ter was slightly wounded in the left arm.
The Mexican fire was returned by the
scouts of CrawfOrd's command, but was
only sufficient to keep the MeXicans at a
distance. The firing lasted half an hour,
when Lieut.. Maus succeeded in having a
talk with the officer in command of the
Mexican troops, their Captain having
been killed. He was told the Americans
were taken for uostiles owing to the dark

ON TRIAL FOR INCEST.



but are Fooled.
HENRIETTA, TEX, Jan. 27.-The pre-
lminary trial of A. A. Steagel, of Clay
county, charged with living in adultery
with his daughter, came of yesterday.
Bail was refused prisoner on testimony
showing that he had administered all
the medicine taken by his daughter, from
which it was inferred that he poisoned
her. During the trial the crowd brought
rope into the Court room for the purpose
OF lynching Steagel. The crowd was kept
quiet until after the trial. When the Off
GERS started with the prisoner for the Jail
one of the crowd carried the rope with a
loop in one end, and as soon as the defen-
dant stepped out OF the court house door
an effort was made to lynch him, but the
rope man was caught and Steagel, seeing
the intention, ran with lightning speed TO
the Jail begging for entrance, which was
quickly given by an officer, who CHANGED
10 be there. The officers turned upon the
crowd, brandishing theirnistolsin the faces
Of the men, threatening to kill the first man
who pursued the prisoner. The officers
continued 10 back until they had reached
the door OF the Jail and there stood with
pistols in hand until the crowd dispersed.
Public feeling runs high, and it is thought
another attempt to lynch Steagel will soon
be made.
